When my quals started, I was really pressured and stressed to get a video out as soon as possible, but somehow I pulled it off! Hope you learn something in this video :)

I know everyone’s path is different but I kinda rely on your videos to give me a heads up. There’s very few MD/PhD content creators🖤

[@RoyceDong]

Royce, I just want to thank you for putting out these videos. This is so helpful for those of us trying to decide on the MD or MD PhD route. I wish you the best on passing your quals with flying colors!
