Biology To Healthcare? My Journey
By Patrick Ensmenger
Biology To Healthcare? My JourneyAug 22, 2021
Life-Ology: Pilot
Introducing the first-ever episode of Life-Ology presented by My Biology Experience. This podcast features Shannon Shea and My Biology Experience's founder, Patrick Ensmenger. This podcast is a relaxed Biology podcast meant to talk about real college experiences while having a theme in Biology and Healthcare. Both Shannon and Patrick are Juniors at Arcadia University and are perusing a professional career in medicine. Their goal is to accept entrance into a Physician Assistant program.
This episode is meant to be a trial of this podcast. Audio of the microphones was lost so, audio of the camera was used. In the future, we plan to have a more organized and in-depth conversation.
