This is very interesting. I was very indecisive back in school, and missed out on medical school due to slipping in A-level chemistry just like Matt. I ended up doing Biomedical Science for my undergrad where I discovered my love for the basic science part of medicine. I tried to apply for a PhD with a 2:1, which isn't bad, but not competitive enough without a masters. So I took a year out and headed back to my home country. At the same time I applied for the equivalent of an IBMS conversion course, which I'm currently now doing. It's a huge workload for 2 years, just like the Physio MSc Matt mentioned, but I agree, the fact that I have a license at the end is so motivating, and I can't wait for placements in a few months. I'm not going to quit aspirations of doing research, but license first, so I can be in the nice position to straddle both clinical and basic science.
The quote “everything happens for a reason” brings me mental peace, I liked how you said “it’s easier to connect the dots looking back than when predicting the future” although reflecting on what you learned from a past event and seeing how that might help you in the future is valuable imo. I did see a ted talk titled “everything happens for a reason, and other lies I told myself” however I think that “everything happens for a reason is a true statement”, I believe it is related to the concept of fate and hence has religious connotations, but in my life, any memorable event that has happened I can as you say “connect the dots” and hence I believe in the statement.
That was awesome. Thank you for the guest speaker. I just finished watching the whole thing from here in Sydney 🙌 The impact you guys are making on social media will bring more insensitivesfor healthcare workers worldwide, such as work-life balance and more diversity, with people from all social economic backgrounds entering the healthcare workforce force. As a Pre Med applicant and RN 1 I was able to relate from various parts of this video. Thanks for the content :)
I found this video really enjoyable, I did some work experience in physiotherapy and I too could see how rewarding the job of getting people healthier and more active would be. I appreciate the honesty from both Matt and Kenji here because talking about your future prospects and financial incentives can be uncomfortable. I also appreciate the mutual respect that both of you have for your respected careers and that importance of dignity in whatever work that is taken on.

Hi Dr Kenji, quick question, do you still do mock interviews with students?
