And then when his friend was supposed to let him copy, his friend didn't. But then after the test results, he got a higher score. Since he studied for both parts. Lol. And his friend was so shocked.

Art I know your comment is already 6mo old, but I want to point out that med schools aren’t the reason for the physician shortage. To make a fully fledged physician, you have to be trained in residency. Training residents are expensive and most hospitals have limited residency spots. Congress hasn’t increased the residency training budget, which is where the bottle neck is. If we accepted more med students without increasing residency spots, we’d have a bunch of md’s who graduate with huge debt and find no job.

For me, the hardest part was actually getting IN to medical school, including MCAT, volunteer/clinical work, etc, and doing all these applications and interviews. As this video states, there are MANY distractions when you're in college. The college classes by themselves are quite easy (if you know how the system works), but as this video states, you do have to balance a LOT of other things while not wasting too much time in college. I lived on campus throughout college, and let me tell you, the distractions are endless if you allow them. I cut it fairly close when interview season came around, and I still consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to be accepted into med school on my first try (applied to ~20 schools, interviews at 4, accepted to 1 and waitlisted on 2 others). It was the most stress and pressure I've ever experienced in my life while I was waiting for that acceptance call. More stress than during Step 1 study, and definitely more than applying for residency. Once in medical school, time kind of flies because you really have no choice but to study every single day. Sure, the workload is insane (I estimate we would go through an entire college-class' worth of material in 4 weeks), but everyone is on the same boat and you only have to focus on this one thing, passing your classes. Luckily for me, my class was very supportive of each other and there were very few true gunners. Research isn't something I ever enjoyed, so I picked a field where it wasn't really necessary to find a good residency. Now, I'm a 4th year resident, with about 1.5 years of residency and 1 year of fellowship to go. The workload is yet higher than medical school, but by this time, most people are used to the "medicine lifestyle" and cope quite well. Looking back at all this, getting into med school was definitely the hardest and most stressful part. After you're in, the path is open for you, and all that matters is how much you're willing to push yourself.

@@cobra2966 By "the system", i mean what is required for that specific college course to get an A or A-. I got that down to a science for my classes by sophomore year. It's hard to explain, but as an example, i had an english lit class that had a weird professor who wanted extremely specific essay structures which many students struggled with, but i got it down to the T after our second assignment and aced the course. Another example is a physiology prof who gave exam questions that focused on extremely specific factoids and numbers from his notes. I made sure to memorize all that otherwise useless info to kill the test. As i said, it's not easy to explain but u need to make sure to focus in classes early in the semester (or with a new lecturer) because everyone wants things done differently. This is also very useful in medicine (especially during rotations) because a lot of attendings have very "unique" personalities and you need to adapt quickly if u wanna do well (or at least appear to do well). Lastly, always ask ur profs questions. 99% of them want u to do well.

You either know what you’re doing or you don’t! It is better to be fully rested but you either know it or you don’t no matter how alert you are!!! Besides, most of the medical errors that occur are not due to lack of sleep or fatigue they are due to lack of skill. But, you’re right, everyone does a much better job when we’ll-rested!

I enjoy watching your videos! literally binge watching them. (ill be doing pre-med 2019 year) and I am actually excited, thanks for all the information!😁

I have to agree with the cut-throat culture because I was former Pre-med and got a degree in chemistry. I still wanted to go, but the culture was too toxic. I hopped into Engineering, getting a second bachelors, and its much nicer because everyone works together. I wish medicine was like that. I feel that they are just going to medicine for the status and money rather than the journey learning about diseases and taking care of people, which is what I wanted to do. Media influences like medical shows has lots to do with it.

I... have felt this. I used to be Biochem Premed. I switched to Physics and EE. It wasn’t like I was performing badly or incapable. It was a combination of my entitled classmates out to cull the competition and my professors actively trying to fail me or devalue my work and personal worth. My former class went from 40 to 2 at my school, luckily those two men are incredibly kind and genuine.

My dad is a physician and the cut-throat culture hasn't changed. I feel that every action that happened when they were in undergrad has passed on after earning that doctorate degree. Quite frankly, people are joining a career for the wrong reasons like money, fame, recognition, etc. I do it for learning and exploring new things and ideas.

@N K This has nothing to do with politics. It's the way you treat others, respect. I do it on a constant basis. I don't do it just to be friendly or want to be friends. You treat people kindly because thats the way you want to be treated. You unfortunately don't believe in "what goes around comes around" or "what you sow is what you reap". I had a time in my life that I too once said that, then I paid the price for my behavior. If you are just the type of person that want to ruin people's days or lives and not sorry for it, then so be it. If not, have some humility. Good Bye.

Your experience, while sad, is not indicative of the medical culture as a whole. Sure there are some "gunners" who sabotage other people, but these aren't the majority. Also, consider the fact that most of them are insecure because inside they know they need others to fail for them to succeed. If you want to succeed in medicine, or in any field, be more selective when asking others for help. The best people to use as resources are those who have been very successful in the area you are needing help. Be careful of taking advice from those who are overconfident or those who are not vetted.

He is still practicing to this day and said things have changed. He still loves treating and caring for people. I agree with choosing the right people, but that can be tricky at times. Just all comes down to how well they practice and act towards patients and other people. Genuine physicians are hard to find these days. Anyways, I found peace in my field and actually have a code of ethics closely similar to physicians but for engineers. If I am ever called in the future to medicine, I will give it one more try.

Great video. Nailed the descriptions between these stages. Seems like a lot of your viewers come from different parts of the world. Maybe another video idea would be to talk about the differences between the medical systems between the US/UK/CAN/AUS. Similar but very different in terms of number of medical schools/seats available, training hours, routes of entry (highschool vs undergrad, DO vs. AP), residency requirements, length of training prior to full independence and income discrepancies.

Up until second year of university I’ve always wanted to be a doctor. Recently I’ve been getting a lot of anxiety over grades and MCAT to the point where I’m actually starting to wonder if I even want to go through with this path. I was recently asked “why do you want to become a doctor” and found that I couldn’t really find another reason than the general “I want to help others blah blah”. For all you doctors or med students, at what point in your life did you know for sure medicine was for you?

Shadow doctors and volunteer in the hospital and watch what doctors do. That is how you learn if medicine is for you. You can always take a lighter class load and spend as much time as you need to take the mcat until you get the score you want, so definitely don't let either of those things scare you out of pursuing medicine if it's something you'd passionately pursue otherwise.

I am not a med student yet, but being a doctor popped into my head multiple times over the years. I kept wanting to continue down that path but I was hesitant because of the student loan debt and difficulty. I realized after a few different jobs that I needed more of a challenge. I get bored easily and when I have learned how to do my job I'm normally ready to move on to something more difficult or need a change in environment. When I had this moment of self reflection and realization I decided to pursue medicine.

I'm currently an undergrad. Thank you for this video! A great help and gives people like me a lot to think about!

Thank you, I'm currently a senior in high school and I needed that. 🙏🏻

23/5000 I'm not in medical but most of my family does, including pediatrics, ophthalmology, and a Cardiology surgeon, and all of them said the hardest thing in their careers (some more then 40 years!) was telling the family that their son/daughter died.

Jesús Christ. Talk about a wake up call ... thank you so very much for making a video like this. So many are so broad or are mainly thoughts about the time period in their lives. They aren’t much into the exact specifics. I have such better understanding because you also discussed other options that are available during each point in your educational career. ! Wow life is just getting interesting.

It's really amazing that you're a doctor and already so busy but still uploading videos for people who want to become a doctor. And you're being such a big help 🥰❤

I just started learning about the process of becoming a doctor, I am currently a junior in high school, thanks for the tips and showing me what the future possibly holds for me, I want to go into the field of cardiology!!!!!

Let me just subscribe real quick, might need this in a couple of years... P.S. Wow, someone who also has Crohn's disease, and did the same exact thing that I want to do! I'm 16 currently, and I was diagnosed in December, 2018. Great work, man! Keep it up.

Currently in audition rotations. For me studying for Step 1 and Level 1 was the hardest while also wrapping up 2nd year curriculum and trying to get an idea for scheduling 3rd year rotations. To everyone in whatever part of the process you are in: YOU GOT THIS!

Wow, even though this all sound so exhausting it had very good informations. Thank you and keep up the good work.

My recent surgery got me curious about medical procedures and practices. It really takes a lot of brain to be a doctor, they dedicate almost half of their life studying and and practicing and with that I'm very thankful to all the health workers. Especially during this time of pandemic. I salute you all!! 🙌🙌

Im a Senior in high school who had no direction accept for a job as a lifeguard and a small interest in biology. Your Channel has inspired me to major as a biology student but also attend pre-med courses. Ive been a slacker all of high school (albeit a very intelligent one) but becoming an emergency or internal medicine doctor really appealed for me so ive stared watching more an more of your videos as i prepare for hopefully the start of a great a career in medicine next year.

Honestly, I've been looking at a lot of different medicine based channels. Yours is one of my favourites. It gives a real and simple run down of the things I want to know as a person thinking about entering medicine. And honestly, pre med is so competitive. Like its insane. Everyone is out for themselves. And I had a family friend enter med school, and on her first day she got lost since the campus was so big. I think she has to go to the laboratory for her class and so she asked this guy if he knew where it was. He intentionally pointed her to the opposite direction. Eventually she circled around, went to find someone else and made it to her class late. And it was in her lab class that she saw the guy. He was her classmate. Intentionally tripping her over. High key everyone is out for each other. It's really unfortunate.

I’m not training or thinking about becoming a doctor, i was honestly just interested in the steps you have to take to become said doctor. Great video 👍

I’ve been watching a ton of these videos lately because I’m a high school senior who has already applied to (and been accepted to) college as a theatre major but I just recently changed my mind and want to start a medical track. I know it sounds crazy but theatre was always a big hobby for me and I originally wanted to go into it but I’ve always had an affinity for science/biology since I was little and the idea of being a doctor has always sounded cool but kind of a stretch but now I wanna go after it. I actually used to play surgery simulator games that were labeled as for 7th-12th graders when I was 7 years old cause I was so fascinated by it lol. I’m super nervous about the stress and workload that will come with my training but at the same time I’m excited for what I will be learning

Tyler Obermark so I have the opposite problem. I usually have diarrhea (that’s how I was diagnosed, diarrhea constantly for a month and no infection). We also Havnt went over GI in school let (only second semester and starting with heent, derm, resp, neuro, cardio). But possible some probiotics may help but not sure. But with bloating it may help. If you do try probiotics make sure it has probiotics because i have learned that it is food for the good bacteria. I asked my GI about Taking it and he said it wouldn’t hurt me but it may not help either. It could definitely be IBS. I have friends with that. Right now the only thing I’m doing for my crohns is entyvio infusions. Oh when I started also they did the tests like i said normal stool test were negative and that’s why they sent me to the GI and I had my first colonoscopy (had 5 total now in 6 years). And that’s the only way they knew because even the blood work is fine. But I know they have the new test you don’t have to do a whole colonoscopy for the screening for it (although people like me that have it I’ll just have to do colonoscopies forever, I don’t think you can do that if you have it or even risk factors or it runs in your family). Also make sure a big thing is eat things with fiber. Fruits and veggies. Check nutritional facts and pick things with more fiber to help you move everything easier.
