Choosing premed extracurricular activities can be confusing, especially when you’re trying to figure out what actually matters long term. This video is about shifting your focus from just building a resume to choosing activities that truly fit you.

Many students think hobbies are just casual activities, but they can actually be transformed into meaningful experiences that strengthen a medical school application. In this video, we explore how a simple hobby was developed into an extracurricular activity by turning it into a teaching opportunity and connecting it with real learning. This approach helped create a standout experience that became a key part of the medical school application.

In this video, I’ll talk about what is expected from premed students during clinical shadowing experiences. While students are not expected to have clinical knowledge, they are expected to come prepared with a basic understanding of the specialty they are observing.

Sometimes you see a moment that just sticks with you a little longer than expected. I had a white coat ceremony for one of my students who got admitted to UCLA, and something about that moment made me think a little more about what we all have in front of us.

In this video, I talk about students in a learning and coaching program who often want quick answers instead of doing the work. They look for shortcuts, something simple they can apply immediately, rather than committing to the full content and coaching.

In this video, I talk about how a medical student should introduce themselves and communicate in a clinical setting. I go over simple things like how to speak to nurses and staff, how to learn people’s names, and how to carry yourself when you first enter a clinical environment. It’s also about making your role clear without getting in the way and just communicating in a way that helps you fit into the clinical team more smoothly.

Every medical school applicant has a story—but how you present that story matters. In this video, I’ll talk about medical school admissions and why clarity and consistency are important when building an authentic application. Learn how developing a clear personal vision can help you communicate what you stand for throughout your journey.
