Dermatologist by day, fashion CEO by night, drinking six cups of chai a day through it all- we bring you Dr. Erum Ilyas!
This weekâs episode with Dr Ilyas we go deep into the âfabric of realityâ of the field of Dermatology. From how the fieldâs bread and butter has changed over time, to topics as niche as the pros and cons of telemedicine within the field, weâre serious when we say we go through it all.
More than that though, Dr Ilyas recounts how she started her clothing line @ambernoonstyle , where she weaves together medical expertise with a passion for textiles to create stylish versatility while being sun aware. Putting together medicine and fashion makes for a whole mix and match of topics discussed in between like fashion sustainability, sun protective clothing, and patient education.
We can not thank Dr Ilyas enough for her time and we are genuinely excited to bring this episode to you all! Tune in this Friday morning to hear all about how the business aspect of clinical practice did (or didnât) carry over to the infrastructure of a clothing line for Dr Ilyas!!

An injury ridden tenure as a student basketballer first forced Dr. Gianakos to find the bright side to a sticky situation. Since then, she hasnât stopped turning negatives into positives. Whether it was serving as research chief at her residency program, co-founding SpeakUpOrtho, or helping shape In-Office Needle Arthroscopy early in its lifetime, Dr. Gianakos has found a way to enrich any space sheâs a part of.
Weâve recently been interviewing more and more medical students in the middle of research years. In our opinion, this episode puts many of our prior episodes on research years into perspective. As someone who took her own research year in med school and now guides medical students in her capacity as a faculty member, Dr. Gianakos is in a great position to speak on making the most of research experiences. In our interview she details the simple, clear, and urgent steps one should take at the beginning and end of any research project.
Whether youâre wondering if youâre cut out for a field, youâve recently been doubting yourself, or you want to learn how to turn around setbacks, this episode is for you. Dr Gianakosâ words are distinctly motivational and weâre so so thankful to her for spending her time with us. In doing so, she helped us record what may just be the extremely informative pick me up you need this weekend.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chaiwiththepremedguys/support
From a first gen college student studying English at Binghamton, to an ambassador of osteopathic medicine seeing a full schedule of patients at his gastroenterology practice while managing his podcast. The story of Dr Storchâs in between belongs in a book. The highlights of his early days include deciding to be a doctor after watching an EMT friend in action, basing his med school list off of a book he found on a shelf, and writing a poem as his personal statement, just to name a few. If thatâs not a must listen storyâŚ. I donât know what is
We were really just trying to match the name of this episode to Dr Storchâs podcast title. Ironically though, âThere is No Tryâ fits the theme of the anecdotal lessons Dr Storch shares with us. Going far beyond board scores and research, he shares with us behind the scenes details and tribulations of his journey from residency to his gastroenterology fellowship. Tune in this Friday morning to hear Dr Storch highlight some of the less talked about challenges of completing oneâs medical training. -

Why should you listen to this episode? Weâll let Mike do the talking ââŚ. Any premed advice youâve paid for, I want to make resources so good and make them free so that our free stuff is better than everyone elseâs paid stuff. Thatâs my benchmark for releasing materials into the worldâŚâ.
In this episode we go through ALL of these materials, in so much detail. Michaelâs resources are invaluable to every premed out there. If youâre not at least using what heâs put out there for free, youâre doing yourself a disservice. So take your first step, by tuning in to this episode

Joining us this week is Shaun Anderson- part acrobat, part Youtuber, part medical student from Nevada, Las Vegas! This oneâs for all the premeds that give up their nonmedical hobbies to spend more time on classes and activities that will make them âappealingâ to med schools. Sayeed has been there, Iâve been there, we hope after listening to this episode you wonât get stuck there. Donât ditch your idea for a cooking social media page just because youâre premed. Donât ditch your love for painting just because youâre premed. Donât drop out of your awesome dance team just because youâre premed.
Regardless of whether theyâre medically related, your passions are what you should be spending your time on. More so than working some job in a hospital that you find boring because some reddit forum said you need 1000+ hours of clinical experience to get into med school. Paying less heed to these standards set for premeds makes you stand out more, makes you more successful as a student, and most importantly makes this a happier part of your life. Testament to this is Shaunâs experience devoting himself fully to acrobatics as a college student. And itâs that devotion, rather than any of the usual accolades premeds chase, that got him into med school. Join us for a continuation of this conversation and discussion on topics such as switching from Pre-PT to Pre-Med, being an efficient student researcher, and having a well-rounded life in med school.
