Hello fellow physicians, This is Vidya Kollu and Anish Desai. We would like to welcome you to our very first underdog physicians podcast. We would like to start this podcast by first introducing ourselves. My name is Vidya and I am a hematology oncology fellow. My name is Anish and I am a hospitalist. The idea for this podcast started from a common journey that we both quickly realized we shared- The Underdog Story. We are both first generation Indian American physicians and have struggled a lot to get to where we are now. As underdogs, the deck always feels like its stacked against us. No matter what you do, you never reach your goal and possibly end up in an even more difficult situation. Been there and done that. Matter of fact have a PhD in that. Jokes aside, this journey made us realize that we do not have to do this alone. So we are creating what we wish we had during our times of never-ending struggle. We hope this will be a podcast version of Alicia Keys Underdog song. This podcast is especially for the undergo pre-med, medical students and residents who want a great comeback story. But also for anyone seeking to find a source of inspiration. We will be discussing application process, work-life balance and giving supra-therapeutic doses of motivation and encouragement. We will also be interviewing amazing physicians who overcame great odds and now are doing very inspiring work. So no matter where you are in your journey, if you are someone looking to embrace challenges and find a supportive and nurturing community then you have come to the right place. Namaste
