Nauman Shahid is currently a 33-year-old male who knows that the right things came together for his survival. Nauman’s parents were told that tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) had no cure in Pakistan in 1987 and that any chance of survival would be in either the USA, India or Australia. He came to the USA for treatment and repair of his TOF. Growing up he has had to face his share of challenges, multiple surgeries. But all this created a burning desire for him to pursue a degree in medicine. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, and a Masters in Public Health (Health Policy) and is currently a first-year medical student. In 2017 he had his second open-heart surgery to replace his pulmonary valve which was followed by multiple complications while in medical school. He uses his story as a means to uplift others and give hope as he feels it is his duty to inspire and lead by example. He believes he has found a new home in the congenital heart defect community thanks to his experience.

In this episode, we'll learn more about Nauman, why he decided to study medicine, how his knowledge has helped him deal with unexpected situations, and what he hopes for his future.
