There's a lot more to be said about this period of medical school. A lot of hard lessons learned that necessitate another video that will be a story for another day, at a later time. But thank you so much for all your support while I've been away and I look forward to finishing out med school strong :)

I studied with my cousin, but she spent more time on her phone than studying. Despite this, she passed the Step 1 test while I failed. When I asked her how she did it, I found out that she received help from Mr Richard.

Frustration can be a positive sign. It indicates that the solution to your problem is close, but your current approach isn't working. You need to change your approach to achieve your goal.

I am struggling to think of someone who makes better medical content than you man. The quality is at the highest level. Beyond grateful for you coming out to Athens to film such a meaningful experience in my life, and can’t wait to watch the next vlog.

Means the world man✊thank you for letting me be part of that moment and to help share that story

congrats man. I got into med school this year, and I now kinda understand the pressure. I've found many KZread channels that are about it and yours is one of them.Thank you for making these videos !!!

Step 2 and level 2 were harder for me due to a lot of changes in relationships around me, both health wise and status wise. My dedicated was also only three weeks due to being in rotations all the way up until that point. By the end I was so so done and so burnt out. I just felt numb. By the time I started my first sub-i, however, the mental accomplishment of "holy shit I did it" just elated me and gave me that boost I needed for auditions. Will say to pace yourself for auditions, interviews are honestly more draining than them due to auditions really letting people know who you are and your work ethic vs trying to make a lasting impression over zoom. Good luck! And live a life along the way ❤️

I'm sure all your efforts will pay off! I'm almost at the end of my first year (out of 6) in medschool and I now totally get what they meant by "medicine takes as much as you give it"!

Dear Andy, I am currently MCAT studying and I have a VERY small window to study. Thank you so much for posting this video because it made me realize how I need to work on my studying skills. Anyways, I aspire to be like you one day! This is my personal youtube account, but I WANT to open up my own channel with a video diary series when I get accepted into med school (bc I will and HAVE to). Thank you for being my inspo!! Hope I can meet you one day!!

Hey dude, I love seeing your journey to that M.D. You inspired me to make some content on my pathway as a pre-med and on the way to med school! Thank you and keep going!

What a grueling time to go through, but you made it! Yay and double yay!! Your return to "normal" life was quite creative - purging/displacing the stress of one supremely challenging experience by voluntarily submitting yourself to another - definitely something completely different! I do have an issue to bring up, which is that I was very disturbed by the inclusion of your companion's inappropriate use of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and I would hope that anything like that in the future would be edited out. Take care and keep going; I think you're going to make a great doctor.

it is part of his paid study schedule template with no real modifications. it was super easy to learn how to use especially if you are new to notion and i would say it is 1000% worth every penny. especially if you invest in it for both step 1 and 2, it helps you organize all your questions to get the most out of each question you do

I highly do not recommend doing it all at once. I always suggest now to take step 1 before core clerkships. Can you marathon them all? Yes. Will you want to? Absolutely not.

I am a medical student from India and here the exams are so tough feels like crying hard. In India they give us very less time for preparation we have to face so much anxiety and depression. In addition to preparation of medical school exam we also have to study for NEXT exam for getting chance in PG college

Have you done a video on what specialty you will be doing in residency? I’m not aware of any.

A lot of people say, if you can’t handle the stress then how are you gonna take care of patients? You can’t say my mental health ain’t good today so I’ll have to compromise patient care. This is not my words but it’s just something I heard a lot when I ever told studying step was stressful. Hope you have a good answer for this because I don’t

@rosalia7482

Жыл бұрын

I think stress is just a part of life, especially of those in healthcare, and it’s perfectly natural to feel stressed about exams. They are important. As a child, we were stressed probably about making friends or maybe fitting in. As a teenager, maybe it was dating or getting into college. As a premed, we were stressed with mcat, extracurriculars, getting into med school, etc. then med school with step exams and residency applications. Then comes residency and paying off loans, getting married, getting divorced, etc. It’s normal to be stressed as a med student and about the step exam. But please reach out your support system and identify good coping strategies. I didn’t realize I had bad coping mechanisms until I was in medical school. As you grow as a person, you will learn to tackle on more stress and how to cope.

@rosalia7482

Жыл бұрын

and if you know you are a highly stressed person, maybe don’t go for those extremely stressful specialities like EM, surgery, Etx

Not in medicine: Why did you have to isolate yourself while studying for Step 1? Why couldn't you hang with friends once and a while?

@NDMD

Жыл бұрын

You can, and I didn't. Those are lessons learned and a bigger talking point to the pressures many students feel as they study for board exams. Because there is so much information tested on these exams and so much of your career riding on these scores, every second spent away from studying feels like missed opportunities to learn and knowledge being lost. Of course this is not true, but these emotions are very common for students going through this period, myself included, and I want those who come to this channel to not make the same mistakes or at least be aware of those inevitable moments to best combat it with community.
