The 1st Year Of Medical School | Everything I Expected?

In this video I walk reflect on my first year of medical school. From imposter syndrome, to networking and even my own surgery. This was a whirlwind of a year to say the least, but it was a year in which I grew more than I ever thought possible.
I hope you all enjoyed this video and if you are preparing to enter your first year of medical school, congratulations! You are entering an incredible field and you will surely surprise yourself with the amount of personal growth you experience.

    Early or late to the video, you know I respect the hustle. Being out of my postbacc for a year has got me slightly nervous about hitting the ground running in August; good nerves I guess. Just tell me I'm going to pass and get the residency and attending position I think I want, ahahaha; wouldn't that be nice. I know for damn sure, I didn't come this far not to go the distance. I appreciate you being one of the GOATs of enlightenment on this journey. #KeepEvolving
