I know that this post is from 3yrs ago. It was refreshing to hear a story like yours and to see that there is still hope. I am stuck and don't have any idea what to do. My journey seem so much worse...lol! I am in desperate need of help and guidance.

So did you do your masters program and then have to still do 4 years in medical school? Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

How didyou manage your finances? I heard the science masters programs are insanely expensive

Hi looking like michelle obama ,slaying gurl❤❤

This is amazing advice, thank you!!

It is so inspiring. You are so pretty . Is there a chance of img dermatology resident who have completed their training to get matched into dermatology? Please if you can help in giving advice in this.

Thank you for the non-traditional perspective! As someone looking for a stronger support system for the journey, I was wondering how did you find your pre-health advisor and medical school mentors? Were you introduced to them throughout your undergraduate studies?

Daryl is my friend! I also started medical school at 49.

Hey!! What was it like going abroad to volunteer during medical school? I thought I would study abroad during undergrad but it seems the opportunity slipped away.

My undergraduate cumulative gpa is 3.3 and sgpa is 2.9. My graduate gpa is 4. MCAT 513. Med school will consider my undergraduate gpa?

Needed this bad 😭 ❤

Thank you for your video. Can I mail you?

I live in Maine and there is only one Medical School here. Do I have a chance of getting in to one from a different state? I resonate with your story so much

how can i shadow as an international doctor?

Hi 👋 I know you may not see this but fingers crossed I hope you do. I just started my pre- med route and is in need of a mentor. I hope to hear from you. If not I’ll also reach out to you on IG 😊

Girl, you are the best for being so open and transparent about your journey, and even better for not giving up! This was definitely motivating. Videos like this help me (as an undergrad Junior) to continue getting things in order and preparing myself early. Thank you!

Excellent interview! I’m an older nontraditional student. This gives me hope. 😇🙏🏾❤️

I’m a biomedical engineering looking to go into derm! I’m nervous bc of low gpa and engineering school was flagellation 🙈 so I’m not sure if I can brace medical school and residency.😅

MS3 here. I resonate with so many of these reasons!!! thank you for a video that truly got me so excited (:

Hi Dr! I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and I find your advice so helpful. I always look forward to your videos, so thank you for taking the time to make them. I'll be attending the 2024 AAD meeting and hope to see you there!

❤❤❤

Hey girlie! I’m 29 and I’m thinking of going back to school for dermatology! Don’t have any tips? I was a little discouraged when I saw it was 12 years long.

What qbanks and books do you use as an incoming derm resident? Also, what did you prepare during your intern year to help with your derm knowledge?

I’m coming back to this video for anyone who may be watching this now… I followed the advice in this video and took on the same mindset! I’m now starting med school in the Fall after my SMP!!

Hey! Needed this story. I am currently going through something similar. May I ask what was the name of the program at the University of South Florida? or what did you get your masters in?

Thank you for this detailed explanation !

This indeed is so inspiring. You are a really awesome person!! Watching these videos make me wanna pursure dermatology even more. It would be really helpful if you could guide IMGs who are also interested in Dermatology.

I'm 34 right now (january 2024) and I think I'm too old to persue a medical degree. Maybe I should try.

Great video and some tips I’ve actually never heard before very interesting 😊

Do you have nights in dermatology residency? What are the working hours?

Hey! Thanks for the advice. Curious why you thought you needed to dual apply in the first place? Was it metrics?

thank you for the video!! it was helpful to hear how you did it :)

This is so awesome! I live in San Antonio and just recently toured the med school he attends and fell in love with it. I’m a non traditional pre med student 32 years old, been out of school for 6 years just restarting my bachelors degree this semester. I’m a truck driver working 60 hours a week while taking 1-2 classes so I gonna have my work cut out for me. I can’t afford to take an entry level medical job like a scribe or emt so I’m trying to figure out how I can get non paid clinical experience on the weekends.

Thank You

Thank you so much! it was very informative.

Idk what would be an appropriate answer for “why dermatology” bc most are going into it bc they have amazing scores and they can….. unless you have a specific subspecialty in mind like working with burn victims or oncology or mohs idk

If I could choose a major again, I would have studied Anthropology and History

What is the program you were enrolled?

What Master's Program at SF?

Thank you for making this video! Excited for interview season this year!! One question- when they ask of a time you failed, or a time you are most proud of, should you answer all these questions with clinical scenarios or personal scenarios, or switch between the two? Thanks so much!!

Thank you for share your pathway! It will helps a lot! 😍

Thank you so much for your amazing video, I appreciate this sooo much ❤

Do i have to apply to advanced program at thesame timeas prelim or transitional?

Thank you !!!!!

So happy to find your channel!!! I'm 39 and a background in education. No experience with science and math :( I hope it's not too late to still apply and be a doctor!

Thank-you so much for posting this video! Just wondering, do you mind posting the name of your accelerated 1 year master's program? Also do you mind posting the list of med schools you applied to that took a holistic approach and weren't as heavily focused on undergrad GPA and MCAT? Really appreciate your journey and gives me the determination to keep going!

Amen! 🙏🏿

Do TYs really care about where you're from? I'm from/go to school in the midwest. Are PNW and East coast programs not gonna interview me because of that?

Hey love your video, very inspiring! im trinity, im 18 yrs and i am really interesting in this career could, i get your emai or instagraml for more details on the career?

I’m just worried about loans as I would t finish med school til 34 if I went soon.
