How It Works

Three Steps to Finding Your Path

We make it simple for students to explore, learn from real professionals, and take meaningful next steps in their healthcare journey — all completely free.

Each pathway includes an overview of the role, where professionals work, typical career trajectories, and what skills and training are involved. Find what resonates with who you are and what you want to do in the world.

2

Watch Real Interviews

Watch candid, unscripted video interviews with professionals across every field in healthcare. No PR spin, no recruitment pitches — just real people sharing what their day-to-day actually looks like, the challenges they face, the moments that make it worth it, and the advice they genuinely wish they'd had when they were in your shoes. Filter by specialty, career stage, or background to find the voices most relevant to your path.

Meet the Founder

The Person Behind the Mission

Anya Garg, Founder of White Coat & Beyond

Anya Garg

Founder
📸 ▶ 🎙️

Anya founded White Coat & Beyond out of a deeply personal conviction — that every student passionate about healthcare deserves honest, real-world guidance about the full breadth of careers available to them, not just the ones they already know about.

Growing up, Anya watched brilliant, driven peers walk away from healthcare because they never knew the options that existed beyond the doctor's office. That experience became the spark for everything White Coat & Beyond has grown into — a free, nationwide platform connecting students with the authentic stories of professionals across every corner of the medical world.

Anya leads the organization's vision, content strategy, and community partnerships with a relentless commitment to equity and access. Her belief is simple: geography, background, and income should never determine a student's ability to dream big about their future in healthcare.

Student Stories

What Students Are Saying

From pre-med students discovering public health to biology majors finding their calling in HealthTech — real reactions from the students we serve.

I had absolutely no idea public health was even an option until I stumbled onto White Coat & Beyond. The CDC epidemiology interview completely changed my entire career trajectory. I'm now applying to MPH programs and I have never felt more aligned with what I'm meant to do.

👩🏽
Sara D

As a first-generation college student, I didn't have anyone in my family to guide me through healthcare careers. White Coat & Beyond gave me real access to professionals I would never have encountered otherwise. The content is honest, accessible, and it has made me feel like these doors are open for me too.

👦🏻
Pranavi S

I was completely set on becoming a surgeon. Then I watched the HealthTech interview series and everything shifted. I'm now pursuing biomedical engineering — combining medicine with technology in a way I hadn't even imagined was possible. This platform opened my eyes to a world I didn't know existed.

👩🏾
Isha G

The mental health interview series is so incredibly important. I had genuinely been wrestling with whether psychiatry was "real medicine" — after watching Dr. Adebayo's conversation, I knew without a shadow of doubt that it was the path for me. Thank you for giving every specialty the space and dignity it deserves.

🧑🏻
Rehaan M

White Coat & Beyond is the exact resource I wish had existed when I was a pre-med student trying to figure out my path. Now I share it with every single student I mentor. The breadth of careers covered and the authenticity of the interviews is genuinely unlike anything else out there. It's become my go-to recommendation.

👩🏿‍⚕️
Faith L

I was burning out on the traditional pre-med track and seriously considering leaving healthcare altogether. The health administration interviews showed me there's a profound and meaningful role for leaders in medicine. I'm now pursuing an MHA degree and have never felt more purposeful about my future in healthcare.
