Devin closes out Season 3 by interviewing four seniors scheduled to graduate next week: Matthew Bunn, Varad Gurude, Carly Rauch, and Sara Meehan.

In our final episode, we wanted to offer advice to rising seniors to help get the most out of their last year as an undergraduate. The wisdom our guests today shared with us includes:

1. Surface-level networking vs. building lasting professional relationships.
2. The crossroads between biomedical engineering and public health awareness.
3. Startup advice for students.
4. How to know when to take an opportunity.
5. The connection between dentistry and biomedical engineering.
6. Embracing something you know is going to challenge you.

Host Devin Hubbard catches up with Drew Caddell, an alumnus of the Joint Department and a current first-year student of UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Medicine.

For biomedical engineering students who are considering medical school, Drew covers how the mindset between the two academic programs is similar, gives advice on what to expect when applying to school as a BME, and shares his experience with deciding where to apply. Drew also explained the benefits of taking a gap year between his undergraduate degree and applying for medical school.

Today we sat down with David Probst, Ph.D. student in Joint BME, to talk about his previous research and development work with biosensors at Medtronic and his current experience as a Ph.D. student at UNC.

David and host Devin Hubbard cover the relationship between business development and R&D, how to know if an advanced degree program is right for you, and the skills that you can acquire in industry and academia to support you in your biomedical engineering career.
