Description

Dr. Ron Ortizo is a gastroenterologist who originally didn't plan on becoming a doctor. His career started as a high school science teacher. Education fueled his passion and his career path seemed pretty clear. But then things changed and he started to consider the idea of becoming a doctor.

On today's episode: 

• How (and why) he changed his path from becoming a high school teacher to a doctor.
• How he felt being years "behind" his medical school classmates. 
• We also dive deep into his biggest struggle: residency. The day-to-day grind that pushes you in ways you can't imagine + the politics...
• The challenges of intern year and how he "climbed" out of a dark tunnel that he didn't realize he was in.
