In this episode, we talk with Lauren and Christopher Guirguis, a recently matched dermatology couple. Lauren and Christopher graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine this May and successfully couples matched into dermatology at Geisinger Dermatology, with transitional/preliminary years also at Geisinger. Listen in as they share their individual paths to dermatology, what it was like applying as a couple, and the lessons they learned while navigating the Match together. We also learn more about their work with the nonprofit Dermatology Resources for Marginalized Groups (DRM) and their passion for service. We hope you enjoy!
