YO, fantastic interview Dr. Adna! I didn't even know y'all had this interview done already 😅. So now that you're finishing up med school, are you ready to jump in and be a psychologist too? LOL. Really good job, my friend and looking forward to part two. Goodness, I'm putting this in a part of my didactic training for the week. Thank you, Dr. Adna
Thanks Dr. Joe (and thanks for helping to set this up!!!). Psychology is cool, but idk if I can do another several years without a job 😂. This should count as psych units haha. I appreciate you Dr. Joe!
@@DrAdnan LOL! Yeah Dr. Adna...I know you're ready for residency now. Are they going to be streaming your graduation? I'd like to tune in. Let's go! You're almost there man.
Haha thanks! idk if anyone’s ready for it, but I’m sure looking forward to be done with it 😂. I think they’re still working out the details. Yeah, it’s exciting for sure!
Greetings Dr. Adnan! You are becoming a masterful interviewer! Do you think you would like to try being a medical correspondent some day, like Dr.Sanjay Gupta? I am seriously considering this, if a tv network would accept it from a PA. I think you would be great!
Greetings! I still have a few weeks of med school left, but thank you! That would be a great opportunity if I was ever given that chance. I hope everything is well with you.
