Welcome to Med Leena, a channel for all things healthcare and medical school related. I'm a current med student in the U.S. and through this channel, I share my unique perspective on navigating the world of healthcare. Expect a mix of knowledge, personal experience, and fun. I'll be your big sis in med school, helping you laugh, learn and thrive! Join me on this journey whether you're pre-med, med student or just interested in healthcare.
I've watched many videos about med school app and yours are the best ones with details that pre-med students look for. Thanks and wish the best for your medical career.
Hello. What is the timeline for this program? For example... How long after you are accepted into the program, does it take for you to get a teaching job? When does your education/training to be a teacher start? What basically concerns me is the out of pocket expenses relative to when i start to get paid to teach. Do i incur those expenses before i start teaching? What's the average length of time between getting accepted and starting to work?
What was your experience like doing high school special education and how did it differ from your fellow corps members who were also special education assignments vs. general education or other subject placements?
Thank you. I am worried about the test. I move to my region in less than a month. I did not pass my Math Praxis. I have three more test to take before I move. This is what I wish I knew before I signed up.
Mistake 4 is why I'm pushing my test a month. I'm going to try to get through the AAMC and UWorld and then do the 4 practice exams. None of my practice exams are where I want them to be after taking 3 of them. Being realistic keeps your emotions in control. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I'm the author of EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL please talk about the out of control OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING for k-12 teachers that's why we have teacher shortages
@@EMVelez sure. I watched the video and I wish there was more discussion about how an experienced teacher in one state can't simply go teach in another state without a bunch of redundant OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING. I don't want to hear anymore crying from districts about teacher shortages. They did this to themselves. A Harvard mathematics professor would not be able to teach high school math without a bunch of red tape. For what teaching pays a college degree in anything and a cleared criminal background check should be plenty. No more!
Oh no! I'm picking because I'm also working full time but starting to study in January and my test date is April 12th. How can I readjust the schedule?
I was excepted in medical school at age of 11 year old I was sooooooo young to be in med school I was too young at age of of 12 year old I started my first year of medical school at Stanford school of medicine then I moved to Harvard medical school I graduated so many degree I am about to finish my summer semester 13 year old I am attending Kennesaw State University as well I started since I was only 11 in fifth grade I though I was gonna die I was so excited until today I was soooooooooooooooooooooo excited exception in med school
I love your first tip regarding self care. I spoke w a doctor working in NYC during the pandemic and she told me that making time for therapy is something she would recommend any doctor build into their schedule, regardless of how busy they are. I admire your courage and openness to share this w the RU-vid community 🫶🏽 it helps break stigmas, which is so important.
I so much agree to what you said in the video. Thank you so much for nice suggestions for pre-meds and med students struggling with emotional discomfort. So glad to hear you now feeling better! Hope your second year in med school goes well. You got this:)
Long time no hear Leena. Glad to hear you are feeling better and doing great things. You will make a great doctor. Believe in yourself and continue to provide inspiration to others.
There was not a pre-med route/ major you had to apply to. Pre-med is a series of courses you have to complete to apply to medical school. There will be advisors to help you out when selecting courses for each semester.
This video was so helpful! I was wondering, what kind of flashcards did you make for the "harder" science subjects like biochem/ochem? Did your flashcards consist of concepts and definitions or sample problems to work through?
I am considering applying forTFA, but one of the major setbacks that life has dealt out to me was a dead end job right after I got my B.A. in 2014. I have always had my goals of eventually getting my career in teaching, it unfortunately I has to support my family before even continuing my studies. Now I have taken back the reins to my life and have decided to do it. One of the questions I have is that I really don’t have any experience from 2012-2021. I worked in a family restaurant, so all really have is customer service. Fortunately I was a student teacher in my college years, though that was years ago. My question is really based on my time gap that is missing. Hop fully you can give me some insight. Ruben
Hi Ruben. Thanks for sharing your experience. If your goal is teaching, definitely go for it and apply. The time gap does not matter as much as your passion to teach. I would say though that there may be other routes in becoming a more prepared teacher such as a grad school program you could consider too!
