Good luck in med school everyone! Did you find this video helpful? If so, you'll love my weekly newsletter. Check it out here: medschoolinsiders.com/newsletter
Just about to start my second year in med school and please let me tell you, ALL OF THESE TIPS ARE WHAT I LEARNED AFTER GOING THROUGH 1 WHOLE YEAR!!!!! I wish there was this video last summer to let me know but all of this is literally the stuff i advise my 1st year mentees. Me personally, i didn't switch my schedule to a regular routine and kept up the undergrad irregular schedule until my second semester. That lead me to skipping meals, not working out, eating tons of fast food and ended up destroying my physical health. Take all of the tips in this video to heart as they are literally GOLDEN!!! Good luck to all you first years, yall are gonna do great!!
Perfect timing for such a great video! I start medical school in exactly one month, but in the meantime my med school enrolled me in a pre-matriculation program that helps students transition to the rigorous coursework by giving us exposure to material we'll be seeing throughout the year (most of us took gap years). Just in the first week of this program, I studied WAY more than I ever did in undergrad, and quickly realized that I'll have to drastically alter my study habits. I'm still working on it, but I think I'm finding my groove, which I'm so happy to find HAS to involve taking care of myself in ways like working out, going for walks in this lovely city, and engaging in social activities. Keep these videos coming, I'm sure I'll lean on them heavily throughout my medical school career
Dr. Jubbal this video is perfect! I’ve watched your videos since junior year of college and they helped me tremendously. Now, as an entering M1, I couldn’t be more grateful. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video. I started med school last week and was immediately thrown into the deep end of the pool. In a nutshell, 100+ pages of "weekly" reading material (which will continue over subsequent years), assignments, group activities and practice tests, all in a single week. It is definitely overwhelming and fast-paced, and I am enjoying the challenging process as well. The only problem is that my sleep is suffering in the process. The workload is simply too much and if you fall behind, you are at risk of failing the monthly assessed quizzes and end of semester finals. So it's a tricky situation; if only I could find the key to balancing my studies with sleep, I would be the happiest med student in the world.
I absolutely love your channel! I really need it because in two weeks I have my exam for getting into med school and this is really motivating me to get into it and finally enjoy this life
Really nice video ! Will be starting med school in 2 months a this is what I needed. I started with my new habits already so it will become a regular rutine once I start the school.
I'm relatively young (middle school) and I've pretty recently have a passion for medicine. As a middle school student, how can I learn about medicine, human anatomy, and the different branches of medicine? Also, can you do a video about how to crush step 2 cs?
Hi! Thanks a lot for this video. Very informative. Can you do a video comparing MCAT Kaplan review, MCAT Princeton Review, and AAMC materials? Advantages and disadvantages etc.
Do you think this is a good schedule for college and med school? These are my goals. And do you think this is possible? Plan out day in planner from most important to least. This is so that if you miss studying something it won’t be as important Eat healthy and Exercise And make sure to get all med school work done in the middle of the day and study for step exams after dinner. Wake up at 5am and go to sleep at 9-10 Get 7-8 hours of sleep no matter what, it’s more worth it then cramming to study. I was told that I should wake up at 5 and go over what’s happening in class so that the class become the review session. I’ve heard this can help you have a more normal med school life and be less stressed which will in the end help you get better grades I want to be a pediatric orthopedic spine surgeon so I have to work very hard!
i still wonder how any of this was possible with active crohns ... like ... the gym / working out regularly would throw those i know with systemic active crohn's into SEVERE flares / hospitalizations. the same goes for me. even now, if i have to stay up and function for a 6am-10pm day??? if i don't get a solid 10 hours of sleep for several nights thereafter, i'm done for. instant hospitalization..... and i have a friend who has lupus who tried to work FULL TIME (a medical profession) and it nearly KILLED HER. i think she ended up in the hospital for about 3 months. so ... how??!?!? also ... i feel like my "university" experience must have been very different. even a level 101-cs class took 40 hours of week EVERY WEEKEND outside of class 4 days / wk + lab the other day. throw in another 3-6 classes and ... we barely had time to eat. i have actually learned to forget to eat from those days..... is this the "norm" or did i just have a really wonky university experience (and i will add the doctors about whom i have formerly posted and everyone i knew there had just as much "work" if not more than that mentioned above ....)? p.s. tell me where i can get "compound" interest these days ... PLEASE!!?!?
It’s 40% overall but some schools are 1-3% and the people getting into those are probably getting into other medical schools with higher acceptance rates
What is the general opinion from physicians in getting paid on the value of treatment rather than the fee-for-service method. Understandably it seems to target the waste of medical treatment, but how often does that interfere with 'necessary treatment' where physicians actually believe that it is necessary for the patient, but end up deterring treatment due to fear of possibly going over capitations from insurance contracts???
Hey everybody, as of now, I am a going into my Freshman year of high school. In my future, I’ve always had a passion for learning about the anatomy of the human body and how it can be healed when damaged. I just want to know what I can do to pursue a deeper understanding of the medical field. Are high schoolers most generally allowed to shadow? Is there any way that I can learn more from watching the hospital workers? Can I enlist in some sort of program? Of course I would be content with independent studies, but I also want to see what happens with my own eyes. Thank you!
How much free time do you have, I want to animate on RUclips because I like animation more but I also want to be a doctor because I don't hate the medical field and want to live a life with a wee bit more luxury.
Med school is hard. It is not nearly as hard as this person is making it out to be. Just organize your time and drop activities that are fruitless. . . But I know some kids who watched 3-4 hours of netflix every day and still graduated. Others still got drunk and hung over every Friday and Saturday. Seriously though, med school is like taking 16-18 credits in college while working a 10-15 hour a week part time job. It is hard, but far from impossible seeing as 98% of people who start will graduate.
Good luck in med school everyone! Did you find this video helpful? If so, you'll love my weekly newsletter. Check it out here: medschoolinsiders.com/newsletter

I feel like the video was made for me! I'll be starting med school in a few days... This was perfect!
Good luck , you can trust this channel in everything it teaches us. It helped me personally a lot
Work hard, and schedule your time. But this video goes overboard.
you'll soon be in 2nd year... keep doing great 💯
Just finished my first year of med school and I wish I had seen this video before. Cramming is a big NO NO! I have learnt my lesson
Thanks for the video. I started med school last week and was immediately thrown into the deep end of the pool.

This video is top drawer! After completing 5 out of my 6 years of med school, I wholeheartedly agree with all your points and recommendations :)
Can you make a video explaining how first year med students should study anatomy?
I absolutely love your channel! I really need it because in two weeks I have my exam for getting into med school and this is really motivating me to get into it and finally enjoy this life
did you pass the exam??
I'm about to start my M1 in a week from tomorrow. Super excited and kind of afraid of the transition. Thank you for your kind tips and advice.
How are you doing now??
Super high quality content as usual, great video!
can you do one on adjusting to residency? lol kind of a big jump going from med student where no one expects anything from you to being a resident
Really nice video ! Will be starting med school in 2 months a this is what I needed. I started with my new habits already so it will become a regular rutine once I start the school.
Med School Insiders Thanks!
Thank you man, bout to start school and these tips will help me so much.
Im starting med school next month. Thank you for this!!! So helpful!
If you starting medschool. You should really consider Lecturio. Its free to try
Dr. J - another home run! Awesome video. Social aspect (of extracurricular life) is very important otherwise depression can set in. Great work.
Great Video! It is very informative and I will be sure to use your transition tips.
I'm relatively young (middle school) and I've pretty recently have a passion for medicine. As a middle school student, how can I learn about medicine, human anatomy, and the different branches of medicine? Also, can you do a video about how to crush step 2 cs?
Thank you Kevin! I believe you will be a great guide to me as I get accepted... :)
Thanks for the video! A question I’ve had for a while
just got accepted and now i realize that heck.... if i wasnt taking any notes in college how the heck do i do this med school thing
Hi! Thanks a lot for this video. Very informative.
Can you do a video comparing MCAT Kaplan review, MCAT Princeton Review, and AAMC materials? Advantages and disadvantages etc.
7:46 i hear some struggling anecdote here
What are the dropout rates in med school in the US?
Great video 👍🏽
Do you think this is a good schedule for college and med school? These are my goals. And do you think this is possible?
Plan out day in planner from most important to least. This is so that if you miss studying something it won’t be as important
Eat healthy and Exercise
And make sure to get all med school work done in the middle of the day and study for step exams after dinner.
Wake up at 5am and go to sleep at 9-10
Get 7-8 hours of sleep no matter what, it’s more worth it then cramming to study.
I was told that I should wake up at 5 and go over what’s happening in class so that the class become the review session. I’ve heard this can help you have a more normal med school life and be less stressed which will in the end help you get better grades
I want to be a pediatric orthopedic spine surgeon so I have to work very hard!
Very powerful words.
thanks for the video

40% get in in the states? Geez in Canada it's less than 15%
It’s 40% overall but some schools are 1-3% and the people getting into those are probably getting into other medical schools with higher acceptance rates
There are more schools in the U.S. than in Canada, so applicants can apply to more schools. On average, U.S. students apply to 14-15 schools.
What is the general opinion from physicians in getting paid on the value of treatment rather than the fee-for-service method. Understandably it seems to target the waste of medical treatment, but how often does that interfere with 'necessary treatment' where physicians actually believe that it is necessary for the patient, but end up deterring treatment due to fear of possibly going over capitations from insurance contracts???
“Congrats on getting into med school” . . . Me in the 8th grade trying to know everything I can- thanks tho🤷♀️😂
What's your toughts on minimalism and have you read the book by Dave Ramsey the total money makeover?
Med School Insiders oh ok cool. Dave Ramsey total money makeover is a better version of rich Dad poor Dad.

What are your thoughts on paying for medical school through the national guard?
okay..i.should consider myself lucky i watched it before going to med school... 😄
The acceptance rate in my province in canada is less than 10%
How long should you study every day?
What if you're so hyped for knowledge but your med school sucks. would you still go??
How much free time do you have, I want to animate on RUclips because I like animation more but I also want to be a doctor because I don't hate the medical field and want to live a life with a wee bit more luxury.
Can you re-apply for med school if you didn’t get in the first time?
Did you go to UCSD med school?
Yeah he did
7:59 is he dabbing?
First 🙋🏾♀️😌
Just got Accepted ,Frankly I am afraid.
