thank you so much man :) we'll see how things change in residency. still figuring it out as we go

Came across your PM&R video as I'm an NP pursing that field and decided to give you a sub/follow. Congrats, good luck, and you're almost there! Although I've never been and never will be in med school, I can share some of your struggles as well as your comfort. My ADN/RN program, although only 2 years split into 4 semester, was rough, but the 4th semester was by far the easiest. Just as you had mentioned, it's the final stretch where your preceptors have more faith in you because you're almost done and have that knowledge set in stone. Man, for me that was just about 11 years ago. 4th semester was so nice because there was less exams, less clinical hours, and more time for you to recover and prep for our NCLEX exam. Fast forward to the height of 2020 COVID pandemic, I was working full time as a telemetry nurse and charge nurse while attending FNP school. My NP program was 2 years, and just like RN school, the first years was the hardest, while the 2nd tones down quite a bit where the focus is just finish up clinical hours and studying for boards. Anyhow, good luck again and future congrats! Side note, do you have any plans to expand your channel to go across field boundaries? Would be awesome to see you interview other healthcare fields including nurse practitioner, physician assistants, and nurses as well!

You are so close to the finish line and I am 100% sure you will make a wonderful doc! Hope to see more videos from you about residency ❤

thank you so much :), coming soon fingers crossed

Hoo boy. I was accepted to MCG recently, I guess the same school you're graduating from. I am so nervous hearing about how it becomes so all-consuming. Doing my best to enjoy my life before school starts in July. I hope MCG has treated you well over the years!

Texas Children’s is awesome. I’ve been a phlebotomist here for 2 years and love it! I hope you got to meet Dr. Rossmann Beel! I’ve been lucky enough to shadow her for some time. Really interesting procedures. Applying to schools this year! Good luck on the match!!

Omg YES! I absolutely second the point about giving ourselves more grace in the process :) So so needed. Thank you!

Can you please do an interview with preventive medicine resident so others get more info and awareness of that residency program and career prospect. Thanks in advance!

Third year was the hardest year of my life. I was miserable. Even fourth year is rough in my opinion.

Hey man, whats your take on premeds going DO route? I got accepted into KCU but im a lil concerned about the DO stigma in the real world

@NDMD

one of my best friends is an MS1 at KCU and i tell him all the time the world is his oyster. KCU is a fantastic school that will open many doors, you'll have to work harder to match in certain specialties unfortunately but you'll be an incredible doctor regardless

I want to do radiology and I see it getting more competitive. Do you think radiology will continue to grow by 2028

@@smivlibee5936 Dr. Parisis, the radiologist I interviewed in my 73Q series is a DO and 100% was able to get there. Regardless of increasing competitiveness or not, there are few specialties I would say are out of range for DO graduates besides some of the niche surgical sub specialties. At least straight out of med school, of course doing fellowship route is always an option for everyone

I was mostly with residents, attendings, or fellows. Not remember meeting any but I’m sure they are nice there just like everyone else in those ORs!

Which MCG campus do you think is best for a married couple with a new baby? Which do you think requires least in person classes/ group meetings?

@NDMD

You will have equally as many in person responsibilities on all campuses unfortunately. The era of virtual opportunities at this school has come and gone. If you want a smaller community I would suggest the Athens campus or the new Savannah campus as they are more familiar with students with spouses and children. At Augusta it is completely doable to make it work but the expectations will be more or less the same than those without children

Let’s frikin go
