Hey there! I am a dermatology resident physician and I will be giving genuine advice about life in medicine, based on my own journey. This channel is for anyone considering medicine as a career or currently training in medicine and is looking for motivation, mentorship and real advice about the journey. I was a non traditional med student and first generation physician, so a lot of what I learned was from just figuring it out. Hopefully my advice makes your life a little easier!

If this sounds like just what you need, SUBSCRIBE NOW! I try to post every Sunday =)

    Thank you for the non-traditional perspective! As someone looking for a stronger support system for the journey, I was wondering how did you find your pre-health advisor and medical school mentors? Were you introduced to them throughout your undergraduate studies?

    This is so awesome! I live in San Antonio and just recently toured the med school he attends and fell in love with it. I’m a non traditional pre med student 32 years old, been out of school for 6 years just restarting my bachelors degree this semester. I’m a truck driver working 60 hours a week while taking 1-2 classes so I gonna have my work cut out for me. I can’t afford to take an entry level medical job like a scribe or emt so I’m trying to figure out how I can get non paid clinical experience on the weekends.

    Thank-you so much for posting this video! Just wondering, do you mind posting the name of your accelerated 1 year master's program? Also do you mind posting the list of med schools you applied to that took a holistic approach and weren't as heavily focused on undergrad GPA and MCAT? Really appreciate your journey and gives me the determination to keep going!

    Usf masters of science . I think the list of programs using a holistic approach has drastically increased since I applied to Med school so maybe just starting with looking at programs in your state & then nearby states. Good luck on your journey!! ☺️
