I randomly click on this video, and I must say I’m really proud as a black man to see this young black brother and the other black brother in medical school 🙏🏿👏👏👏👏👍🏿👍🏿KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Hey bro, I’m a pre-med student from Chicago and i just discovered your channel. It’s so inspirational seeing someone that looks like me accomplish the goals that i want to accomplish. You just inspired me to go 100 times harder because i know that my dreams are possible. Your videos matter, I needed to see this. May you continue to strive and prosper.
Thank you so much for this bro and I’m honored that you’ve found my videos helpful and inspiring. You are FULLY CAPABLE to achieve anything you set your mind to and I’m so happy you can resonate with me in the way you do ✊🏽. Let me know if there are any questions you ever have or if I can ever be of any help along your own journey.
If you like this channel then you’ll also like Ahmad Shahin’s. That’s the channel name. Similar stuff (he’s also at Mayo in Arizona) my favorite TH-camr for sure
@@EvolvingMedic bless ya so much hard work to become an dr I'm sure in end your get there i hope one day to help teach medical students as one of there body donors as I'm thermally ill young man so decided to give consent to body donation in hope to help teach medical students Anatomy i wish all well in there studies and pray you carry on to become great dr take care
There’s a certain passion or positivity that shows through and it’s really inspiring. I’m finishing up my BSN but I feel like I need to understand more and learn more, it just doesn’t quite feel right. I think I’m going to finish the pre med prereqs and work towards getting into med school. thank you for the videos!
I’m so happy you can resonate with me and I’m glad to hear you’re following your passions and considering pursuing med school! It’s a tough journey but when you’re passionate about it, you wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. Let me know if you ever have any questions about anything!
First, you are not a RN officially and there is so much you can learn from that path. I felt the same way in Nursing School but once on the floor the knowledge grew grew and keeps growing. If you went into Nursing to have a Medical view can be misguided. They are two different professions with many similarities but at the core they are distinctly different. I hope this helps in your journey.
Hey JR, My name is Marq and I look forward to following your journey. I am a 2nd year veterinary student, it’s crazy to see the similarities in our days lol. Those 7a-7p days kick my butt, but it’ll be worth it in the end! Keep up the GREAT work!
I’m so glad I stumbled across this page. The positivity you bring I feel is unmatched and helps me relate to my medicine journey in so many ways. I look forward to keep moving forward with you!!
I am so happy for you I am in Grade 12 of secondary school and i'm having my A levels final exams next year and I am planning to move to france afterwards to study Oncology and my dream is definitely to work at Mayo clinic one day be...I hope that I will be able to make it .Seeing you enjoying your life as a medical student makes me look forward to it...Your enthusiasm motivates me a lot cause all I see on youtube is people crying because of med school (which I guess gets more tough throughout the years and I completely understand the frustration behind all of it ) I enjoy seeing you being so optimistic about it .
I’m glad to hear that my videos have motivated you. There can definitely be hard times in this field, but at the end of the day it is an honor to practice medicine. Wishing you the best of luck!
@@EvolvingMedic I appreciate you so much, you'll do great in ortho, you actually already answered it in your study habits video! how do you afford everything, are you able to work and do medical school?
Working during medical school isn’t really feasible, but I’m blessed with a wife that works 😅 lol. But student loans allow the vast majority of medical students to go to school and also pay for things like housing, food, etc.
Thanks for showing these great type of videos! I live near this school, and work at Mayo. I actually aspire to attend here someday for medical school, so its great seeing what it would be like. You are very inspirational and its relieving to see the balance you have with school and the rest of your life and wellbeing. If possible, if you offer any mentorship or shadowing, I would be greatly interested and appreciative!
Thank you so much for this message and I’m honored that you have found my videos helpful and inspiring. I recommend joining our Teach as You Learn mentorship community!

I'm from philippines really want to pursue med school I'm currently studying BSN incoming third year this current year and u really inspire me to go medschool with your sincerity and passionate schedule thankyou for this vlog and keep fighting Dr. Smith!
Love your channel! You radiate such positivity and passion for medicine and it is so inspiring to see. Your voice is also very soothing lol. Keep up the great work man!
So happy I found this channel! You’re clearly gonna be an incredible doctor. I’m heading back to finish undergrad and hopefully head to med school and just found ANKI. Guess that app is gonna be in my life for a while hahaha
Thank you so much for that encouragement! And I’m glad you found my channel too! If you’re anything like me, Anki will be your best friend (that you have a love/hate relationship with 😂)
I met a guy long time ago, probably big shot high grossing doctor now, he said medschool was a party, he got to spend it on a island resort in the Caribbean. They got medschool there.
Hey Brotha! Enjoyed watching your video and getting an idea what your day looks like. I am pre-med at the moment though looking forward to starting my journey! Best of luck in everything you wish to pursue!
This was a beautiful video and your edits were great! My boyfriend is finishing up Med school this year at Drexel so, I know this journey can be so grueling. Just wanted to say keep grinding you got this!
Not me procrastinating on my Anki cards while discovering your videos :') Super excited to find your channel! You gave me the motivation to finish doing mine LOL Bless up!
Good thing I still have Highschool ahead of me but I’m panicking and trying to figure what I should do what classes I should take to get into Mayo Clinic college. I’m already set on neurosurgery but I don’t know what will get me into there. Watching your video got me excited too, it’s so well made and gives everybody a good insight on what it’s like. I’m going to be moving to Rochester mn hopefully in a year so I can go to high school in Rochester. Yeah this was long, bye
I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos! And there’s no need to panic, especially as a high schooler. I would recommend to just focus on building good student habits over the next few years. Then the rest will take care if itself
Hi! I’m a medical student in Sweden and it’s cool to see that people are fighting through their Anki cards even at Mayo hahah I feel like most of my time goes to making them instead of going through them regularly 🙈 how much time would you say you spend on creating them compared to studying with them?
you just got a new subscriber! If you could do a detailed breakdown of your day (from morning to night) and how you avoid burnout, that would be amazing
Motivating me to keep pushing towards my medical career. Currently active duty army & planning to start my BSN for nursing next year after I complete my CCMA course
That’s incredible!! Thank you for your service and I’m honored to play a role in motivating you to pursue your medical career! You’ll be an amazing nurse 🙏🏽
I’m glad you’re liking these videos! And the music comes from storyblocks which is a resource that has royalty free music that can be used on TH-cam. I usually listen to lo-fi hip hop music which is similar
Currently a graduating senior majoring in Sociology at Morehouse. I intend to do a post baccalaureate program after graduation and starting Medical School in the summer o4 24’. Your videos are truly uplifting and inspiring. Do you have any advice for people who are taking the untraditional route to medical school? Thanks in advance!
So happy you’ve found inspiration in my videos bro! I also am a nontraditional student (I took two gap years). My advice would be to embrace the real world learning you can experience by doing something between undergrad and med school. You’ll bring something special and unique to your future med school class by what you experienced before starting med school. And you have the opportunity to gain more experience than most by taking gap years. Being intentional with growing as a person and not just as a student during this time will help you a ton as an applicant, med student and future physician. I hope this helps and good luck!!
Anki is a flash card tool that students use to study. It’s based on spaced repetition, essentially reviewing material in a consistent way to avoid forgetting it. Here is a video I made going into much more detail: th-cam.com/video/xLIKnumRXD0/w-d-xo.html
Love the channel! Just starting to watch some of your videos. As a med student where do you get your anki decks from (make them yourself, premade online ones, past med students)?
Wow. I might not be quaified for mayo med but I am definitely applying. I had a family member receive treatment from there and I want to be apart of mayo. great video :D
I definitely didn’t think I was qualified! You never know with the med school application so I’m glad to hear you’re applying! And I’m also glad to hear that your family member received good treatment here! 🙏🏽
Hey JR! Wanted to ask about that morning anki - you mentioned you prioritized hematology as its your block, but if the AnKing card count is everything you’ve done, how are you configuring it to show you the heme stuff first? I thought the only part we could control was either randomize all cards, or show new cards for the day after all review? Just a bit confused about Anki as I try to navigate it haha but i figure you’re only getting new cards AFTER you preview the lec last night…? Thanks!
Wouldve loved to see more of the ortho clip and them talking abt the why ortho slide! Idk if u can film some parts of your lectures so I understand if u cant. Does your school have groups like that for most specialties? Also, does mayo clinic start clinic early? I thought clinic was mainly 3rd and 4th yr
We do have groups like this for almost all specialties and we also begin seeing patients pretty early. We still begin our formal clerkship rotations during third year like almost all school, but we begin rotating through inpatient, outpatient, pediatrics and our clinic for underinsured patients at the end of our first year and throughout our second year.
Bro what are those headphones you use to study at home? Need something like that. Great vids! Much love from a pre-Med taking MCAT this April! Wish me luck.
Do you make most of your Anki cards from PowerPoint lectures from your classes? I would love a how-to on how you make your cards if there isn't a video already! Also, is this the only thing you do to memorize?
Great question! I actually don’t make many cards from lecture (though that works for some of my classmates). I really rely on the Anking deck and it corresponds very well to my class content. And Anki is really the only thing I do to study lol. I learn the material, then review it using Anki, and then every now and then do practice questions. Here’s a video on how I use Anki though. I hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/xLIKnumRXD0/w-d-xo.html
@@EvolvingMedic I'm so envious of your school. At our med school, you wouldn't even pass if all you did / mainly did was Anking. Our exams are stupidly in depth on PhD level stuff that isn't boards relevant :( I'm at 750 daily average of cards, and I don't even keep up with old blocks because there's not enough time.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure it is frustrating for faculty to not teach board relevant material but I hope that the depth of knowledge you gain pays off in the long run!
That’s a great question Jamie! When we have to work in the clinic we dress up in formal attire. But students who just have class don’t have to dress up. So it just depends on every one’s personal schedule. Also… Go Duke! 😉 hahah
@@EvolvingMedic that’s hilarious I use the same camera and lens 😂😂😂 maybe I just need to dust my lens off or better my lighting! Thank you though! Enjoyed your video
Hey man, I was wondering, do you make the ankis that you use? If so how do you find the time to make them? If not, then how do you find them? Your videos are extremely helpful and still give me hope!
Hey! I actually don’t make many Anki cards. I almost exclusively use the Anking deck. Here’s a video walking through exactly how I use Anki: th-cam.com/video/xLIKnumRXD0/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps!
Hey! I've got a lot of detailed questions about ANKI that I've always wondered of medical student anki users. When you say "700 anki cards," are those each individual cards, or some you may see multiple times that you need to review again, such as when you click "10 mins" etc. Are some of those cards new cards that take a longer time to know? When you answer the card, are you going through the answer word for word, or do you sometimes visualize the card instead of taking the time to go through the whole answer? If that makes sense. Sometimes I will just visualize in my head what I have on the card, instead of consciously saying the words in my head. I LOVE anki, but I don't know how I'd be able to get through 700 cards in 2 hours, and am wondering what methods you are using to get through them so fast. Thanks!
All great questions! So I had around 700 reviews but ended at a little over 800 from having to do cards again and adding new cards. The cards I do again or the new cards take much longer, but my reviews I try to fly through based on pattern recognition. Since I take time to fully understand a card when it’s new, I pretty much try and zoom through them when after that (unless I miss it, then it’s back to fully learning the card again). A lot of medicine is pattern recognition: A patient with X symptoms over a time frame of Y with a past medical history of Z = diagnosis. There are times when going back and thinking through the details of a certain disease or the mechanism of action for a certain drug may be helpful, but it really all starts with pattern recognition. Sorry for the super long response but I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@EvolvingMedic That totally make sense! I’m currently doing a post bacc to eventually go to med school and am trying to build the habit of anki so that it comes much easier once I’m in med school. Thank you for the response!
I’ve learned that patients are only nervous if the physician or medical student is visibly nervous lol. As long as you are confident (but not arrogant), most patients are very willing to allow you to learn through managing their cases. And you’ll always have supervision as a medical student. I’m honored that you have found inspiration in me! I’m sure you’re going to accomplish great things!
@@EvolvingMedic wow i’m surprise. I am 2 second year med student too but i am 19 years old. Did you do any work before or it’s study program? I just wondered, sorry my English is not good.

I’m glad you liked it!
Very inspiring!!! Congrats
Thank you so much!!
Wow you've got a nice relaxing voice! Nice video ❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Wow. I might not be quaified for mayo med but I am definitely applying. I had a family member receive treatment from there and I want to be apart of mayo. great video :D
I definitely didn’t think I was qualified! You never know with the med school application so I’m glad to hear you’re applying! And I’m also glad to hear that your family member received good treatment here! 🙏🏽
@@EvolvingMedic yep! Never know so might as well try😁
Great vid! Curious on the make and model of the wireless headphones you use? Currently shopping for a pair.
Thank you! And these are the Sony wireless noise canceling headphones: Model WH-H910N. I love them! Sony has some great options
Hey JR! Wanted to ask about that morning anki - you mentioned you prioritized hematology as its your block, but if the AnKing card count is everything you’ve done, how are you configuring it to show you the heme stuff first? I thought the only part we could control was either randomize all cards, or show new cards for the day after all review?
Just a bit confused about Anki as I try to navigate it haha but i figure you’re only getting new cards AFTER you preview the lec last night…?
Thanks!
Wouldve loved to see more of the ortho clip and them talking abt the why ortho slide! Idk if u can film some parts of your lectures so I understand if u cant. Does your school have groups like that for most specialties?
Also, does mayo clinic start clinic early? I thought clinic was mainly 3rd and 4th yr
We do have groups like this for almost all specialties and we also begin seeing patients pretty early. We still begin our formal clerkship rotations during third year like almost all school, but we begin rotating through inpatient, outpatient, pediatrics and our clinic for underinsured patients at the end of our first year and throughout our second year.
Bro what are those headphones you use to study at home? Need something like that. Great vids! Much love from a pre-Med taking MCAT this April! Wish me luck.
Thank you! And I have the Sony WH-1000xm3. I’ll be dropping an MCAT video soon so be on the lookout for that! Good luck with your studies! 🙏🏽
@@EvolvingMedic awesome I will be grinding in the mean time! Keep killing this books 📚
@@MeaslesHumpNdumP Thank you!
Do you make most of your Anki cards from PowerPoint lectures from your classes? I would love a how-to on how you make your cards if there isn't a video already! Also, is this the only thing you do to memorize?
Great question! I actually don’t make many cards from lecture (though that works for some of my classmates). I really rely on the Anking deck and it corresponds very well to my class content. And Anki is really the only thing I do to study lol. I learn the material, then review it using Anki, and then every now and then do practice questions.
Here’s a video on how I use Anki though. I hope it helps!

@@EvolvingMedic I'm so envious of your school. At our med school, you wouldn't even pass if all you did / mainly did was Anking. Our exams are stupidly in depth on PhD level stuff that isn't boards relevant :( I'm at 750 daily average of cards, and I don't even keep up with old blocks because there's not enough time.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure it is frustrating for faculty to not teach board relevant material but I hope that the depth of knowledge you gain pays off in the long run!
Go cats! 😵💫, also curious why some students are in formal attire and some are more casual on campus?
That’s a great question Jamie! When we have to work in the clinic we dress up in formal attire. But students who just have class don’t have to dress up. So it just depends on every one’s personal schedule.
Also… Go Duke! 😉 hahah
Hey man, love the videos! Do you make your own anki cards? Or do you find some already pre made?
Hey! I’m glad you’re loving the videos! I primarily use premade cards (just the Anking deck really lol)
@@EvolvingMedic sweet! I’m really new to them so I’m trying to figure it all out!
“I have 700 Anki cards in 2 hours” what a mood.
I’m in 9th grade and I want to become a physiatrist so this was cool to see
That’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi, thanks for the video. I noticed a lot of stairs. Is your campus wheelchair accessible?
Yes Mayo is wheel chair accessible!
This is amazing 👌💕
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
I really need to learn to wake up at 5 am at least 5 days a week
It’s really a game changer!
What kind of glasses are those? They look really good
Thank you! These were just blue light glasses that I got off Amazon lol
JR Smith you say? Praying you meet someone named LeBron during your medical journey 🙏🏼
Bruh no cap med school a serious grind. I can't even remember the last time I even got to stroke smh 🤦🏿♂️
Stroke?
@@smokerx6291 yes, whck it
What camera do you use? Love ur vid. I start med school next year
Thanks so much and congrats on getting into med school! I use the Sony a6400
What camera and lens is this? I only ask because your video looks amazing!
Thank you so much!! I use the Sony a6400 and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4.
@@EvolvingMedic that’s hilarious I use the same camera and lens 😂😂😂 maybe I just need to dust my lens off or better my lighting! Thank you though! Enjoyed your video
@@Olineece Hahah I love it 😂. And I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
It seems a good doctor is coming out soon.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
Yeah..we walk around with the stethoscope on our suit .....like come on guys
Can you please explain what Anki is exactly?? I love this content..
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Here is a video where I go over Anki in more detail:

Hey man, I was wondering, do you make the ankis that you use? If so how do you find the time to make them? If not, then how do you find them? Your videos are extremely helpful and still give me hope!
Hey! I actually don’t make many Anki cards. I almost exclusively use the Anking deck.
Here’s a video walking through exactly how I use Anki: th-cam.com/video/xLIKnumRXD0/w-d-xo.html
I hope it helps!
Hey! I've got a lot of detailed questions about ANKI that I've always wondered of medical student anki users.
When you say "700 anki cards," are those each individual cards, or some you may see multiple times that you need to review again, such as when you click "10 mins" etc. Are some of those cards new cards that take a longer time to know? When you answer the card, are you going through the answer word for word, or do you sometimes visualize the card instead of taking the time to go through the whole answer? If that makes sense. Sometimes I will just visualize in my head what I have on the card, instead of consciously saying the words in my head. I LOVE anki, but I don't know how I'd be able to get through 700 cards in 2 hours, and am wondering what methods you are using to get through them so fast.
Thanks!
All great questions! So I had around 700 reviews but ended at a little over 800 from having to do cards again and adding new cards. The cards I do again or the new cards take much longer, but my reviews I try to fly through based on pattern recognition. Since I take time to fully understand a card when it’s new, I pretty much try and zoom through them when after that (unless I miss it, then it’s back to fully learning the card again). A lot of medicine is pattern recognition: A patient with X symptoms over a time frame of Y with a past medical history of Z = diagnosis. There are times when going back and thinking through the details of a certain disease or the mechanism of action for a certain drug may be helpful, but it really all starts with pattern recognition.
Sorry for the super long response but I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@EvolvingMedic That totally make sense! I’m currently doing a post bacc to eventually go to med school and am trying to build the habit of anki so that it comes much easier once I’m in med school. Thank you for the response!
That’s a great idea! I wish I works have had that forethought 😅. You’re going to be really ahead of the game!
Are patients not nervous when you give them injections considering you're still a student? You're doing so good! I strive to be like you one day.
I’ve learned that patients are only nervous if the physician or medical student is visibly nervous lol. As long as you are confident (but not arrogant), most patients are very willing to allow you to learn through managing their cases. And you’ll always have supervision as a medical student.
I’m honored that you have found inspiration in me! I’m sure you’re going to accomplish great things!
Nice video, though I'll admit I had to google what Anki cards were! Doh! :)
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And Anki is a very med school-specific thing lol
Where did you get your suit? It’s so fresh.
Thank you!! I honestly don’t know lol. I think this was a gift a few years ago
Do more videos like this!!

This is an amazing video bro! Can you tell me how old are you bro?
Thank you! And I’m 25
@@EvolvingMedic wow i’m surprise. I am 2 second year med student too but i am 19 years old. Did you do any work before or it’s study program? I just wondered, sorry my English is not good.
Hello sir,
Hope you are doing fine
I wanted to ask how you used anki while maintaining a deep understanding of the content?
Thanks
