Meet A Graduate: Wendy Chen, MD

Is there life after medical school? Yes. Residency, check. Fellowship, check. Interviewing for attending positions, in progress. 

Despite an interruption in course work to care for her cancer-stricken mother, Dr. Wendy Chen never lost focus on the final goal: earning her MD. She was an active student leader, becoming one of the first OUMSA presidents, and was always supportive of current and prospective students — while a medical student, as a resident, as a geriatric fellow. 

Dr. Wendy Chen is wrapping up her Geriatric Fellowship at the University of Chicago. Join Dr. Chen for a frank discussion on what it takes to succeed in med school and learn how OUM’s innovative program suits non-traditional students.
