Is a three-year Internal Medicine residency just a stepping stone, or the foundation of your career? Join host Deana Golini as she interviews Ishan Gupta, an M4 at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, about his hyper-focused path toward a Cardiovascular Fellowship. Ishan shares the blueprint for navigating an osteopathic medical curriculum that included a staggering 120 exams in two years. He discusses the transition from a specialized SMP at Brown University to clinical rotations across the Phoenix “DO-friendly” hub. Learn how he leveraged a leadership role in the American College of Physicians (ACP) to build residency credibility and why he believes the “DO stigma” is rapidly disappearing in competitive internal medicine circles. Whether you are a DO student aiming for a competitive fellowship or an M1 looking for the best way to network within a state chapter, Ishan’s strategic approach provides the actionable steps you need. If Ishan’s journey provides the clarity you need for your residency path, like this video, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more insider blueprints for med school success!
