27 - "Is Post-Bac Right for You?" with Ms. Anderson and Mr. Rainey

---

Ms. Shirley Anderson and Mr. Doyen Rainey are advisors at The UT Dallas Health Professions Office. They join us to talk about how applicants can decide if post-bac coursework is a viable option, and how life experiences come into play when applying to professional school.

They mention several resources and book recommendations for applicants. Here they are:

• Atul Gawande, Complications - surgery
• Oliver Sachs, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - neuroscience
• Pamela Grimm, Just Here Trying to Save a Few Lives – ER
• Atul Gawande, The Checklist Manifesto – healthcare systems and patient safety
• Atul Gawande, Being Mortal – medical compassion and end-of-life care
