In Episode 126, we welcome Shane K. to discuss the recent invasion and war in Ukraine, and how both military personnel and civilians have been impacted by the need to serve their country in an intense environment of combat. Shane provides his own thoughts on the reasons for war and the circumstances that Ukrainian citizens have had to deal with over the past month of invasion and bombardment. He also discusses his own induction and career in the military and Navy Seals, and how it impacted him both personally and professionally. Now that he is back in the civilian world, Shane provides us with the new challenges and goals he faces as a medical practitioner who has been heavily influenced and motivated by his previous involvement in the military.

Shane K. is a medical student at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Shane found his calling to become a physician as a combat medic while forward deployed to Afghanistan, working in a forward surgical team and helping save patients on the battlefield. Shane completed his BS in Health Science magna cum laude from Campbell University in 2019, is involved in various leadership positions as a medical student, and is passionate about helping highly-qualified veterans transition into the medical field. Shane is intimately familiar with the medical school application process and has helped numerous veterans successfully matriculate and transition into medical school.
