Medical school is a constant learning process. When students move from pre-med into medical school, the way they learn changes a lot, and it can feel overwhelming at first. In this video, we talk about why it’s normal to feel uncertain during early medical school training and patient experiences, and how to adjust to this shift. The main idea is learning to stay in a continuous learner mindset throughout medical school.

In this video, I talk about what can happen when you start doing better in your life or studies. I share a coaching conversation I had with a medical student and reflect on how things can change socially when someone starts to improve or excel. In premed or academic setting, you may notice that people don’t always act the same when you start excelling, and that can feel a bit different at first.

Most students struggle with their medical school personal statement not because they can’t write well, but because they don’t have a clear sense of direction or a theme behind what they’re writing.

15.07.26 — after an exam (and looking ahead)

studied four hours today. flunked an exam earlier this week, so I'll be retaking it in September🙃. there's another exam tomorrow that I don't feel ready for. my body is just worn out from constant studying with no real break. every part of me feels heavy.

📚 midnight study:

trying for two more hours around midnight. that's genuinely all I can make myself do at this point. my brain feels slow,my focus is patchy, but Im hopping something is better than nothing.

🎧 listening: Tabber- Like A Vampire (hearing it on repeat so it's basically just background static at this point, but silence feels worse.)

🍵 drink:cold barley tea with a slice of lemon. warm drinks require too much effort right now. this is easy, and I don't have to think about it.

already thinking about jobs and internships. medical internships are scarce and extremely competitive. research opportunities feel just as out of reach tbh you need connections, a name, a CV that stands out, and I don't have any of that yet. the thought of cold-emailing professors or putting together applications is literally making my stomach drop. it's intimidating, but I know I'll have to start somewhere. not tonight though. tonight is just about getting through to tomorrow.

if you're retaking an exam, exhausted down to the bone, or anxious about the future just know you're not alone in it.

This video is for Premeds who are going through tough study phases and wondering if they should keep going when things feel hard.

It’s based on a conversation with my student about what it feels like to struggle academically, feel like you’re behind other students, and believe you have to work harder than everyone else just to keep up.

The discussion reflects on those experiences and why pushing through difficult moments still matters, even when it feels hard.

In this video, I’ll talk about why memorization alone may not be enough for complex exams, especially when questions require understanding and application rather than simple recall. Many students run into the situation where they feel like they knew the material while studying but struggle to remember it during the test.
