This week, I’m chatting with Allen Huang, a current Oral Maxillofacial resident at Keck Medical Center of USC. He attended UCSD for his undergraduate degree as well as UCSF for dental school. In this episode, we discuss a number of topics, ranging from Allen’s advice to high school students transitioning into college, how he figured out his system for success, what questions to ask for those students considering the pre-med track and much more.
Allen and I dive deep into what constitutes success– and how your teen can find what works for them.

“I used to pray for what I have now. So every day I go to the hospital and it’s a struggle, I’m dealing with hard patients or I’m staying for boards, or whatever it is– I constantly tell myself how lucky I am to be where I am today.”
