Ms. Shirley Anderson and Mr. Doyen Rainey are advisors at The UT Dallas Health Professions Office. They join us to talk about how applicants can decide if post-bac coursework is a viable option, and how life experiences come into play when applying to professional school.

They mention several resources and book recommendations for applicants. Here they are:

  • Atul Gawande, Complications - surgery
  • Oliver Sachs, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - neuroscience
  • Pamela Grimm, Just Here Trying to Save a Few Lives – ER
  • Atul Gawande, The Checklist Manifesto – healthcare systems and patient safety
  • Atul Gawande, Being Mortal – medical compassion and end-of-life care
