As a father of two in M4, I agree 100% that you should NOT study when you get home. Enjoy your life. When you're at the rotation, work your butt off and earn that evening off to spend with your family. Anki is absolutely essential and is great to use in downtime. I'm by no means a stellar student, but I can tell you that by following these simple rules, I've been able to dodge burnout and depression.
Is it possible to workout 6-8 hrs/week and eat healthy and still be able to honor clerkships in M3? I find my mental health and efficiency are closely tied to how regularly I stick with my workout/diet routine.
@@rutvin8763 it will heavily vary, and you will more likely need to restructure your schedule for each rotation. You could find yourself working night shifts or long schedules.
I can tell you from personal experience and that of my colleagues, evaluations suck ass. You can do everything he says and still get average evals. Being nice to people, working hard, and basically doing everything you are supposed to. 90% of your evals turn out to be how well you play the game of thrones and know who gives the best evals. In other words, don't beat yourself up on the evaluations. I know many residents that have told me it doesn't matter and even PDs who say that they don't even understand how to incorporate your clinical grades for residency since each school is different. In fact, we have the issue at my location that different locations in our region give you better evals. So, again, don't beat yourself up and think you suck as a doctor. Sometime the system just sucks. You got this

Internal Medicine is a specialty in medicine if you for instance want to be a physician who focuses more on decision making than procedures.

I hope I have been able to clarify things for you.
Shelf exams often have no relationship to the knowledge gained on the clerkship. Make time to consider independent study for the shelf exam particularly if an honors grade is desired. At the end of the day, always ask your intern if there is anything they need help with before you leave. Being a team player is an important key to your evaluation.
A. You're not always working with the intern; you're often working with R2/R3s B. It's poor structure for a resident to expect a student to do more than what's reasonably expected of them. If they followed up on their assigned patients that's enough. Med students have to go home and study for shelf exams whereas residents generally have more thorough understanding of their day to day presentations C. Many med students have difficult schedules that make time for independent study more limited compared to what their peers have to go through. Two students may be on the same rotation at different sites. Whereas one student gets off for the day at 1 PM, the other student is getting off at 5-6 PM with significantly more involved patient care that's taxing. This is why the entire structure of clinical rotations is extremely unfair. And God forbid the student has personal or medical issues in their life. That already limited time to study becomes even more limited.
All of these advises and concepts definitely help anyone who wants to get into medical school or those who are in their first two years of medical school
Does anybody else’s school use the grading scheme where your clerkship grade isn’t averaged, but is defined by your lowest score? So if you get a 100% on all your evals, but an 80 on your shelf, your final grade is an 80. Vice versa scenario also applies. My school uses this and it just seems unfair
@@murraysolomon4924 It makes me feel like I am an imposter. A lot of times I had no idea how I even managed to pass an exam. I am an intern now, but it makes me feel like a worthless piece of excrement
There’s no specific route for nurses. Take the prerequisites, crush the MCAT, do your extracurriculars and apply. If you really want it, you can do it!
@@alyssatalamantes2826 if you really want to be a physician then do med school. CRNA is great too but it’s two to three years depending on the program/location. Most med schools are moving to three and half years. Why not that?
No, for the vast majority. There are a few programs who use GPA as A metric, but they don't weigh it highly against other factors like Step scores and letters. Directors care more about Step due to its “predictive” nature regarding board scores (a program needs residents to pass the boards in order to keep the program’s accreditation.)
Honoring clerkships isn't even a standardized thing across med schools. My MD school doesn't even set a score as "honors". It's just the numerical score.
Alright. If u want to honor your clinical evaluations ask "how are u. What are your hobbies? Where are you from? Do you have any kids?" If you do this you are already 5x more likely to get honors, even if your medical knowledge is meh

Hey! Incoming M3 (also father of two) here, really love this post. Any specific decks you recommend for M3? Does it vary depending on the clerkship?
@@ALdawg1994 the Zanki deck is nice but I actually wish that I had created my own deck based off Online Med Ed and Amboss

Hi Dr. Jabal
can you do a video on So You Want To Be A Pathologist please! (:
i needed to hear this. I hate my clinical rotations
As always, sound advice. Ready to get into medical school this round!!!

That’s insane
Just finished MS2 about to take step. I’m kind of nervous for rotations.😅
It's ASTOUNDING how many people can't adopt these interpersonal skills

I spent the entirety of my medical school in the state of almost constant burnout... I still have no idea how I managed to graduate.

Good luck opening yourself up to abuse with that one.
@@tamikuru7936 I think you’ve missed my point
No you missed the point. The golden rule is a basic empathy tool. The new golden rule being pushed that you mentioned does 100% open you up to abuse
But how would you know how they want to be treated? You're not them. Therefore this statement sucks lol
