Who am I:
My name is Zach. I’m a Resident Physician in Boston. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up, I usually learn something. Whatever I learn, I post it either on KZread or on my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/​​).
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/​​) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 4,000+ that read it every other Sunday morning.

    I'm in an Associate Degree Veterinary Technician program at the age of 36, and I'm also gonna do Pre-DVM credits to apply for the Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine program afterwards (not sure if I'll get into the program) but I'm definitely going for my goals. You're a big help for me! School is so different compared to my earlier days when we didn't even have online classes.

    heyy man! I study veterinary medicine, it took me a couple of tries to get in, and also when entering college I figured out that circa 70% of people didn't enter in their first try. its a hard path, so please don't get discouraged. also if you can, join the iCanStudy program, it literally changed my life.

Can you make a video on how to boost motivation? Thank you!

    Hi Zach, about 3 years ago you created a study work flow. I was wondering, how has your process changed since then? I am studying for a certification, and its about 300 pages worth of content. Its daunting, and I am not sure how to break down my study process.

    Focusing on University studies is very important particuarly college algebra.I thought I knew college algebra well good grades in written homework and written supervised midterms but the computerised supervised test even if correct in the blue book I did poorly.A warning to premed students dont think college Algebra,College Chemistry is a piece of cake because you did well in high school 20 years ago.If you get bad grade in college algebra you will have to take semester or 2 of liberal arts class horrible English Classes to clean up your GPA to get back into premed cirriculum
