The DOCTORGOALS Podcast


Apr 29, 2019

We feel the pressure to do well on each and every test where “just passing” is not even close to good enough. We’re judged by our MCAT scores and told which specialty to go into based on our Step 1 scores.

Reality? The art of medicine is NOT a test question.

Dr. Renee Rodriguez is a successful pediatric cardiologist who:

  • Scored below average on both the MCAT and USMLE Step 1
  • Failed pharmacology in medical school
  • Passed her pediatric boards by ONE point

And guess what? She’s doing just fine!

She matched in a top tier residency program at Stanford and is building her busy practice as a part-time doctor, full-time mom, and fitness advocate.

Tune in to hear how she overcome the stigma of test scores; why she decided part-time over full-time; and so much more.
