I have to say that you are THE MOST relatable med student person online. You give very helpful advice. I have 7 little kids and work full time and am applying for med school this year and SO much content out there is for single people with nothing to do but worry about school. Your methods and advice always work for me and help me figure things out. So THANK YOU!
This message means so much! Thank YOU! I’m so happy to hear that you have been able to resonate with me and that my videos have been helpful in your journey! The experience you have raising 7 kids is going to equip you that much more to succeed in medical school and beyond!
No way he's back! Been missing your content man! I would love to see vlog type videos of your day as a medstudent.. even if it's just you studying and talking to the camera lol. Definitely an inspiring figure for me as a premed student!
JR your videos are always right on time! Every phase I’ve had in med school you’ve been helpful in it. Can you make a video about how you actually ~learn~ from your practice questions? I be on UWorld getting tagged fam 🤧😂

I think the Anking deck is fantastic. I recommend using the most update version and even considering AnkiHub where you will have the most up to date cards
Thanks for the info! I'm starting M3 soon and had a question if you don't mind. Did you do all the Step 2 associated Anking cards during rotations, and if so, did you have the time to keep this up over every clerkship? Or would you recommend only unsuspending cards associated with UWorld incorrects to save some time? Thanks so much!
Fantastic question! I would recommend only unsuspending cards associated with UWorld. When you go into dedicated, you can pick up some of the lower-yield ones if you, but I think it’s a good move to focus on the high yield ones that are showing up in questions. Good luck as you start M3! It’s a busy but extremely rewarding season!
It depends on the day. Some days I get home around 3pm and have much of my evening to relax, and other days it’s closer to 6pm and I have just enough time to study for a bit and eat dinner lol. But on average, I have enough time to relax on the couch with my wife and watch 30-60 minutes of tv before bed
Yeah, that’s how our school is! However, a few of us were able to take it and bypass that policy. Waiting on scores now and just praying it went well. Now I’m just wondering what to do with all the step 1-only tagged cards. I guess I’ll suspend them like you did and only keep the step 1 + step 2 cards in the AnKing Deck. Thanks for the info!
anki and uworld go brrrr
They are life bro lol

I’m honored that you’ve found inspiration in me and my videos! I’ll definitely have some more vlogs coming soon too 😎
This is great! I remember this being a challenge when I was in my third year. I'm in fellowship and these skills are still relevant. Great job!
Thank you so much Dr. Hills. That’s really encouraging and means a lot!

I’m so happy these videos come right on time for you Ty’a! And I know exactly what you mean with UWorld hahah. I think that’s a great video idea!
Its been awhileeeee, thankfully you're back!
Feels good to get videos out again! More to come!
been following your channel since my first year of med school. Appreciate the content you put out. Super helpful!!
Thank you so much for your continued support! So happy you’re enjoying the content! I’ll keep it coming!
Always a great day when you upload!
I’ve been missing making these videos! I’m glad you like them!
Great video!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
As a medical student do you hire an editor or do it yourself with your REALLY tight schedule?
I edit all my own videos lol. We’ll see if that continues in the future though 😅
Love this thank you for sharing! Did you suspend your step 1 Anki cards after step?
I’m glad you liked it! And I suspended the solely step 1 cards, but left the cards the had step 2 tags in the rotation

When do you have time to make your flash cards during clerkships ?
I use the Anking premade deck
What Anki decks do you recommend for 3rd year?
I think the Anking deck is fantastic. I recommend using the most update version and even considering AnkiHub where you will have the most up to date cards

Thanks so much for the advice, I really appreciate it! Good luck to you in the next step of your career as well@@EvolvingMedic
Random question. Where do you get your suit(s)?
I’ve gotten them at different places depending on where the sale is 😅. Men’s warehouse and Macys are usually where I look first though
Anki + questions
The best combo
Hi, I have a question. how much free time do you get after coming to your home, after stressful clinical duties
It depends on the day. Some days I get home around 3pm and have much of my evening to relax, and other days it’s closer to 6pm and I have just enough time to study for a bit and eat dinner lol. But on average, I have enough time to relax on the couch with my wife and watch 30-60 minutes of tv before bed
Thanks bro appreciate your efforts in your videos
@EvolvingMedic are you into general practice or specializing? If you are specializing; what is it on?
Hey JR, what anki deck are you using?
Thank you for this. Entering my second week of rotations next week and Im defn gonna try this strategy JR
Nice!! I hope this strategy works for you! I'm sure you're going to crush it!
Awesome to see you posting again!! Really appreciate your videos. Awesome job on the study tips!
It’s great to be back! And I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos!
Thanks.
Out of curiosity, did you remove your AnKing step 1 cards for clerkship or did you keep them in rotation?
Hey! I removed them after finishing step 1, which for my school happened before beginning clerkships. But I know some schools do things differently.
Yeah, that’s how our school is! However, a few of us were able to take it and bypass that policy. Waiting on scores now and just praying it went well. Now I’m just wondering what to do with all the step 1-only tagged cards. I guess I’ll suspend them like you did and only keep the step 1 + step 2 cards in the AnKing Deck. Thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for this! Would you say anki & uworld are enough to do well on shelf exams?
When you are doing clerkships, can you wear your own scrubs?
Can you pls share Anki link?
