Jenny, I can't tell you enough how valuable and inspiring to see someone like me, a Vietnamese-American woman, share her experiences throughout her medical journey. You really feel like the big sister I've never had! Starting med school this fall and will definitely take this advice into consideration :)
Love your videos Jenny! I’m struggling with residency, it’s hard to keep a balance between caring about your patients, studying and still maintaining your personal life. Stress is literally killing me. Also read some of the books you mentioned. One that helped me a lot was “What doctors feel - How emotions affect the practice of medicine” by Danielle Ofri, MD. Thanks for keeping it real in your videos, they help a lot 💪🏼 wish you all the best ☺️
Residency is tough. The time commitment can be extreme at times. I look forward that one day off or that vacation. My coresidents were a big help too. Struggling together made it feel little bit easier.
Congrats on your Board Certification! You make a good point. It's really important to remember who we are pre-DO/MD/PhD/etc. As people move up the ladder, it's easy to lose sight. People can get caught up on their title or the degree (achievements and prestige) and forget the most important concept--what Mr. Rogers tells four year-olds: you are likable/special just as you are. You, inherently, as a person are worthwhile. A healer will help lift up those around them or offer them the tools. To do this you have to be able to value your patients as an equal and relate to them on the human level. Having empathy for the struggles of others means that you can readily admit to yourself that you have been there and endured a similar pain/struggle. Sounds like you get THIS. You're a good doc/person in my book. My .02$, not that you asked for it. lol ;p Great vid as always. Looking forward to the next...
Matt! You are like my Hype Man 😭 don’t know what I did to deserve you. I also feel like you’d give it to me straight if you disagreed with me. I appreciate that and you ❤️
@@drjennale Glad I can facilitate the hype. lol Thinking about this stuff and writing it out helps me, too. So thank you. You videos ignite my neurons and help me focus on what is important in life.
Loved all the points you made. I would love to hear more about the books you have read and loved or ones you found really helpful. I am really trying to add reading for fun in my routine even though sometimes it seems hard with so much studying and never enough time. I always struggle with finding the time for myself and taking just a little time away from studying and stressing for me, so I think reading is a good way to do that.
Yes! I feel like in medicine we are constantly overworked and compare ourselves to others and feel like we need to do more 😭 it’s a vicious cycle. Making time for ourselves and being in a better headspace can actually boost productivity
Hi Jenny. Very good video. Can you do a video of things you wish you knew before starting residency? Can you share tips and apps that are useful in residency? Any advice in how to take good patient notes, update charts, etc. Thank you for your time.
@@drjennale Thank you so much! I've found your videos so inspiring these past few years so this means an awful lot. Love your passion and genuine dedication to helping your followers succeed x
I think understand what you are talking about.I had a male relatives who takes doctor's degree. After 6 years of education he graduate and become general doctor.By the time he graduates he is already 24 years old and only had one more years to get married because he wanted to marry young.Fortunately he met his future wife in ini and he got married at 25.After getting married he started to take ssurgery specialisation and it took him almost 6 years.So he became specialised doctor at 31 years of age.I respect what he did but I think that he has done a lot of sacrifices for himself especially the time that he should have with his friend while he was young.He has just realised that hisbtime is never go back
Could you make a video on how to study or be prepared for med school for those who English is their second language. I moved to the US 5 years ago and I still on the learning process.
If you could please share a video on things you knew before FM residency, that'd be so helpful! Thank you. I'm about to start FM residency and would love to learn from you
Thanks so much, I really appreciate this video. Is there a way that you can make a video about opportunities after med school graduation for those that didn’t match or are taking a gap year? I am graduating soon, but have been stressing out about what to do while I am preparing for the next match.
@@drjennale I’m a med student now 😊 I’m from Europe, med school is 6 years here in Croatia and I’m in my 5th year now. After that comes 5 years of Specialty. Not sure yet what specialty I’ll choose. I like internal medicine, especially Endocrinology and Nephrology. You inspire me a lot 😊❤️
Congratulations! These are the two smartest specialties I know! I think in the US it’s only 3 year fellowship after 3 years of internal medicine ... so still 10 year journey 😅
@@drjennale totally! Following the news/politics/economics is something I enjoy. Opens up your eyes so much to how society operates. Makes you a better Dr. Let’s you hold your own when people start talking nonsense ;)
I use notion as my second brain and I could not go one day without it. Maybe I'll make a video just for you going over my set up 😘😘 I'll tag you in it if I do!!
Hello I am Melissa. I am about to begin an ASN program. I am considering that in 4.5 years I'll go back to college to fill in my 2 semesters of missing credits; therefore, I can apply to the medical school I want. It's pretty scary.

Congratulations on medical school! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 this big sis is so proud!
I am starting PA school in the summer. Very good advice on aspects that I never even thought about. Thank you!
Congratulations Meredith!!
Working together is literally key
I lived by myself in med school and if I could go back, I would have tried to live with other students

Thank you Jenny!! I am premed student and I will definitely try your tips :)
Yess!! Good tips for life basically 😊
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m starting DO school this summer and I’m so scared. Thank you for posting this!
Congratulations Andreina! The most exciting things in life can also seem scary. You got this!
@@drjennale you’re so right. Thank you!! ❤️
great points! about to start PA school and a lot of these can be applied too :-)
Congratulations!! Yes - things I wish I knew for life in general 🤓
What is PA means?🤔

Hi Jenny. Very good video. Can you do a video of things you wish you knew before starting residency? Can you share tips and apps that are useful in residency? Any advice in how to take good patient notes, update charts, etc. Thank you for your time.
What EMR do you use? We have EPIC and there are lots of things you can do like note template, dot phrases, and dragon that help with efficiency
@@drjennale I haven't started yet. I don't know what EMR they use. Sorry.
It’s ok! Well congratulations on matching. You’ll figure it out fast!
Starting medical school in September; thank you for these great tips! x
Congratulations on med school! So exciting

Thank you Dr. Jenny😃. You're truly an inspiration❤️
Thank you Jagriti - how are you
Pretty good😅... Studying for finals & trying to practice "preventative" lifestyle habits 😁 (discipline is hard!😭)
You got this! Good luck!!
@@drjennale thank you:))❤️
Yes on those books ☺️
Loved the last one re understanding politics! - Elahe
Can’t enact change if we don’t know who or laws are made! I did not truly understand until I started medical school
@@drjennale totally! Following the news/politics/economics is something I enjoy. Opens up your eyes so much to how society operates. Makes you a better Dr. Let’s you hold your own when people start talking nonsense ;)

Hello I am Melissa.
I am about to begin an ASN program.
I am considering that in 4.5 years I'll go back to college to fill in my 2 semesters of missing credits; therefore, I can apply to the medical school I want.
It's pretty scary.
Some of the most rewarding experiences in life can be scary. You got this! 💪🏽👩🏻⚕️
