I host a podcast where I speak with some of the most inspiring medical students from across the country. They share their stories and tons of advice for the next generation of healthcare providers. You can find the podcast by searching "future leaders of healthcare" on all streaming platforms.

This is a course designed to guide premedical students to and through the medical school application.

From my favorite books, to my YouTube gear, here you'll basically find everything I have in my home.

I’ve been using Lecturio for about three months maybe now because of your survival guide video!

I’ve loved watching the anatomy videos and it’s interactive programs.

Thanks dude

I am starting medical school in August! I too am so excited!

Your videos are awesome! Good luck to you all!

[jonathonchio]

Excited to join the rest of those who commented as part of Class of 2025! Thank you so much for these tips! And good luck to those applying in the upcoming cycle!

Agreed about everything!! Especially #1, I picked up baking bread, getting even more obsessed with coffee and started enjoying reading again. Med school is rough and finding balance is a challenge but so important for your sanity.

[nicolefco]

I am taking the MCAT very soon, and I plan on traveling right after this nightmare is over 😭🙌🏾

[guitarmonize]

Taking these words of advice to the heart! Appreciate you J.R.!#KeepEvolving

Thank you for making this video! I'm a Japanese Studies student who gave up on applying to medicine after not getting enough points on my school-leaving exam. Now, 3 years later, I'm graduating with a bachelor's and planning on taking a gap year to prepare for retaking my exams and hopefully pursue medicine at 23yo! I felt so down for the longest time but now I see that learning Japanese helped me grow in a lot of ways. So, even though it's an unrelated major to medicine, I still am happy to have some great memories and a hobby!

[DungTran-jkvs]

I absolutely agree with you in every point, especially building habits outside medicine, it makes you feel more balance. (I'm a dental hygiene student though but actually thinking of applying for med school).

[juanfransalgado]

Your vids are great, keep it up with the grind.

[ohazel]

Your videos are the best! Thank you for all of the amazing advice!

[owamyijokad]

Another great video! Anki, sponsor this man!

[Uchechiojukwu]

Please make a video on apps that teach you medical courses aside from lecturio.

[tyaoliver]

I start in July and I’m 🥴 but also very excited lol

[jakesatov]

Not a med student and not planning to be, but I love great insights!

[erinl]

Grateful to start school this summer! Your videos are amazing as always. How do you fall asleep early enough so you can wake up refreshed? Would love to hear your thoughts about sleep hygiene :D

Still waitlisted at a couple of med schools hoping for movement after April 30th! If not I got a whole year to apply these tips and get better 💪💪
