About this listen

In this episode of How to Be WiSE, host Shubneet sits down with Angelique Matias, a first-year medical student at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

Angelique shares how her early experiences in healthcare sparked her interest in medicine, how volunteering and research shaped her journey, and what ultimately confirmed that this path was right for her. Together, we discuss:

  • Discovering your “why” for medicine

  • MCAT preparation strategies and common misconceptions

  • Navigating the Canadian medical school application process

  • What surprised her most about starting med school

  • Staying balanced and grounded in a high-pressure field

  • What she wishes she could tell her pre-med self

If you’re considering medicine, feeling unsure about your next steps, or simply curious about what medical school is really like, this episode offers honest and first-hand insight and practical advice from someone who’s recently been through it.

Thanks for tuning in, and as always, stay WiSE ✨
