Medical School Survival Guide

A very informative and mind provoking lecture.I think its a key to do well in med school.

The sleep schedule and learning techniques were quite enlightening and informative

Very useful for me, a student medical , thanks for Kevin Ahern

In my opinion these concept are totally necessary. Great video

Because it really worked for me and now i’m able to manage my timetable and study well. Big thanks to team lecturio !

La idea es buena, da puntos clave, pero aplicado a México, es un panorama distinto, pero muy bien el video

As an entering m1 , I found this to be Great advice, very beneficial to me! I thought I knew it all in undergrad, but one week into med school has taught me I have a long way to go

I liked it very much with all the tips info what to do and warnings thank you lecturio

This lecture is very good and recommended to all pre-med students!

Desde mi punto de vista, el contenido está completo en aspectos que debemos atender los estudiantes de medicina, al tomar este curso simplemente visualicé la mayoría de los consejos que toma tiempo y diversas experiencias conocer pero expuestos en tan solo unos minutos; aunque ya estoy por terminar este grado, sigue siendo de gran apoyo gracias a que la disposición curricular en mi Universidad es distinta. Lo recomendaría a cualquier estudiante de medicina con el compromiso y la disposición a superarse en la carrera.

I like very much! Go ahead! Thank you for your hard work.

The depth and meaning of terms like 'diversity' and 'professionalism' are very clearly and nicely explained. There was no part of the lecture which is worth disliking. I'd definitely want to recommend this lecture not only to the people who are aspiring to get into a Med school, but to any person who is pursuing any professional degree at the moment

Thank you Dr.Mo for the lecture, it'll help me alot.

I chose a 5 star rating because, the lecture was not "so much thrown at you in so little time" the video was explained well and was effective.

I truly wish I had known about this prior to attendance! It would have prepared me for the rigors to come.

Awesome tips! Will watch this again a couple of times (spaced repitition)!

me gusto por que te centra en la realidad de quien eres a donde vas y el motivo por que vas a cierta direccion

Looks good with subtitles I can't wait to start now, amazing!!!!

Me parece genial lo que dice en todo momento una conferencia sin duda muy simple y directa

These lectures are excellent, simply put and provide effective keys towards getting message across to sell self through the power of creative communication. Enhanced ability to connect to audience panel /interviewer is much the same as a captivating or standout written cover letter of application live in action. It can actually apply to all fields of learning. The key is willingness to establish meaningful relationships that is worthy of consideration and attention. Like what a former mentor/superior explained to me before why I got offered a position ahead of the others despite being not among the cream of the crop in terms of grade point average: "its not about the grade anymore, its if we want to work with you."

It provides me lots of information, and I know how to get the ecfmg certification.

this is a friendly and very clarifying review that helps me to believe, that easiness is the criteria of the highest level of knowing, like Mr. Ahern shows it in these videos

i enjoyed it it's very informative and clear... It's inspiring and very motivational I liked it he made very thing very clear I recommend this to my friends studying pharmacy

Useful, easy to follow organised concise yet enough. I will subscribed in a while

I chose this rate because it helped me a lot for starting at my medical school. I like the way of explaining typical mistakes that most of people consider right. I'll recommend this video to friends who are going to start the medical school with me and also others who are not, because I think this course is for people who want to start with the correct ideas.

AMAZING THIS CLASS, WOW. LIKE IT VERY MUCH I SEE IN SUBTITLES 10/10

I was really need it thank you so much I will try what you said

Un amigo me recomendo, es una obra increible, grasias por ello

dynamic, knowledgeable, to the point presentation, great light for students to understand the mechanics of acceptance in medical school.

Muy buena explicación, me encantó, por qué lo hizo de manera precisa y eso fue bueno

Dr. Ossareh is great. He discusses what really goes in my mind

It's first time that I am using lecturio and it's cleanly helped me.. As I'm joining my medical school.. This lectures guides me a lot! I'll surely recommend to my medico buddies to rate lecturio.. Thanks for creating a big support for medico's..

Very helpful. I'm taking preresquisite but 've never think about this. Thank you

I like it so much! It's pretty cool, I will recommend my friends.

Good. Realmente inspirador, y dice la verdad, un buen libro de anatomía para irse familiarizando.

This is hands down the best lecture for anyone starting medical school, I am now in my residency and I wish I had known this sooner! It would have made my life so much easier!

Thank you for caring in this way Quickly and understanding points for me

Very nice helping information, I need to know is it possible to do graduation in Anatomy.

Realmente, para mi percepción considero que se basa en muy buenos argumentos; en el aspecto de tener base firme sobre el estudio de la medicina!...no todos los estudiantes de medicina concebimos la responsabilidad que recae sobre nuestras manos! es por ello que el plantearse la pregunta del Quien soy?, conlleva a pensar en si verdaderamente estoy preparado y cuento con las actitudes y aptitudes para estudiar una carrera medica. / Really, for my perception I consider that it is based on very good arguments; in the aspect of having a firm base on the study of medicine! ... not all medical students conceive the responsibility that falls on our hands! that is why asking the question of who I am ?, leads me to think about whether I am truly prepared and have the attitudes and aptitudes to study a medical career. PSD. Considero 4 estrellas debido a la traducción del idioma español... tiene algunos errores de gramatica, y por tanto el mensaje no es muy claro para algunas perosonas. / I consider 4 stars due to the translation of the Spanish language ... it has some grammatical errors, and therefore the message is not very clear for some people.

Excellent advice to ponder on. I found this lecture helpful. Hearing the perspective of a medical professional, provides a clearer picture of what will be expected and how to prepare in advance for medical school. Thank you!

As a first year medical student, this video was really helpful.

Son muy buenos consejos y conforme avanzas en la carrera de medicina te das cuenta de toda la razón que tienes

I feel great about it as Lecturio has a great experience. I am outside medical student and I want to take USMLE

Excelente tips, I found myself already using some of them, but the whole picture of the other tips surely will improve my student life.

excellent, thanks teacher for clarify that, is uncanny and awesome

i like the simplicity and the relevance of this course. its an amazing course

It was pretty directed to the point and has the information that will really be useful to carry out this process.

This video has a good information towards studying Medicine. I like it.

Well explained! Thank you! I was searching for any kind of information and this, was extremely helpfull.

Good support information, a key to learning and social life. Also good advice on what to and not to study as am someone who likes to know as much as possible before starting a course.

Bravo job! Clear, concise, and honest advice. No sugar-coating and powerfully motivating. I will incorporate this advice to build higher discipline.

I would absolutely recommend this lecture to first and second years medical student (not just an MS3 student) and a prospective medical student. I am a prospective medical student applying this cycle and currently shadowing an ED physician. Most of the points that Dr. Ossareh discussed and provided examples for are very necessary as I have seen MS3 students do these things or fail to implement these actions. I must applaud Dr. Ossareh for his ability to clearly and directly addressing tips, errors, and helpful suggestions. The content in this video can be understood by anyone who is interested in successfully practicing medicine and in my opinion that makes him a wonderful educator. Someone who is genuinely passionate about relaying information to others.

Thank you for all these tips! It's so good to find a Doctors compromised with the knowledge, the medicine, and teaching your students. Thank you so much all Lecturio team also.

The lecture is amazing, the context, the information, everything is excellent, Thank you so much.

Me encantaron sus videos, es genial, me gustaría conocerlo. en persona.

It's actually a good option for pre-medical students, even if you don't really know about it, you could "learn how to learn"

Great lecture, bad Spanish autotranslation. I'd recommend it to all my friends currently trying to get to medical school but who speak English.

It's such a great video, basically is what everyone has to ask to itself, just to make sure you are doing whatever you do because you want to, not because you are told to. And shows the importance to be honest with the applications to get into med school.

AL CRECER, LLEGA UN PUNTO EN TU VIDA EN EL QUE SOLO TE PREGUNTAS A DONDE QUIERES LLEGAR O QUE QUIERES SER... PERO MUY POCAS VECES TE DETIENES A PENSAR EN ¿QUIÉN ERES TÚ? Y ESO ES LO QUE REALMENTE TE DEFINE COMO PERSONA... LO QUE REALMENTE TE LLEVARA A TUS METAS.

yes, yes, yes. beri well. yes, yes, yes. beri well

Excellent overview of the importance of premedical prep for med school. Definitely went over some important topics that I didn't assume were as important!

So far, Lecturio has been very helpful in understanding my deficits

Very good explication, i was thinking to study a lot before starting and this help me a lot to now wath to do

It was a unique lecture for me. I learned different information about the medical school interviews. I also get what they test during the interviews. It was interesting. I recommend this lecture to every pre-med student.

nadie me habia dicho eso que veo que es muy importante

I like this video due to the importance of a Medical student to reflect to these type of questions and to know that being a Medical student isn't all about being smart , but rather being more diseplent to work harf .

Five Stars! Clear reasoning and explanations on how to think about your first year of medical school. The lectures emphasize making a realistic and sustainable study schedule, becoming a more efficient student, and how to prevent fatigue considering the daunting amount of work during medical school. Thank you!

Fantástico, realmente te ayuda a tomar en cuenta muchas cosas que ni siquiera habías considerado,muchas gracias.

Extremely helpful is calming your nerves as you prepare for your first year!

All the information that Mo offered was very practical , easy to understand and follow.

I would recommend this video not only to my friends but to anyone who's trying to make their way into med school and that's because it has an amazing way of inspiring students to not only become the best version of themselves but to really focus on what's important, not just the grades but mastering the knowledge and abilities that would get them closer to being the great physicians they dream of being.

You'll get complete guidance from introduction to planning a schedule and preparation. It's very helpful. Worth your time.

Very helpful and definitely easy to add/correct to my study habits

i found it much benefice and thanck you for the efforts that you made in the video

you need to show your unique characters, and behave as an adult. Be able to convince the interviewers that you know what you need and how you can achieve it. finally, you need more than one recommendation and from doctors.

I choose this rated becase he is talking about a important thing before if you are a doctor or a nurse, YOU ARE A HUMAN and you need to know... Who are me?

This was really helpful, I am a pre-medical student from Colombia and this was really clear and easy to understand! Thanks a lot!

i think its amazing !!! somethings are pretty clear now !! hope learn more and more here, thanks to you guys .... : )

The tips were really helpful and I am really taking this lecture seriously becuase Housing, Transportation are essential and also the foundation of comfort and convenience when learning in medical school. Thanks a lot!

Medical School Year 1 is an amazing video due to Dr. Ossareh's concise and energetic way of lecturing. This video has so much great information. I highly recommend it and all of the Prpeparing for med school videos.

This is the first time that I have access to something like this, a world class medical course. I'am a engeneering student in Mexico who has to learn a range of medical concepts, but there are only a couple of physicians in my school, so I always feel a lack of mentors to learn. I think the vast majority of my classmates could benefit with the lectures in here, and everyone will love it, that´s for sure.

I can't believe I have completed 2 years of medical school without anyone explicitly discussing any of this information to my class

I remmended this site. Pay for something that will help you in one way or the other. Spend your money on your future! For me, I like this the lecturio site! Five star+++++

It gives you a lot of advices that really help. Thank you for your inspiration

ITS GREAT HELPFUL FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO NICE , SO KIND OF YOU, GOD BLESS YOU,JAY SHREE RAM

I this course gave me a clear perspective of what the application prosses is going to be like, and the important elements that I will be needing to focus on.

I'm a non-traditional applicant (over 40). What kind of advice would you give me for the interview? I'm coming from a background of health insurance, social work and education.

He is awesome, Today I´m a medical student however this question help me to find out "who am I".

It was good and to the point, not just about what exams are needed but how to go about everything.

You are my Mentor No.1! Because of you, I got to know a lot about USMLE recommended resources on Youtube by Dr. Ossareh, my first subscriber!

It's very simple and helpful for medical students. It's like a mini-orientation. Thumbs up! Cheers!

this was very helpful. good way to know how to start your year.

thanks so much infarct i am in my first year and this will help me so much

Demasiado excelente, buena conferencia me llego, me saco mi otro lado que tenia guardado no solo se trata de enfocar lo academico si no tambien lo personas

this is an essential introduction that shouldn't be skipped for aspiring med students.

Very useful advice and tips on studying effectively. It will surely help me in my study habits.

i like the way of motivate the students and the trick is very good...

I've been watching Docossareh on youtube for aaaaages! He's been helping me a LOT, specially when it comes to which resources I should use and how to study smart! THANK YOU sooo much for everything you've been doing!

This guys gives you good advices for time management to succeed in Medical school

I absolutely love these lectures,they are beneficial and had at first overwhelmed me yet it bolstered my aspirations and expectations of what to be a doctor really takes. I would recommended this to anyone who is interested in the medical field and is struggling to find how to approach it or are struggling with the material!

Excellent lessons, lots of experience totally necessary for the first step on medicine school!

i wish i had watched this video at the beginning of my first year, at the lest, its not too late now. Thank you very much. It would certainly change my life in med school.

Explained the accurate points in an appropriate way. Delivered the message in a easy manner with a clear and proper voice tone. I love it. And it is very useful. I would recommend this to any students who are willing to do medicine. Thank you sir :)

LOVED all the lectures. LOved Lecturio. I praise for it. Just 1 year left for me for the step 1

I actually just finished second year and have been using Lecturio for one year now. I happened to come across these lectures on how best to study for first year and decided to listen to them. I was pleased both to see that my approach to studying was good, and to learn additional tips and suggestions. The lecture about seeking opinions and help from mentors and seniors confirmed my experience - seek out those who offer good advice and don’t get panicked by those who feel the need to scare you. Thanks Lecturio!

Informative, Simple and to the point. Great lecture and very helpful.Thank you.

I am wondering whether you can recommend some resources that will be helpful for IMG. Like some series of textbook.

very good explanation about everything...it is going to help me a lot

its very helpful, all the points are very practical and good for future use.

I chose this rating because its very good and I like evey part of it and definitely recommend this lecture.

He reminded me that medical school doesn't just consist of grades, but also other essential components as a person.

Nice! I wish I had discovered it wile doing Pre-med in Boston it would have helped me A LOT.

Dr. Kevin said the things that, to be honest, everyone repeats back and forth in their videos. But the way they explained them all is what I thing will change everyone's, it at least changed mine, way of approaching the personal essay portion in the college application process. Thank you, Sir!

Thanks a lot. Useful lecture. I believe we have a similar testing procedure here in Bahrain. I am not sure

Thanks for the advice. I am not sure if this is the right place to mention examples of high yield books and reference books. Maybe later in other videos.

Great lectures, very good lecturer, I found these videos really helpful!!!!!!!!

I'm studying medicine in Italy (we don't take the USMLE step 1) so for me that part wasn't very useful (perhaps it'll be so in the future) but the general aspects and especially the previous course about med school year 1 were great, really helpful.

I enjoyed seen this video, because it gives me a few techniques that I can apply when studying med school.

Great advice! Wish I had seen this before starting medical school. I kept thinking I needed less sleep in order to fit everything in. The successful students I know also use the Pomodoro technique for studying. Thank you for all the suggestions and study methods.

Fantastic help! Dr. Ossareh has been a huge assistance in my prep for Step 1!

I am preparing for my third year of undergrad. This video just taught me a lot

That is great important steps for application for med school

Extremely informative. To the point especially the highlight of PTAL. I had no clue that it existed. Also, the timing of application to be completed prior to August. I will be recommending this lecture to my fellow IMGs. Thank you so much.

Very helpful, i wish i had this knowledge when i started medschool. Thank you very much

very informative and intelligent and useful. This Doctor is exceptionally informed.

Amazing, well-researched and informative lecture, thank you, Doc Ossareh!

Very helpful and thorough for the International Medical Graduates, Thank you!

The simplest yet very penetrating thoughts you've just shared with aspiring med students and to the world as a whole. It's so funny that I've encountered the question again, "Who are you?" for decades now, which I've been using way back in college years during my major in Psychology. Every time I want to know someone's name I always asked, who are you, instead of what's your name. I did that intentionally so I can get a direct yet profound answer from that person. I'm just fun of knowing someone through his or her reactions on the first encounter with me. Maybe it's part of my philosophical beings. :)

tips useful for any student..really enjoyed it. Already using them

I've just started my IB programme and this is really helpful for me to set my long-term goals. Wish me luck on my way to becoming a neurosurgeon!

VERY USEFUL GRIPS INTO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. COULD THIS TIPS BE ALSO APPLIED IN THE UK?

This is very helpful. I didn't know where to start to begin my transition until I watched this video. Thank you!

really helpful for me tho am kinda new in USA and am working towards being a doctor

Excellent insight. Recommended for all students considering medical school or those who are already in first year of medical school.

Very clear! Good job! Thank you so much! Best luck to everyone!

everyone needs to know him self and who is he!! it's very important question, and only the answer can help everybody to find his realy destination in life .

it is very helpful to know how manage our life style

I liked DocOssareh's Youtube vids, and this was a good summary to prep for MS1

It is very research-based, clear and seems like it would be very effective and efficient

Very professional speaker which has given me the means and understanding to enter the medical field. Thank you.

Im going to study in Sweden so it is a little bit different here when going to university. Many great tips!!

he creates a learners friendly environment.uses simple English to explain hence easily understood

Definitely eased my fears for when I am starting medical school.

Easy to watch and had been struggling to cover the content, thanks, now with this method I can stay focused

As always Mo did great job. Big fan of your videos and yt channel. Glad you are here to. You inspired me for medical school after my nursing school.

First video was more useful than second. And i agree with other members on site. Lecturio should work more like khan academy.

I learned about lecturio through Dr. Mo and it has been a great year with lecturio! Thank you Dr. Mo! What a pleasure to see you here!

I am a student in New Zealand and I am currently in my last year. I definitely want to study the rest of my career in medical school. This is a great website for people who have a keen interest in going to medical school and it is very helpful too. The only problem that I see in it is the fact that it requires payments. This is mainly because we already have too many payments in university. Maybe it would be much better if the payments are reduced. But anyway it is very helpful and really does make an effect on if we actually have an interest in going to medical school. Thank you for the effort.

A wise man once asked me, "who are you?". After my initial confusion on how to respond to his question, I came to the painful, yet enlightening, realization that I truly had no idea.

I chose the rating of a five star because the videos that Dr. Ahern talked about all had helpful hints in each of them of how to study for the MCAT, what classes to take while in undergrad school to be ready for the MCAT and to get into medical school, how to fill out the applications to get into medical school and what to do and or say during the interview part of the application before getting accepted into medical school. I liked how supporting the videos were and how Dr. Ahern was being honest of what to do to get accepted into medical school. I would recommend these videos to any person who's studying and trying to get into medical school.

Because this is deep question. Not every human can answer.

Amazing by the way can you guys make this website free i mean people are trying to be the next or future health professionals of the world so please open more videos up.

Very thought provoking and inspiring, makes you think differently about the medical school process

I am student of med. uni. and tnx for your site good luck

I love the was this lecture is presented it is very clear and concise.

In less than thirty minutes, Dr. Ahern eloquently and concisely answers the questions about medical school that I have been asking different individuals for years. Never have I found such honest, helpful and informative information regarding the aspects of entering medical school that are often an afterthought (shadowing, references, personal statements, interviewing skills, etc.). Thank you for this lecture.

Amazing lectures. Simply, thank you; it has made me rethink and elaborate.

coz he tells something that i want to know about who i really am

This helps with interview questions which is advice that's quite hard to find. This helps you with some questions you should ask in order to better understand yourself.
