The Age of Anxiety & the Many Paths to Peace w/ Dr. Ellen Vora #395
The Life Stylist
What's the Difference Between Psychiatry and Nephrology?
As an undergraduate at yale university, i really got comfortable with the gray areas and the complexities of the human condition. That was what was most interesting to me. But i was still premed in the background, and ended up going to medical school at columbia. And while i was ere, i was really tormented by the decision of what specialty to do. So i ansed up going into psychiatry.
