ANKI has been a GAME CHANGER. You did not lie, there are so many things that I know relative to my peers and 90% of the time they look at like I'm crazy and where I got the info or even remember and I ALWAYS say thank you to the good sir JR and his insight. GAME CHANGER!!!!!! if it's not Anki I don't want to hear about it

[@EvolvingMedic]

Let’s go!! I’m so happy to hear that Jacob! Great work! 🔥

[@khalilahd.]

Okay definitely a super busy day but so inspiring! I can’t wait to have the stress of reviewing anki and lectures lol. Great video! ☺️

[@christibrown]

Hi! Upcoming med student here. Where do you find time for your faith? Is it easy to fit that into your daily schedule? Your days seem really packed lol

[@EvolvingMedic]

It’s not easy, but definitely possible! I think you just have to be intentional to make it a part of your life on a regular basis (weekly church, Bible studies, etc.). If you’re intentional about it you can definitely maintain and grow your faith

[@FatimaBoud99]

Oh, those days where you're just running to catch up 😤, great video and honestly one of the ways that motivate me to carry on 💛. I was wondering what is your Anki review setting? And still waiting for the video about "how to keep up with medical school while preparing for USMLE step 1" 😉

[@EvolvingMedic]

I’m glad this was motivating for you! Here’s a video where I go through all my Anki settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2sfKGroreLepI I hope it helps!

[@chukwudicharles7916]

Great video man!! Do med students get nervous when you have to do all of this practical work in front of experienced professors?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks!! And I think we all get nervous the first few times but we get used to it

[@AndrewJar]

Did you also practice aseptic technique while inserting catheters? I see that there weren't any sterile fields set up around the models.

[@EvolvingMedic]

We did at first. But for all of us to get multiple reps for about hour the focus was the process of catheter placement. Particularly because the aseptic technique is pretty straight forward

[@alexgibson5313]

Im just now preparing to take the MCAT. Your channel is really inspiring, and has definitely helped me look forward to what I have to come. Do you have any tips on the admissions process? For instance your statement? Or application strategies?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hi Alex! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos and good luck on the MCAT! I’m actually preparing a video on this exact subject that I will try and get out as soon as possible! But I would just recommend highlighting who you truly are and not trying to be someone you may think they want. I hope this makes sense lol, but I’ll go into way more detail in a future video!

[@maddieperkins8137]

[@tyaoliver767]

JR how are you so dedicated to Anki? As soon as I open it and there’s too many due cards I close it IMMEDIATELY 😂😂

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hahah I feel the exact same way a lot of the times! The hardest part is just developing the habit which for me took a few months. But now my brain and body just knows that one of the first things I do when I wake up is my Anki and the routine of it makes it easier for me. But again, I still feel those same things at times 😅

[@rafayz9033]

I’m curious when you get time to write articles like the one you got published. As I get more interested in specialties in led school, I’d love to do the same but when do you get the time ?

[@EvolvingMedic]

It can be tough at times, especially when school is busy. But students interested in research often try and squeeze a couple hours in whenever they can. Weekends are usually good. But it can be challenging to balance it all!

[@rafayz9033]

@@EvolvingMedic Thank you! Balance is a constantly recurring theme that I see come up time and time again, not only in careers but also in personal relationships. As someone who is married, has a child, and is in medical school, what are a couple tips you can give us future physicians to help bring balance into our daily routines?

[@whatitisnt.]

Dude you got to get an remote start for your car so you could turn on your car from your phone 20 minutes before arriving to your car

[@Studying.Femininity]

This might be a silly question but do you study everyday? I know anki is an everyday thing but other than that I am just curious! I am an incoming MS1 and I used anki to study for the MCAT I really loved it so Im planning on definitely using it during medical school as well. During some of my interviews the student interviews would talk about taking the whole weekend off of studying or at least a Saturday/Sunday. Is this common?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Definitely not a silly question! I personally do my Anki everyday but quite a few of my classmates and friends from other schools do exactly what you said and take weekends off. It really just depends on what you find works for you.

[@Studying.Femininity]

@@EvolvingMedic good to know. Thank you :)

[@mikesaint2831]

I made mistake in not doing anki during break(Christmas and summer). Definitely continue!!

[@Studying.Femininity]

@@mikesaint2831 I will! Did you only do reviews or new cards as well?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you!!

[@eduardogrullon696]

Do you create your own anki? If you dont, do you just do 700 urology cards and hope that what you learned is on the final?

[@EvolvingMedic]

I don’t create my own cards. I use the Anking deck. My courses use NBME exams for our finals which correspond to the premade Anking deck very well

[@frontrow9233]

Do you get days off from studying too much? So basically the opposite of a busy day.

[@EvolvingMedic]

Definitely less busy days! I have some more “chill day” vlogs on my channel that show what that looks like because they definitely still exist lol
