My Story to Med School - Advice to Premed Students - Why YOU Can Do it Too [Motivation] 

"If you feel like giving up, just remember how good you'd look in a white coat"

Reason why people drop out of med school: "their desire to do medicine is less than their desire to do other things" i wrote that in my phone. im going to write it on paper and put it on my wall. My biggest time waster is Netflix. Next time I'll ask myself if I'd rather be a doctor or would I rather watch The Office again. Thank you!

I just bombed my chemistry exam after studying for hours.. im pretty sure no one is less suited than me to go into medicine. Don't feel unmotivated. Just keep working past your failures.

this really motivated me to go studying ! thank you dude

I am a medical student ,and sometimes I feel down,and I feel burned-out. I even had sleepless nights ,when I just stayed up late ,thinking about what would I be doing ,what would be suitable for me,besides med school,and I did not come up with a firm answer,I really believe that some of us become addicted to it ,and simply cannot back down ... there are a lot of difficulties that we ,future doctors have to face in order to reach our goals,especially in my country,but I won't let it stop me . My key to success is reading as much as I can, because the amount of information given is beyond any human's capabilities ,and there are always new therapies,new viruses,new diseases that need to be discovered,studied carefully and applied efficiently to make a better world....thank you for this motivational video,it cheered up my day,and motivated me to keep a positive attitude ,and continue on with it!

Thank you so much for this. I'm pre-med and my first semester is about to come to an end but it has literally been so terrible. But by watching this I realized that all of the mistakes I made were well worth it because I learned and now I know how to get through this. I am so glad I feel more confident now and next semester should be a breeze.

I’m an extreme procrastinator, but these videos have really motivated me to really give it my all as an incoming freshman!

I teared a little, I'm currently in my first year of med school (finishing) and it's been really hard mentally, emotionally and physically. The hardest part is the consistency and the discipline for me and also I struggle with ADHD so it is a double struggle 😔

I am currently an EMT.... I know I want to help others and save lives, this video really confirmed my desire to be a doctor. Thank you very much!

You might be the reason that one day I'll become a doctor xD

Congrats! I hope you find being an MD rewarding!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Hearing about people who were able to overcome (or learn to deal with) their struggles in order to achieve success assures me that I can do the same if I work hard enough. Thank you!

This was so inspirational and factually true. Thank you so much!

This channel is so good! Keep up the good work!!!! I want to go to Law School but still your videos inspired me tremendously. Subscribed!

I've been watching medical videos all day and you have the best voice,doesn't make me sleep nor bored just hyper with alot of character. SUBSCRIBED.

Thank you for making this. It really helped me with my challenges I’m facing right now and thinking positively.

great video this is the third video I've watched and you really have inspired me to do great in school all my family members are amazing at school and are in one of the most challenging work forces and places and I had thought I couldn't be as great of successful as them (going to different countries, speaking to new people, doing new things and more) but after this I'm motivated on working hard and become someone I'm proud to say is me so I'd like to thank you and I hope you continue this work because you already have inspired me and 100's of others

Finally! A video for me. I'm a sophomore in high school and I've always dreamed of gaining my MD. I've subscribed to many channels pertaining to courses and Pre Med students. But none of them are like your channel. You get right to the point but you also give motivation and great tips. Thank you for making these types videos.

Really resonated with this whole video. I thank the universe for the challenges. Seems like challenges let us discover more of who we truly are; and responding to them is the chance to sculpt ourselves into the best version we can imagine. Life is good there in the middle.

Wow this was great! I am only a sophomore girl but this was so motivating bc every video I watch on med school discourages me from following my dreams as a doctor but this video was so encouraging thank you so much!! Will be watching this again!

Thank you, i really needed this!! Let’s go get it

taking it way back to a 2016 video to remind myself that it's hard right now but nothing I can't handle if I stay focused.... thanks Dr. Jubal!!

I can't describe how I feel about this video, IT'S THAT GOOD!

thank you so much!! I was having such a bad day thinking about med school! really, i appreciate that

Thanks for allowing me to reaffirm that I am definitely on the right path with the right attitude!! :)

You just said everything I needed to hear! Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos!!!

wow!!!! the best video I ever see OK RU-vid for Pre med students. Thank you so much. it helped me a lot...

thank you sooo much hope you'll be a good doctor and supergood person :")

Thanks for making this!

kudos to you for taking your challenges and turning them into opportunities. hearing you talk has motivated me to stop sulking about my problems and use this time leading upto what could be the most important exam in my life, wisely. thank you.

When i was in my high school , we got to know that my grandmom had cancer . Those were really bad times ... Everything was suffering, physically mentally emotionally and even financially .. even my studies and my love life . I could barely complete my notes and assignments. After watching this video a positive energy is flowing in me ...those were the hard times. That cant determine my future so looking my grades in HS i am not letting my dream to go away .i will make it happen ..and yes im gonna be a damn good doctor ...thanks for this Med school insider ..i really needed this .it feels like my story.

Soooo inspring... That's what I needed. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I'm really motivated to work hard and do productive work. Thank you so much

Wow, often times I doubt my capabilities but this really gave me hope.

Thank you so, so much! This REALLY helped me decide that I want to do medicine.

This Video Got Me MOTIVATED Thank You

Thank you. I love sciences and am fascinated by medicine.....but I do feel burned out sometimes. I lay in bed at night thinking about my future and if all the work will be worth it or if I would even be able to get into med school .....videos like this are very helpful, from time to time and so Thankyou :)

thank you so much. you are so inspiring! im definitly going to be watching this video when i am going through challenging times.

Thank you , i really needed to watch this 👌🏽

Thank you so much! This was really motivating! The question "How bad do you want it?" Really moved me! ❤️

Wow love your video! You really motivated me, been in high school trying to get everything done, and good grades on the top is not that hard. Can't wait to become an orthopedic surgeon!👩‍⚕️

I'm a senior in high school and I've been planning on going pre-med. The only problem with me, I never made the absolute best grades in high school. Do you have to have perfect grades in high school to make it through pre-med???? I'm so insecure about this. I'm definitely planning on changing my study habits. I want this more than anything. Like this is my dream. I want to help people. I LOVE medicine. I just find it so interesting. But I keep asking if I'm good enough to be able to do it all

I'm Compsci undergrad and head on to be a doctor. I love they way you motivate us! thank you for keeping doing these meaningful videos.

I love successful people like you who say I'm just a normal person who worked hard. I don't believe in intelligence it's just a matter how hard you work. Thank you

This video is one of the best things that could of happened to me thank you so much

This is so motivating! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Im feel so unmotivated, but this video just helped lifting my mood.

I can relate to you a lot in regard to your mindset. Watching this felt like my conscience talking to me, not just a video. So thank you for that. Good luck with everything, friend.

Thanks for sharing your story. Love this

I just saw this video and it really encouraged me to pursue my dreams in life. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ^_^ I am so lucky to see this kind of video. It's inspirational.

Thank you so much. I graduated from high school two months ago and I will be going to medical college within 2 weeks. This has given me motivation. Sometimes I'm too scared of medicine college because everyone keeps saying that it's so hard, so long, etc .. sometimes I think if I'm even going to do it or not? I also think whether i'll even have time to go out with friends.. which scares me too. But I will give it my all, and I know I can do it. Because this whole thing that I've chosen to make is a very big challenge .. a challenge that will last for years. and I know I will be super proud of myself if I can succeed in this challenge, and wear my white coat. Although you have to study more years than any other college, but doctors are really highly paid, especially those who have worked hard and studied many certificates. My older brother is a pharmacist, and his best friend is a doctor. His best friend hasn't graduated yet, and my brother is currently working. One thing that my brother told me is that although he is currently working, but he knows that his best friend, in only a few months, can collect money more than my brother did in all his years in his career. What he told me has given me enough motivation. Although you're going to study for so long, so hard, but eventually, you will get the results. You will be a doctor, who saves people, who is highly paid, who people look to with respect. I can't wait to do it. To look back and be proud of what I've made.

You’re awesome doc!!!! Thanks for sharing!! I can’t say I excelled in college like you did lol, but these are awesome advice to keep working on! I am definitely not the smartest or even the most efficient student, lol, but I want to work on it and be the best I can be. You’re an inspiration and thank you again!

Thank You So Much Bro! Very Inspiring

This is very inspiring! Thank you

Thanks for the encouragement! I have been watching your videos as I prepare for Vet school, which I anticipate having similar challenges as Med school :-)

I guess I shouldn't let my age be an excuse! more of a challenge and lots of motivation to prove myself wrong. just do it and make it happen! live life! like you said if you want it go get it! I've been through the worst hardships in my life and it just made me realize much more how precious but short life is! and it gave me the yearning to live my best life and succeed and go after what I want! I understand the fire right behind you. I get that because I feel it every day. this urge. this craving. thank you for your motivation!!!

Honestly, thank you so much for this and all your other videos. I'm currently a junior in high school, and I've known I wanted to go to medical school and become a physician for some time now, but I got off to such a rocky start this school year. I had surgery less than two weeks before school started, so I was still kind of healing and I couldn't carry as much books as I was used to, and unfortunately I fell behind in the first marking period. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in myself, and I was feeling very unmotivated to even try again. Just looking at my friends who are on the same path as me, and feeling down because I know of the acceptance rates of the universities I want to apply to. However, one of your videos popped up in my recommended, and I've been obsessed with it. From this video, I learned that the road to med school, and more importantly, the road to becoming a physician is never gonna without zigzags and challenges, and if I want it bad enough, I can't just give up at the first sight of an unpleasant grade or test score. Thank you so much for teaching me that I can and I will get through med school by my own work and will. Thank you so so so much, and you have an amazing, beneficial channel and website!!!

i am a med school student in the last year and i will give my residency this year ,and i agree with this video, if you want it bad enought you cand have it!

Thanks I really needed this!

i just subscribed! Thanks for the inspiration!! I am a freshman in college and this was motivation!

Struggling in med school. Thanks for the useful advice:)

i really need it this video, you made a big diference in my thoughts i was thinking about everything too much, thanks

hoping for the best on your journey in med 😊

Thank you so so so so much for this video!!

I loveeee yourrrr pagee😩❤❤❤

I'm currently in my preclinical year. I'm nervous as hell and a little scared. But I'm ready to sacrifice everything, it's been my dream as a child and I'm going to work towards it no matter how hard it is. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic video

thanks a lot , it really motivates me, i can do it too !!

This is sooo inspiring thank you 😊

You are so inspirational! All of the hardship that you have faced and we all face is a part of life and what you say about being able to get back up and try again is very right. Thank you for this videos, They always make my day and helps motivate me. :) Keep up the great work and much love from Canada!!

You're so inspirational T.T💙 i'll enter med school this year, and i really hope that i'll enter "A" school, since it's free and one of the best med schools in my country. Wish me luck!!😭

Love this!

Thanks doc this was very motivational for me👍🏼

Thank you so so much i have an exam in two days and i was feeling low but now i am motivated you are great thank you

Thank you so much I kinda started crying like halfway but I want to do it and I will do it

Thank you for this video, I failed my chem exam and I was so disappointed, I thought I have another chance but.. OK now I am going to the library and study as much as I can to succeed. Thank you once again, It helped me really

You can do the same😭😭.... You have nooo idea how much these words have encouraged me😭😭😭😩❤❤

It's funny you talked about being a damn good doctor cause during my first semester at med, they all asked us what kind of doctor we all would like to be.. and I simply wrote down "A Damn good Doctor"

I totally understand you felt during your times of struggle. I underwent hardships as well. I know this will be really personal,, but I'm ok with sharing it. I had a battle with Renal Carcinoma at the age of 24:/ but now I have a better outlook on life. And I just can't help to want go into oncology to make sure others can live their lives to the fullest!

wow man, this really spoke to me.

thank you! 💕

This is so inspiring!!!

I encountered some problems just like you. First i wanted to do constructions but a medicine proffesor conviced me to do this. I was a slouch during highschool until faculty even the first 2 years because i didn t know how to study efficiently and my time management was very very bad. That resulted in me having to repeteat the 2nd year of medicine (right now) and this the thing you said it has to happen to everybody. Now i realize how i need to study, how to manage my time, and so on.

I’m struggling in community college and am guessing I’ll have to take a post bacc after finishing undergrad but I’ll do whatever it takes to be able to wake up and practice medicine and be able to participate in altering lives for the rest of my life. I’m fighting all the odds and may not make it in the first time but I will one day be able to wear my white coat and stethoscope and use my passion for good in this world.

I really like that :) nice story

Thank you so much for this inspirational video. I'm in a part of my life where I, for lack of a better word, need to get my shit together. This encouraged me to have more faith and confidence in my abilities and reminded me to keep my priorities straight. (Oh, and Merry Christmas from Canada ^~^)

wow thank you that was really motivating please if you can make more videos its very helpful

I did poorly in high school. Like really bad. I was going through a lot and as a child I didn’t know how to cope so my grades suffered severely. So I decided to join the navy. I only expected to do 4 years and get out. I’m now at almost 6 years with 2 more left on my contract. One thing the navy has done for me is that if I truly put my mind to something I can do it. I’ve been thinking about getting into medicine and have zero college. I’ve been out of school for more than 5 years and one thing that I keep thinking about is what if I don’t do good enough in undergrad or what if I do good enough for undergrad but not for med school. Fortunately my experiences with the navy ease that thought a bit. But also this video. I think what a lot of people need to understand is that in med school you don’t need to be perfect. And this video does help to convey that a bit (at least for me)

I love this vid it's very useful

Thanks! You the best

I am not in the situation of applying medical school (I am in my early 30s, have strong interesting in medicine. However, there're other heavy family responsibilities I have to take on daily basis so my interest does not have priorities). Anyway, your video has such positive energy and strong thoughts. I am glad to see medicine filed will have excellent physicians like you to help us. I strongly agreed hardships are opportunities to build inner strength.

thank you for this.

Medical school is the most important thing that you can do to help people.

I am a performing artist but I really want to see what it's like to be a doctor it's a huge decision to make but I know I can do it and I'll give it a start. this really tells me that I'd be a better doctor without stressing myself out but work really hard to achieving my goals in life

I loved this video. I was born with mild cp, and as a result, I had two orthopedic surgeries at Shriners Hospitals for Children. My orthopedic surgeon is amazing and you can tell he is in it because he loves medicine and his patients. I now have a dream to be a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Thank you for this video!

I needed this

watching this video - get motivated - start studying - (20 seconds later) - already sleeping

Hey I was reaaaaaaallllllly hoping that you could do a video on your note taking tips. Also the perfect mix of paper and electronics. THANKS!!!

just discovered your channel and it's already been super helpful! you briefly mentioned scholarships in this video. could you possibly talk more about scholarships? i.e. finding them, applying for them, writing applications, etc.

Could you possibly give a few examples of how you studied *inefficiently* ? I think that would actually be helpful to see how you studied 'wrong' or 'ineffectively' and how you realized there was a better way to manage your studying time. Thanks!
