Do Premed Postbac Programs REALLY Prepare You for Medical School?

In this video I share my opinion about whether or not premedical postbaccalaureate programs are actually good preparation for medical school. Topics covered included academic performance and intensity, navigating the social dynamics of medical school, the lack of research experience, and how not having an MCAT score could impact getting into residency. Plus, I reveal whether or not I am passing quizzes/exams thus far!

Thank you, Raven. I appreciate your channel so much so far, as it crucially helps! Would it be okay to get involved as a research assistant in psych before applying to a post-bac?

Glad my channel has been helpful! I think that is fine if that is something you are passionate about. I would also advise volunteering in a clinical setting when it becomes possible because clinical experience is one of the things postbacs and medical schools look for.
