In this new mini-series, we talk to individuals who took a detour in medical school and did not stick to the traditional 4-year curriculum. We hope that this series will help shed light on the various reasons students have to adjust their trajectory, normalize how common this phenomenon is, and reduce the stigma associated with taking more time to get through medical school than allotted.
David Mata is a non-traditional student who attended Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and is now a current PGY-1 at UCSD Family Medicine. David had a non-traditional journey to medical school finishing his master’s at Western Michigan University and being in the public health workforce prior to starting medical school.
