ABOUT THE SURVIVING & THRIVING IN RESIDENCY PODCAST
This ongoing series, hosted by PracticeLink Director of Graduate Medical Education (GME) Outreach Director Charley Lowry, focuses on the journey to become a physician — from med school through residency and fellowship. These episodes, released weekly, consist of Charley leading a thoughtful discussion with healthcare professionals who share tips and insightful information from their own medical journey to inform and provide priceless guidance for the next generation of prospective healers. Medical students, residents and fellows can all benefit from the candid conversations, which are often based on questions and topics directly supplied by those who are in the early steps of their healthcare careers.
McKENNA REDWINE, TODAY’S PODCAST GUEST
McKenna Redwine was an unconventional medical student, now turned Emergency Medicine physician at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. She grew up in Greenville, SC, but was fortunate enough to attend high school at an international school in the Middle East. Upon returning to the states, McKenna attended Furman University where she majored in Neuroscience and Philosophy while following the pre-med track. She then received her M.S. In Biomedical Sciences from Regis University in Denver, CO before returning to South Carolina to attend MUSC for medical school. She has a seven-year-old daughter who shares her love for outdoor adventures, charcuterie boards, dystopian films, and finding excuses to throw themed parties as often as possible.
