About this episode

Please listen and watch our latest episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast with Dr. Sarah El Halabi who just went through the match process and started her internship at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York. We discuss the match process, the number of programs to apply to, the virtual interview process, and composing the rank list. Then, we delve into how to make your internship year a worthwhile and fun year.

Please follow Sarah on her twitter handle: @SarahElHalabi1 where she will provide you with updates and advice on her internship year.

This episode was recorded on the anniversary of the August 4th #Beirutexplosion, so we discuss this event and the events in Lebanon at the beginning of the podcast. We also discuss the latest episode The Lebanese Politics Podcast which is a great listen and discusses the events that led to the Beirut blast.
