LIFE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL | 3rd Year of Medical School VLOG

3rd year of medical school is be tough and challenging because of the different rotations you have to do as a med student. The rotation I'm currently doing is pediatrics. In this video, I show what my regular day is like as a third year medical school student doing her pediatrics rotations. In summary, my day consists of waking up early, going to my lectures/rotations, sneaking in a workout before finally studying for my shelf exam(a exam most 3rd and 4th year medical school students take after their rotation)
I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog! If you have any questions/comments/or just wanna say hello, leave it in the comments section below :)

In love with your vlogs! so motivating and informational

[@jorgedelagarza8897]

Highlight of my Saturday ! ❤️☝🏼️🍍

[@lazygamer1358]

I just started my GCSE biology and chemistry courses. I really want to be a doctor most of my siblings say it's a bad idea even though I passed Key Stage 3 with A+ in science each year. My teachers are supporting me though. Good luck I love your vlogs so much

[@chloeglynn2054]

LazyGamer135 same

[@obscuraxxxx]

i support dank meemz on this. my family wanted me to be a doctor but i didn't want to be, so i chose engineering because i thought that was good enough for them and what they wanted me to do. i HATED it and i made sooo many mistakes with it, it was literally the worst thing ever ugh. now i'm following my dream of becoming a game designer.

[@sarahj2106]

How did it work out for you lazy gamer.

[@annied3786]

@@sarahj2106 that’s a little passive aggressive sarah

[@jessicak2530]

You will surely do well on your exams Jamie...I also appreciate that you add the time on your videos and explain terms such as self exam. As usual great vlog xx

[@Alexiie0]

Just found your channel and can't stop watching! Definitely leaves me excited for the years to come :) x

[@namina25]

so encouraging. I love that just watching you makes me want to rearrange my day and helps me understand my friends who are in medical school!

[@sabaaazher4575]

Love these vlogs!!

[@zainabmalik4571]

I love your videos. I've been binge watching them. I think I can actually relate to you. You're style forward unlike most people in med school. I hope you do really well in life

[@girlwreckless]

Yes! So glad you mentioned the sugar - juice factor. We get some great vitamins in, but also get a ridiculous amount of sugar (and fructose is harder for the body to process than regular ole glucose as well).

[@girlwreckless]

(And a lady at Whole Foods in line in front of me begged me to buy the caffeine chocolates because they were so tasty .. and proceeded to give me one to try in the parking lot, haha.)

[@carallife]

Hey, hope u are doing well. Continue to remain positive as u continue to make a difference and do well regardless of how it may seem.

[@iBeauty08]

I'm so happy that I finally found KZbin channel like this. I'm also a medical student and also it's my 3rd year of studying medicine. It's so interesting to watch this videos from someone like you but who lives in another country :)

I'm so glad I found your channel last year, you motivate me so much, and I can also relate because I'm in med school as well, but here we have a different system. Anyways, LOVE this kind of videos where you just kind of vlog throughout the day, they're my favorite. Good luck with your exams, stay strong!! Sending love from Spain xx

[@nataliealves3889]

You are amazing! You inspire me to improve continuously, day by day... and I hope next year I'll finally get into medical school. Thanks for keeping this canal, greetings from Brazil!

[@caraghabrielledorsett5460]

So glad I stumbled upon your VLOGS :D hope you did well on your exam. It's so cool that the hospital gave you cafe money; I wish we had that here.

[@Paige-tt5rp]

Okay but I have been binge watching her vids and am obsessed

[@nolabeats2015]

Stumbled across your channel and am enjoying watching -- I'm a second year IM resident now, but remember 3rd year of med school well. You're doing a great job depicting what it's like so that others can get a window into our world :)

[@AnikavyaJaiswal]

Hey Jamie! :) You are an inspiration for me. Thanks for your suggestions. It is really helping me.

[@beccastatzer9225]

Best of luck on your exam! You'll rock it!

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Her vlogs are awesome! :)

[@themovieonyoureyelids]

I'm also finishing peds and completely in love with neonatal care 💜 I never thought I would consider pediatrics, but this rotation really got me.

[@Moonlight2girl]

I just found your channel and even though i'm an engineering student I find your videos super relatable!!

[@riannamae6796]

I love how you add the little bitmojis! never seen a youtuber do that

[@exlibrislily7444]

I don't know if it helps, but I find eating an apple wakes me up better than coffee in the morning. It also helps not want to go to the bathroom when I have an 8am - 10am meeting first thing! x

[@abhinavreddy6302]

Amazing Vlog. You're improving with each vlog. ALL THE VERY BEST for your exams Jamie!

[@deealh6235]

[@laurap.h6439]

i just started my med school few months ago (a fetus here) and yeah there is no day without studying even the weekend i have to keep my study on track if not all my schedule will be fucked up.

[@LittleXuanVi]

I looooove you videos! They inspire me so much and motivate me to reach my goal of becoming a physician. I'm still a pre-med and hope to be accepted into one of my top 10 medical schools. Good luck with everything :D

[@elebs86]

Good Luck on Peds Exams...Lots of love from Greece💙💙💙💙

[@shielamariejara9087]

[@SugarButterBread]

I really love your vlogs! It’s interesting to know that medical students from other countries are not all that different 🤗

[@DavielleWhymns]

You're videos are so inspirational. Keep studying hard! 加油吧！

[@studyblrloading8960]

yay! I'm so pumped that your next rotation is OB/GYN, that's the field I'm the most interested in. I'm excited to see how you like it :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I'm super excited too :D

[@teenwolfgirl211]

i love obgyn i want to specialize in it

[@Dianaperne]

hey! Very nice video. Since you asked, maybe more medically oriented giveaways? I never knew there were other options than the same old instruments our teachers used before us. Goodluck for your shelf exam!

[@zenzen2270]

Perfect vlog as always 😊🌸💎

[@Leslie-wc5nm]

Hey beautiful!!! I hope you do super in your exam!!! Thanks for the great videos and I'll keep you in my prayers so you A's that exam😉😘

[@GeminiPeach81]

I was gonna buy some Naked juice this morning but read the macros and was like....nah. I bought unsweet tea. So funny that you mentioned this in the video!

[@trisamaulidya6820]

[@maribearr]

u are such an inspiration to me ☺

[@CCCrypto]

Thank you I really love these vlogs. I've just started vlogging myself and I wish I had this style its fantastic. I've a lot to learn.

[@garoofiya]

Gosh I hated my peds rotation, we had a patient who bit anyone who tried to examine him. All of us med students caught the flu at some point during the rotation. Gyne was a lot more enjoyable, busy and the patients were all adults and (mostly) easier to work with. Good luck with your exams!

[@GirlMathAndDebt]

you'll do well on your exam

[@cambriarogers3227]

Love all your videos 😊

[@gregquilaneta1339]

I love watching yoir videos! Love from the Philippines❤️

[@aakritikashyap6803]

lots of love.... awesum vid❤️❤️

[@RusselNguyen]

dude....you were literally at 150 subs like 2 minutes ago, now you at 50k goddamn. i've noticed that on some channels if you switch the focus of it and it gets views, you just blow up man

[@wendyurenaprincesspoetry1921]

You have a amazing videos. Gladly watching your vlog but you motivate me to study, I'm about to go back to grad school next year but I'm not into medical field of medicine but my major is Psychology minor Child Development to Adolescence. I wish I would win Stethoscope but I'm not in Medical field but you did amazing for your video. Keep up good work and good luck for your exams.

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Wendy Urena thank you ❤💓

[@angelinespongy]

i need more video like this. dont know why

[@dancingwiththedocs134]

Another great video! I always enjoy a new video each weekend. Just starting college and wanting to pursue medicine, you' always inspire me to keep going when I start to get overwhelmed. Thank you! :) I'm looking forward to next weeks already. :) Also, love your bridesmaid dresses you posted on Snapchat. I love the creme one the best!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

aww thank you!!! the bridesmaid dress will be in some shade of purple (choice of the bride haha) but I loved that color as well! It was super fun to try on different styles of dresses :)

[@dancingwiththedocs134]

Lol! Whatever makes the bride happy, right?Purple sounds nice, too, though. :)

[@siddhitripathi9803]

all the best for your xam ;) your videos are really great..;)

[@1024specialkay]

loving your weekly videos! How many hours do you usually sleep?

[@Wid]

Whoa your days are so hectic!

[@elisasardesalon7242]

i love your vlogs and i love your voice i have so many questions!!!!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thank you

[@airsports2012]

I love you Vlogs! I start pre Med tomorrow and I am inspired to do a vlog through college and med school, and tips?

[@AvrilXRox]

It would be great if you can do a video on what you eat before your workout, especially on days when it is unplanned and you sneak in some exercise whenever you can. Like if you eat your lunch, and later you have time to hit the gym, would you grab a protein drink or workout without eating anything after the lunch. If there is anyone who can help me with this, please leave your answers too. Thanks!

[@kimberlyluchiu2819]

Good luck in third year!! xx -second yr med student

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks! Good luck with second year!

[@parislloyed5413]

Please do a video about staying out of home and the process required etc

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Will keep in mind!

[@october5238]

I'm really thinking about becoming a doctor I'm doing my pre-reqs for nursing but i wanna go beyond that I just don't know if I'm smart enough to become a doctor ....you are an inspiration.

[@Jen5709]

Thank you for sharing your note taking skills!! P2 student 😊💊

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Jenifer George You might find this video helpful ☺️: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kISnhXWkqbyorZo

[@Jen5709]

Yes I was talking about that video! 😊

[@johnmarkflores3600]

I love watching your videos because I learn so much more than just catching a glimpse of the medical field. Thanks for always educating and entertaining us every Saturday!!! Good Luck this Friday for SHELF! and stay away from the Pepsi branded NAKED juices. They really are a scam

[@wfpdoc]

Just to let you know, my wife and I ordered the smoothies you used in your last video (Daily Harvest). We "smoothie" quite a bit - these are great for on the go! Thanks for introducing us to them! BTW - I've been a pediatrician for almost 25 years - still love it! I remember those long days of studying (before computers, of course). Every peds exam (including my peds boards and my recertification boards [those come every 10 years]) hits development a bunch - questions like a child is able to do this, this, this and this - how old would you expect the child to be. Also endocrine is big - most questions start out with heights and weights and you need to be able to pick out those endocrine syndromes (some genetic stuff, too) from recognizing the child's short stature. Good luck on your peds exam! OB/gyn is a great rotation, too (it was the only other specialty I ever considered). You will have time for meals - they just might not happen at meal time! As you have already noticed, there is really no greater rush than to witness the birth of a child... I guess that's why I love peds so much!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I'm so glad you and your wife enjoy Daily Harvest! Their smoothies are so great! Yes, I saw tons of developmental milestone type of questions during my prep for the exam. It was cool to see it being checked in a private practice setting as well. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello!

[@sunny_maz44]

I love your necklace ❤️

[@thehassaankhalid]

hey! Thank you for uploading these videos. Keep up the great work & good luck with your future exams. ps: what video - editing software do you use?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Baba Jee thanks! I use final cut pro.

[@mmjaaay]

you´re gonna be such a good Dr.!

[@ValVlogs]

love how you edit your vlogs..how do you get the bitmoji overlays please?

[@JAMfulSeoul]

Hi jamie! You are truly an inspiration to me❤ I just began my freshman year in college on a pre-med track and things went REALLY ROUGH this semester and I'm starting to have LOTS of doubts...do u have any advice?

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Hi Jamie, the peds rotation sounds so cool! Good luck on your exam! I was wondering how you continue to eat healthy during medical school?

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Also, I'm team watermelon! :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Hi Nikki! Yay! Haha, one of the few members of the watermelon team! I guess the best way to eat healthy is prepping your meals. Sometimes timing doesn't allow for meal prep and in those situation I think planning what your meals are going to be ahead of time helps a lot!

[@hansirodrigo5921]

You are grate ........... encourages me a lot.........

[@hadleigh7465]

Can you do a video on what to major in undergrad on the pre-med track?

[@eyala5858]

caffeine is a diuretic..that's why you shouldn't drink a lot of coffee if you don't want to go to the bathroom..:) good luck with your exam.

[@YoungMacdonald]

Hi there! I'm glad I found your channel :) I was wondering if you have any tips to stay focused while studying? I realised that i have really short attention span and gets distracted SOOOO easily. Not sure if i'm just not determined enough or what :(

[@salraee2457]

hi , your videos are awesome. btw did the chocolate work?

[@najlaela4157]

hello hello , great vlogs , I love em .. I m a third year med student too , keep up the good work. (k)

[@imia6459]

How many rotations are you suppose to do ? Do you chose them ?

[@ree9022]

I'm in OBGYN......go for the protein bars. Sometimes I get lucky and am given 5 mins to eat =/

[@tara_6230]

Whoa, when do you find time to sleep? At the beginning you got up at 5.30 am and at about 11 pm you were still up 😱. And good luck on your exam! 🍀

[@edibe11]

Thinking the same thing woah!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

it's not always like that! haha I was definitely studying longer during the week leading up to my shelf exam. Before that I tried to get anywhere from 6-7 hours of sleep during the week and most definitely 8 hours on weekends!

[@sanamlily240]

i wanna know which book you refer for radiology in final year, and thank you for the videos, they are really helpful

[@DenovoTutor]

Super Motivating! I'm in medical school as well, and just started my own vlog on my channel :)

[@KoolaidSARANGKhJ]

Hi! I love your videos and always check my notifications if a new video is out. I have a question, do you find it useful to play music while studying or find it distracting?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

❤️😀I usually release videos on Saturdays at 12pm EST. Sometimes I'll put on music, it's usually something ambient though cause lyrics can be distracting because I'll start singing along haha

[@MELADDISONCHAN]

do share with us your study music collection! :D

[@Annie-hr9gb]

Hi Jamie! Would you say that the caffeinated chocolates worked for you?

[@ssilva0907]

I recognize the area you are doing your rotation at. Great hospital. I worked in the neurosurgery dept for 6 years. My major is pediatric neurosurgery. What apps do you recommend? What med school did you go to? Sorry just joined your channel and catching up.

[@valeriagomez265]

What do you do to get by? Like clothes, rent, gym membership. Do you have apart time job?

[@enniapena7004]

Saludos desde México!!!

[@Wid]

Ah I wanted to ask you about the lab coats. Since I'm new to this, I would love your advice for selecting a lab coat

[@TheStrivetoFit]

ours were ordered through school so everyone had the same style. I don't have any specific recommendations for white coats but I do like having a lot of pockets :D I would get at least 2 so you can wash them frequently
