Successful Med School Relationships

[@juliejealousy]

I've been single for almost 3 years. I've been telling myself that I need to get through undergrad and grad school before dating anyone, but this video kind of shows me it doesn't have to be that extreme. I just thought there aren't many guys out there who could accommodate my schedule or be patient and faithful. My grad program would be way less intense and shorter than med school but I'd still be busy. Coffee meets bagel sounds promising but I don't have fb. Maybe I'll meet someone eventually. I struggle because so many people seem to care about intimacy the most and that's something I need to warm up to, you know? It seems like the boyfriends in this video totally understand that, so hopefully more guys like that are out there.

[@yudelleanlisatajirikenyana4519]

guiltmenot Very well said esp the intimacy part + being faithful.

[@LittleWendy6]

I had to watch it twice because baby Wyatt is so cute 😭❤

[@drjennale]

+Wendy Martinez Awww thanks 👶🏻💙

[@kristellelumac9093]

This is so insightful! Thank you so much! Currently on my 3rd year of medschool and I am so unsure how I can balance my dating life with my studies.

[@drjennale]

+Kristelle Lumac Its possible!! 👩🏻‍⚕️❤️

[@wajihaali7538]

This video is an inspiration that I can get married during my medical school....thanks jenny for this amazing video

[@drjennale]

+wajiha Ali Thanks for watching 🤓

[@wajihaali7538]

You welcome dear sister.....

[@reginaswhitecoat5429]

omg yay I've been waiting for this video!!! omg the engagement so cute!!! I hope I can achieve a good life balance in med school too!

[@drjennale]

+reginaswhitecoat Yesss!! You can do it 👩🏻‍⚕️❤️

[@HasanDabir]

You are so nice 😁

[@ViolinMD]

Great video! So true, my boyfriend always think we've talked on FaceTime WAY more often than we really have! haha 😂

[@lookingforsure]

jenny the matchmaker! :D loved this video, it gives me hope about managing a relationship and medschool at the same time

[@AyaKaraRemix]

The timing of this video couldn't have been more perfect! I'm starting med school in 2 weeks and my boyfriend of many years just admitted to me last night that he's nervous about it. I haven't been worried, and you and your friends just showed us exactly why he shouldn't be either. Thank you guys so much! I hope residency's going well, Jenny!

[@drjennale]

+Akara Congratulations on med school!! As long as you're both willing to communicate and work on the relationship it all works out.

[@AyaKaraRemix]

You're absolutely right. Thank you so much!

[@happychobits]

Thank you so much! This was so insightful!!! Honestly no one talks about med school relationships much, you just find out ppl getting engaged/married or splitting. Thanks for showing us couples that "made it". Medicine is stressful, it really is, but we all deserve a chance at love and having a family too! :)

[@melyssaherrera9005]

I'm really glad I came across this video. I'm currently dating someone in dental school. We both met in college but dear lord the transition was tough. We were together every day, and now we see each other for about 30 minutes. But like you all mentioned, communication is key! That and being able to accept the busy life of a DDS or MD.

[@elle4406]

hahah i laughed so hard when the couple said they met at the club xD

[@tokee1234567]

Next time can you interview med school parents or those who became pregnant during med school or are raising young children? I will be a non-trad med school applicant and will be applying to med school in my early 30's so it would be nice to hear some actual stories from people who are experiencing this first-hand. I did hear there is still a stigma towards female med students or residents having children

[@drjennale]

+tokee1234567 I was pregnant and gave birth during my fourth year of medical school. I too heard of stigma towards pregnant medical students/residents but I have not experienced any myself. Most people I spoke to (including myself) hid their pregnancies early on for this reason and later regretted it when everyone was so receptive. I wish I celebrated my pregnancy more.

[@AyaKaraRemix]

I would like to see this too, I'm also non-trad and we're considering the possibility of having our first baby during med school.

[@tokee1234567]

Yes I am aware of that and congratulations! I am thinking more about parents who are pregnant in the beginning of med school early on or those who had children right before med school or are raising young children during med school. I am debating on having my first child before med school since by the time I am in my fourth year, I might reach that mid-late 30's where pregnancies can become difficult. Then I am thinking of my second pregnancy during the 3-4th year of med school. I know a lot of people think motherhood along with med school (raising a baby through entire med school) is just too difficult. My husband will also have rotating day and night shift jobs as a healthcare worker so childcare might also be difficult. I am finishing up my prereqs this Winter and will be studying for the MCAT afterwards. Thank you for your reply!

[@brendasanchez5982]

tokee1234567 this would be so interesting!!

[@harmindersandhu5756]

+tokee1234567 I am also a non-trad soon to be applicant. Do you mind sharing your story of wanting to become a doctor? I have had many times of self-doubt, and wondering if I should continue with my current path, or go to medical school. It would be helpful to hear about your path.

[@JessicaMHernandez]

Love how every couple met😂💙 What a great vlog, very different😁

[@TiffAMK]

You are such an inspiration, Jenny. I am from Australia and, even though the U.S and Australian systems differ quite substantially, I get so much out of your videos. I have had a bit of a change of path and have decided to pursue medicine. I am already in a long-term relationship and am hoping to have a child during medical school. It is so great to see that it can be done as so many people seem to think women can't have it all. Thanks for your great content and inspiring women around the world!

[@Alyssa-jf1wz]

We are engaged and starting our OMS-1 year together tomorrow! Love to see these inspiring stories!

[@drjennale]

+Alyssa O Congratulations!! That's amazing

[@marissaweeks8191]

Love your vids! I'm in my first year of PA school and got married a month before I started. It has been a completely new world for my husband but it is amazing to have someone so supportive!

[@mlunavic]

Although neither me or my boyfriend are in med school, we are long distance. We have been handling it well for the most part, but as with any long distance relationship, it can be hard sometimes, so it was very reassuring and inspirational to watch this video. Love your channel Jenny! ❤️

[@ValerieAbby]

this is such a cute video concept! you guys are so lovely 💕

[@sarankennedy5251]

This is so lovely, starting Med School in a month your videos have been so great to keep me focused during the long entrance exam study and applications process!

[@drjennale]

+Sara K Congratulations!! Don't forget to enjoy the journey.

[@dingalingbabysling]

My husband and I met in nursing school and have been together 25 years! Although he went back to building houses lol! Having a baby and doing shift work is rough but I wouldn't trade those days for anything looking back now! Great video!

[@NadiaFleurantin]

Awesome video :) I'm currently an MS1 and (not going to lie...) I was worried that a relationship would be impossible. I'm single, but if it happens, it happens lol looks like patience, understanding, and putting in the effort are the key things. Congrats to all of you!

[@koolie4341]

This is so refreshing to see! Very inspiring.

[@liitsoi]

omg the couple that met at the club are so funny!

[@danielletran5708]

This gives me so much hope! thank you (: Coincidentally, I'm from San Jose and my long distance boyfriend is from Fresno & I'm applying to medical school right now!

[@drjennale]

+DANIELLE TRAN 😱😱😱 did you go to Independence?

[@danielletran5708]

I'm actually in EVHS district! hahah. so, not toooo far off.

[@RR-ik3kg]

This is all lovely, but makes me stressed. I can totally relate with the guy with black shirt (I LOVE solo time, and being alone) I currently live by myself and LOVE IT(that itself is an understatement). Someone I know wants to get married with me and mentions it too often, but just the thought of it gives me anxiety. I am all about not having *that* burden of commitment over my shoulders; I am also looking forward to start a post-bachelors program in Medicine in hopes of getting into Med school.

[@myfreesoul4237]

Thank you so much for making this ma'am. You truly are inspirational and have made me see things in new light. Also, I loved all you couples; you all made me smile and grin so wide. God bless you all!

[@mltxander7024]

What an insightful video! Great to see success on the personal side of medical school.

[@madduchess]

I loved this video Jenny watching you and Stan so in sync now as a couple is so entertaining but in a cute way! I've been single for five years by choice, but you and Stan are perfect for each other xx

[@yajairadominguez9641]

Love this video! Really gives you insight as to what it's like dating in med school!

[@xlalaladida]

Awww I loved this video. Baby Wyatt is so precious!!

[@Kennia1998]

i start med school in August and i have zero interest in dating someone right now lol

[@ruthfanfan961]

Also I lost everything on my quest to become successful. I found out that 4 others were happily using my identity and now I just sit in wonder most of the time while i slowly slip into deeper depression. No relationship, no friends, no kids, and quite frankly I think my mind may be gone soon as well. The one time I did think I would have been in a relationship turned out to be a huge joke and the most humiliating experience since my elementary school graduation day when no one showed up. Just venting I guess but I do that every once in a while

[@helenktrmn1751]

I hope you feel a little better now🥰 And dont worry, i think that if you trully want and NEVER GIVE UP, you will find your happiness someday....when the time is perfect for you😊 (remember, obsticles are just lessons) Just stay true to yourself and dont hesitate to ask for help,even from a profesional, if that is needed!! Have a nice day ...and life🙂

[@Ha99yS0u1]

jennnnny would it be possible for you to share your personal statement with us?? or share your experience with applying to medical school? if you already have, could you direct me to the video? i may have overlooked it~

[@missOhdrey]

Jenny! This video was SUCH a good idea. It made me smile a whole lot, thanks for putting it together!

[@cindya6927]

Wow this just gave me hope in love again! Thank you for this video

[@keeponsmiling97]

absolutely loved everything about this video, you should do more videos like this :)

[@xeniaheynes1318]

Super inspiring. 🙏🏾 thank you

[@makkiyapetross9037]

Omg yay! This was so informative ;)

[@DoctorNikkiP]

The couples in this video are so cute!

[@doaadaloub698]

A great video ❤❤ baby Wyatt is so adorable !!!!

[@pattymayonaise7998]

Currently a 2nd year in med school and my boyfriend is a current 4th year. I was hoping one of the couples were both in med school but I really enjoyed it. It's possible

[@woodlandexplorers]

This is cute. Like When Harry Met Sally😊

[@yudelleanlisatajirikenyana4519]

J Kimchi 😂😂😂

[@merdal9329]

I'm a PA student and and my bf is in finance. sometimes i get jealous of couples who are in medicine together because they can help each other,, thanks for the video!

[@RR-ik3kg]

Same.

[@harmindersandhu5756]

This is so great, thanks for the video. I think by biggest fear is whether or not I will be able to have a work life balance while in medical school. I have seen so many youtube videos about how much time is taken up by medical school, but I am wondering how much time do you really have to meet with friends, family, and your partner? Once a month to meet with family/your partner seems kind of difficult, since I currently see them at least once a week. Any advice?

[@drjennale]

+Sandhu There are people who see their significant others more often. We were just in long distance relationships so it got rather expensive to see each other that often. Not that we didn't want to or didn't have the time.

[@harmindersandhu5756]

+Jenny Le I see, thanks so much for your reply :) P.S. You have an adorable family!

[@punkcathyx]

Amazing, thanks ❤

[@1024specialkay]

I love this!

[@lysdesire10]

There is still hope in med school! 😂🙌🏾 Can you drop the dating app in the comment section? 🤣

[@averagebloke4474]

I wish I can go to med school.

[@drjennale]

+Sculpin Anyone can work towards going to med school

[@williamjames4031]

Jenny Le But, Medical school is extremely hard.

[@drjennale]

+William James agreed. But not impossible!

[@aw8758]

Sculpin yes me too it just seems so impossible to even get in

[@williamjames4031]

Jenny Le Thank you, I want to desperately enter the health care field but I already have a bachelor degree and my GPA is low as well as I did not take any pre-med courses, so my second option is to become a nurse.

[@jackiechandler633]

love the video

[@AriellaElisa]

I like this, I use to think it was impossible! 😌

[@jaelynpena4206]

This video is so cute and sweet.

[@misswinnie4.8]

wow, you should forward this to Gary Chapman author of 5 love languages.

[@Dr.Mini_moe]

How does 3rd yr people remain together not knowing where they will end up for resiedency

[@drjennale]

Stan and I were always long distance until we got married. There’s also couples match for residency.

[@irishmoxie]

Why no doctor/doctor couples?

[@drjennale]

+irishmoxie These were my close friends and bridesmaids from med school. They/we just happened to date people who weren't in medicine.

[@AlexaStyleBook]

Aww so precious

What a cute family.

+logick3 👵🏼👶🏻👴🏻❤️

[@ruthfanfan961]

Hi, I honestly don't believe I have a career in healthcare anymore but I guess my question is: Have you ever spoken to someone that made that decision to let go physically but struggle to let go mentally?

[@hanasiddiq5756]

Wyatt is so cute

[@aw8758]

Wayment what the app where the couple met on 🤔👀

[@drjennale]

+a w Coffee meets Bagel

[@Narutoverse13]

What dating website did that one couple use that Jenny recommended? I can't hear the name.

[@drjennale]

+Narutoverse13 coffee meets bagel !

[@jerrycao1289]

My girlfriend and I are both striving for medical school, and I'm concerned because I'm seeing a trend in medical school relationships. It seems that relationships are only possible if only one person is in medical school... Have you seen examples where two med school students were able to have a relationship and possibly a family?

[@drjennale]

+Jerry Cao I have friends who are married and both in medical school. I feel like you would be able to have a family if you had a good support system. Since both of you would be very busy with school, someone like grandparents would have to play a major role, or very good child care. I know some who have an in home nanny.

[@Tyso150]

I'm looking for a cactus relationship haha

[@beyondthestethoscope04]

All of them are Asian?

[@ninaniaa2430]

Cactus couple lololol
