Victor Escobedo - Bilingual in Medicine and Insight into Post Bacs (#006)

Hey there friends! Nick here. I want to thank you for tuning into
another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure of
sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical
professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of
mentors from the folks that have come before you. I'm super
excited to have one of greatest friends on the show today Victor
Escobedo. V-I-C-T-O-R SPACE E-S-C-O-B-E-D-O. Victor graduate in
2019 from UCSD with a degree in Human Biology and has just
finished a post baccalaureate at UCSD. Victor is a meme and food
aficionado and even has a food Instagram called thiccomode eats
where him and his girlfriend cook up and find SD's best food.


Victor is currently applying to medical school and when he's not
working on drafting primary/secondaries he is teaching medical
Spanish to UCSD med students and working at a free clinic.


Victor's initial path to medicine started interpreting and from
there he took on larger roles like serving as Clinic Director for
the Flying Samaritans UCSD chapter (Victor inspired me to join
the Flying Samaritans chapter at UCLA) and also incredible
research for Dr. Adler's cardiology lab where he is on the path
to cure Danon Disease and has numerous presentations and recently
presented at the International Society of Heart & Lung
Transplantation Conference in Orlando, FL. On top of all that
Victor was a part of 1st place dance teams and founded his own
dance team at UCSD.


You can find Victor if you want to say hello, ask a question or
challenge to him a cooking contest or dance-off at

It's a pleasure to have you here Victor, welcome to the show.
