This week’s episode features fellow Podcaster and Howard University College of Medicine Alumnus Dr. Derrick Burgess. He is an Orthopedic Surgeon subspecialized in sports. What does that mean? I’m glad you asked, because we talk about it in this episode!
Dr. Burgess shares his journey from Xavier University in New Orleans, LA to Howard for medical school and residency. He shares the setback he faced when he did not match the first time around. He talks about how he worked hard to become an even more competitive applicant and was ultimately successful.Â
Dr. Burgess is the host of Timeout With the Sports Dr. , a podcast where life, sports and medicine intersect! It is available on all major streaming platforms.
