- Hi friends! Join me and my roommate, Nick, as we take on our first day of clinical rotations! It was a super exciting day, filled with lots of amazing patients, clinical learning, and mentorship. Thanks for joining!
Yak, great vlog of your first day on rotation. Your empathy for the patients was readily apparent and your ability to communicate your clinical experience is amazing.
Thanks a million Mike! I so appreciate it! Sending lots of love
So glad you’re taking the time to document these incredible times. It will be so amazing to have these memories to look back on in the future!
Thanks Ariel! Means so much to me ❤️
Hi Moose! Great vlog. You've become a professional vlogger. I really enjoy watching all of your vlogs because they are very interesting and well done... kind of like watching a great movie that you wish would never end :) I'm so proud of you and everything you have accomplished so far, and just when I think I can't be more proud of you than I already am... you surprise me and make me feel even prouder than I was before. Please continue making these vlogs because even though we are not in med school, you give everyone an excellent feeling and idea of what your day was like and we feel like we were right there with ya! YASHER KOACH!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thanks so so much Ima! The support means the world to me, and I wouldn't be at this point in my life (or any point in my life) without you. Love you!
Love your videos! I'm thinking of applying to Georgetown for med school.
Kayla Equestrian thanks so much for the comment! Feel free to reach out over Instagram if you have any questions as you begin the application process, or any questions at all! You’re going to rock it, I’m sure :)
Good vlog sir.. Very informative.. Support❤️
Thanks so much for the comment! Your support means a lot.
Im interested in child and adolescent psychiatry! Hopefully next year I can start medical school.
That's awesome! It really is a great field. Best of luck on your journey; I'm sure you'll rock it!
Hi, im also interested in GT medical school. Can you please give me some advice on how to get in?
Hi there! Happy to hear you’re interested in Georgetown. My general advice is to stay as genuine as possible on your application: make it personal, tell your story, and do lots of research on Georgetown and what it stands for. I would also be sure to have others read over your essays. Best of luck!
@@yakscience4937 it’s such a relief!! Thanks
How many rotations do you do and is it all in 3rd year... do you do anything else in 3rd/4th yr ie go to classes etc
Great question Mark! So in third year, we rotate in psychiatry, OBGYN, family medicine, pediatrics, neurology, surgery, surgical subspecialties, internal medicine, and several "selectives" where we choose fields that interest us. Then, in fourth year, the focus is more on your specialty of choice and you do more rotations in that field. In terms of classes, we have lecture a couple times per week briefly, but the vast majority of time is spent in clinic. Hope this helps!
YakScience and you take exams and get graded on written exams as well as practical ie evaluations during rotations? Then MD degree after passing step1,2 and 3...? Are you allowed to take these tests again if you fail?Then after 4 yrs you need to do residency in your field and again get graded on exams or practical?
Yep, so during 3rd and 4th year you take a subject exam after each rotation, plus you’re evaluated each day by your preceptor/attending physician based on performance, etc. Step 1 is taken before starting clinicals, step 2 is often taken towards the end of 3rd year or beginning of 4th, and step 3 is actually taken during residency. And yep exactly: 4 years to get the MD, and then residency in your desired field. You can also add fellowships to your training if you want to specialize further within a field
YakScience thanks I never knew the details as to how one becomes a dr but it’s much clearer now!
mark patrick happy to help!
Now if you could only learn to relax and make a vlog about a med school student's day off with tennis, dinner with friends, some games and a movie. You are working too hard. It's just a med school, which should be like a walk in a park for you :-).
Haha thanks Papa! I could use some relaxation at this point, that's for sure! Maybe a future vlog will be about what I do to relax. That's a good suggestion!
Hey Guys, I loved your videos, and I am new here. I am a second semester first-year Med student from UAG School of Medicine International Program, I would love to perhaps be in touch, maybe you guys have tips and awesome experiences to share with me, and I also have friends that would love to know about you all's experiences, if it is okay please let me know so we can share contact information other than here. I really look forward to hear from you guys.
Hi there! Thanks so much for supporting the channel. Congrats on making it into med school! Feel free to reach out over Instagram with any questions and I’ll be happy to reply. All the best to you!
