Hey, thanks so much for these additional helpful bookmarks!!
@@AzfarBasuniaMD
Thank you so much
I have an important question
If i attend medical school for 2 years without failing any class and without any disciplinary actions then decided by my own to change my school( to attend a better school which is more research and usmle oriented)and moved to a new school without transferring any credentials to the new school.. so I started medical school from the scratch .. do i need to add the old medical school in eras application ? As I didn’t transfer any credentials from the old school to get my final diploma
Thank you very much for your effort!
You're very welcome! Best of luck in your endeavors.
I am actually stunned in seeing the mention of video games in your "hobby" section. Am personally a hardcore gamer and have seen Reddit comments that including video games as hobbies may not be looked at favorably. Instead, I mentioned something that's more generic like Bowling, etc..
An interviewer that asked me about my hobby section realized that I have not much interest in bowling. In retrospect, I regret not mentioning about video games. Or movies..Duhh.
Yup, times have changed and the stigma against video games have largely disappeared (at least in radiology). I encountered many chief residents or junior faculty/APDs who were into video games. My hobbies served as excellent talking points during interviews, and its definitely important to stay true to yourself.
Hopefully it worked out in the end for you!
i hope you actually put the Bethesda Games thing in your hobbies! love it
Yes I did! One of my cooler interviewers asked if I preferred Skyrim/Elder Scroll series over Fallout series and we had a mini-discussion. Definitely one of my best interview experiences!
Thank you for this. The entire thing is so confusing!

You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful
First, thank you for this amazing video! I liked it!
4:46 You are talking about the medical school. It says "For each medical school you have attended."
Should we write our transfer credits school?
I had attended my first medical school 2014-2016. Then I changed my school and registered to another one.
So I did NOT get any degrees from my 1. school.
Should I write that? And what should I write for the "degree"? Because I did not get the M. D. degree, I left there.
What are the other options?
You're welcome! I see what you mean, and I can think of two options:
Option 1: My advice would be to categorize the degree from your first medical as Expected Doctor of Medicine (Exp M.D.) and then list the degree month and year when you would have earned your degree, and correctly listing the dates of education (2014-2016).
Option 2: Alternatively, you could categorize your first medical school under higher education, with education type = graduate, degree expected or earned = No. List the medical school where you earned your degree under Medical education section.
Personally, I would pick option 1. Definitely run it by your mentors or your advisors.
Thank you, That was really helpful. I'm applying this year in Internal Medicine and this has given me some nice idea about how to approach the different sections in my Eras. And I liked your hobbies section as well, some of which I actually didn't know they qualify as hobbies. However I have a question, I have some teaching experience working as a tutor for usmle, some were paid, some were free. is it wise to include that in the application, and if yes, under which section.thank you.
I am glad you found the video helpful! For your teaching experience, I would classify your entire teaching experience under either volunteering or work experience, whichever had higher hours. For instance, If you did 100 hours of paid experience and 50 hours of free teaching, I would include all of this under work experience and include an additional sentence such as "50 hours of free tutoring in XYZ".
thank you
