Hi guys! There have been multiple comments and questions on how much medical school costs and how med school students pay for school. I talk about it in detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rdnq2Dr61lgZI

[@isamarandrade3850]

TheStriveToFit Hi, I am new to your channel, and your videos are very helpful. I have a question, what jobs would you recommend while being in medical school? Or would you even consider having a job while in med school? I know that everyone works different, but I would like to get some advice from you. I currently work in the hospital and I have found a passion for the medical field and plan on going into medical school. Thanks and again your videos are awesome thanks so much for all the tips and advice you give!!!! ☺️👩🏼‍⚕️❤️

[@Notrealvi]

every time I watch your videos my dream get bigger and bigger 👍👍💪

[@nhutruong4783]

Yes! Same here!

[@sagarp2001]

lelo Same! Even though I'm only a high school junior, watching her makes me want to work harder so I can be like her one day!

[@eyyys1342]

Same, like her videos keeps me grounded and stay focus on my dreams!

[@salmapacheco3136]

lelo same

[@minatozakietuan481]

Same!

[@aw8758]

Please do a video about finances in Med school everyone skirts around the issue but it's very important! Like how you're moving now? Would we have to take out extra loans for that? It would help some of us who want to live this life but might need a reality check love you girl

[@mariahmonae4592]

take the DVD'S and CD's to your local nursing home, the little elderly people will love them.! && sell the books girl!! you bought them, get money back !! even used and like new books sale good on amazon .

[@ThatMedic]

its so weird watching this remembering my ED rotation and thinking in 6 months I'll be starting another as a doctor!!

[@ralphs8818]

so exciting! cant wait to hear your stories

[@TheStrivetoFit]

congrats and good luck!

[@ThatMedic]

thank you jamie!! you'll start before you know it medical school flies by

[@angieawx4839]

How did you like the ED? I'm seriously considering it!

[@pyropower]

I'm not in the medical field but I still enjoy your videos because medicine interests me but also I enjoy your determination and thrive. Definitely applying your work ethic to my computer science studies. Thanks again for these vids.

[@BabyCas99]

You always give me so much motivation to keep going even when everything gets progressively harder. Thank you!

[@gillianpeck6249]

Hi Jamie! You are truly a Proverbs 31 lady (saw your mug!! luvvit!) Cant believe it took me this long to get to your channel but previously I never did youtube "medical school note-taking", hahaha. Anyway, God's timing is always perfect. I'm from Singapore & was in an undergraduate medical course for 2 pre-clinical years much like you, and when I went onto 3rd year I had a relapse of my depression and took a gap year before returning to try 3rd year again. Unfortunately, I relapsed about 3 months in and eventually decided to withdraw to focus on recovery. Thanks be to God the last roughly 2 years have been good, and I'm currently preparing for BMAT at the end of the year to apply to Singapore's other medical school & then UK at the same time. Your videos are SO inspiring and are really putting hope in my soul & a huge grin on my face! Because of the familiar terms you mention & the familiar feelings your sharings evoke :) Just wanted to say that you are an amazing person and I have not a sliver of doubt that you are going to be a SUPER SUPER SUPER AMAZING DOCTOR!!!! Keep going & God bless you!

[@JaneandJady]

we binge watched 13 reasons why haha. super excited for a season 2

[@ruthm1999]

I love your channel so much

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Sounds like such a busy and exciting week! Good luck deciding what residencies to apply to ☺️

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks Nikki! Good luck with applications :)

[@itstommy16]

Hey Jamie, if you like your oats to be a little cold, I would try overnight oats! There are many recipes online, but you basically (as the name entails) soak your oats in milk overnight and they end up really "fluffy" and absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I'm gonna google some recipes :)

[@emb6610]

I want to be an ER doctor so, so much and I got excited when I saw this video haha. I'm studying super hard in high school and plan on majoring in Biochem and Spanish. Hopefully, I'll get there someday :)

[@austindavert4877]

Awesome job playing the clarinet! I was in band in middle school and high school, and I enjoyed it! You're amazing Jamie!

[@SaraRangel]

Half Off books are one of many places who buy old dvds and books! You won't get huge amount of money back but at least is something if you can find one in your area.

[@priestlaaris8208]

Thank you for your vlogs and the videos that give us information on what medical school is like. You have seriously motivated me to want to become a doctor even more. You made me understand the hard work that it takes and focus. I pray and hope you become an amazing doctor, you deserve it. Thank you.

[@anjalipanchal4964]

You are so motivating! I want to got to med school to and the only thing that keeps me going are both your channels! Thank you so much!!!!! Love form Canada

[@crazynfreaky99]

Jamie looks especially happy in this rotation 😄

[@mariasevere]

OMG, those are the same reasons I want to do emergency medicine! You always get to see something different. I am so excited for you. I can tell you are enjoying this rotation!

[@rakiiiz]

I just graduated from my pre-med which is Occupational Therapy. you really inspire me in many ways Jaime! good luck to your venture! love youuuu! ❤

[@marwaslibrary9363]

although im a senior student planning on heading to med school next year but i love to watch your videos. they really give me a lot of motivation to study and aim towards my dream. thank you for taking the time to make such material☺️💛

[@janecabangbang2777]

I would like to complement your vlogs Ms. Jamie! 😊 I'm from the Philippines and I currently am a third year student in my premed course (biology), your vlogs so far have the most chill approach to demonstrating what med school is like, I just like the way you share your day to day experiences and it inspires me to do good when it's my time to attend med school, too 😊 love everything, especially how you encourage people to do stuffs other than acads like staying healthy and fit 😊

[@StephanieScicli]

Do you think it is possible to be physically challenged, and go through medical school? This is a serious question, so please no ugly comments.

[@TaraAlice]

Hey, what physical problem do you have? I have a disability called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and sometimes I get so scared that I won't be able to handle med school, but I honestly think anything is possible so I'm going for it. :)

[@StephanieScicli]

TaraAlice hey there :) I have had both hips replaced, and have my spine fused. I'm an orthopaedic nightmare, but I can't imagine not going to medical school. I would love to study dermatology, and go to poor countries and help, it's not like I'm planning on being a surgeon. Thank you for taking this seriously :) I know the hunger for knowledge so well. I wish you the best of luck!

[@StephanieScicli]

What kind of EDS do you have? The one affecting your joints?

[@TaraAlice]

Stephanie Sicily I'm so sorry! ❤️ I understand how frustrating it is to have a body that basically betrays you. Yes I have the one affecting my joints- so I get injured very easily and am often in pain. But I think as long as you have a healthy mind and determination you can definitely do it!! I actually want to go into surgery 🙈 so I know I'm going to have to strengthen my hands and wrists. But I think that no matter the problem there is always some way around it, like with my hands, my right hand gives me so many problems that I've become almost left handed 🙈so there's always a way! The body is amazing at adapting! Good luck ❤️

[@StephanieScicli]

TaraAlice, You are a brave soul. Where are you in schooling? I don't know if there is a way to PM people, but it would be neat to have an army of like people. Maybe if you get to Medschool before me you can tell me how it is? And vice versa? I think as long as you have the passion for it, that the sky is the limit. There are doctors with no disabilities and no passion, but here we are, and I think that bodes well for us.

[@ruthfanfan961]

Thank you for making the point of "when you're off, you're off." I try my best to compartmentalize because there happens to be so much distraction around

[@helmandkhan837]

Got Step 1 in a month. Wish me luck guys!

[@ilariab5870]

Helmand Khan Good luck!! I hope one day I 'll be studying medicine like you are now

[@helmandkhan837]

Thanks Illaria. Best of luck to you too!

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Good luck to both of you!

[@kamalaziz4602]

I love when you upload vlogs :) my weekend just got better!!! 💕

[@PinkyyyJ94]

I always watch your videos when ever I have doubts for wanting to become a doctor. Thank you for making such great videos.

[@petluv214]

You can donate the videos to the public library. Love the videos.

[@allthecrazyscience2003]

The Weber concerto! I loved playing that piece (I play clarinet as well!) so many memories...

[@luisgutierrez391]

Hi jaime! I saw the bikes in the background of your video and had an idea. You should take us on a bike tour around the city !!! I remember in one of your videos, you said that you wanted to start riding your bike again. This would be a pretty cool way to do it. I love your videos by the way !!!

[@veronicag9230]

I love these vlogs!!

[@juliabenville]

Candy cracks me up haha

[@richarddabiedeen3533]

DVDs are ancient you should keep them as a collection

[@cupunchy]

Hi Jamie, have been following you a long time ago. I think your current apartment looks awesome. Just curious, why are you moving?

[@astutely]

This is *the* video guys, Jamie said she’s keen to do EM. Hope she matches well. Came back after new latest vids to rewatch this :”)

[@itsMirandaGarcia]

I really want to become a doctor so, these videos are so interesting to me! I love these videos so much!❤️

[@benwarner9494]

I need some textbooks because it's never too early to start studying for med school🤔 even if your still in high school

[@superclarinetgirl]

I used to play the clarinet too! I learned that same Weber concerto hahaha

[@HACKEDCOMMENTSForever]

A thousand times, a thousand times 🎶

[@raissazhafirasulaeman7729]

it IS 11.31 pm right here :"))) so sleepy but i tend to watch the whole beautiful videos😝😝

[@cameliaayouch7034]

Thank you for being a great inspiration Jamie

[@itsjustme2255]

Question: Did you take out extra loans for things like rent, food, utilities, etc? Or do you have savings that you're using?

[@TubeDeviant]

Where's "Sex In The City: The Complete Series"..!?!? Glad you are enjoying your emergency department rotation.. Sounds soooo interesting, fun and I'm sure it keeps you on your toes..!!

[@heloisahoneskomedeirosgarb9683]

Please make a video about your new apartment!! Are you moving to the city?

[@qboobq]

you seem so happy in EM!

[@shimmercandy15]

Loved this kind of video!! Pls do more

[@AuraAzarcon]

i keep thinking i can't do rotation vlogs cos I can't film in the hospital for obvious reasons but this turned out to be still very interesting! :) will see if i can do one now. thanks for the inspiration!

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Aura Azarcon Jamie's vlogs are so inspiring for us premed students too 😊 hope you're doing well in med school!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Def do one! Can't wait to watch it :)

[@ankitalodh5062]

Early squad say hey!❤

[@Notrealvi]

Ankita Lodh heyyy after i watched the video

[@dania9955]

My name is Dania too . This is so random but I was happy to see my name in your video 😂😂

[@thedoctorslounge1521]

I am so glad I am not the only one who loves Boy Meets World and owns the DVDs! I wish Mr. Feeny could teach immunology. Also, anyone still craving more medical school/residency vlog goodness this morning check out my new channel. Im starting residency this July and will be live streaming, vlogging, and answering questions throughout the process! Thanks guys!

[@messymakersmind]

Love this video xx

[@angellightfoot1099]

Okay serious question... You might have answered this on a video before but I've been wondering.... Since you're a full time med student and you don't work, how do you pay for everything? Do you work Summer's only? Take out loans specifically for bills? Did you save up or do your parents help you? I'm considering going to medical school but I would rather not work so I can focus on school, I think saving money up would be the best option but I would just like to hear what other people have done to handle there bills! (:

[@jitpersaud3989]

Angel ASMR you have a salary in med school.... you are working and a student

[@dreamalittle89]

Uhhhh no most students I know definitely don't have a salary. Most people take out FAFSA loans (usually ~40,000/ year if they have in state tuition to cover tuition and living expenses). It's scary that you end accumulating a lot of debt and interest but it's very common and in the long run, you'll end up paying it off with your future salary.

[@yvonnechueh]

lol no you definitely do not get a salary in med school

[@doctor_ej]

Hey! I'll be posting a video about this next week since I get this question a lot too. We do not get a salary, but we have the option to take out government and private loans to pay for our tuition and living expenses. I'll break it down in more detail next week if you're interested!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Hey! I actually did talk about it before in detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rdnq2Dr61lgZI Hope you find it useful!

[@calxxx]

please include meal planning during the week/ day! :)

[@lishaerwin]

can you do a video about money in med school? :) great videos btw.

[@lccoffeeholic2967]

you can also donate to the public library if your school won't accept them anymore

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into this :)

[@surabhisubramanya]

Hey Jamie. This is one of your best vlogs. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I truly appreciate your time management skills handling your ED rotations, studying and KZbin! WOW. You inspire me a lot. I'm actually an engineer who just got done with grad school, and look at me, I'm spending my break before work watching your vlogs! :) Keep going. I love your channel.

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Yay thanks!

[@surabhisubramanya]

:)

[@abronrodriguez8692]

[@anamayagoitia9124]

hi i am a medical student from mexico and i find your video really helpful. can you do a video about retaining long term important information and not only for an exam! i would really appreciate it.😙😆

[@AngelCruz-sk7fy]

ana mayagoitia ya tiene un vídeo de eso, busca en los vídeos pasados ;)

[@juliusverkovich6025]

Omg you listen to Alt-J!!! I'm kinda curious about your music taste now :p

[@maribearr]

Thanks for the vid jamie!

[@lostangel912]

Hello :) I really like your channel. Could you please (if you have not yet elsewhere) outline the books per subject/rotation covered? I see you already have 3-5 books for some areas. Thank you!

[@justincosta9282]

What did you end up deciding to do with those texbooks? lol :)

[@jessicagrubb7134]

What type of doctor are you aspiring to be? :) I love your videos!!

[@fuzzybeatle]

I agree with the questions about medical school and finances. What town or area are you in? How do you afford living expenses? I always wondered how people can live out on their own while in medical/pharmacy school (I'm contemplating pharmacy school)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I talk about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rdnq2Dr61lgZI

[@kakakaylee5238]

do an apartment tour!! ❤️❤️

[@isaiahjackson3444]

I’m going to be in 9th grade in September 2018, I’ve also been in BAND for 3 years so far, I play percussion in concert and marching band I also play clarinet in concert😁😁 but I love your videos cause I want to go into medical in my future and ur videos are so honest and awesome 👏🏼 any advice you have for high school students 🤔

[@carasmussen27]

Quick question if you are still in school for another year why do you have to move? Can't imagine anyone wanting to live in NYC. it would be so scary to me

[@susiemckeon1914]

where do you go to med school? and where did you get your bachelor's degree? i am assuming that you have probably answered this before but i am a new subscriber!

[@destinysands7263]

Emergency medicine and psychiatry are my top choices...well, for now. Is em a never ending rush of exhaustion or are there option to expand? Also, what are the best medical specialties for medical missions? or for underserved areas in the United States?

[@julianeng5864]

hi jamie do u think its still possible for me to study in a medical sch if i work hard now in tertiary education, even though my results are terrible in my past secondary education? :(

[@SXu-dd3bv]

Jamie your videos are so inspiring! I clicked on this sooo fast! I love emergency medicine, even if I'm not planning to be any kind of doctor!😂 By the way, do you watch TV shows like Chicago Med? I know in one of the videos you said you are watching Grey's Anatomy. P.s: I love you and your videos, study hard and please keep making videos!

[@savannahsilvas6250]

Can you do a video on how you prepare for lecture?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Hi I talk about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kISnhXWkqbyorZo

[@carolinesmith6418]

Are you going for your MD or DO

[@medcrastinator457]

Hey Jamie, I just want to know where is the most effective study area? and what kind of lighting do I need to get more focused? I see your study area is quite comfortable...

[@nickorange4881]

do you ever get some digital versions ? do you keep certain hard copy books ?

[@laurabartha606]

How do you do the music? Do you always buy them, then you can use them for you own videos? Thanks!

[@oscarbacon6181]

Love 13 reasons why! What episode are you on?

[@anasianperson]

Oscar Bacon I finished it awhile ago. It's really good if you ask me. The ending will piss you off because they didn't answer all the questions they brought up.

[@MarizaaaT]

i don't know if you've explained this already but why are you moving?

[@saineeleshreddy]

Any tips to pass the step 1 with good scores?

[@TheAnabananaaaa]

So what are your thoughts about 13 reasons why? If you had your psychology class already? :) By the way, I just got my results from national medical admissions, got good grades!! And about to graduate to my premed course (nursing). 😅 thank you for pushing me to my best you are such an inspiration
