I started this blog with the goal of being anonymous. As I continue to blog, I see no fun in that. Plus, having posted my workout video and my fitness instagram, that anonymity is kaput – gone. So I’m formally taking off the veil.

Here’s the introduction that never happened.

The name is Derin. I’m passionate about many things. I love to write and I would love this blog to motivate and uplift other individuals planning on going to med school. I want to give, just as others have given to me, and teach just as others have taught me.

I look forward to sharing more of my experiences and my journey to and through med school.

Come join my fun. Ciao!
