About Me:
Some of you may know me by my Instagram handle Fifteenblades. My name is Dr. Rola Rabah. I am a fourth-year Oral & maxillofacial resident completing my 6-year residency to become a dual MD DDS degree Oral surgeon. Follow my channel for weekly videos covering a variety of topics including residency, fashion, and health.
If you have a business inquiry, please reach out to biz.fifteenblades@gmail.com
Dr. Rabah, you’re an inspiration. It’s evident how passionate you are about medicine and OMFS. You’re also very discipline. May you share more about how you maintained your discipline as an adult (I know initially you mentioned that your parents were strict 😂)?
Thank you Donzell, I will add this my list of questions to address. I think many of us can relate to strict parents!
@@Fifteenblades As a psychotherapist, I find that a lot of clients who had parental support with productivity growing up have trouble maintaining it as adults without their parent’s assistance. You’ve been able to remain a self-motivated, disciplined, self-reliant surgical resident, which is no easy feat. Many people struggle with productivity and executive functioning, but you are proficient in it so tips from you would be very helpful!
I feel silly saying this as I work at an addiction service and don’t work NEARLY as many hours as you, but whenever I need a little bit of a motivation boost I always watch your videos!
Harriet thank you for the kind words. And thank you for the important work that you do, whether you are working a couple hours or many the work you do is important
Your story is similar to mine. Decided really late to do OMS. Now out for 3 years post residency and cosmetic facial surgery fellowship. Loving it!
What age did you start?
I am absolutely in love. This was such a nice eye opener and you are my current motivation to study and do my best because I want to become an OMFS. Thank you so much for this short and helpful video and I'm always excited for more of your videos.
Thank you Nadin I wish you the best along your journey
As a surgical resident, when do you think the right time to have kids would be, for those interested in being parents? Especially in regards to work-life balance and aging as a female. Also, side note: I love your channel and content :)
you should react to a greys anatomy episode!!! i would love to see an accuracy check of the med side and how realistic the hospital life is
She's an absolute beast 😎! An inspiration towards my grind to residency
She is absolutely amazing! But can we all take a second and appreciate her design choices 💚💚💚 love the chair and lamp!!
thank you emily!!
If it wasn’t OMFS, which surgical specialty would you pursue?
Good evening Mam, I am following you from past 2 years, You are the Best, In the morning I first see your instagram stories, You are my inspiration, Thank you Mam, Grateful to God that I Follow you. Keep Shining Mam. 🌟😊🙏
Girl!! How much more do you want to do!! You’re already amazing! I don’t know how you do it 🙏🏼
Thank you Rhea!!
Hopefully you will get to be trained by Dr. Rodriguez, who was fantastic ( especially with my family history of MH) on my emergency surgery last year). Calm, professional,humble and most of all reassuring that the MH would not be a problem. Good Luck in your training.
Really cool to hear your perspective as someone who is getting treated by an OMFS.
I am not a doctor and I still find this so interesting!
Thank you valeria!
I am just about to start dental school next month at USC. Seriously considering OMFS, so thank you so much for your input!
Could you maybe make a video about the process of opening a private practice? Pros and cons? PP vs hospital?
Will add it to the to do list!
Hi Dr. Rabah!
How much do you get paid as a resident? I know that with med residencies it can change every year and by location!
Finally, you are back and glad to see you 😁😍💓🌟
Thank you! 😃
You are the Best Doctor 🏥👍Stay blessed 💞
Thank you!
How to improve my application as an international applicant?
I just love and admire you so so much😭♥️♥️
Video about your journey please!
Will do!
you really inspire me, i'm about to graduate psychology bachelors degree and i'm so frustrated with how hard to find a way with this degree
+ i dont like it honestly
i'm thinking of going to med school but there are so many challenges such as my age "22 " and other stuf 'm lost
but every time i think about the fact that it could be possible to pursue medical school i get so excited 🥺💖 please give me your thoughts and advice
Most people graduate college at 22/23/24, you’re definitely not “late” by any means. I would say start by shadowing doctors from differing specialties to see if you can see yourself doing that as your job. You can also check out nursing programs, PA schools, etc. From there, plan on taking all the prerequisites and some upper division sciences in a post bacc program. You just want to make sure that the path you set on is what you truly want!
so inspiring , You look so cute and be happpy haha . let's enjoy your day in life .
Thank you!
I wonder after you have finished your medical degree after the dental degtre, can you especialize in anything in medicine other than OMFs or you do not have other choice except OMFs?
She didn’t, as she was accepted into a 6 year OMFS program, which included her getting an MD those first two years.
Yay I’m so early! ❤️ find you so inspiring 💕
Thank you Maeve!
Hello pretty .. just wanted to mention that one day you will make a great doctor , pretty wife and a wonderful mom.
Keep it up sis 🌹
Thank you Noor! ❤️
Just recently discovered your channel - you're so pretty! :)
Had no idea you considered plastics at first! I’m interesting in plastics right now
Could you go into more detail about what you do/what kind of procedures OMFS surgeons do?
I can definitely address this in a future video!
Re; christmasy cups from Starbucks. Christmas usually lasts till late February in Puerto Rico! So this is totally normal to me haha that said! Thank you for sharing the video! (I'm still at the start lol)

@@Fifteenblades I did enjoy it alot! Your perspective is fascinating, and you convey yourself very clearly! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

I want to know how can I tell if the oral surgeon did what I had to have done? I was shown paperwork of what they said was done but how can I tell
