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.
DAVID RICE, TODAY’S PODCAST GUEST
Dave Rice is a 32-year veteran of financial aid. From birth he dreamed of working in financial aid – NOT! Like all financial aid professionals, he has a story of how he ended up here – ask him some time. He has served on numerous financial aid task groups, committees, and boards; he is a past president of MASFAP – our state financial aid association and is a published author. He has been married to his wife, Angie for 35-years. They have 3 kids – all 3 college grads. Having kids in college changes the perspective of paying for college even for the financial aid professional. Dave believes in helping students and families understand how to pay for a degree and not just a semester. Here’s to the small role we all play in the huge process of helping students and families navigate the dream of attaining a college education.
