How I Became the President Part 1 – Dr. Wayne J. Riley

Wow! I had the distinct pleasure of chatting with one of the most renowned and decorated doctors out there. Even with all those degrees, he is one of the most humble doctors you’ll meet. The one and only, Dr. Wayne J. Riley; 17th President of SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University joins us on this week’s episode. He takes us on a journey from childhood in New Orleans to his current role as president. We learn about struggles he had as a premedical student and unique obstacles he still faces to this day. He has a passion for his students y’all and he drops serious gems for students, doctors and parents alike.
