I’ve run one marathon and a few halves – the latter being my favorite distance of the two. I believe in daily ice cream intake.

Don’t take your foot off the gas pedal yet, though. Residency applications are just as nuanced as medical school applications.

University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences
I'm Sandy Tadros and I'm a 2015 graduate of Washington University of St. Louis with a kind-of strange major in philosophy-neuroscience-psychology. I currently attend The University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences in the class of 2019. I spent an interesting two years working for the Writing Center at WashU's campus and am exploring a career as a physician-journalist.
In my free time I watch way too much Netflix, and I love cooking.
