Episode 140: A Student's Perspective on the BS-MD Program at the University of Maryland
Sunday, 19 July, 2026

In our last episode, we introduced you to the new BS-MD program at the University of Maryland, in which a cohort of premed students at UMCP can continue to medical school at UMB as part of an integrated program with dedicated leadership and mentorship. In this episode, we're introducing you to one of the students in the very first cohort of this combined program: Nane Manukyan, a rising junior at UMCP. We learn about her journey, what drew her to this program, what she's most excited about in the future, and words of wisdom for any students considering this pathway.
