Omg this Lecturio thing is so good. I’m surprised they have nursing content. So much better content than my professors’ lectures! AND MCAT prep 🙌🏼 Thank u!!
Just subscribed ✅ I’m premed and had to put school on pause due to my business that I was running while I was in school 😅 I’ll be back in school full-time next year and you’re videos are very helpful. Thank you.
Yesss! Great video...I just graduated nursing school and my iPad Pro 12.9 & pencil was the best investment I made in my education. I got it my last year and wish I would’ve gotten it sooner. I’m still using it now to study nclex & hopefully soon for grad school. Its so convenient I slept with mine and used it in bed when I woke up at night I just studied.
Hahah that is so facts! I’m a have to step my game up and bring the iPad to bed! 😂 But I definitely agree, it’s the best investment I’ve made for school as well!
It might be time to stop my paper notes and go for the iPad!! Thanks for actually demonstrating the different functionalities! And lecturio? Whew there are so many resources out there that I’m still trying to narrow down. Thanks as always and keep evolving (and, yup, the couch has been a spot for watching lecture!) God bless!
Appreciate you Maia!!! And it’s so impressive that you’ve been as successful as you’ve been with paper notes! You’re more organized than me! Lol. And the couch is definitely the current mood 😅. God bless!
As an aspiring neurologist, just turned 17, I'll DEFINITELY utilize this and get a "head start"! 😊 I appreciate your enthusiasm for sharing such valuable information, especially because of the simplicity.
Real talk, I’m genuinely confused as to how your channel hasn’t blown up yet. One of these days bro, when you start hitting 100,000s of views I can say I’ve known it from the start. Keep pushing bro, amazing content :)
I really appreciate that Labib! I’m just going to try to keep putting out the best content I can and help as many people as I can who tune in and the rest will take care of itself.
Hahah fair enough! I can see why people would like good notes more. I usually lean toward whichever is easier to use rather than which one offers more customization
Your videos are so good. I’m still in high school but you make me motivated to do my best. I hope that in 4 years I can be in a similar spot to where you are. Keep up the good work😊
Thank you so much! I am sure you will be in an incredible position in 4 years. Stay motivated and ambitious and you will accomplish any goal you set for yourself!
This was amazing!! I am going to get the iPad and once I'm successful in med school I will have you to thank so in that case Gracias Evolving Medic!!!!
Thank you so much Branden!! I’m truly honored and I have no doubt that you will be an incredibly successful medical student and go on to be an awesome doctor!
I am in middle school and studying to be a Neurosurgeon and this helps to much . Can you make a video of everything you need for a I pad like apps, accessories,and how much they cost if they are money . Your account is literally my tutoring for medical school.
Thank you so much! I use the Sony a6400 for these types of videos and my iPhone 12 pro for my vlogs. Trying to get better and better every video! #KeepEvolving
Really having a hard time deciding between an iPad Air (4) 64gb with the magic keyboard and pencil or the solo 256. My budget is tight, but I’ll get the education discount. The difference between the 256 air and 128 pro is like $50. But the 64 air would give me room for accessories and no waiting. I sold my MacBook Air laptop to make this happen. I have a desktop iMac I rarely use. Main use for iPad will be writing papers, web browsing, email, bit of zoom, media consumption and streaming, reading, editing photos, note taking and light drawing. Playing some games on Apple Arcade. It will be my first iPad in many years and I’m really excited. What would you do? Is 64gb enough?
That’s a great question. For me personally, I would go with the 256, even if it meant sacrificing the keyboard and pencil (you can always get these later). The 64gb model may just narrowly suffice for medical school (downloading PowerPoints, taking notes, etc.). But it will be close, especially as you progress through school. The way that I personally think of it is: you can always get the accessories later, but you won’t be as easily able to change models. Again, this is just my own thoughts and it will ultimately depend on your preferences and budget. You can definitely make it with the 64gb model, especially if you don’t want to keep old notes. I hope this helps and either way you’re going to love your new iPad!
I’m studying for mcat and my handwriting is creating an issue for me.... I may have to go this route but I wonder how writing on iPad could reduce simple errors while keeping up with my pace
I also suffer from sub-optimal handwriting lol. But I have found that writing on the iPad actually produces more legible script than writing with pencil and paper! It also offers immediate color changing and highlighting tools of you like to do that as well. And this could help with your pace. If you do choose to check out the iPad let me know what you think in terms of writing on it! The paper-like screen protector may also interest you as it gives you the pen and paper feel to writing. I hope this helps!
The iPad note taking aps do actually clarify a bit your writing. Plus writing on a screen feels different so you'll find that you adapt your writing and actually can make yourself write better. I did that
Do you ever wish you would have gotten the larger iPad Pro? I have heard some complain that the split screen feature is a bit difficult on the smaller version
That’s a great point! And definitely a fair complaint. For me personally I also have a Mac and use that for most things so I actually don’t need to split the screen on my iPad much. But if I only had an iPad I definitely would have gotten the larger model.
If I'm only planning on taking notes and using online textbooks on my ipad, would 64gb be sufficient or would going 256gb be better for a 5 year med school programme??
If you are planning on downloading books, the 64gb model may be pushing it a bit. It is definitely manageable though if the cost is the main concern. But the 256gb model would be a safer bet, especially if you end up using it for other things (note taking apps, etc.).
@@EvolvingMedic what would you reccomend the ideal storage was for a medical student with the ipad? I was thinking 512 gb but im confused as to whether 256 may be just enough.
I personally have the 256gb model and it has been great for me!! It should be enough for your all your medical school needs, but if you want to use it for other things that require a lot of storage (downloading books, movies, etc.), you may consider going with more storage. But again, the 256 has been perfect for me. I hope this helps!
@@EvolvingMedic thank you so much! I am starting med school in September as a first year so I was worries that 256gb may not last me the 6 years to come. The most important usage would be for medschool however I would love to use it for other stuff too, e.g netflix. So I think I'll go with the 512gb one just so I dont run out of space
I’ve heard great things about the paperlike screen protectors. Especially for the feel during note taking. I personally don’t have a screen protector on my iPad (though I know I probably should 😅).
Hi RJ! love your videos, and this one especially as I'm starting my med school journey very soon. By any chance, do you know if the coupon code is still valid? I just tried to purchase the 12-month but received an error that the coupon code is invalid. Thanks!
Hi!! Thanks for your video. I have a quick question and I’d be grateful to you if you could help. My daughter is going to a Medical College next year and I personally wanted to buy an iPad for her for her Uni. Just wanted to know would that be enough for her? As it is much convenient, less bulky, lighter and easy to work on than a laptop/notebook. Thanks 👍🏻
Hi! A lot of people do great with just an iPad! At this point, I think the iPad is plenty for a medical student, but I would recommend getting a keyboard for it. Good luck to your daughter!
@@EvolvingMedic Hi!! Thanks for the reply. I already bought an iPad Air for her, a pen and keyboard. It cost me a fortune though but I’m glad that she is very happy and that it should be ok for her medical college for good few years. 👍🏻
iPad was great for me with notability. However pretty much every school requires a laptop. Besides the screen isn't infinite and having the lectures on the laptop let's use the screen real-estate for books and the notes
I personally have the 256 but I use it for things outside of school and I was worried about running out of storage. If you plan to save all of your notes or download E-books or large files for school you may want to go with the 256 model too. But if you aren’t planning on taking/saving a lot of notes or downloading many files you could probably get by with the 64gb model. I personally would go with the 256 because I like having space for everything, but it’s not necessarily needed if the budget doesn’t allow for it!
That’s a great question. I don’t use tempered glass and have never felt the need to personally. But if you want to maintain the pen to paper feel that’s a good option!
I’m an Apple user so I would use an iPad so it is integrated with all my other devices. But if you are more accustomed to android, I’m sure the surface pro would work great!

I hope this helps and good luck in pharmacy school!!
@@EvolvingMedic thank you for the advice, I ended up going with the 256 so I can use it for things outside of school as well. Good luck to you as well with the remainder of med school!
I think it depends on if you’d like the versatile and mobility of an iPad, or the slightly increased functionality of a laptop. I would also check with your school to make sure they aren’t giving you a laptop (some provide them for their students). My first thought is usually to recommend an iPad because it’s easy to bring whatever you need to go and you can basically do everything you need to on it.
I personally have a Mac that I use at home but I know a lot of students who have legitimately replaced their laptop with an iPad. Also, many school give students laptops when you start, making it even more possible to get by with just your own ipad
Hey Joseph! I’m using the iPad Pro 11” and love it. I think it’s the perfect size and has the power and storage to do everything you’d need to in medical school.
@@EvolvingMedic Thanks a lot man! My girl just got excepted into medical school recently and was beginning to look into IPads but I wanted to surprise her with one!
I would go with an iPad if you already have a solid laptop. If you ever wanted more screen real estate you cooks always get a monitor and connect it to your laptop. That’s what I do and it’s a lot cheaper than the desktop route. And by getting something that’s portal and conducive to note taking, a tablet like the iPad really comes in handy when you’re out and about. I hope this helps!
Hey Janet! I have the 11” and I think it’s perfect. But my iPad is also more of an accessory to my laptop. If you plan on solely using the iPad, you may consider the 12.9”, but even then, the 11” will probably still work for you just as well. Unless you really want screen real estate, I’d probably lean toward the 11”
If you also have a MacBook, I’d recommend the smaller one since it will probably serve as the device you carry around outside the home (and the smaller the better for those purposes)
You should be fine with the 128gb model if you plan to only use it for school and aren’t downloading full textbooks, lectures etc. I personally have the 256 model, but I chose that because I planned to use it for things outside of school as well.
My med school gives all students a Macbook... should I invest in an iPad as well? I like the idea of note-taking on it but my tuition money is already going toward a new laptop :')
I think it’s definitely possible but I personally think it’s valuable to have both. Some schools provide laptops though and many of my classmates use the school provided laptop and just purchase an iPad and that works great for them!
Heyyy love your channel could you help me decide if I should get an Ipad mini so that I can carry it with me during rotations later on in 3rd-5th year (not sure if an ipad mini is completely necessary lmk) or an Ipad pro/ regular Ipad for studying now (I'm in the last semester of 1st year rn 4/6 blocks almost done)?
Hey! I personally would lean toward the iPad Pro because you can do more with it. I think a smart phone would suffice during rotations so I personally would focus more on what device you can do the most with. I hope this helps!
Can it really handle all presentations and notes for all 5 years of my medicine school and is it really accessible! To like reach every lecture like how the laptop provides
Great question! This will depend on storage, similar to the laptop. Some students (like myself) don’t download all lectures and eventually delete most of the ones I do download lol. But other students like to have all lectures downloaded and you can definitely do this with the iPad! I just recommend getting a ton of storage (at least the 256gb model). And it is extremely accessible. I think that’s why so many students like it. It’s easy to take everywhere and you can essentially get everything out of it that you would a full laptop. I hope this helps!
Now that campus will probably be in person are you going to take your MacBook & iPad to campus? I’m trying to decide between the 12.9 and 11 inch.. I have a MacBook Air, I’m not necessarily trying to replace it but it would be nice if when I’m on campus I only need one device that’s sufficient. Such a hard decision lol.
For the purposes of using/studying with solely the iPad on campus do you think the 11inch is sufficient or do you wish you would have gotten the bigger size?
The 11” has been perfect for me. I love the size. I personally use a monitor/Mac setup at home and only my iPad when I am away from home (or working from the couch lol). So if it were my primary computer I may have considered going up in size, but even then, I think the 11” could work very well
I beg to differ. Microsoft Surface Pro series is a much better product. Unlike iPad, Surface Pro comes with factory installed kickstand that enables me takes notes ergonomically. Most of the softwares used at my school are optimised for Windows OS. The possibility of losing your stylus on Surface Pro X is nearly zero because the pen stores and charges on the key board: th-cam.com/video/v5SFBpMiaiQ/w-d-xo.html
You can definitely use a laptop and I actually have both. But a lot of students like the portability, ease of use, and note taking abilities that the iPad has
I would probably get a laptop before the iPad if I had to choose. You may want to check with your school though and see if they are renting out laptops to you. Some schools give their students laptops to work on during their time there
Great question James. A lot of it is student loans, especially if you don’t have a source of income. That’s why I think if people have choices when they’re applying, to really value differences in scholarship offers. But with expected salaries after training, many students who I have talked to do not worry about paying off loans

Unless you really want screen real estate, I’d probably lean toward the 11”
I'm torn between getting the larger one or the 11inch ? I also have a MacBook, what do you recommend?
If you also have a MacBook, I’d recommend the smaller one since it will probably serve as the device you carry around outside the home (and the smaller the better for those purposes)
I’m getting the iPad Pro for med school but I don’t know if to go for 128gb or 256?
You should be fine with the 128gb model if you plan to only use it for school and aren’t downloading full textbooks, lectures etc. I personally have the 256 model, but I chose that because I planned to use it for things outside of school as well.
My med school gives all students a Macbook... should I invest in an iPad as well? I like the idea of note-taking on it but my tuition money is already going toward a new laptop :')
I wish you can see this
Can we manage to get thru med school with only an iPad without a laptop…?
I think it’s definitely possible but I personally think it’s valuable to have both. Some schools provide laptops though and many of my classmates use the school provided laptop and just purchase an iPad and that works great for them!

Hahah you already know it’s how I survive! 😅
Do you use 11inch or 12.9 inch iPad?
I use the 11 inch
What GB did you purchase/ do you recommend?
I have the 256 gb model and I think it will be more than enough for medical students. I’m sure you can also get by with a 128 gb model
Does it have to be ipad pro? Can I get the ipad 6th or 7th gen instead? (the one with the button)
You definitely can get the iPad 6th or 7th generation!
Heyyy love your channel could you help me decide if I should get an Ipad mini so that I can carry it with me during rotations later on in 3rd-5th year (not sure if an ipad mini is completely necessary lmk) or an Ipad pro/ regular Ipad for studying now (I'm in the last semester of 1st year rn 4/6 blocks almost done)?
Hey! I personally would lean toward the iPad Pro because you can do more with it. I think a smart phone would suffice during rotations so I personally would focus more on what device you can do the most with. I hope this helps!
@@EvolvingMedic thank you so much for helping me out appreciate it ❤
Does this also apply to Surgical Tech ?
I am not too familiar with the educational experience of surgical techs, but I think an iPad would be beneficial in almost all fields
Is 11 inch enough?
Absolutely! That’s the one I have and it’s perfect.
@@EvolvingMedic Thank you 🙏🏽💕
Can it really handle all presentations and notes for all 5 years of my medicine school and is it really accessible! To like reach every lecture like how the laptop provides
Great question! This will depend on storage, similar to the laptop. Some students (like myself) don’t download all lectures and eventually delete most of the ones I do download lol. But other students like to have all lectures downloaded and you can definitely do this with the iPad! I just recommend getting a ton of storage (at least the 256gb model). And it is extremely accessible. I think that’s why so many students like it. It’s easy to take everywhere and you can essentially get everything out of it that you would a full laptop. I hope this helps!
Now that campus will probably be in person are you going to take your MacBook & iPad to campus? I’m trying to decide between the 12.9 and 11 inch.. I have a MacBook Air, I’m not necessarily trying to replace it but it would be nice if when I’m on campus I only need one device that’s sufficient. Such a hard decision lol.
Great question! I only bring my iPad when I go to campus. My Mac essentially stays on my desk at home 😊
For the purposes of using/studying with solely the iPad on campus do you think the 11inch is sufficient or do you wish you would have gotten the bigger size?
The 11” has been perfect for me. I love the size. I personally use a monitor/Mac setup at home and only my iPad when I am away from home (or working from the couch lol). So if it were my primary computer I may have considered going up in size, but even then, I think the 11” could work very well
do you use Microsoft words
I do use Microsoft word
I beg to differ. Microsoft Surface Pro series is a much better product. Unlike iPad, Surface Pro comes with factory installed kickstand that enables me takes notes ergonomically. Most of the softwares used at my school are optimised for Windows OS. The possibility of losing your stylus on Surface Pro X is nearly zero because the pen stores and charges on the key board: th-cam.com/video/v5SFBpMiaiQ/w-d-xo.html
What’s the best for medical school?
I am a new med student but what is aki
It’s a flash card app that uses spaced repetition to help with memorization and learning
Anki is the app and Goodnotes has a similar resource embedded into it as well if that’s the note taking app you’re already using
Why not use laptop??
You can definitely use a laptop and I actually have both. But a lot of students like the portability, ease of use, and note taking abilities that the iPad has
Clicked so fast
Let’s go! Hopefully it answered some questions!
@@EvolvingMedic it did! ❤️
Money is the problem for me
That’s completely understandable. An iPad is definitely not needed to do well
I'm incoming first year in BSMT. Is laptop better than ipad?
I would probably get a laptop before the iPad if I had to choose. You may want to check with your school though and see if they are renting out laptops to you. Some schools give their students laptops to work on during their time there
Are you married?
I am 😊. To my wife Madison
@@EvolvingMedic Damn congrats man! how did u find getting married whilst still in med school??
Thank you Liam! And I’m actually going to talk about this topic in an upcoming video with Madison so stay tuned! 😉
What about paying for medical school?? Are living totally off student loans? I know your wife works, but how can single folks do it?
Great question James. A lot of it is student loans, especially if you don’t have a source of income. That’s why I think if people have choices when they’re applying, to really value differences in scholarship offers. But with expected salaries after training, many students who I have talked to do not worry about paying off loans
