How a Medical Student Scored 260 on Step 1 Apr 01, 2019

Show notes

The USMLE Step 1 is unlike any other. Just when you overcame the MCAT, medical school brings a higher mountain to climb.

Step 1 is one of the most challenging exams you'll take in your medical training and, like the MCAT, is a critical component of your residency application.

Great, more stress...

There are MANY strategies and study resources to help people pass and reach their target score but the whole process can be so overwhelming and daunting and soon it becomes "impossible" to succeed at.

Well, Ryan conquered Step 1 and scored above a 260. Ryan is a graduating medical student who walks us through exactly how he pulled this off.

What was his study schedule?
Which resources did he use?
When did he start studying for Step 1?

All of thus and MUCH MORE! If Step 1 is in your near or distant future, this is a must listen.

From Nursing School to Medical School with Joe Moss Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

Joe Moss is a second year medical student who is well on his way to becoming a doctor, but he didn't always know he would end up here.

He started college without a clear path and didn't know which direction to go. Joe eventually tapped into medicine by first going to nursing school.

Years later, he changed his mind.

Why did he give up a GUARANTEED paying position for an unpredictable one?
How did he improve his GPA despite working a full-time job?
Does his older age bother him?

That and so much more on today's episode.

From High School Teacher to Gastroenterologist with Dr. Ron Ortizo Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

Dr. Ron Ortizo is a gastroenterology fellow who originally didn't plan on becoming a doctor. In fact, he wanted to be a high school science teacher!

Education fueled his passion and his career path seemed pretty clear.

And medicine wasn't a part of it.

But then things changed and he started to consider the idea of becoming a doctor.

How did he change his path from becoming a high school teacher to a doctor?

How did he feel being a few years "behind" his medical school classmates?

We also dive deep into his biggest struggle: residency. The day-to-day grind that pushes you in ways you can't imagine…

Third Time's a Charm with Medical Student Reuben Horace Jr. Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

Reuben is months into his first year of medical school and loving it!

You can hear the passion in his voice and the excitement of knowing that he is that much closer to the long white coat.

But how far can passion really take you when your test scores are below average?

Reuben took the MCAT 3 times and after each attempt, he got that much closer.

He didn't get into medical school on his first attempt.

Despite others questioning his success, he stayed the course . . .

Non-traditional applicant? Who cares.

Your dream doesn't have an expiration date.

For all those imperfect applicants, this is for you.

MINISODE: Most Memorable Case with Dr. Michael Simoni Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

Dr. Michael Simoni is chief Ob/Gyn resident and he walks us through a case that he'll never forget.

We spend so many years training to become a doctor. We delve into lectures, standardized patients, call, and are involved in many patient cases, but the reality is, we'll never be prepared for everything.

What do you do when a case is going as planned and then, *suddenly* everything goes down hill.

And you have to act fast.

This is a must listen.

What motivates him?
