ADVICE FOR MED STUDENTS & RESIDENTS

[@drjennale]

Any fellow med students or residents have tips of gold they would like to share with their fellow colleagues - drop it down below! What I’ve learned through the years is that there’s room in this field for everyone to be successful. So let’s lift each other up!

[@LattePunch]

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask you for some advice on a split toenail or would you have to be a foot doctor in that area?

[@madduchess]

I used to work in the nhs in UK as a pharmacy dispenser I too share your passion for medicine! I can't wait till my health improves so I can go back to work!

[@Jhulim22]

I'm almost in the 5th year and I've been watching your videos since 1th. Thank you for the gold tips. Something that Ive been learning is "it's okay to be wrong sometimes, just continue forward" - and not just about knowledge from books, but also about the relationship with others. Wish the best for you, your family and career

[@drjennale]

So true! Not only relationships with patients but relationships with colleagues. Thanks for sharing Juliana!

Oh my god wyatts speech is so much clearer now he's coming on leaps and bounds xx

[@madduchess]

London has such a beautiful smile seeing his smile makes my day xx

[@drjennale]

He’s the sweetest! Wyatt is super loving now too. Wish they wouldn’t grow up so fast 😭

Hi Jenny, can you make a video with your husband on his advice to spouses of students in medical school and residency, especially how to balance work life around having kids in medical school and supporting partners who are in medicine? Thanks so much.

[@gocanada5538]

This is gr8! I'm fowarding this to my cousin who just started her residency!

[@drjennale]

Congrats to your cousin!! Residency is so much better than med school! I’m sure I’ll say being an attending is going to be a billion times better than being a resident 😂

[@gocanada5538]

@@drjennale haha apparently it is (based off the other many family members who have their own practice) 🤷‍♀️

[@ciararobb8049]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I am an incoming med student and your videos have helped me so much :) You are amazing !!!

[@drjennale]

Congratulations on med school! So glad these videos are useful 🥰

[@yashna9501]

Thank you for this Jenny! I've been following you for a while now and love all your videos! I'm going to be starting my second year of med school soon, and this was great advice!

[@drjennale]

Congratulations! Each year of medical training is better and better in my experience! ❤️

[@1024specialkay]

such good tips, thank you Jenny!

[@SunshineKane1]

When using ziplocks, flip the lip of the bag over about an inch so you don’t get drippings and junk on the zip part. Just a tip I learned.

[@drjennale]

I’ve also turned the ziplock inside out the grab the meat so I don’t have to wash extra tongs!

[@MelisaRodriguezS]

I love these doctor mom vlogs! I see myself in the future hehe I’m an incoming medical student and I have been watching your videos for a long time, they are very inspiring! I also started creating youtube videos about medical school, I would love for you to check them out and let me know what you think! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@drjennale]

Congrats on getting into medical school! Excited to see your journey

[@MelisaRodriguezS]

Thank you 😬

Hi Jenny! sorry if this Q is redundant, but what studying tool were you using in the beg of the video to practice board questions? Thank you! Im applying into FM for this years match!

[@drjennale]

Yay!! FM ❤️ I was using truelearn - ComBank question

[@glockid90]

Hi Jenny! Thanks for the informative vlogs. I recently started FM residency and was wondering which resources you are utilizing for the ABFM exam? Thanks

[@drjennale]

Congratulations! I use ComBank for test questions. Also try asking your residency if they have previous inservice exams saved anywhere? Basically ABFM half practice test you’re required to do every year.

[@glockid90]

@@drjennale Great, I'll look into those.

[@noir144]

London is the cutest baby everrrrrrrrrrrr

[@drjennale]

Awww thanks! I think so too but I’m bias 😅

[@ladycavie94]

FM Intern on just day 4 of night float over here! I feel like nights have been relatively quiet so I should be studying but I just am so tired or I don’t know what to study or what resource to use (online med Ed again to review topics or cases?) Any advice or suggestions? I’m also overwhelmed thinking about everything coming in the future and surviving these long shifts and hardly any days off! Also 6 mo preg 1st time mom to be for twins so I’m all in my head freaking out about all of it!! Any suggestions or advice Jenny?

[@drjennale]

First off, you are doing amazing! Studying in residency is a lot different than studying in medical school because you are actually practicing medicine. Learn from your patients. Do practice questions when you can. I still read UpToDate. As for the long hours - look at your schedule in advance and advocate for yourself.

[@EJaj1623]

Omg London is sooo cute! Giving me mad baby fever 🤒... lol

[@drjennale]

He is the absolute sweetest! I would have more if I knew they would all be like him 👶🏻❤️

[@tarapun3361]

Is there any reliable app for medical questionnaires that you would like to share?

[@drjennale]

I’ve only heard of one you pay for. The two people tend to use is ComBank and UWorld. (MKSAP for internal medicine boards). I would just pick one though and stick with it.

[@Llamotrigine980]

the kids are too cute, do they know any Vietnamese?

[@drjennale]

No 😭 I really need to speak to them in Vietnamese more
