Never too late. Currently in a MSMS program to help my GPA and get ready for the rigors of med school. Will apply this summer and take the mcat in June. Turning 30 in june! You got this!
@@jamesferdinand5936 studying anatomy requires the ability to recall a lot of things from a lot of body systems along with the function of everything you study, so having a trained memory that allows you to spend less time "learning" how to memorize will save you a lot of time. An example in anatomy is remembering every landmark, surface, and innervation in the mandible.
@@ays.939 😂😂 I never really sat to watch Grey's anatomy thou ,watched clips and scenes here and there but never watched the movie back to back maybe I will have to see what all the fuss is about 🤭🤭
As a 1st year medical student who felt like he got hit by a train by the amount of work you need to put in, I have some advice for future students 1.Learn, learn, learn - read as much as you can, follow this channel's methods for learning, they helped me immensely; read the course in the same day that it has been presented in class, and always go back to check your knowledge and what you forgot, NO EXCUSES, this will make your life waaaaay easier; 2.Make a plan - doesn't have to be complicated, just some rules to follow; consistent sleep/waking up hours, consistent reading/learning hours, consistent eating hours, and consistent working out/socializing hours(very important); 3.Workout - mens sana in corpore sano; do a bit of moving everyday, doesn't have to be intense necessarily, just make sure to do it everyday to keep your body as prepared as your mind; 4.Sleep - don't do those stupid all nighters, go to bed before 12:30 am and sleep at least 7 hours; this will elevate your learning and mental health game by a lot; 5.Eat healthy and regularly - pretty self explanatory, no overindulgence, no McDonald's or KFC or whatever, no sugary sodas, ONLY water, plenty of veggies and quality fats(look up videos for healthy diet on a budget); 6.Luck favors the prepared - the more prepared you are for an exam, the higher the chances of you being lucky enough to get the questions that you know the answer to; 7.Love to learn and love medicine - there's no way around it, if you don't love any of these two, then medicine is probably not for you;
ER Doctor here ! Congratulations to everyone ! Is a long and difficult road, HOWEVER, enjoy the process, there is nothing more you could be doing right now. Dont take it for granted, dont forget what it took to make it this far. Be grateful !
Hey, couldn't help but perk up when you said an ER doctor I wanna be an ER doctor but I'm afraid I get anxious when I have to make decisions with very little information. I wanted to ask how do you make decisions so quick?
@@srishtipillai3396 Hey ! You should see my videos ! If you have not, BUT that is a great question and I may even make a video about that ! To be honest over time you develop a picture of how a specific condition presents and by memory you know what needs to be done ! So pt Hypertension, Acute shortness of breath, hypoxia, pitting edema in the lower extremities, ect. automatically you have a differential and then you start immediate treatment. BiPAP, NItroglycerin, Lasix, etc. same goes with DKA pt/s, same goes for septic elderly pts. etc.
Just finished first year here. Haven't been through 2nd-4th, but I personally think getting into medical school was way harder than actually being in med school. Sure you have to study everyday, but you don't have the existential angst of thinking you might not be a doctor and have wasted 4 years of undergrad + a year of master's. Anecdotally, I'm not too worried about STEP 1 because it's pass fail for us and if you just keep up with Anking cards you'll know most everything you need before dedicated time.
i thought that medical is a field for me but thank u for saving my life, u taught me that i should choose a career that i love and like .. i cant thank u enough for it 🥺💕
Great video! I’d love it if you would do a “so you want to be” pediatrician/ pediatric surgeon video since it is a specialty I am highly interested in. I watch every video and love every second of it!
Can you please do a video of "so you want to be a Infectious Disease Doctor," I'd really like to see your analysis on that type of subspecialty. I also want to know the schedules of those type of doctors as well, in both inpatient and outpatient setting... please
I am a coward, I always choose paths that are easy, because I am afraid to fail, I really want to become a doctor but I don't have confidence in myself, I am afraid that I might not pass or I might not be able to handle the pressure of med school, that's why I am so hesitant, I even made a choice for myself to add dental school as another path since it is much easier yet I still can't remove the thought of entering med school out of my mind, I dont know what to do, I am afraid of failure, I am afraid that I might dissapoint everybody and myself, recently I gave up on my dream of becoming a professional basketball player because pursuing it would be a Gamble, I am always afraid of choices that can lead to failure, I only have a few years left before graduating highschool and I still don't have the balls to decide what my future should look like
Hey bud, its okay, college will be amazing for you. Many of my friends did not know what they wanted to do for a while - heck i was convinced i only wanted to go to grad school as a freshman (i am matriculating into med school in a month). Youre still very young and its totally normal to be scared of failure especially when you have a lot of expectations on you from family and friends. But failure is totally normal, if you get the chance, ask around abt the paths people took in order to become a doctor/prof/medical professional. You will be surprised to hear that often the people you most admire for their intelligence and ability are also some whose paths have been difficult and often filled with failures. Its okay to fail, in fact med schools love to hear about failures and your ability to overcome them - it took me a while to accept failure as well but i believe that these experiences inevitably make you into a better person on the other side. Best of luck future doc!
Got accepted in November and the expenses are already piling up.... currently studying anatomy so I don't fail first semester. The hard part is never over, it seems
Please make a video on value of Indian Mbbs in canada vs Usa and what extra things we hv to do when we (indians) go to Usa or Canada just after completing Indian mbbs
Characteristics to Help You Succeed in Medical School👇 Altruism. Altruism is defined as the unselfish regard for the well-being of others and is essential to engendering trust. Compassion and Empathy. Accountability and Responsibility. Excellence and Scholarship. Duty and Service. Social Responsibility. Honor and Integrity. Respect.
Boy you have alot to learn as every aspiring doctor shares and supports that mantra but then the system will corrupt you and it will be all about the money and pressure from big pharma to push their drugs and then ultimately the patients won't be adequately served because of either government and not enough doctors which will result in doctors being overloaded and patients end up being the big losers. I live in Canada in doctors here make sure they take care of themselves financially. In Canada there is a tendency for doctors to become complacent and apathetic because they are being compensated not by the individual or the individual's private insurance but rather by a large system and as a result the patients just become numbers in a cog and not human beings,this results in people receiving less than adequate care.
HEHEHEHEHE, I placed into a Dutch medicine bachelor into the top 6th percentile. All thanks to your study advice and tips on using ankis. I am not particularly intelligent and have not been in the education system for half a decade, but I am getting my Colloquium Doctum and I got placed in the top percentile of 2 selection exams. Bless you my dude.
I've been following Med School Insiders for over a year, and was saving this video for when I got my acceptance letter Words can't describe how happy I am to finally click on this video
Should someone who is in line to become an Invasive Cardiologist do a surgical residency? I mean, they are required to do angioplasty and stenting. Also, is it only for Interventional Cardiologists that perform catheterization, not Invasives? That would mean Interventionals would be busier than their counterpart because hospitals usually have cases that require that?
In Med school, symbolism alert, if you have an 8 foot ditch to jump over, you really don’t have to jump 10 feet, in order to get to the other side. If you’re married, think of your wife and kids. Have a life with them during, as well as after, med school, or you may not have a wife and kids afterwards.
I wanted to be a neurosurgeon or anesthesiologist but instead of doing one I was wondering if I can be a anesthesiologist but specialize in neuro? Idk if that’s a thing I’m a junior in highschool.
So real question here. I really wanna be a doctor and I’m in highschool. I have pretty good grades (mostly 80s to 90s and a few 70s) so far but My grades have dropped slightly to a more 70s 60s range and I’m in the 11th grade. I’m super worried and I’m trying harder because I don’t want to jeopardize my chances of being a doctor because I got a bit lazy in highschool. I really wanna know, Should I be worried?
Med school is competitive and i have noticed that many of my peers who are now in med school were used to excelling from a young age. However that does not mean you cant get into med school! None of your high school grades have any real effect on med school applications. You still have plenty of time to turn things around - i dont know where you are located but at least in america, you do undergrad and then med school. So essentially you start on a completely new slate once you are an undergraduate - no need to worry, just make sure you are ready to put in that work once you start your premed classes as a freshman in college! Best of luck future doc :)
Reject the offer. Go to nursing school and become a nurse practitioner. Alternatively go to PA School and become a physician assistant. The future of medicine is not with Physicians in this country.
