Don’t ever stop making these videos. You have helped so many students including me through my undergraduate years. How you have time to record, edit, study, eat, and sleep is beyond me. Keep being an inspiration!
these videos might make you more money than a medical career. And you don't have to go in huge debt to post a video online and get youtube ad revenue or affiliate revenue from recommending products. Sad being an employee or doctor today just doesn't pay much. Don't specialists pay huge income tax? Makes no sense why one of the most important jobs medicine is so expensive. Seems backwards to me, if we as a society want a healthy robust healthcare.
Hearing you say the opener, “Hi I’m Jamie and I’m a first year EM resident” AHHHHH yes that’s so crazy!!!! This is the energy that I want, I’ve followed you for about 3 years and Im rooting for you girl!!
Thanks Solomia!
My greatest concern is probably the impostor syndrome. Some of my high school friends are also in other med school, and all the time I have the feeling that their school is better than mine, that they are better than me and that one day, everyone will see that there's no way I deserve to be where I am. I'm faking it till I make it, but sometimes, that insecurity strikes me hard.
I'm two years late but I hope you are still striving hard for your dreams. Don't worry dear, imposter syndrome is fairly common among med students but many have strived forward to become doctors and they've successfully made it. I'm pretty sure you'll do great too.
@@khriezongunuocatherine4954 thank you very much. This means a lot.
@@aliceachaves it's alright. I feel the same way too so I'm kind of glad that I'm not the only one
Medical school gave me free depression. 4th & 5th year in medical school nearly killed me. i atleast cried 2-3 times a week. and then i discovered bts and i became less hard on myself. i have accepted my fate with medical school. i used to say if i would ever go back in time i would give anything not study medicine. Now my view has chaged, because AMOR FATI. Honestly thank you bts. i am graduating next year spring
nice job on making it through!
Bts? Whats that
Korean boy band. Bangtan sonyeondan
Good for you... I feel like bts helps me too, all the time. I have a major exam this year and everytime i feel like giving up, i remember about how they went through a lot and where they are now. Such great souls, our BTS boys!
_plays Spring Day_ in the background
Aww it's so different in the Philippines.. we have to go to class because attendance is graded, and a lot of times we have surprise quizzes and recitations like we're back in high school. So honestly there's not a lot of time for other hobbies. :( (I only started my channel after med school during internship)
tapos may time pang magkakasabay yung mga major subjects magpa long quiz or exam, grabe walang patawad!!!!
DoktAuraaa! ❤
Attendance is graded in Pakistan as well so we have to attend the lectures :(
DokAURA,wahhhhh!!fan niyo po ako!pangarap ko pong maging doctor😅so thank you thank you for making your RUclips channel.
Same here in India
I’m thinking on going to med school but I just feel like I will sacrifice so much (relationships, my own family) and I don’t think I’ll be happy doing that. But I don’t know what else to do if I don’t study medicine
Fabiola Suárez I feel the same way I feel like I would get married later but I can't see myself doing anything else
Maliya Mcqueen I’m in a 5 year relationship with my boyfriend who is not going to be a doctor and I’m at the point that I want to get married soon..that will make me so happy and I just feel that if I go to med school I will sacrifice him and the family I want to built. But then I try to think of other job ideas and I have none. So idk what to do
Physician Assistant is less time and can still do medicine I believe
Fabiola Suárez try to talk to him about it and see how he feels do you want kids early or late?
DevAnimate ppl tell me not to focus so much on relationships and focus on career and I want a successful career but being a doctor will always be here but personal relationships with ppl are so precious and doesn't come easily this has been so hard for me
In the Philippines, we are required to attend class everyday because we have to sign our attendance. Taking notes every single day, going home then studying again. I can’t agree more, I’ve realized that you’ll be the one teaching yourself! Keep inspiring us, Jamie! God bless you on your residency journey. 😊♥️
So good to hear you went through everything I'm going now! The self studying is definitely something I'm working on improving this semester :)
Thanks Jamie! Hearing a lot of the things you said really gives me comfort. Thank you!
Hi Jamie just wanted to say thank you for these videos. I really want to be a doctor but as a first gen and with no one in my family in the field it’s so hard to get a grip of what I’m going into (besides the generic, it’ll be hard and long). You have given so much more clarity to me with your advice and vlogs! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
I'm starting my 3rd year of pharmacy school Monday and I wish I knew about Time management skills! Our first semester we had 18 credit hours and it was a lot to juggle. I gave myself 2 weeks to get on a schedule and stick to it. Now I say groundhog's day is good in my house. Wake up at the same time every day, sit in the same place in the library every day and study what I need to. Your time is so valuable in graduate school. You must know how to use it to your advantage!
Your voice is so soothing! I am starting medical school in the summer and this really was helpful. Thank you!
I'm so thankful to hear you can have a life outside of medical school. Being an older, non-traditional pre-med student, I'm already involved in things outside of school. I was afraid I would have to give that up. Thanks for these videos!
As soon as I saw your channel I just... cried. Thank you so much for your videos, you're honestly helping me out so much with my decisions.
I have some trouble with confidence etc. and was leisurely reading about a comparison of confidence/ feelings of competence in men and women the other day. The article suggested Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In, which I purchased online and it arrived today. I was just watching this video in prep for the upcoming year at med school, what a coincidence you mention something from the book. Anyway, love your videos!
Here’s hoping I pass the admissions exam next March! Thanks for all your videos, Jamie, you’re a huge inspiration ☺️
tbh I am a high school student who chose to study medicine, and I am currently studying it and tbh the amount of stress I need to deal with is just so hard to handle but I am encouraging myself and pushing myself through it since its my dream, plus don't stop making these videos honestly they are sooooo helpful and thank you for making time to do these great videos!!
Same here
random, but I always love the lighting in your videos!!! it's so calming and helps me focus ❣️
Your content is incredible! I have always worried about having time to focus on health, wellness and overall growth while being in medical school and it’s so nice to know that you do have time to do those things.
Thank you Aubri!
Ahh I'm starting medical school soon, and so excited!! Thank you for your helpful tips... especially during this stressful time during COVID 19
Thanks a ton Jamie. Those are some great tips!
I really appreciate how your videos have such substance. They're always factual 🌌
Hi Jamie.
It's been a year since I found your videos and they inspire me a lot. I just graduated from medschool in Mexico and sometimes there's a feeling of "what I'm doing here, I can't do this". I wish I knew that in Medicine the rule is that you're going to study for the rest of your life. There's always something knew , a patient that prove your knowledge , even Doctors with a lot experience have to deal with cases that intimidate.
Thanks for sharing your journey and I wish you the best!
Hey yo soy de Mexico y tengo la oportunidad de irme a Estados Unidos a estudiar medicina pero la estoy dudando por lo cara que es, como es la escuela de medicina en tu estado?
all the tips were great,,, specially the first one
thank you!!!👏🙏
I found you such an incredible beautiful human being, I love your hard work and ambitious personality 😊😊🙌🙌 I love how you challenge yourself and let us know about your progresses and new tips, love youu !!❤❤😍😍
Hi Jamie, I'm studying medicine in Egypt it's actually my first year . You have definitely inspired me a lot, I learned from you how to organize my time and put short-term goals.
Love you so much and wish you all the best ❤❤
good luck!!! btw how is it going and is it hard?
These are great tips I never knew that. Imposter Syndrome can happen to all of us all the hard work you put in can always shock you and give you doubts. Keep up the great work and good luck
I'm a first year premed student in undergrad and although I still have a few years I've been terrified for medical school, but hearing you say you had time to develop new hobbies and stuff outside of your studies made me feel a lot less worried for it. All this time I thought it was entirely studies with no time for much of anything for four years but knowing that's not the case helps a lot
Same here!!!
Just finished nursing school, just like you i found a lot of hobbies even i had to work full time. I wish i knew that im going to get my first clinical depression and how hard is to hide it and trying to study anyway. But now i know how strong i am and really happy about the decision to go to school.
Your RUclips channel is truly amazing and I think it will really help me reach my goals of becoming a doctor :). Keep doing what your doing!
This video is amazing! Thank you for posting. So much great info in here.
I agree!!
thank you so much for saying that i will still have time for hobbies while i am in med school! such a relief
i always thought that going into med school means that i have to get rid of all my side activities because in med school there’s no time but to study
I do not plan on going to med school. I just like your content and your message in your videos. I think that it is good info for college and other fields you want to explore. This is good information and advice on thinking things through about what school to choose!
Thanks Alicia
I wish I knew how much those who claimed they "never study" actually studied :/
I think statements like that come from believing that they’ve never felt like they’ve studied enough
I never had to study in K-12 but now that I’m in MedSchool I have to study so so so so much!
So true...!
They just don’t want to make you worry and want to make you feel reassured
They just want u to take ur guard down ..so u wont feel the need to study hard and they can get to shine
Happened to me during my first years
I'm half way through my 1st year of medical school in Australia and this advice was very helpful! Thank you for sharing
I am a dental student but your videos are so enjoyable and motivational.
Thanks so much for your videos Jamie. You've been such a role model and source of motivation for me throughout my pre-med journey :)
Recently, I've been hearing a lot about the hardships/challenges of med school/working in medicine with my friends who are currently in school/residency.... And while I'm super grateful to hear these things so I'm not blindsided later, I've been feeling a little discouraged lately. I was wondering if you might be able to make a video in the future with you and your friends/colleagues about the rewarding/positive aspects of the work you all do and the practical ways you all have managed your time or made career decisions to have balanced lives outside of medicine.
(Also I know you are super busy right now - so if and when possible^^. Thanks for all you do!)
Will definitely make a video on this! Thanks for suggesting :)
After a month I'll start my med school studying ❤ you and your videos realy inspired me and helped me to get there and make my biggest dream come true 😍 thank you sooooo much😘
‘Fake it until you make it’, nice reference to The Other Woman film!
I want to be a doctor since kid. Like a surgeon or anesthesiologist. I'm now 9th grade in highschool. Jamie helps a lot of this and it's inspire me a lot. I'm glad I found you.
Being a doctor is a very rewarding job. Helping people and putting a smile on there faces is what makes a doctors day. Being a neurosurgeon is also rewarding because I get to experience things first hand
love your videos! so motivational!
We share the same name! Very trippy when I clicked play! I loved this video and I feel slightly more confident in myself now to head into nursing school next year
Thank you for sharing these tips! ❤️
thanks Jammie really needed this at this point as I am going to student exchange programme soon , thanks xx
Your videos are so helpful thx Jamie , Ilysm❤
Supportive partner is definitely helpful. It has been a rough journey with having a spouse and lots of children. Imposter syndrome is definitely a hard thing to get through especially when some around me do not think that I am even a medical student or that I can't do it. Fake it till you make it is key.
You are a true blessing. Thanks
Im starting my BS in Biology and I’m married and 7weeks pregnant...So happy we’re starting a family now and not when I’m in residency. I will be done with med school in 8 years when my bachelors and med school is over, and we are definitely going to be done having kids by then because I don’t want to be so overwhelmed in surgical residency and coming home depleted to my needy newborn. I want them to get my attention when they are most dependent on me.
Great tips, very helpful. Thanks! 😸
This was soo good Jamie! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Mica :)
can you make a video comparing US vs caribbean med schools and what your experience has been with each type of student?
I’m only 12 but I really want to be a doctor I want to help people. So watching this video made me very happy. I really want to be a emergency doctor. I want to work in a ER and be in action.
What country ?
Did you get this from greys anatomy
Amy tell us how you manage to live in one of the most expensive cities in the country and still have your own apartment and off course med-school.
Any advice when it comes to cost and academics and how to balance it all?
Thanks ❤️ love your videos!
Thank you, Jamie !
that's an awesome video!! thank you and all the best 🤗😉💞👏👏
Starting medical school this fall! excited!
Omg i love your videos Jamie!
Can you do a gym/workout routine?
Superb video!
This video is amazing. Thank you.
Fitness, medicine and RUclips became my hobbies in medical school too.
i'm not even a med student , I got my bachelor's degree this year in applied microbiology and the thing that helped me get thru all of that was your inspiring videos , ,thank you soo much jamie , so much love !!
Bougrea Hala Congrats!
Takes a while to settle into Medical school and find your way of learning, especially in Europe where a lot of people have no University experience previously!
This video puts me at ease
thank u jamie ♥ love u
Thank you so much I am joining soon you have been a great encouragement
In Brazil, there are private med schools but also public ones that are totally free, even though they are really really hard to get in. I graduated high school two years ago and this is my third attempt to get into a public med school. I love watching your videos because they are always motivating me in following this path that I chose several years ago. Thank you!
its been 3 years did you get in?
Something i learnt the hard way was that summarizing big texts is the key to memorizing stuff.
You cant go through a piece of text without making notes.
My daughter will start medical school(Ukraine) in September 2018, I will tell her about your videos..... Hello from Jamaica.
Please could you tell me what A levels she did and the grades she achieved. Im thinking about going to Ukraine or Georgia (from UK) to study medicine.
where in ukraine? i study here and its a big mess. you pretty much study by yourself, and some of the teachers dont comprehend english well
Where is ukraine??
I'm Jamaican too. But live in the U S
Hassan Alvi Hi-I think I can help
In Romania medschool is super different. You can study for free if your grades are good enough( comparing to your colleagues'), but this can change from a year to another. If you have a bad year and your grades are not good enough, the next year you have to pay around €2000. They are quite strict about attendance. We are not allowed to miss more than one or two mandatory lectures per semester.
Very helpful video ☺️
Great vid 💕
I have had a interest in the medical field for a while now. Medical school, Pa school, and less likely, nursing, are some of the areas I’m looking into. I can see myself in all of these pathways-especially medical school, but being in debt to the degree of six figures just scares me.
Manny Richardson what did you end up doing?
Hello! I’d just like to say I love your videos and your whole channel! I’m inspired by your dedication and organisation. I’m aspiring to be a surgeon and was wondering how did you develop your decision making skills. I would be intrigued also to find out how you stay positive! You have a great mindset and I would love to drive my thinking forwards!
I really like you so much Jamie you are an amazing person
Top tips, thank you.
Thankyou for being my inspiration Jamie! 💖

*medical school is EXPENSIVE*
me : 🙂
My side hobby is music, art, and language. I love to read and I love challenging new languages. I'm starting on Spanish right now but plan to learn three more. I love piano and guitar but I'm interested in the violin. I also draw in my free time and want to be able to paint. I was gonna make one of these things my career, but I'm certain this is the proffession for me for I want to be in something life changing.
THIS IS SO ME. I mean I play guitar and sing a lot and do summer classes for painting but I also think being a doctor will change the course of my whole life tbh I just don't know if it's worth sacrifing for
Hey! I would love to see a video on the medical books that you recommend for various subjects...I don't see many videos on this topic and I still have 2 years to go with surgery, internal medicine, gyn/obs, pediatrics etc.
Thanks for making this. I'm 16 and junior year is that deciding year you know.
Can you please make a video about finance and student loans debt after graduating med school?
Could u make a video about someone doing a surgical residency and theim having time for relationships and personal interests or maybe being a surgeon while also being a RUclipsr or something along the same lines?
Hey Jamie.I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Is residency in the US also expensive?
starting med school next year...nice video..i hope it will help me😊
Nice video you are very inspiring
First of all, thank you so much for these very educational videos! I am just in high school but I would like to join the medical field. After medical school I heard that it is extremely hard to find an opportunity/position to do residency especially in your field of interest. I’ve been pretty discouraged and feel like I won’t make it. Any tips? Thanks in advance!
that helped me alot, im in my last year of highschool and im confused on what i should do to prepare myself for pre med
I feel really sorry for people passionate about medicine in the US. You're basically required to give your life away in exchange for education. I've always taken for granted that after school, I can apply to med school just like any other degree and the only thing in my way is the application process. Money shouldn't be a hurdle to jump to get an education.
We can always apply for loan forgiveness by journeying as a doctor to another country.
I will be trying to help out in Africa! Then you really don't even have to see money as an obstacle. :D
@@aera151 Thanks for mentioning that. Sounds super cool
Don't stop making these videos! :)))
I think NYU recently made medical school tuition free. You can look it up I think they announced this really recently.
Your videos are really helpful! Thanks to you 💚 this year will be my first year in medicine school. my school is beginning in september 17. can you advice some books or a website to research medical lessons?
I always tell myself to become a doctor, you have to be determined, study really hard, pray and also don’t care about social life like going to clubs and stuff
Another great video. 😊
Btw, what's the text book you use for emergency medicine?
I definitely have imposter syndrome! I din't even know it was a thing until you just mentioned it lol
Nice information. Thanks ^___^
1st and 2nd year i was so into my looks and outfits, 3rd year i was like fuck it.i cant rmb the last time i wore make up.
really my hope is to be medical student and thanks your video it help me very well
I want to be o doctor and all of this is encouraging me more
