Meet Vickie, a third-year medical student at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine. Growing up on Chicago's south side and attending Chicago Public Schools, Vickie knew she wanted to be a doctor from a young age but faced academic struggles and multiple setbacks along her journey. Despite these challenges, including sitting for the MCAT five times and completing several post-baccalaureate programs, Vickie persevered.
Her story highlights the importance of resilience, community support, and self-advocacy in overcoming obstacles to achieve one's dreams. Vickie also discusses the significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in medicine, debunking myths about affirmative action and stressing the value of representation and understanding in healthcare. Her journey is a testament to not letting failures define one's path but rather using them as stepping stones towards achieving bigger goals.
