WEEKENDS IN MEDICAL SCHOOL | The importance of taking breaks in Med School VLOG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Taking breaks in medical school (or any other discipline) is important in order to avoid burning out. Studying for med school shelf, boards and other exams are all both mentally and physically draining for most medical school students. In my experience, taking a day or two or even just an afternoon off from medical school related stuff has helped me "refresh" and tackle other challenges that I face in medical school.

You seem so happy and relaxed :) I love how we can seriously appreciate the preciousness of short breaks when we're in med school. Love ya❤️
twinklinglena I was just on your channel last night! :) love your vlogs! -subscriber
twinklinglena to
you're by far my favorite medical youtube student.
aww thank you!
Mine too!
mine too!
I am not even a medical student, but love watching your videos!
thanks for watching!
:)
I love watching your vlogs! Continue making videos and good luck on your OB/GYN rotation :)
thank you
I'm also a med student and it's always super inspiring to watch your videos when I feel a little bit down 😁 thank you!
Okay may I say that the cartoon drawing of yourself u inserted through the video is quite adorable!!! :3
thank you
please please do a video about maintaining a (long distance?) relationship during med school. thanks!
I love watching your vlogs, they give a great insight on how to manage your time and being able to do fun things (the side that no-one talks about). Every time I watch your vlogs I can't wait till i eventually start medical school
You definitely know how to balance your life. Work then play. Study then take a break eating great food and visit town. Love it! Keep it up and I'm sure you'll make a successful doctor. Love from London xx
Liked before watching as always !! Loved after watching as always !!
I Love your personality and can't stop watching your videos!
Hi! I'm new to this channel and omg you've inspired me to work harder. I am going to take my NMAT exam (MCAT equivalent in the Philippines) on oct 16 and I'm really nervous because I'm not a science major. I love you videos and you're the first person I encountered on youtube that does medical videos. I'm thankful to have bumped into your channel. Thank you so much! Please continue to do videos like this. It inspires a lot of people like me and keeps me motivated.
Thank you! Good luck with the NMAT! Hope it goes well :)
You have no idea how much your video's have helped me through pharmacy school. Thanks for being so awesome!
i also finished with my september exams so this weekend i am completely free, relaxed and nothing is on my mind! i am so so happy and it reminded me of elemetary school (': I really appreciate those little breaks just so i can spend some time with the ones that i love and clear my head! i'm so excited for your ob/gyn rotation :DD good luck & i love your videos
when breathe becomes air was such a great book! the author made me feel apart of his journey and battle through his cancer diagnosis. He truly showed how different the world is for patients after a diagnosis. i couldn't stop crying at the end. But such a great recommendation for all future and present health care professionals!
i forgot to mention, have you read The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly by Matt McCarthy. I read this during my 4th yr pharmacy rotations and it gave me a positive encouragement to know we all struggle through the same thing when first entering into this healthcare field.
Subscribed!! Just found your channel and feeling so motivated/inspired. I'm a second year pharmacy student so I can definitely relate to the importance of break times. Hope you're enjoying the new rotation :)
Hi, I really enjoy your vlogs! What you said about taking breaks is super important and not said enough! I read When Breath Becomes Air over the summer and really liked it. Definitely going to look into your other recommendations. Also, your cat is so cute!!
I tend to frequent your channel for motivation whenever I have an exam coming. I have my CNS mid-block exam in a few days from now and I need all the extra pushes I can get
I'm also a med student and love watching your vids. Like you I'm in a relationship and I would love a vid on how you balance studying and your time with your bf!
A good recommendation reagarding books would be ''The man who mistook his wife for a hat'' by Oliver Sacks. It is more on the psychiatric/psychological side, but it is really interesting (it also includes various medical explanations of every disorder that is presented). Personally, I think that it helped me a lot to gain more knowledge as a psychologist and expand my imagination -which is considered to be a part of creativity. Hope you have a wonderful time, and keep up with these positive influencing vlogs!! :)
I am so excited to see your videos during your OBGYN rotation! I want to pursue MFM and would love to hear all about it!
I subscribed today and I already watched 10 of your videos on studying and vlogs. Loved each and every one of them. I'm an 11th grade student aiming to get into med school one day. And I find your videos very motivating :D
Hello! Would love to see how you balance and maintain having a committed relationship in med school!
I second this! Is your boyfriend also in medical school?
I'm glad you've relaxed this weekend.
I enjoy your vlogs a lot.
I'll definitely check out those books
Love the quality of the second half of the video! it was almost like you had a filter on the whole time, so cute ☺
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching your vlogs :) Even though I'm a business student in Germany I still like to watch your videos so keep it up! Hugs from a new subscriber :)
Love, love watching your vlogs! they are so relaxing, and inspiring. Thank you. XOXO
I've just gone back to uni to do a msc degree, so glad I came across your channel!
I read 'Lean In' by Sheryl Sandberg two months ago or so. It was incredible! It opened my eyes to problems that women face all around the world and also inspired me so much to be ambitious and to stop putting some limits on me by myself. Great recommendation!
Vlogs are amazing! Love watching them!
Thank you for inspiring me 💙
Thank you so much for doing these videos, you are so beautiful inside and out. I hope everything goes good for you, you are totally GOALS!!! I just hope that I can be like you so determined, smart, focused but also enjoy life (:
Our entire medical school class was asked to read When Breath Becomes Air. It is INCREDIBLE
I always look forward to watch your videos. Excited to see what you bought :D
Hello Jamie how are you?! I hope u doing well!
I'm in my final months to graduate from medical school and it really helps me whatch your videos and kind of learn from experience overall... I appreciate it!!!
Greetings from South America :)
love your all of your videos. Good luck!!
I love the background music in all of your videos 😍😍😍
I'm sure you've answered this but where do you go to med school? Also any advice on organizations to be involved in in college?
I'll be graduating soon and applying to med school and still looking to add things to my resume :)
Hey Amanda you might find this video useful: ruclips.net/video/m6tJ0TmrFVI/видео.html I talk about what to do in the summer as an undergrad, there are also some helpful links to all the research positions in the country you can apply to to add to your resume! Hope that helps :)
Please answer these questions!!! (1) HOW do you edit your videos? What software is it that allows you to put the cute pics, sound effects, and text??? (2) HOW do you have TIME for such a successful and beautiful social media presence? (3) HOW did you edit your youtube banner? THANKYOU
Replying for reference 😁
Hi :) 1. final cut pro. 2. i mostly film on Saturdays (for the most part) 3. I used photoshop. Hope that helps!
TheStriveToFit editing takes so much time! And you're using such a high level software! How??? In med school no way is there time to edit?
***** final cut pro is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.
HII u are absolutely amazing and really inspiring! thank you for making these videos
Good vlog! Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos! 👍🏻
I'm a medical student and I feel like I'm dying every week. I don't know why I don't have time to shop or read certain books. But I'll try to set some time aside for those after watching this vid. Thank you!
Quick question.. When you are doing rotations do you get to hang out on the weekends like you did in the video? Do you enjoy your weekends at all during rotations? 😂
thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to make these videos, they are really helpful! btw, how do you like your whiting activite watch? I am thinking about buying the activite pro watch for myself.
I love it! I def recommend.
Really enjoy watching your videos! Just wondering where you got your bag?
Love your video and love your city! Best wishes for your OB/GYN rotation :D
Lovely downtown.. Where is it?? Oh, next time you vlog in the car make sure the lights are on! 😂 good luck on ob/gyn rotation!
Love your vlogs! Where is your purse from? The one when you went to the city. I've been looking for something similar.
Hey!
Just wanted to tell ur amazing and so inspiring.. i am an IMG and am 3 weeks away from my step 1 exam .. i would appreciate any advice regarding how to organize my time because I really don't want to stop my workout routines also i watched all your resources videos they really helped so thank you !!
Im glad you are getting some rest. Great video
loved your video (as always)!!!! This is random but you should totally do the bf/gf tag!! I love your videos keep being awesome!!!!
hey Jamie.....always luv ua videos....and the efforts u put in them.....#lovelove....*-*
Candy is so adorable😊
OMG I love your outfits!
When you take a year off after undergrad, do you take your mcat right after graduation or the following year right before you go to med school?
I took a year off after graduating, but I took my mcat prior to starting my last year of undergrad. But you can take it after graduating.
Hi! i've been watching your videos for a while and would love some advice? I'll be attending med school hopefully in a few years but I'm just concerned as to how you find the time to do other things? I am a very extroverted person, I love going on road trips and travelling, very go-with-the-flow person, I also train in MMA on the daily! but how do I do that when I want to be as successful as I hope to be in med school?
i love your vlogs!!!😊
I think u will make the prettiest doctor ur so gorgeous 😍😍😍
Hi! I'm a new subscriber. Do you have a video on tips and advices on getting from high school to now med school? Love your vlogs!!!!
i have a video on my journey from HS to med school! check it out on the channel!
hey!! I love your channel..I have a question ..how do you focus in med school and have a boyfriend/fiance?? at the same time. my boyfriend is on his path to med school and I see how much time is spent in school and I totally support him but he wants us to move in together and I fear that living together will just interrupt his focus...what do you suggest or experienced?
I have a question... I heard from a lot of german exchange students that school in America is really easy. Is university also easier or how is this working? I don't understand it and I don't want to sound contemptuous 😣
in which city you are?
Love your videos!!!
do the boyfriend tag, please!!!!
What town does she live in? Seems like a lot of fun!
Is it really convinent to have a car in grad school? I don't know how to drive yet, is it necessary to start learning now so I'm able to drive comfortably when I get to uni
depends on where your school is! I would consult students at your school :)
Loved the video 🙂🙂
What song is this? I love it!
You are so pretty! Such a gorgeous couple!
Loveeeeee your videos! :D
what on earth is that thing moving in ur plate
Do you get paid when you work at the hospital?
Looks like such a nice time relaxing! Hope your exam went well! Your baby kitty is adorable, how old is she?
she's actually 9! not a baby anymore but she's still my baby :D
Dissenting diagnosis is also other great book
ilove watching your vlog you are so positive
My cat loves to be held like a baby too 😻😸
I should know this but what city do you live near?
Looks like Manhattan NY to me. But I'm a Brit so what do I know!!
New England area 😂
its NYC, i could tell by the street names and subway haha
Where do you live? And what college did you go to?
Which school are you studying at?
Who films these videos for her?
Are clinical rotations, like pediatrics, ER, etc, for a month each?
Shaya Julia 6-8 weeks depending on your schools program
marlene dontsop thank you. Do you choose what specialties you want to rotate in?
Shaya Julia sort of.. Depending on the schools program you have like 6 or 7 core rotations that is mandatory and then the others are required. Some schools integrate all in school program others let students choose as electives. Still in a 4,6, or & week rotation. Btw, I only know so much because I did my research in the schools that I want to attend (I'm doing my undergrad now) but I would recommend just looking at the schools program in detail to make sure it's a program you're willing to abide by
Ok thank you, appreciate it!
No, for 3rd year it's set by the school.
do a book review please
New York?
What city do you live?
👍🏽
How do you edit your videos?
I use final cut pro!
i wonder if someone spotted themselves in her vlog
room tour please!!!
great video
😁
Where does she live?
awesome
I'm in med school and whenever I take breaks I feel guilty :(
Aww how come?
I feel like I should always be using my free time to catch up instead of doing other things.
This looks like GSP 😆
