"The days are long but the years are short." Love that
I wish young women would look up to educated women such as these more often, rather than celebrities. These are are some my role models for sure!
ProspectiveCorpse I totally agree, I feel like such ambitious women are always overlooked.
popular culture worships money...not achievement...unfortunately...
Amen!
yes like mothers and homemakers instead of miserable subpar doctors
@@Whitelivesmatter148ate get a life love
Wow! She just has her whole life together. What a true role model.
if she can get to the hospital by 5:30 then I can make it to my 10 am class goshdangit
LOL!
+Andrea Tooley if i went to a college which is not an ivy league and got a good mcat score can i apply for the top universities
+Andrea Tooley she is awesome and did a lot of Things. How old is she?!
yes. Undergrad ranking school doesn't have weight for apps. Get a high MCAT 511 i believe or around a 35-36 to be at least competitive and a 3.8+ gpa and tier 1 med school is bound if you have a great interview.
Dr Maya Babu. NAMASTE. after seeing your interview I just want to tell you. woow. I'm 62 years-old at 59 I had a brain aneurysm. doctors like you save my life, I arrived at the hospital by helicopter it was not so good. thanks for choosing your career I know someone's life is always in your hands talent and dedication.
Both beautiful and brilliant. I truly admire these ladies.
Girl power!
and you know that because ??
Milan Sharif why?
Sourabh Sharma Girls are Better students But Surgery is a very erratic job and demand lot of time, energy and experience. Family life suffers especially for women and often they have to compromise with the job to take care of their children
Oh goddddd!!! Harvard!!! This lady is the bomb!!!
My mom works with a surgeon who is a Harvard graduate :)
+sonia malik awesome!!!!!! I'm at IU school of medicine
+sonia malik I wish I could go to Harvard I can't afford it lol
they offer really good financial aid, that can help you pay as much as all of the tuition fees and other expenses.

Never clicked on a video so fast

Milan Sharif study done saying if all women were dr's, less ppl would die:)

Can you do a similar video with a pediatric surgeon and a cardiothoracic surgeon?
I second this request :)
Yess pediatric pls!!
YES!
Yes yes for the subspecialties!
Yessssss exactly what I was thinking !!! Both pretty please!!!
I'm about to be a freshman at UCLA as a premed in a few weeks and I'm so glad I found your channel! You're answering all of my questions that I wasn't able to find from anywhere or anyone else! You're an inspiration!!
I took a study break to watch this video! Very informative and helpful!!
Thank you, Dr. Andrea, for this long-waited interview! I wished she talked more about her experience in college, majoring in neuroscience. I am still in a community college, and my major will be Neuroscience when I transfer to university. I know how long and hard is the process to become a neurosurgeon. I felt that she was emphasizing a lot on being open-minded about what specialty you choose. To be honest, I felt kind of intimidated listenning to her 😱 but I won't let fear stop me. I wished this interview was live! Thank you again for the interview ☺
She’s such a wise person and insightful. Really appreciate her input. I’m not interested in neurosurgery but her approach to looking at residency programs and how to choose one is wonderful. She’s fantastic.
Thank you, Dr. Tooley, for finding a neurosurgeon and posting this fantastic video, and thank you, Dr. Babu, for your time!
Thank you Andrea and Dr. Babu for your words of wisdom and advice!
YES!!! Thank you so much for this video, I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am right now!!!
im so glad you did this video ive been wanting to become a neurosurgeon since I was five ever since I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and I was thankful to have a wonderful neurosurgeon that has helped me realized how much I want to become a neurosurgeon
Please make another video or blog post soon! We know you're super busy, but it's so great every time we get to hear from you :) If you're considering doing a vlog video, please do so! Your posts and videos have served as motivation for me during my first 2 years of undergrad, so I'm missing them so much!
This was awesome, thank you so much for putting this together!
I am truly loving your videos Andrea! You and your guests inspire and motivate me so much. Thank you so much, I know it must be hard to find time for youtube in your busy schedule.
I will be starting dental school in October and while studying for my exams I had to take in order to get in, I tried some of your study methods and they helped me a ton. Greetings from Prague, Czech republic 🙂
Hey Andrea! I just want to thank you so much for all of your videos. I know I want to go into healthcare and you're videos help so much. I really appreciate your videos!😃
Wonderful interview Andrea.That was very natural and you asked important questions. Was very informative.
This was an amazing video - she was incredibly humble and shared lots of very useful and inspirational advice! Really amazing!
You're a really good interviewer. Thanks for this, very helpful!
Really enjoyed this video! Could you do a video interviewing a transplant surgeon and a trauma surgeon? Those are the two fields that I'm currently looking into!
very good points . How residents interact is a huge deal because senior residents mentor the incoming interns and junior residents. That becomes all the more important if you're working long hours, without much sleep, and critical cases to deal with. You tend to rely on your resident team for intellectual and social support. That'll be my number one priority when looking for residencies
Great words! Thankyou Dr Andrea.. Much energy to u and I'm Dr. Anil Babu :)
Very beautiful and smart neurosurgeon!
YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYA!!!! I've been waiting for no for this!!! Love that you had a girl neurosurg with you!!!!
YAY! Thanks so much for this video Andrea!!!! :)
This video was seriously great. She seems like an amazing Doctor.
You make the most informative videos! Thanks for this!
Thank you Andrea!!! I love all of your videos!
Thanks for doing this interview! I've been waiting for this interview for a long time! I'm really interested in neurosurgery so this video was very helpful! :)
I am premed right now but I am really considering neurosurgery and I just LOVE your videos and the helpful information and just seeing all these women in medicine is so inspiring for me!
thank you very much for the great video and interview, Im encouraged, I have always wanted to do neurosurgery. I study Medicine in China, and as from Next academic year, by God's grace, I will be specialising in Neurosurgery. Amen.
Great interview! Well-structured ! Could you please do a similar one for internal medicine with study techniques and work ?
I'm in the exact same position that his lady was once in. I'm only in senior high school but I'm stuck between what career path I would like to follow: Medicine - Neurosurgery or neuropsychiatry / Law. I'm leaning towards Medicine thus far as I want to truly help people and change the world for the better, even if it be only minor. Both ways, there's a long road ahead and this video is extremely inspiring and motivating to work hard no matter you want in life.
Best of luck for anyone pursuing a career in Medicine.
Really informative video! Thank you Andrea :)
I found it quite interesting how I have also been treated for a rare illness for a year, and had the crossroad of neuroscience and law in terms of my interests. I chose to pursue law, but there are days when I wonder what if.
Wow. What an amazing woman. This was so wonderful and informative!
I was about to get a consult from this woman since she seems sincere and trustworthy, looking out for patients. She sadly left the hospital some time in the past 6 months I was going to have surgery at :(
Can you please have an emergency physician on!? I'm so interested in emergency medicine and I would love to hear more about it!!!!!
Awesome video! I would love to see a neonatologist/neonatal nurse interview because I really want to work with babies!! I love your channel!
Please do an ortho surgeon soon! Love your videos theyve helped me so much as someone who doesnt have any physicians in my family!
Was so inspiring! Thankyou Andrea!!
Hi Dr. Tooley! You are such an inspiration :). Thank you for your hardwork in uploading such substantial content on your YT channel while finishing up residency. I have been subscribed for a year and have learned so much from you and your guests in your videos. Whenever you get a chance or if ever you do, could you also interview a psychiatrist?
Thanks for being a motivation to pursue pre-med!:)
Thank you so much! This is so inspirational!
I've waited so long for this!!!
Thanks so much for the informative and inspiring videos! Could you do an Anesthesiologist/Internal Med Doc/ General Surgery interview next?
I love your vídeos , they motivate me to go forward , i am a dentista but my will is to be a maxilofacial surgeon.
Great video, well done! Thanks once again, it was certainly very informative.
oh, and I agree with some previous comments, a cardiothoracic surgeon interview would also be fantastic
Andrea, you are awesome. Thank you for this :)
Hi Andrea, I love your videos!! You have inspired me so much. I was wondering if you do a video of an Ear Nose Throat Physician?? I'm especially interested in ENT but I want to hear it first hand from an expert! Thanks so much!
Hi Andrea! I love what you do. It was inspiring to hear from her. I've loved being subscribed to you these past years, you've helped me a ton with your advice videos. Can you interview a radiologist?
Awesome videos keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you for such an informative and inspiring video! :)
Love this!! Thank you!
AWESOME VIDEO! Can you please do videos for orthopedic surgeons and vascular/cardiothoracic surgeons?
Great video Andrea!
Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful!
Hi Dr. Tooley, thanks for this video! Dr. Babu mentioned how 3rd year rotations are really informative in regards to what a specialty is like and can influence a person's choice of residency. My question is, let's say you absolutely love a rotation in third year you were not expecting, what do you or Dr. Babu suggest for obtaining research experience in that field in a timely manner when residency applications are only a year away? Especially for competitive surgical specialties, if one decides on surgery mid third year, that leaves them with only about a year to obtain research in that area before applying. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you soooooo much!!! This was very helpful.
I would really love to hear from pediatrician/neonatology specialist :) I'd love to go that route after med school so i'm interested if it's mentally hard to see children being sick and interacting with parents etc. i feel like peds is perseived as not very challenging, it's not as hard to get into residency as ophto, neurosurgery etc. and i want to do somenthing challenging but then i just love working with kids so much! Thanks a lot for inspiring us here and on the blog (miss you there lately!)
I can't imagine others perceiving PEDS as a non challenging specialty. You have to diagnose and treat someone who often may not be able to tell you what they are feeling, and that alone is a huge challenge. I shadowed the doctor who was my pediatrician and honestly people who are born to enter that specialty have such a great ability to sense what is going on at a deeper level (with added experience, of course)
So don't let anyone make you feel like it's not a challenge! If it's what you want, go for it and know that your little patients appreciate you :)
Thank You so much for your reply ! :) Last summer I had something like a summer rotation in family medicine and I was doing it with my own family doctor who is also a peds specialist.. I absolutly loved it and she taught me so much ! Kids loved her :)
This is a great reply! Thanks so much for sharing your insight!!
she should interview Nancy Lass or Jen Arnold.
Thank you so much for the video!
Can you please do a similar video with a cardiothoracic surgeon? I would love to get some information about residency and etc. Love your videos and thank you in advance.
Thanks for the posting.
I am 14 years old and I am confident I want to become a medical student. I am interested in becoming a pediatric surgeon, and I think this is a great channel
Great video! You should do an interview with a Pediatric Surgeon! I aspire to become a Pediatric surgeon but I'm not sure if I will be cut out for it? Also on that note is good to become a Pediatric Cardiovascular Sonographer to get experience with kids before pre med and medical school? 🤔 Thank you!😊
Love your vlog. I'm a neurosurgeon, MD PhD, also went to Harvard. My mentor was Dr Roberta Glick also a woman. Her mentor was also a women, Dr. Fran Connelly. Dr. Connelly wrote the famous book, "Walking Out On The Boys."
EVERYONE especially women in medicine should read this book.
It is great to have more women entering the field. However, one must be mindful, we have a legacy to build and must be cognizant of the privilege.
Holy crap she doesn't look worn out compared to all the residents I've seen
Have you seen her eyes? That might be the makeup, but she looks super tired.
Lol she is worn out.
Hi Andrea! Awesome interview as always. Did Dr. Babu mention anything about if her MBA was beneficial for her career and if she would recommend getting one to other medical students?
Yes! This was super informative!! I would love to see Cardio!!
She already has a cardio video from a few months ago.
Can you do a video on research? How to go about choosing a topic? The process of research and publication? Also I love your videos they are so helpful!
Hi can you do a video on tips for non traditional students who are trying to apply to medical school, and how to balance school and kids. I really appreciate your videos, thank you!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO #NEUROSURGERY
Wow! Very accomplished.
Such an inspiration, love from India.
I love her !!! Oh my god she’s a stunner
What is an 'away' in terms of residency? Thanks, great video!
Thank you! So informative! Would absolutely love to see an OB-GYN interview :)
she already has an interview with an OB
+Joseph Saldino oh thanks I'll look!
Can you do a similar video of an anaesthesiologist?
I'd love it too
You can check out Kristina (PrettyShinySparkly) here on UA-cam, she does videos mainly about fashion and beauty but she's also an anesthesiologist! :)
+heavythinker16 thank you sooo much! I'll definitely check it out! 😁
+heavythinker16 yes i subscribed to her too and she is excellent.
+Giulia Arrigo Also check out Student Doctor Thompson, he is really good as well but i really need a video from Andrea since all her videos are in great details
very inspiring
thank you
Andrea
Very interesting, thank you.
Wow that is a crazy residency program!
Awesome video Thank you
What are the alternative routes to becoming a neurosurgeon? Is it matching directly into neurosurgery residency, or is there an alternative route such as through 5 year general surgery then on?
I loved this!
HI Can you please do video on how you got into blogging and where you get your website done. What inspires you in life.
Great video so inspiring

Im 14 and a freshman in high school and was wondering do you have any info on cosmetic dermatology you can give me?
I need help sort of like a career coach I want to become a neurosurgeon but I need some help to knowing what is the best way to become one. There are people that say one thing and another and it has me very confused. Please help!!!
Do you have to go to a certain college to become a neurosurgeon? I know you need a four year college but do you need to go to an ivy league school or highly prestigious school such as UNC?
I'll be graduating at the age of 26, 4 more years of med school. I'll be 30, I do like neurological sciences but looking at my age I don't see going into a field that requires 7 years of residency! Right?
how can do this and I live in Algeria and my parents get in total a 900$ per month
cs I wanted to study neurosurgery in USA buy they say me that's expensive
and surgeon in Algeria who work in hospital get 400$ per month
I didnt choose the salary but that's not legal to study like 13y in university to get salary like this
I would love to see an interview with a urologist!
Mam I am Indian,,mam my children ten months old he had bron jandice and to time blood excenge after his brain CNS injury,,
