[oolahulahoopandflow]

In premed for PA to add ND after and do integrative medicine. Single mom at 40 going back to school after 20 years as a Massage Therapist/Aromatherapist/Yoga Therapist… it’s time

As of now I’m excited about it but seeing all these vids on Burnout, hating it, etc… def helps to prepare for the experience and expectations

Thank you for these vids, I’ve been obsessively watching them 😆⚛️🧠

[marisoll]

Do you have a video for high school students pls?

[Maddawg]

So I’m going to throw a curveball. Other competitor premed entities (Med School HQ/Dr. Gray) argue research is not needed for admission for med school. Other entities disagree though, especially in 2023. What is your thoughts- 100% needed?

[Zay]

Why is clinical research not held to the same value as bench? Also if I participate in clinical research and get published, would be able to use that for residences? If I have clinical research experience, does that count as research experience in general and can use that experience to apply to bench labs?

Does it have to be medical related I want to do synthetic biology

If you want to developed a great medical profession start mentoring and hands on experiences with them over books . Ex look at why Korean plastic surgeon are better than American because they perform a lot per day and it just what they learn at the job craft their skills . If we take that back n do the same for our students here in America instead of throws them books bc leading them to medical school entrance they already have proven them their smartness n to forced them to even more is a bit too much .. minimal is fine but focus on hands on with their job is better

[jeanfrancoisboisvert]

We can't have more and more MDs who leave their practice, to become Tik Tok dancers or so-called counsellors who provide no actually medical treatments. Especially when there is a shortage of physicians.

The insurance compagnies, HMOs, etc, have really fucked things up for the médical profession.

[nevergiveup]

Why are we here in this life, why do we die, what will happen to us after death?

Wait but Adam and Eve
Idk about dinosaurs but I believe Adam and Eve existed

[stephinitelynutritiondriven]

I’m a non-trad pre-med student (interested in DO), and I don’t have the lab experience to qualify for the opportunity of a research position. Is research as an extracurricular more geared towards MD schools, or is it relevant for DO as well?
