If you guys have any study tips - please share it in the comments! It’s always nice to learn from one another 😊
I was wondering what’s your official Instagram account.
I linked it in the description box! But it’s @dr.jennale
Why have you chosen Family Medicine? I'm a F. M. resident in Romania... Here Family Medicine is not seen with good eyes, is not seen like a medical speciality. Now I'm so dissapointed that I don't know that I should go on with my choice.... :(
It is much different here in the US. I went into family medicine because I really wanted continuity of care and I love developing relationships with patients. Family medicine is never boring because:
- I see children, pregnant moms, grandparents all in the same day!
- I can do procedure like joint injections, biopsies, laceration repairs and much more.
- I’m also very interested in women’s health and I am able to do paps and put in or remove IUDs/nexplanons.
- There are also many available fellowships such as high risk OB, emergency medicine, palliative care, Hospitalist, sports medicine, and much more!
These are just a few reasons why I chose family medicine and why I love it as a specialty. Do your due diligence, do what’s best for your patients, work them up properly. Other physicians (your colleagues) respect you as a good doctor.
@@drjennale You are right...it's very different in US. I've chosen this speciality for the same reasons, but here you can't make intra- articular injections or OG, you have to send the patient "to the expert". You can't make a lot of things because the patient himself thinks that you are not good enough for treating him well and your collegues also... 😔 It's frustrating, but I'm not gonna give up! Maybe I'll go in another country to practice and I'll solve the problem, we'll see! Thank you for your answer and good luck! ♥️
I’m not even on the med school route (going PA route) but I still watch your videos because your tips help everyone! thank you :)
Yay I’m so glad!! Do you know what speciality you want to work in?
Jenny Le Most likely, dermatology or plastic surgery! :)
Good choices! I’ve seen a lot of plastics PA that have a lot of autonomy.
Hi,
thanks for this video! I’m currently in the third year of medical school (in my country we have 6 years). tomorow I’m having my pathology exam, so it’s really nice to listen to your calming voice right now :D
Thank you for your positivity and passion for medicine, you have helped me a lot to stay motivated and to see the bigger picture. Your videos remind me why I went to med school at the first place :)
It’s also great to see doctor-mom here on youtube. I’ve been married for 3 years now and want to have a kiddo in not so far future. Seeing that it’s possible to balance medicine and family is wonderful! 🤩
You’re very inspiring person and great mom, keep going strong!
Lots of Love from Czech Republic! ❤️
I’m glad I could help ❤️ good luck on your exam tomorrow 💪🏼👩🏻⚕️
Jenny Le thanks! 😍
right now i am in college, but i really love doing my notes beforehand like that i can really focus on lecture and i’ll be able to write any additional notes on the side if my professor says something that wasn’t on the powerpoint but may be on the exam. a way that i remember material is by teaching it! sometimes i’ll have my sister or my boyfriend as an audience and i will “teach” them, and i feel more confident on the subject. i agree with getting enough sleep before an exam! getting enough sleep helps me stay awake during the exam, and my attitude is more positive than negative as well! 😁 btw i look up to you! thank you for being an amazing role model!
I’ve tried teaching Stan pharmacology and he would literally be falling asleep while I was talking to him 😂 but yes! Those tips are awesome! I did those things too.
Loving the consistency Jenny! xx
Thanks for watching!
I was really stressed because of waiting for my med school results until i watched this video .... that remembers me why i went into med school and why i love medicine
Thank you ❤❤
We all struggle from time to time. Hang in there! 💪🏼
Thank you! Youve helped me get an A in Anatomy & Physiology with constant practice questions & I remember you had said to review the wrong answers in practice questions and figure out why thats not the answer...so thank you 😊🙌🏽 All the best in your upcoming endeavors 💕
That’s so amazing!! 💪🏼 glad I could help 😊
Jenny, I just have to say that you are looking gorgeous with this pregnancy. You absolutely glow! Baby Wyatt was so adorable!
Thank you 😬 I keep looking back and videos and it’s so crazy to see how much he’s grown!
Im in pharmacy school, starting to shadow residents present journal clubs. The way you explain the difference in studying as transitioning is so on point! Great video Jenny!
I hope you’re enjoying shadowing residents 😬
I agree about learning during clinical practice- I’m a new ICU nurse and I feel like most of my learning comes from hands on practice and patient encounters. I’m even more motivated to learn when I look around me and see nurses who are so experienced and talented. And a HUGE yes as well to doing practice questions for exams, that is what I focused on most for my boards.
That’s for sharing your experience! As a resident I also learn from experienced nurses! Lol
So glad I found u I’m a med student doing my final year n u r just a inspiration to me and ur skin 🤭🤭🤭🤭🌸🌸🌸🌸ur amazing
Thanks! The pregnancy is probably helping 😅
Jenny I love u been looking for ur videos last saw ur adding video congratulations on baby nr two 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Baby #2 is about to come!! 👶🏻❤️ very excited to share this new experience with you guys
It takes me too many hours after each question block to review. I take forever 😢
I do too!! Studies have shown that the people who do more question and review them do better on exams. I think I did close to 10k Questions by the time I took step 1
Thank you for sharing. It was kind of you.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Jenny Le so solving practice questions boosts score results? Because I study really hard and *try* to memorize everything, and my exam scores are not as high as I want.. what do you think might be my problem here?
Jenny Le you're welcome ❤️
I'm taking medical billing and coding course . Your vids are helpful for me to study.
If you notice that you keep getting a certain topic wrong, I would go back and relearn the material from that section. Try to understand the material rather than brute memorization. You’ll have better long term retention that way.
I love this video!! ❤️ And btw your highlighter is stunning today girl
Thank you! 😊 it’s Becca champagne pop
Your belly in the thumbnail 😍
Thanks for posting!
Baby #2 is ready!! 😂
Reviewing new information within 24 hours increases retention by like 85%
I have to review things 4-5 times 😭
@@drjennale the study on which that statement is based was not to imply one must only review that one time. Instead, it sought to emphasize the importance of the first 24 hours
How much sleep do you need? Like how many hours the study is suggesting?
Nice video 👍 What qbank did you find most helpful in family medicine residency??
Depends on your style. I used ComBank but a lot of my colleagues liked UWorld. I think both are good.
Tyrone Jackson you made me laugh 😂 if u really think so then be more specific tell her why u think its shitty and what wld u wish she mentions ??
Jenny Le thanks alot , i have tried the uworld and enjoyed it very much
Your skin looks amazing! I was wondering, as DO, how did study for both Step and Comlex and how did you decide which one to take first etc. Thank you!
Thanks! I don’t think this will apply to future graduating students with the merger. All programs are accepting both STEP and COMLEX scores. But students who were planning on going into surgery, ortho, ophthalmic, ENT, radiology, anesthesia, etc usually took book. Lots of my friend who match ED said they only too COMLEX and had no issues. I would recommend UWorld questions for STEP 1 and ComBank for COMLEX just because the question styles are specific towards each test.
@@drjennale Thanks for replying and for all the info! I am hopeful about the merger for sure! I think some of us have some anxieties that some previously allopathic residencies are more familiar with the step scores and might favor step scores. But it's very good to hear that a lot of people only took comlex with no issues esp as I am not interested in specializing!
I know (at least in my class) everyone applying FM or IM only took COMLEX and had no issues matching.
Nice!
yaaaay been waiting !
Hope you found the tips helpful!
@@drjennale I did, thanks.
@@drjennale Can i know if you can be a generalist in the US (practice medicine after passing Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 without getting into residency later)? All of you seem to pursue a residency program after your MD. Are you obligated to be a specialist or is it a choice? Thanks.
Even general practitioners have to complete at least a 3 year residency before they can practice medicine. Specialist training is an additional 1-6+ years
Totally what I needed since I start residency in less than a month (aaaaaahhhh)
Ahhhh congratulations!! It’s going to be so different (better different)
@@drjennale I sure hope so!! :)
100% better than med school guaranteed!
@@drjennale yasss
Hi im so impressed with ur efforts i cant find ur insta ? Good luck
It’s @dr.jennale
Hey!! Jenny love your videos!! Can you please tell us what contacts do you use? And how do u manage them through the day?
I use the soft colored contacts called Fresh Look in pure Hazel. I just put them in in the morning before I do my makeup. And take them out before bed. They’re pretty comfortable and I don’t find them drying. If they become a little dry then I’ll just take them off a little earlier.
Jenny Le means they don't have number prescription? And how to do u handle labwork with them on? Or more like we rotations?
They are prescription contacts. I’ve worn these since college. Working in a lab and long clinical hours. Never had an issue.
Jenny Le Thank you soooooo much! And hope Wyatt and all your family have a healthy life! Keep making more videos! You inspire me to be a good doctor!! Love your videos
nice live-action shots and always take breaks
Just curious, do 3rd and 4th year med students do radiology rotations?
I did a radiology rotation my third year! Very useful
Jenny Le Cool! Thank you for replying :)
👩🏻⚕️👍🏼
Do u read explanations for every answer choice not only the correct one and your wrong one?
Yes!
Jenny Le that will take 3 hours just to go over a block. Right?
Thank you for taking time to reply!
It can definitely take a while. Especially if they’re thorough and take notes! I find that reviewing the answers always took longer than the actual practice test itself
And no response to that means no empathy and SHOUDNT be doctor I'll never able open eyes barely or hold head up but that's least of it god damn
