    I started this semester very recently and I 100% agree on the material not being extremely difficult but rather the volume. When people said consistency and discipline, I don’t think I really took them that serious because I thought I was already “disciplined” but boy was I wrong. I guess it’s all part of the learning process.

    Since I was a child I wanted to be a doctor, either a psychiatrist or a pediatrician. However, the length of the years of training and schooling, the amount of tuition, and the brutal years of residency steered me away from the goal. I got an MA in psychology but medicine is always on the back of my mind.

    I’m 15 years old and I want to became a psychiatrist when I’m older it’s a passion of mine and I want to help people in need who are struggling with mental illnesses e.g. Adhd, I have adhd my self and went to a psychiatrist when I was 10 and got diagnose with adhd and started taking medications because of it and it changed so much in a good way so I want to learn about mental illnesses and go to medical school and one day pay if forward and help people who aren’t mentally/ physically stable. Thank you so much for making this video it was worth watching and help me get a feel of both negatives and positives of going to medical school.

      I’m glad this video was motivating for you! And unfortunately medical school is expensive. But the cost doesn’t have to stand in your way. The vast majority of students (including myself lol) take out loans to fund their medical school education. Don’t let the cost hold you back!

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  3 года назад +1

      I definitely understand! Costs can be crazy and super variable. But most students don’t end up worrying too much about the loans because you will be able to pay them off relatively quickly. This depends on things like the specialty you go into, how many loans you have, and if you’re able to live a bit below your means after medical school. But if you are adamant about being as financially responsible as you can, you’ll be able to pay off your loans quickly once your medical training is over. I hope this helps!

      @@EvolvingMedic I’m curious, what happens after we are done with medical training? What are the next steps?

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  3 года назад

      There are 4 years of medical school and then you have residency in the specialty you want to go into (i.e. orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics, etc.). The length of residency depends on the specialty, but range from 3-7 years. You are paid during this time though (just not as much as you’ll be paid after residency). After residency some people do an addition year or two of training (called a “fellowship”), but others end their training when their residency is over. Then you can go on to work (at a hospital, private practice, etc.) as an attending physician. You can see that it takes a lot of time lol. You officially become a doctor after medical school though. You just still have training in whatever specialty you want to do. I hope that that made sense!

    I really like this video and how you debunk and approve some of the myths about med school. I've heard some people say that the first year of med school is the hardest, so what's your opinion considering you're probably in your 3rd or 4th year now. (Also what do you think has helped you the most in med school)

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  Год назад

      I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I’d say the transition to medical school is hard, so the first few months can be challenging. But overall, I think the third year (or whenever you begin your clerkships). It’s basically studying a similar amount to first/second year, but also having to work full time. And now that step 2 is more important than step 1, studying during clerkships is critical. It can just be challenging to balance.

I started watching many premed/medical school student RUclips videos. At 36 years old I’m considering going back to school for microbiology and immunology. I recently bought the mcat set of books just to read before I make any rash life-changing decision. To sum medical school up would you say it constant new material or more a build up of new and old material? Have you seen any older medical student at your school so far?

      In terms of the material in medical school, it is mostly building a foundation of knowledge, which means everything is basically new.

      Hey! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my videos! I never took physiology, but I’m sure Lecturio has great resources and practice questions. You can use “EvolvingMedic30” if you want to try them out and get 30% off.

      I know that exact same feeling! It’s okay to not know exactly where you’re going. When you just keep putting one foot in front of the other, you end up at exactly where you’re supposed to be. You’re going to be a great doctor one day!

      I don’t think it’s ever too late to pursue your passion! You would have to fulfill the premed requirements, so likely getting a bachelor’s and doing the premed classes. But I have a classmate (2nd year med student) who turns 40 this year and multiple classmates in their 30s! Definitely do it if it’s your passion!

    Overall would you say med school is a good/bad experience? I’m pretty sure it’s what I want to do but I’m really scared it will be an awful time in my life?

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  3 года назад

      I have absolutely loved it! If you’re passionate about medicine and helping others you will too! It’s hard, but usually the things that are hard, but that I’m passionate about, are always the most fulfilling. I hope this helps!

    I’m 16 and growing up I was really interested in becoming a doctor, until I got diagnosed with ADHD and my self esteem became low. I’m really bad at math but I love science and psychology and it comes easy to me. I’m also really interested in medicine in general and for the past 5 years, specifically psychiatry. I always knew I wanted to help people and I also am fascinated by the human mind and grew up with parents having mental illness and later myself was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. So naturally I thought psychiatry would be perfect since it involves all these things I’m so interested in. helping people is something I need to do as a career but the only thing is I don’t believe I’m smart enough for med school and I’m poor. Does anyone have any advice for me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

      Hi Nikki! Thank you for sharing your story! The thing about a career in medicine, is that the main thing that matters is that drive that you so clearly have. It’s more important than what you may perceive as natural intellect or money. Given your age, I would focus on doing the best you can in school and just building habits of a good student. And that can help you get into college (maybe with a scholarship!). And then the rest will fall in place. So I think just focusing on being the best student you can be now, is the best thing you can do!

      Hey! I’m so glad I saw this comment because I’m in the same boat. I was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression and im constantly comparing myself to my peers because my brain works differently and I feel like I have to play mind games with myself to focus and study. This is my first year at University and I also didn’t really have the funds until my therapist told me about a program called vocational rehab. We both qualify since adhd, anxiety, and depression qualify as disabilities for their program. I applied and they gave me a counselor who helps me manage my diagnoses. I also wanted to tell you about their program because they will pay for the entirety of your schooling if you can explain how your disability interferes with school and you can prove financial need.

      It’s definitely not too late Jason! I’m only slightly younger (25). But I have a classmate turning 40 this year and many who are in there thirties. If it’s what you want to do, you can definitely do it!

    The people around you are not ‘geniuses’. This word is so overused, it’s lost its meaning. Newton was a genius, Wittgenstein was a genius, your mate who got 90% on their biomed exam is not a ‘genius’, they merely worked hard.

    I just graduated high school, and I want to go back to school to hopefully one day become a forensic pathologist. I haven’t even started at the university, and I am already nervous and I am experiencing a lot of doubt about the entire process in general because 12-15 years of school seems intimidating. This is probably my dream job. Should I push myself to accomplish my goal or should I just forget it? Doctors are a different breed of people in my opinion. And I have a devil on my shoulder telling me I won’t be good enough. Any tips for me? Am I overthinking it? Does everyone experience this? I am so confused right now.
