Doctors Offer Advice To Medical Students

In the spring of 2012 a panel of locum tenens physicians was brought together to discuss and provide insight into physician careers and health care. They represent a wide range of specialties, from primary care to cardiology, from psychiatry to pediatrics.

This video offers medical students advice on enjoying more out of medical stuff, developing interpersonal relationships, finding a mentor, who to listen to in medical school, and listening to your heart.

"I always followed my heart" -Cardiologist.

[TheJorisbol]

Am I the only one who thinks it is funny that the cardiologist tells you to follow your heart

[samgaming]

"I followed my heart... and became a cardiologist"- LOL

Another bit of advice to med students (which this extends to everybody, student or not) : you NEED to sleep. Often time med students don't get the sleep they need because they are working or studying. Being well-rested leads to better decisions, faster reaction time/memory recall, less stress, and HIGHER TEST SCORES!!!
As a side note, there is nothing wrong with taking a break for a while. even if it's just 3 minutes to breath and clear your mind, if you study hard and learn to relax effectively, you will do great things.

The last advice was heart touching specially with that progressing background music .

I appreciate the last doctor from my heart. I would like to listen to Dr. Shrimant Ayaram more. Are there more videos/speech of him? Is it possible to upload them? I happened not to find any.
Things happened in my life tearing it apart. Yet my dreams not tilted. I arrived. In between, it was a period of tremendous patience. Gloria!

Love what the last doctor said! His words actually gave me hope because I am in the middle of deciding if this is really what I want to do! I'm glad I came across his words! =) 

[BriUnFilltered]

the last man to speak said it all: 'have a dream and no matter what happens you arrive' 'you glorify God most when you are happy' 'find out what you're gonna be happy with and follow that and you will succeed very well'

[DrDayG]

I feel that everything they said, if I do them I will probably not become an MD. But that last guy. Not only was his short and to the point, but it is extremely accurate and is used throughout our entire lfie

I watched this video shortly after high school, when I was a young idealistic teen who was eager to get into med school and become a doctor. These words inspired me so much. I am now a licensed medical doctor, and seeing this video, 12 + years later is bringing me full circle. God is faithful. To the young person reading this, walk with God through the process. Your journey will be unique. Do not let go of the tried and tested wisdom that has helped those who have gone ahead of you, and remain open to embracing the nuances that will distinguish your own journey. I am rooting for you!

Choosing medical field is a path which is not easy to go through, since i got into a medical college my life has changed i always worry about not studying enough and that make my life less happy, but in the end i know this path will lead to the doors of happiness, everything has its price

[dancingwiththedocs]

Thank you so much for this video! I especially took note of Dr. Srimant Ayaram's advice at the end of the video. I've started my undergrad work as a non-traditional student, and headed and happy to head, to medical school and become a doctor. There are many odds against me, but I'm willing to push through them and pursue this path ("to glorify God by being happy").

oh!!!! I love the last doctors advice i actually clapped.. Gives me hope.

[ArmilDeSparta]

Looking back, i suggest while you're in your 1st year...List down why you want to be a doctor. Then later when you're struggling or feeling down, look back on it, and don't let yourself down, don't let the person who brought you there down..yourself.

[docrobinkd]

All well done! The best nuggets of advice I received when I was studying in Medical School were from older physicians in the twilight of their careers. Often as simple as the essence of patient care was caring for the patient!

[pipeline]

The last piece of advice is the BEST piece of advice ever given.

[artygunnar]

The last guy was awesome! Dr. Ayaram!!!!

[dariusghahary]

Everything resonated very well with me. Thank you for taking the time out of your schedules to help out the younger generation.

[naeemahhardison]

Thank You Doctor's! This was very helpful. To the last Doctor who spoke, I needed to hear

[TFPTravel]

I think it's interesting to find different doctors giving different advice, especially in different systems.
