Swimming with sharks: The experience that made me realize I was ready to start medical school!

Throwback to 2017 when I went to Miami and went diving with sharks for the first time in Jupiter Florida. Swimming up close with sharks was always a big dream of mine and I got to do it here for the first time. I remember getting back on the boat and thinking that I was ready for the next phase of my life. DISCLAIMER: The footage contains a scene where the camera man (not me) touched the sharks...

      @worldwildmed 8 месяцев назад

      sorry can you clarify? are you asking if it's okay to get an associates degree in public health? regardless, it doesn't really matter what you get your degree in as long as you find it interesting, you succeed at it (e.g. get good grades), and check off the premed requirements. In other words you can major in public health, sociology, film, etc. as long as you take your bio/chem/physicics/math courses as well.

I can only compare it to first two years of medical school and what I hear from my peers in clinic but it's definitely very different. A lot more independent thinking and flexibility in terms of workstyle/creative control, which I really enjoy. Some of the earlier courses for us had plenty of differential equations so be sure to review that if it's been a while!

I was trying to emphasize that it doesn't really increase your own stipend or personal benefits, but I feel like I undersold the benefits that it provides to your own research on the lab . Just wanted to clarify that in case it wasn't clear.

      I started at age 24 and am now 30 with 3 years left. I know people who started much later in late 20s or in their 30s. as far as advice, i think from what ive seen, older candidates tend to have diverse and interesting background and it's best to showcase those elements of yourself. in other words, it's not a flaw and don't think of it as time away from school and things that would make you a good candidate but rather recognize it as time spent maturing and exploring elements in life (such as hobbies, work, etc) that programs can appreciate.

    @patriciatorres5154 Год назад

    Please, could you tell me if your degree was Computer Science BS or BA? To double major such different requirements, I am wondering if you chose the BA route instead of BS? I know both are great paths and a great number of industries couldn’t care less for which one a candidate has if they are well versed with full-ended knowledge, but I’ve seen a lot of posts about STEM industries prefering a BS for their positions. My son was accepted in direct admit Engineering CS BS programs, but as he is in the pre-med track also (including BSMD offers), those programs are encouraging him to change his degree to CS BA because “it would be nearly impossible to finish all requirements in 4 years”. This thinking was not his plan and I was wondering if you could share more information about your path here. Thanks in advance!

    • @worldwildmed
      @worldwildmed Год назад

      Hi sorry for the late response. I think BA is probably better if it gives you more flexibility. I've worked contract gigs and received recruiting offers based off my degree. No one cares if its a BA or BS as long as you can work done from what I've seen. I don't think anyone will really care about the BA/BS if you have a portfolio or resume that shows you can get it done. and then obviously for medical school, it's better to have the flexibility when possible to avoid GPA killers or balance schedule with easier classes when possible. Hope that helps. just my two cents.
