  • I’m currently in my internal medicine rotation and and this video I show what a normal weekend in medical school looks like. Internal Medicine can be tough because two main reason: the range of topics I need to study and the scheduling. On most weeks, I have to be in the hospital 6 days a week. My weekends are usually spent decompressing from the week, cooking meals for the following week and of course getting some studying done as well. I hope you guys enjoyed in this video! Let me know if you guys have any questions about medical school.

      Could you give me some advice as I am a highschool student, how did you get in? What kind of things did you have to do in your undergrad year, like volunteering and stuff like that.

    • @okmijnokmijn1000
      @okmijnokmijn1000 Před 7 lety +1

      I'm from the UK so it's different then america (I'm assuming that's where you're from?) but (for uk uni's) basically make sure that you're grades match up to the requirements for which uni you're looking at, look up if they have any other entrance exams that you need to take (ukcat/bmat) and try to score highly in these, volunteering is great for personal statement and interview (anything where you have people contact, children's activities, homes for the elderly etc), we need some sort of work experience (hospital is great, but it's hard to get so if you can't get any, look at other places like special needs schools or carehomes or even a pharmacy/opticians). And make sure you do a lot of extra reading, it doesn't have to be anything too difficult, just make sure you're up to date on health in the news and find some books that interest you. Overall it's just making sure you know your strengths and what the uni's look for (if you've done well in the entrance exam, look for somewhere that scores that highly in the admissions process) and that it's something you're really interested in and enthusiastic about, and if it comes across that you're really passionate and capable to the uni's then they'll love you :) I hope it goes well for you and that some of this is useful, good luck! :)

    I have a lot of respect for doctors, it's not easy going through medical school. It's requires a lot of hard work and dedication. I'm currently in nurse practitioner school and it's rough too but my training isn't as extensive as your training. However, I've been on some medical forums that bash NPs and vice versa. I think we all need to remember that everyone's role in patient care is important and we are all working towards the same goal - providing the best care as possible for our patients. Good luck to you!

    I feel like we're the same person! I also have an interest in either surgery, emergency medicine, or OBGYN. I'm currently an undergraduate and I ran into the exact same situation in which my advisor let me take genetics and I was totally not prepared and ended up getting a C as well. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Jamie I am a nurse. I am enjoying your videos and it helps me also in handling my profession being in medical field. It really helps me how to balance my time at work and working out my passion. I hope you continue doing videos. I took biology course before for my love in medicine but sad to say I wasn't able to push it through because my father ask me to shift to nursing. And now I ended up being a nurse. I shared your videos to my friend who will be pursuing her medicine studies because I know it will be very helpful for her. Thank you Jamie. You're such an inspiration. Congratulations and kudos!
    Starting next month I was asked by our director to move to male medical unit. I know this will be pretty tough but I know I can do this. Wish me luck Jamie! Bye!

    Thank you for sharing your undergrad experience!! I’m a community college student trying to transfer to a four year and I’ve been struggling so much in calculus I felt like I was starting to lose hope. I’m a second year and recently figured out I want to pursue medicine as a career so your story really resonated with me on so many levels. It’s so inspiring to watch you succeed and do so well, especially after hearing that you were in the same boat that I’m in currently!

    Hey jamie,
    thank you so much for your videos and keep up the good work (in school as well as with your channel)!
    I'm still trying to get into med school (in Germany) and required to take an entrance exam in order to improve my overall grade, however I'm currently struggling a lot with the preparations and up until now I really felt as of having hit rock bottom, especially since I am extremely uncertain of what's going to come and whether I'll be able to make my dream come true...
    But your last words were really encouraging and gave me a lot of hope.
    Thank you so much for that! :)

    I'm new to your channel I was just curious if you have a job as well ? Because it must be super expensive to go to school and live on your own! Like costs of food, housing and everything! :) thanks !

    Hello everyone!
    I hope that you are well.
    I had a certain question in my mind for a while now and I thought that it would be better to ask it here. I'd be quite grateful if you could answer it for me. Is it possible for an international student to apply for a student loan in the USA? And it yes then what does the loan depend on?

    I'm not sure if it's okay to ask but is it paid work when you're at the hospital? like how do to make ends meet? or you earn money from youtube videos?
