getting my first residency interview & teaching med students | Rachel Southard

[@RachelSouthard]

Are you guys excited to try Care/of? Let me know what you think!

[@caroliiinee87]

Can collagen be absorbed through the intestines in that form?

[@evadawn5745]

I took the quiz but I wish more places like Care/of would take into account the people who have had bariatric surgery.

[@ashleyh8352]

I wish there was more of a disclosure around the collagen - it's basically just a protein supplement. Your body only digests it as proteins (amino acids) - it doesn't absorb it as collagen and then uses it directly as collagen. It would be great for you to mention that too!

A shoutout to Rachel’s roommates!!! Thank you for helping her feel welcome, safe, and all that good stuff. Wishing you the best in your studies too! ~Mama Tiffany

[@RachelSouthard]

Tiffany! That's so sweet. I'm going to show them this comment.

[@minelitarverdian]

I rarely, if ever get starstruck! But the way I got excited when I walked in CMR and saw you was nothing short of it. You are just as sweet and kind as you appear in your videos. My only regret is that I did not ask for a photo! Thanks for your videos and thank you for talking to us 🥰🥰

[@RachelSouthard]

😭we can take a photo next time I see you. You’re so sweet. ♥️🥹

[@elizapatterson6423]

im not going into the medical field at all, just a 19 year old uni student form melbourne, aus but i still find these videos soo inspiring and motivating to work hard and find such joy and passion in a career. you rock and it's gonna be so cool when you can look back at these once you're a super successful obgyn and laugh at everything that happened :)

[@tiffanybusby4248]

Rachel, HUGE congrats on the interviews! Totally understand your explanation of why the number of them is private, but thank you for sharing that you have good news! After watching you study for years, it is very satisfying to watch it pay off for you. 😊

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you :)

[@katemichelle]

Congratulations!! So excited that you are getting some interviews! I appreciate that you are being sensitive to those students who may not have gotten interviews yet, but don’t let that take away your excitement over yours!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you Katie! :)

[@kathleenrolfe4405]

I owe a LOT to getting my interview for an incredibly competitive post-grad (Neuropsychology) to you! I’ve felt like I’ve missed a lot and friends have drifted the past 5 years I’ve been working full time and studying full time. It’s been a lot, but your videos have always been a huge inspiration and a reminder to stay on track and to keep working hard. Your videos helped me feel less lonely in pursuing my own goals. Best of luck to you for your interviews, and thank you! (Sorry I’ve not expressed gratitude until now, this is my first ever KZbin comment 😅)

[@RachelSouthard]

Awh thank you Kathleen!!

[@WittyKitten]

I've had an exam every week for the past 6 weeks and finally got a weekend off! Excited to watch ❤

[@melissacordova3633]

Hey Rachel: I always enjoy your videos. Started watching in 2019-2020 while I was in school for my MSN (Master of Science in Nursing) in Family Nurse Practitioner. I graduated in May 2021 and now practice as a NP in Gastroenterology Specialty outpatient and inpatient. I love my job!! I want to thank you for being so open, honest, real, vulnerable and kind to share your journey because it really helped me push forward and refocus when I needed it the most. You reminded me that I was not alone, I was not the only one going through school struggles and that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Every experience prepares you and molds you in the provider that you will become. Thank you!!! I want to get a Herd Crest crewneck sweatshirt but I’m not sure how it runs. I’m 5’2 and weight 126 lbs. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Best wishes on all your upcoming interviews. You are going to rock them all, no doubts!! You are going to be an awesome OBGYN 👍🏼

[@RachelSouthard]

Hi Melissa! That's amazing. I'm so proud of you. :) Good job for pushing through! You'd be a Small! It's unisex sizing it (it's a champion hoodie). I'm 5'5" and 145lbs and i wear a medium. And thank you so much for all of your support. You're the sweetest.

[@mattpel7319]

Congratulations on all your interviews! As a pre-med student, your content continues to inspire me! Also, Dino chicken nuggets are legit my favorite :)

[@RachelSouthard]

Awh thank you!! I love Dino nuggets. So freakin good

[@ataulkarim8809]

Is this the same apartment where you were living with Yeahyea and other 2 med students few years back? the kitchen kinda looks same. Btw when I just do a rewind in my mind of how you went to med school and now to residency, it just inspires me so much ❤

[@RachelSouthard]

Yes!!😊 so glad you remembered

i am soooo proud of you rachel! congratulations!! ✨ it really does feel like it's all of us rejoicing with you on this journey! been watching since your very first vlog of year 1 medical school. your work ethic inspires me and i feel like bc of watching you i've really chased the grit for my career as well!! i ended up working now as a linguist and run my own bookstore in my free time. i watch you weekly to get the motivation to keep up with it all 😂 can't wait to see what's next!

[@CarolannJane]

also i love watching you too bc i feel connected to my mom when i do. she passed in 2020 and she was a nurse in CA for a long time! she loved medicine and wanted all of her kids to be doctors. none of us ever did but when i started watching your vlogs regularly i talked about it with her a couple times & it was cool to see her light up to talk about medicine!!
