Doing More: Leadership, Medicine & Building Impact Beyond the Bedside

In this episode of MNEMOS: Med School & Beyond, we sit down with Princess Yaa Benson, medical student, social entrepreneur, and founder who is redefining what it means to be a healthcare professional in training.

She dives into leadership, entrepreneurship, research, and the importance of starting early despite doubt, burnout, and limited support.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that medicine goes beyond the bedside and that your impact can start now.
