Adjusting to Medical School: An Honest 1st Semester of Med School Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- This is a review of medical school after 1 semester - the lessons learned and the experiences you need to hear. I am officially 1/8 of a doctor! The transition from an undergraduate student to a med student isn't easy and there are many lessons that you learn along the way. These are the top lessons medical school has taught me in just my first few months so that you, the college pre-med or the newly accepted medical student, can be more prepared when you walk on campus. I broke the vide down into 3 discussion topics giving my top 3 lessons in each discussion area.
Academics - 1:54
Life Outside of the Classroom - 8:11
Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic - 12:58
Hopefully you can apply these lessons to your life and you get a better idea of what you are getting yourself into during your first few months of life in medical school.

Thanks so much for the insight. I’m heading to Med school next year and this was super helpful 🌟😌
You did amazing! Thank you for recognizing the need to get away some. I always worry about our students. Have a great break! #SimTribe
Thank you! I know it can't be emphasized enough so I hope it helps remind students to take time for themselves!
I just got accepted to MCG today and your channel is giving me life! Can’t wait 👩🏾⚕️
CONGRATS!!! That makes me so happy when I get to meet the new class coming in. Hope to see you on campus in a few months :) Enjoy the free time while you got it tho!
I love everything you said, can totally relate. I'm also a first year med student in AZ. Definitely like drinking out of a fire hose. I love that you said to keep your passions, I definitely gave up one of my major passions and I can see how it affected my happiness. Gonna add it back in! Even if I dont get A's haha. Also my school is not P/F sad face lolol
I know it must be harder without a P/F system but I have seen too many people lose their passion for medicine because it became the only thing their life revolved around. Mental health has got to be a bigger priority across the country for med students for sure so don't feel bad going back to some of your passions!
you're my favorite youtuber! :)
favorite fan :) come bring some more subscribers here
Great video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for creating this! Do you think that being able to do things like taking the weekend off and continuing hobbies is specific to the medical school you go to and the student you are, or do you feel that the vast majority of students can do this despite personal differences in intellectual ability/speed in learning new information? I ask this as a potential pre-med student who is overwhelmed with undergraduate coursework and concerned about what social time would be left in medical school. Thank you so much!
Great question! I believe that regardless of personal differences in learning speed, every medical student has to prioritize time for hobbies and wellness. Burnout is a severe epidemic for medical students and doctors so regardless of who you are, you simply won't survive if you continually study all the time. With that being said, having fun and spending time with others is not mutually exclusive to studying. Find ways to make studying a social event instead of a gruesome task. It will help you to not only enjoy the process more, but help the material stick better as you tie them in with fun memories. I wish you the best in your undergrad coursework and don't give up! Everyone has what it takes to become a med student regardless of how "smart" you are, but don't let studying become the only thing you know.
can you explain more of the pass/fail curriculum ? is it more of just you either pass or fail there’s no A’s, B’s, and C’s kind of thing ?
So it's exactly how you described. For the preclinical years (the years before you go to your rotations as an M3), grades are not recorded on your transcript as A, B, C, etc. It will only show on your transcript as a P/F, however numerical averages are kept internally to give the medical college the opportunity to award merit based scholarships during your time at the institution. But the grades will never be sent to the residency programs you are applying to besides your rotation grades which are on an A, B, C scale.
You lived!!! ;)
Can you make a video teaching how you did your video?
(Script, reading script, planning)
I really liked it, and I am sure soon you’ll be “famous” and I’d like to learn from you before you can’t even read my messages 😂
(I am a second year med student, greetings from Honduras!)
hahaha "famous" but I can consider it in the future! It's nothing too glamorous and definitely still developing so I'll see if I can organize my mess into something a video some day. maybe in a Q&A on my insta I can answer some questions in the near future
@@NDMD I’ll be looking forward to it, best wishes!
I can see the 10k subs is almost, 😅🙌
Infact it's 10k subs already... Kindly do
Q/A for Pharmacy...
Wait is pharmacy part of med school😣😢i literally have no idea...
Conventional medicine is horrible. I think those wanting to go into medicine should bring innovation and challenge the medical system. Our medical system needs repair and a new model or to be completely deconstructed and rebuilt. I think medical students should question the system of their schooling and what they are being taught. You really have to have compassion to be a good doctor. Diseases have a root cause, be a doctor who is curious and not a doctor who treats symptoms. Don’t be brainwashed by your medical schooling. The medical system wants blind followers who don’t question much and do what they are told. Please don’t be a sheeple doctor. A lot of doctors who do speak out on our inadequate medical system are made to look like they are the ones “loosing” it but in fact they are the ones with real solutions. For Profit Health organizations are madly deceitful. Either doctors know this and don’t care or they are under the spell of the system and lack the ability to question things and think for themselves.
Just curious, do you have a speech impediment?
Bruh what… who asks something like this?
He sounds normal to me, what makes you think this?
Prestige and money! Y’all don’t really care about helping sick people. Ego is the driving force.
Someone's bitter. Don't blame the doctors, blame the leeches in healthcare administration.
