    In this episode of the UMich Med Mosaic podcast, M1 host Mackenzie Kay chats with a trio of incredible M4 students, Julian Neshewat, Charlotte Jackson and Gabriela Ashenafi, just days before their medical school commencement ceremony. The conversation explores their paths and experiences at the University of Michigan Medical School with a particular focus on choosing a specialty. Gabriela talks about her journey to OBGYN, driven by her personal and family background. Julian shares the story of his late switch from a focus on Surgery to Radiology, sparked by his year off pursuing an MBA.
