"culture affects outcomes"...I LOVED this little tiny part of his interview. I am a prospective PA student that hopes to make a positive impact in the kind of medicine that is provided to traditional Native American communities. My focus will be bridging gaps between traditional and Western medicine. From personal experience, we need both. This really hits home for me.
Trust me that is beyond rehearsed. You can see at 3:20 when he was done telling the story he forgot some of the points he missed so he backtracked. He is using the same techniques that are in the dating book The Game by Neil Strauss.
Stamps600 Wasn't rehearsed at all as I was just asked to show up and be interviewed by undergraduates interested in going into medicine. But thanks for the interesting feedback.
I found this video very interesting. I am a firm believer in the fact that medical schools understand that they want to produce successful doctors, not just people who are good at getting good grades. There is much more to being a successful Doctor that getting good grades.
I am 17, I have a 28 on my ACT and a 4.3 GPA going to UF for nursing. I am assured I can succeed in undergrad but I am extremely terrified to go into medical school and I may just get a doctorate in nursing. Any advice?
PGL ForZa If you want to be a physician, get out of the nursing program and get a degree in a hard science. You'll want to do very well on the MCAT and be active in your community with leadership roles and extracurricular activities. Medical school is not for the faint of heart, and to succeed, you need to put every bit of your passion and energy into it. If you want to play it safe, be a nurse.
PGL ForZa It really depends on you impetus. What do you want to do with your life and why? That question must be answered first and foremost before you make a mistake that you could regret for the rest of your life.
I definitely agree with Andrew that you need a lot of passion and energy if you want to pursue the med school track, but you definitely do not need to major in a hard science degree. As long as you do the premed course work, major in something you actually find interesting. i majored in public health and i definitely enjoyed my time as an undergrad even more
Samuel Kebede I agree. However, I never actually said that a hard science major was a "need" for medical school. I do think that having completed a more rigorous undergraduate major made me better equipped to handle the amount of work that medical school is. My statement about the hard sciences is just a strong suggestion, but certainly not a hard and fast rule. Thanks for pointing that out.
Too many humble brags which is off putting. 3:20 he backhanded insults everyone with that story without people noticing. He was great at story telling, but when he went off the cuff he lacked substance. Really really good job, but this is what people who are bad at interviews should do. Develop stories to take up the time and answer ?s.
aaron paille Of course, it doesn't mean one is unintelligent. But it does mean that he is careless in the use of the language and unconcerned with diction. One then wonders whether such carelessness extends or will extend to other areas where precision are demanded. At least that was my opinion when I interviewed applicants. If an applicant wanted to impress me, he sat up, made eye contact, expressed well-organized thoughts in grammatically correct English and knew why he was applying to our school in particular. In return, I honored him by not asking stupid questions like, "Why do you want to become a physician?"
1) If your too young then you clearly wouldn't be going into medicine right now and 2) If you're too young to the point where you shouldn't be on youtube I don't think you should even go into medicine cause I sure wouldn't trust someone who can't follow the basics.
iBarkBite LOL hating much? if the PERSON is too young but is watching this...i'd trust them...to find a path that will lead them to medicine....quit crushing dreams...
TheColombianFlower I don't encourage people who break guidelines. Oh well.. Secondly, I never said he or she couldn't go into medicine I said it would make no sense for someone who is "too young" to even be operating or seeing people so it's not a sad thing.
iBarkBite What a really strange response. If they are too young, well they'll get older and then apply. They are allowed to lament that they cant start now though.
J White If they are aware that they can't apply now then it's not even possible for them to start now. So their entire comment was "strange" to begin with. If it's not able to be done because of actual laws and information/knowledge then it goes without saying that you aren't able to start. No one was going, "Well why don't you just go and slice and dice someone now?!"
my advice do not believe fully in the research and must learn to have your independent thinking and take every thing with grain of salt....guess what...I am retired chemist, nutritionist, drug designer, toxicologist,...etc I have found solution to cancers but refuse to patent or publish it.... afraid people abuse it...

By far the best interview I have seen. He seems genuine unlike most applicants who have rehearsed answers.

Carl Streed, Jr Do you also have a bridge to sell me?
Sounds pretty rehearsed to me.
Maybe he has rehearsed this stuff so many times. That's why it sounds completely genuine
I can see the sincerity in his answers. This is an admirable applicant.
He’s so well spoken

What a nice, sincere guy - I hope my kids turn out like this
Honestly the most surprising aspect of this was when he said he was a bouncer. Doesn't strike me as the type.
Thank you so much! This really helped me a lot!
wow this was actually really helpful!
thanks for sharing! wish there were more videos like this!
looks laid-back but not so concise in his answers. Guess this is what made him stand-out and got him in.
+Xinyao Zhang I found his answers concise.
Is this an interview for med. school or? He said that he is a third year medical student I think...
You're all saying he's a nice guy, and I just want him to sit on my face.
Nice. I found this quite helpful. Thanks!

@andrew Curley - Any advice on PA, NP, and Nurse Anrsthetist?

you're an idiot
where's my shovel...? haha
I love this man
inspiring!!
WOW. Thank you
You're an interesting applicant. Hopefully, you have both succeeded and stopped saying "like".
Saying "like" doesn't mean someone is unintelligent. It's in no way a disadvantage or setback so he's fine.

+wholeNwon he sounds human.
Is donepezil the latest med for alzheimers?
It must be nice to have the money to volunteer at a foreign country.
I'll like to go into medicine but i'm too young :(
