Hello, Dr Jabbal, I have been watching your videos regarding medical school and medicine since senior year of my high school. I am a first generation about to be pre- med student this fall 2020. I am nervous since I am the first female to go to college. I have fears I may not succeed. As none in my household has been to college. I look around for someone to tell me that yes ! I can do it and I will. Recently I won a full ride scholarship to University of Missouri St. Louis. I am very blessed. I want to thank you for your time which you inspire millions. I pray a day comes when I can be a doctor, an immigrant student who wishes to break the odds and be a female Muslim doctor!

[@DoctorWheatear]

Hope you're doing alright

[@matthewscorner2990]

So I'm not watching this because I desire a career in medicine. I'm watching this because I'm writing a story in which one of the characters is going through medical school and later on become a doctor, so I needed to know what the process was and how to weave it into the plot. And holy shit, there's a LOT I need to keep track of. I'm so glad I did, because if this story ever becomes publicly viewed and the character goes from her last year of med school one year to being a full on doctor the next, I would get REEMED for inaccuracies.

[@cllvibs]

Hi, sorry I'm late here, but do you mind sharing the title of your story, please? I'm quite intrigued to read that, since doctors stories are super interesting for me

[@matthewscorner2990]

@@cllvibs It's not exactly an original story, which is part of the reason it may never be publicly available. It's a TMNT story, the character in question being April. At the moment, it's basically a fanfiction with a very VERY small audience. I only have episode one written so far. If you're interested, it's on Archive of Our Own. Should just be titled TMNT Show or something like that, with the posters being myself and TheOnlyTarkles.

you should start it once you finish a majority of your core classes such as gen chem, bio classes, physics 2, and Orgo chem. U can however self study many of these topics before taking the MCAT itself. Source: I'm taking the mcat in a couple of months.

[@shivanishastri4285]

I work as a pre-health mentor and because I spend time in the office. I heard the advisor say that your GPA matters more as a pre-PA than a pre-med because there’s no MCAT or extra-circulars to evaluate you on. So I know I heard her tell a student if you’re getting close to a B+, try your best to turn it into an A. Also upon further googling the competition is greater. There’s a 31% acceptance rate whereas with MD programs it’s 40% or maybe higher because some do end up choosing the DO route because of their own choice not as a back up. Also, a pre-PA friend told me they need more clinical hours and scribing may not count. It could very specific about needing that patient contact. Just keep in touch with the PA school you would like to attend to know them well. So essentially, it’s a little more competitive but there are perks such as flexibility with many specialties.

In Europe, you can apply to medical school right after high-school. It's basically treated as a 6 year, BA plus MA programe, although that varies from country to country. Its 6 years long, where 3 are preclinical, and 3 clinical. After that you're a doctor of primary care, in most countries you're required to do a year of internship. After that you can apply for a specialisation, or residency. They're not as organised as in the US, at least here where I study. The local government basically dictates how many there will be. You can become a doctor at 24 years old here, tho that's rare since most people repeat a year or two.

Emergency medicine please? I wanna know about it more, I wanted to be a surgeon but i just dont know are they the same or not, probably not but I would really like to know

[@mr.ssj3847]

I shadowed in the ER and all I can say is that they handle a lot of medical cases for most of their shifts(diabetes, drunk people, cardiac issues, cardiac arrests and events) and when a trauma comes in(stab wounds, fractures, etc.) the surgeons are the ones that come to assess and stabilize while the ER physicians handle the medical management of them (blood, intubations, ordering solutions and medications to be given) putting in lines, etc.) there was one time where a person came in with esophageal varices and was bleeding, the GI doc came in to cauterize the bleed but the patient was to unstable to move into the OR so they had to put in a blakemore tube. basically this was the doc trying to stuff a catheter in the patients mouth and down the esophagus to block the bleed. the ER physicians told me this was about as procedurally heavy as it gets for them, medically this was a very complex case to manage and there were a lot of things to take into consideration but procedurally, what i saw was objectively very simple and i found myself spacing out. But when i saw an orthopedic surgeon drill into someones leg and provide traction for a gunshot victim, that was far more interesting to me but medically the only thing done was he was given pain meds. maybe an ER physician could be trained in doing a procedure like that but they wouldn't do it in practice because orthopedics would be there to do it. I believe this is what its like as for the differences between the 2 in the emergency setting.

I've also dissected brains and removed a tumor from a sheep's brain in 8th grade but the sheep was dead so I don't think its quite the same because there was 0 risk of hurting the patient so im debating on whether I want to be a brain surgeon or a general surgeon. Physics is important but Im not too good at it and I don't want to get a B or C and not have that solid grade. In the math department im kinda slacking because I took a year-long Alg 1 class last year which was a big mistake but if I double up the junior year and take pre-calc and trig I should be able to take Calc my senior year and be prepared for Med School. Im taking AP Gov to branch into sociology or maybe European History. And Im taking Orchestra as my art class, and I play field hockey, run track in summer and winter so sports year-round. I've completed the required community service hours im at 70 but of course, I need more which will be a little harder because of the national pandemic right now. I think Im on a decent path right now but I don't know. I have so many classes I want and need to take but Im limited to only 8 haha!

Omg we are deadass the same. I also raised my parents expectations on me about being a surgeon and I am scared to fail at it. I am also 15, so I have a long way to go. I am in a medical program this year where we will be learn about anatomy and doing hands on experience in hospitals. I am currently taking Chem and that’s literally the only science class expect for APES but ya. I hope we both do good and get the path we want! good luck 🍀

@@ash-s.9089 Sorry I didn't reply :( yea it's a little hard but our parents wouldnt have high expectations if they didn't think we could it♥️ One day we'll be Doctors!! I hope everything goes well with you :)

[@gracedlm]

@@ash-s.9089 good luck to you too

[@edithgonzalez1301]

I really want to be a doctor because the human body has always just fascinated me and I think it’s amazing how it works, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for that type of commitment to go to school for more than half a decade.

[@joellewilliams5262]

more than a decade

[@SK-ov8iz]

Mr Jubal can u make a video of how to become a family physician steps. Thanks

[@ismelisbeth7207]

Im going to my sophomore year and i suck in science but ill try my best

[@MOHAMMEDCHAGHLIL]

I was the same in high school then I did way better in college (although it needs lots of effort) but high school science isn't a concern (unless you apply to competitive universities )

[@Bigeasymafia225]

I start LSU in august and I’m majoring in biology. Wish me luck!

[@vivianaj8733]

I wish I had this back in high school!! Even college lol

[@clarenceloie8995]

Could you do a "So you want to be an anesthesiologist."

[@Foimay]

Would going to a community College then transferring to a 4year for junior and senior year make it harder for me to get into medical school or even completely cut my chances? I'm not the strongest student out there but I'm slightly above average. I'm a junior with a 3.6 unweighted gpa, but I have a 32ACT score and I'm pretty confident in my ability to perform well above average in the sat. The only college that's a good drivable distance from me is a community College, and for personal reasons I don't really want to leave my mother by herself, at least for a while until I build up my savings, and we don't really have the means for her to move close to my university. The added benefit of the community College being completely free for anyone who has a 3.0gpa and above is also a big part of me considering it.

[@healingofthelambministry]

Community College is totally fine and will help you save money! As long as you get good grades, pass your classes & your college credits you’re in good hands!

[@lifeofamaka6479]

So informational. I can not wait to become a medical doctor. Life long dream.

[@-ChristianRF]

I’m a dual enrolled senior, I graduate from HS with an associate’s degree and I have a part time at Adidas. What does the community recommend for me to do to strengthen my path towards medicine?

[@anyakaur9406]

Since you're a part-timer in Adidas then you should have enrolled to a Podiatry/Podiatric Med school since you have background on people's foot and shoes. At least, you don't have to quit such job since Podiatry schools don't have midnight rotations at the hospital.

[@samb8519]

Just make you all sure you can handle the stress, the responsibility, the terrible hours at work, sleepless nights. For many people it is just a dream based on Grey’s Anatomy. The reality is cruel and hard. My life is just in the hospital. There is no time and no energy left for anything else. Reconsider pretty well before you decide to really do this

[@shivikumar2120]

Is it possible to get a full ride to Med School?

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

It is absolutely possible, check out our video on the cost of medical school which discusses full-ride scholarships: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4mWnq2dZqyens0

[@asyasmith7370]

I just wanted to confirm something. For the MCAT if we wanted to take a gap year, wouldn’t we take it during April or June senior year? Since it takes about a year for the whole process. But if we take it spring of junior year, and apply for med school summer between Junior year and senior, we would go fall of next year

[@jkdfnjwle2833]

I'm 12 And I really wanna become a dermatologist! Thank You, Dr. Jubbal for explaining the path to becoming a doc!!
