CZcams recommended your video to me. I admire your work ethic, strong communication skills, yearning to spread your knowledge/build community and sense of humility. And great work bringing medicine out from hospital/clinics to youtube and social media. I wish you well in whatever you do.
I am a high schooler right now and I could not thank you enough for these videos!!! You have helped me so much. I hope to become an OBGYN so I'm excited for a future video of that hopefully!! :) Again, thank you!!
Hey Andrea! So glad you're back. Thanks for sharing with us. I'm sure you did awesome on your boards because you are so brilliant. I can't wait to hear how you did. Best of luck on your cornea and retina rotations. Keep being your sweet smiley self! Bye!
Really cool seeing your progress. Very helpful. Going for my Ophthalmology Residency Interviews all in September. Board Certified Internal Medicine now shifting gears. Thanks again!
Man, you're truly an inspiration! I'm a freshman in college right now and I've been pre-PA, but I've been doubting whether or not to stick with it because a bunch of PA schools are starting to require almost all the same prereqs as medical schools. But when I hear you talk about how rewarding it is to work with patients it really makes me want to stick with it!
Andrea, I matched into a internal medicine residency program this year!!!! Wanted to let you know because your videos have been so helpful during my journey!! I was so motivated and inspired by your videos and Instagram posts! Thank you!!!!
Can I just take the time to say that you are awesome? If I am half of the medical student/resident that you are I will consider myself a success. I get inspired to be better every time I watch your videos.
I love your videos! Your hard work and positive outlook on life is just so inspiring. If you're busy with work and study, it's totally fine to take time off youtube and not overdo it. take care :)
Hi Andrea! I know this sounds a little random and crazy but I would love if you just did a quick video about what you keep with you as a resident. Things in your locker, white coat pockets work bag whatever! I am super curious to know the small things that help you as a physician but also just lasting super long days in the hospital. Thanks!
Yay, so happy you are back! I've missed you, your blog posts, and videos! I hope you did amazing in your test (I'm sure you did). Thank you for trying to interview a neurosurgeon, and all the other amazing specialties that's you mentioned!
You are such a huge motivation! And incredible role model to those wanting to be a doctor! I've had so many moments where I doubt myself but then I remember what you say in your videos and it motivates even mo to get through all the obstacles!💕
Hey Andrea! I wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration that you have been for me! I'm only in my sophomore year of high school, but I'm very serious about pursuing medicine specifically surgery. Thank you so much for being so genuine!! Keep doing great things :)
Hey, can you please also add interviewing an anesthesiology resident to the mix and talk about how to become an anesthesiologist. Thanks for the helpful videos!
Hey Andrea ! I totally didn't expect to see an upload from you it made my morning 😊 thanks for sharing. I'm praying you did great on your exam it sounds intense but you seemed to have handled it like a boss.
I like the way you think and study. I decided to not pursue medical school but your videos are helpful in so many ways. The human body is such an amazing machine in so many ways and capable of so much. You are going to make an amazing doctor. The world is lucky to have such a smart and passionate person in the medical field. Thank you for the videos and for your hard work
You should do daily vlogs...so we can know how daily life of a doctor goes. Also, im applying for under graduation and the only thing that worries me is that maybe once i go into medical school and then residency, i wont be able to have like a family time or normal life with friends and family. this question is stressing me alot. please help :)
+Lubna Shaikh Not to hijack the lovely Andrea's comments or anything, but you should check out my youtube and blog (and snapchat that I update daily) - I'm a doctor with a husband and two kids and having a "normal life" is totally possible!
if anyone is wondering, if you like the question and answer format of studying, quizlet is GOLD. it is basically like what andrea has, but online. it also has it in many formats, such as games, practice tests and straight up flashcards. it's great!
You're so inspiring! Thanks for that video! This week is match week, so this is getting real! It's so exciting and terrifying at the same time to know that I'll be going through all this so soon!
Ohhhhhh glad you are back Dr. Andrea, missed ur uploads so much, loved this vedio, cud u please do a vedio on how you avoid procrastination at the beginning of a study session & how you stay focused. Please keep uploading more vedios, you are really an inspiration...!
Andrea, can you do a What's in my Residency bag video? That would be a great video! Also if you could show us your meal prep for lunches you take to work or what foods you snack on?
Thanks so much for the motivational video! I have to get back into studying for my high school finals after Spring Break!! I'm always looking forward to whatever you have in store for us in the future :)
Andrea, someday you may discuss the route some medical students take that help them pay for their cost of medical school and residency and that is the route that takes them into one of the military services as a medical student, intern and resident during which they are officers as 2nd Lt, 1st Lt and ultimately as a Capt when they become doctors. After residency, either in or out of the military, they has some years of service to do as military doctors. Beside their pay as officers I'm not sure what else the services pay such as tuition, room and board in medical school.
I loved this video! It's so interesting to see the progress through your residency and all the tip and stories you give us, cant wait for the next video!
I personally prefer videos like this...about your life, goals, journey as a doctor and study techniques...For ex. now, u have brought me to try your flash card method :) thank you Andrea, I like your channel very much.
I make notes in multiple pocket notes books like I have one for just haematology, one for clin.path one for intern med, one just for transfusion meds. Pocket notebooks are cute and it feels like I only have very little to study but it has a lot of concise notes. That’s my way of reading.
great video! always nice to hear about study schedules/regimens. For a future video can you do an interview with a family medicine resident? Planning to apply this year....would love to hear about what they like about it/the challenges. Thanks!
Loved this video, so inspiring and informative! Started considering Ophthalmology and would love more videos on specifics about applying, lifestyle and career in opthal!
I wish I could specialise in ophthalmology! I developed a tremor in my hands so micro-surgery and regular surgery is pretty much a no-go for me unless I take a beta blocker. I think I'm going to focus on internal medicine or paediatrics since I enjoy working in the hospital but not really as a gp
Hey Andrea! Were there any books you really enjoyed reading in high school or undergrad that talked about going into medicine/being a physician? I am almost 100% positive that I want to become a physician, but I would love to read more about other people's experiences. Your videos are truly inspirational, and I hope your test went well!
Hey, I just stumbled upon your videos and your advice is amazing, and then I saw you're at Mayo Clinic which is crazy because I'm a post-bac at Mayo Clinic too! I'm studying for the MCAT right now, I'm taking it in June, and I hope to matriculate into an MD/PhD program next year. Small world! Lol. I hope things are working out for you! :)
Hi andrea! Your videos have helped me so much. Right now I'm picking my undergrad I don't know if I want to go to med school or if I should go into research/another science field. The thing I'm hesitant about with med school is a) how tough it is, especially since I think I want an MD-PhD and b) that interacting with people is a big part of being a doctor. I struggle with socializing, as in I'm not good with keeping conversations... so I don't know if people would want me as a doctor. I'm really interested in pathology and I know it doesn't involve interacting with patients, but I don't want to go through all that schooling if I only had one option open. And also, I don't know how I'd deal with death! I feel like many doctors are these type-A go getters, and I'm not like that. I struggle a lot with organization and getting things done. But I still can get high grades. I'd find an oppertunity to shadow someone but I don't know any doctors and its not really a thing done here. Actually, I think it may be illegal. With research, the thing stopping me is job stability and oppterunities. I live in a big city but still, I don't think there's that much room for me to get employed and have a stable job.
Luke Snyder It's not like I don't like patient care it's that I'm bad at talking to people. I would like to take care of people. I just think I wouldn't be a good talker. +I don't think radiology appeals to me bc of health risks+ I want something a bit more hands on
+BBG That's a really tough question and I can't tell you what to do. Try talking to more people in medicine. Talking to patients is different than talking in other social settings, so don't count yourself out just because you are more of an introvert. If you love the science and research aspect of medicine, you could start with your PhD and then if you feel like you want more, go to medical school after. Good luck!!
+BBG I think by time you're gonna do just fine dealing with patients bcuz it's all about breaking the ice with the patient after you've done that u'll have a great conversation with the patient and am sure he/she is gonna be amazed by how you deal with him/her....i think shadowing a doctor and see how he talks with patients he sees at the 1st time is gonna give you a great advantage to improve your communicating skills and give you an idea about how doctors deal with the patient.
hi Andrea. can you please take interview of dental residents and ask all about their opinion of different dental resident programs. (prosthodontics,orthodontics etc )
Hi Andrea, first off I would just like to say how much I admire you! You're probably one of the most hard working and passionate people I have ever seen. That being said, I always have wanted to be a doctor but I don't know if I can go through the years and years of studying. How do you manage all of that studying and still live a happy life?
Hi Andrea! I love your videos, you are so inspirational! Can you make a video explaining how you make your notes please? Do you read first and then make them or do you do both at a time? I really struggle with studying so any help is welcome :) Kisses from Argentina!!!
I really enjoy watching your videos! It definitely helps me stay motivated. I am transfer student, and I do not have the greatest G.P.A. Any advice or recommendations for transfer students?
Ik you did a residency video before but can you do another video on life in Opthalmology residency. I am interested in Opthalmology and I wanna hear more about it
Hey Andrea! I love your videos! Can you possibly do a video about the process of getting into Ophthalmology and how residency is? I am also from Indiana and was wondering if you should pick a certain med school for Ophthalmology or does it not really matter? Also if you could explain the difference between Ophthalmology and Optometry more that would be great! Thanks!!
Hi Andrea, this is Bella from Italy. I've been watching your videos and reading your blogs everytime I felt overwhelmed, drained because of the massive amount of studying or discouraged. I tried the hotdog sheets method and it worked great for some of my exams but I just can't make it work for anatomy.. Is seems like it takes to much time and effort tomake an anatomy one (any suggestion?) I've also bought a white board since You said you use it and I find it quite useful! But what concerns me is that I am 22 and I am in my 2nd year of 6 (I've started a year late) of med school and sometimes is feels like I am not living my life fully. I am always studying while my friends are Traveling, working,enjoing life. Sometimes this feeling gets me. I honestly can't imagine how you make it though these years with a boyfriend and friends. have been dating a guy for 4 years now but again, it seems he can't fully understand me. Did you have a busy social life? How did you manage to pass the exams so well and have a social life? Sorry for the long comment, hope this doesn't bother you! Ps keep being this amaizing, I look to you when I need to find motivation. Thank you.
Hey Andrea! I love your videos like this! If you could, I would love a video with a surgeon (like a cardio or pediatric surgeon!) it would be so helpful! I love your channel, so inspiring! Also, how do you live in med school? Like money wise? 100% off loans?? I'm really scared for how I'm going to pay for med school in the future
Hi Andrea! I love your videos. You are such an amazing person. I would like to know how long it takes you to make those notes. I am just about to start my fourth year of med school and i tried your way of studying the previous year, and it worked well for me. But i couldn't continue studying that way because making notes just took a very long time. So, i would really love it if you could tell me how long it takes you to make those question-answer format notes of one topic. Thanks! :)
13 books , oh my God , i thought we will relax from study after USMLE . i really feel so disappointed especially im MOM doctor and want to have time with my child after USMLE
How long did you study for? Like when did you start studying. How many months ago? I'm studying for the MCATs now and I have two more months until I take the exam!!
First of all, You're awesome!! I'm a PGY 1, Can you tell me how much I should study when I'm working 70 hours a week? your answer has the utmost respect :)
what's highly recommended? getting married if you're not yet a doctor or getting married after you're already one? I don't think having kids while you're still in med school/residency is advised but I watched the video about family and work balance and she said that having kids during her residency was fine. advice? I'm still confused about what I'm supposed to do in the future.
I love your videos so much!! I've always wanted to become a doctor and I am on the path to doing so, but i want to ask how hard it is balancing your relationships with all the work you have to do?? I see you've gotten married and all that in between becoming an MD, so has it been difficult finding time for your husband? Did you take time off to get married etc?
I admire doctors. I know it's a huge sacrifice but I'm on it💪
I bet you killed that test! We are all so proud of you.
I watch your videos when I need motivation to study
OMG a 17 min video! This is honestly the best Monday treat ever!
CZcams recommended your video to me.
I admire your work ethic, strong communication skills, yearning to spread your knowledge/build community and sense of humility.
And great work bringing medicine out from hospital/clinics to youtube and social media.
I wish you well in whatever you do.
I tried your paper folding technique for some my classes and it has worked wonders. Thank you so much.
Question/answer format is awesome.
You are such an inspiration! I'm in grad school preparing to defend my thesis and also study to take the MCAT later this summer. Your videos inspire!
I am a high schooler right now and I could not thank you enough for these videos!!! You have helped me so much. I hope to become an OBGYN so I'm excited for a future video of that hopefully!! :) Again, thank you!!
Hey Andrea! So glad you're back. Thanks for sharing with us. I'm sure you did awesome on your boards because you are so brilliant. I can't wait to hear how you did. Best of luck on your cornea and retina rotations. Keep being your sweet smiley self! Bye!
+K Carter Thank you!!!
I get really happy when i wake up in the morning and see that youve made a new video :) I kick back, relax and enjoy your videos
Really cool seeing your progress. Very helpful. Going for my Ophthalmology Residency Interviews all in September. Board Certified Internal Medicine now shifting gears. Thanks again!

I love how you make time frames for the topics you discuss in your videos. It's a simple thing but it makes a big difference. Thank you!!
+OcularAMVs Glad you liked that! I will try to do it for all my videos from now on!
I love your videos! Your hard work and positive outlook on life is just so inspiring. If you're busy with work and study, it's totally fine to take time off youtube and not overdo it. take care :)

im sorry but why in a gods name would you ask a resident to daily vlog? you do know (if you watch Andrea's vlogs), how much work do they have!
Andrea, can you do a meals prep video? Like about what you take to work to eat and how you plan and make meals at home ?
if anyone is wondering, if you like the question and answer format of studying, quizlet is GOLD. it is basically like what andrea has, but online. it also has it in many formats, such as games, practice tests and straight up flashcards. it's great!

You're amazing Andrea! I admire you so much, you are dedicated to practicing as well as being so helpful to us. Thanks for everything :)

Can you please interview Mayo Clinic medical students and do a video about how specifically to get into Mayo Clinic Medical school please?
Yes definitely!!!
Andrea Tooley Thanks a lot dear.
Maybe you can do it as a series so one student per week or something like that.
Can/have you done a video on studying for the MCAT? if not, that would be great. Love your videos
That binder contains more than my life's work
hi Andrea. can you please take interview of dental residents and ask all about their opinion of different dental resident programs. (prosthodontics,orthodontics etc )
I love all your videos. thank you for your time . I appreciate your effort.
Love your video's Andrea! How old were you when you started medical school?
+Kaynen Brown I was 22 :-)
Truly inspiring work! ENT residency soon and balancing CZcams as well, do you have any advice for having feet in both worlds?
Thanks for your work
thanks so much ! it helped alot!!

You are awesome thank you
Wish you all the best for your exams results
I want to know about neuromedicine if possible please
Thanks again
I like your video .. can you do a video about radiology resident and how to study for it .
Hi Andrea! I love your videos. You are such an amazing person.
I would like to know how long it takes you to make those notes.
I am just about to start my fourth year of med school and i tried your way of studying the previous year, and it worked well for me. But i couldn't continue studying that way because making notes just took a very long time.
So, i would really love it if you could tell me how long it takes you to make those question-answer format notes of one topic.

Hey Andrea! Thank you for all that you do. You are so inspiring 💗 Would it be possible if you can interview a naturopathic Doctor?
Can you please do a video on sports medicine physicians and whether its hard to assigned to professional team such as the nba
Andrea what is the best advice you can give me for pharmacology for an OMS1?
Thank you and keep up the awesome videos, everyone at VCOM loves you
You remind me of the doctor version of grace helbig.

i really feel so disappointed especially im MOM doctor and want to have time with my child after USMLE
you are so awesome!!!!!!
How long did you study for? Like when did you start studying. How many months ago? I'm studying for the MCATs now and I have two more months until I take the exam!!
First of all, You're awesome!!
I'm a PGY 1, Can you tell me how much I should study when I'm working 70 hours a week?
your answer has the utmost respect :)
very nice video... I have a question.. Does this apply to long answer type questions also? Because our exam system is not MCQ type. It's essay type.
what's highly recommended? getting married if you're not yet a doctor or getting married after you're already one? I don't think having kids while you're still in med school/residency is advised but I watched the video about family and work balance and she said that having kids during her residency was fine. advice? I'm still confused about what I'm supposed to do in the future.
Can you please do a video about pharmacy?
I love your videos so much!! I've always wanted to become a doctor and I am on the path to doing so, but i want to ask how hard it is balancing your relationships with all the work you have to do?? I see you've gotten married and all that in between becoming an MD, so has it been difficult finding time for your husband? Did you take time off to get married etc?
