Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittani Remé.
Hi Brittani, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I planted the seed for myself to pursue a career in medicine when I was younger and would often go to work with my mom, a nurse. In college, I decided to become the first doctor in my family and major in biological sciences. Being a bio major was hard. After college, I took time to get medical experience, travel, and improve my medical school application. During that time, I worked as a medical scribe in the emergency department and as a medical assistant. These experiences fueled my passion for medicine. I applied to a one-year master’s program in biomedical sciences to strengthen my application and retake the MCAT. I was finally accepted into medical school and one step closer to achieving my dreams.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey to where I’m at has been FAR from smooth. Going into college, I thought I would graduate and go straight to medical school because that was the “norm.” But God had other plans for me. I applied during my senior year of undergrad and was rejected from every school. The MCAT was my biggest hurdle at the time, and I was struggling to get a score that I felt was competitive enough. I took it multiple times before deciding that my plan wasn’t working and some drastic things needed to take my application and score to the next level, which is how I decided to do a one-year master’s program. This program not only allowed me to increase my GPA but also gave me a chance to become a better student with improved study habits. I believe the tools that I was equipped with during that program led to my success in dominating the MCAT and matriculating into medical school the last time around.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m currently in my third year of medical school. I’m most proud of never giving up on my dreams. I think what sets me apart is my grit. There have been countless moments that could have been enough for me to quit. What could have made others quit further fuels me to keep fighting!
What characteristic of yours would you give the most credit if you had to?
Next to grit, I believe being adaptable also contributes to my success. My family sometimes jokes around by calling me a chameleon because of my ability to adapt no matter the situation I’m thrown in.
