Day in the Life of a UCLA Medical Student

Hey guys! Just finished Step 1 which gives me some time to make videos! I filmed this "Day in the Life" back in February when I was in the midst of our heart/lung/kidney disease block in medical school, but I didn't get a chance to put it together until now. Hope you enjoy!
If you're new here, my name is Michael, and I just finished up my second year of medical school at UCLA. I'm in the MD/PhD program which means I will be headed off to lab for the next few years but I'm excited to share some of the things I've learned as a medical student!

I also have plenty of other videos including some more vlogs and plenty of application advice so check those out if you're interested!

The king has returned to the throne... Now it's back to hibernation

Love the vids bro, but you gotta put more than salt and pepper on that chicken man. 😂 Try some adobo, garlic powder, and maybe some chipotle seasoning

Love the vids bro. You always motivate me and I want to do the MD/PHD route as well. Keep it up

[@blitz30034]

Since filming throws you off your usual schedule, can you show us a written schedule of what you usually do in your day as a medical student?

[@maddiesnyder421]

You are living my dream!!

Bro went from “how I scored 132” to “yo this is a total nightmare and as long as I pass I’m good with myself” yo I’m officially scared AF😂. Keep grinding though man. Ik it’s not easy.

Don't know why I'm fixated that he has a rice cooker, but made it on the stove top. Nope, not about the vagaries and difficulties of med school, but his rice cooking.
