This is the first video for this channel. I will be updating this weekly as I go through the experiences of medical school. I am doing this to document my progress as well as provide a resource for any one interested in finding out about medical school. If you are pre-med and want advice, if you are a loved one of a pre-med and want advice, if you are just curious, or if you are another student wanting to see what others are up to... this is the place to ask and discuss.

Medical School Update Oct 26th, MCAT advice, Medical school interview advice, funny joke
An update of my medical school experience. I also answer some questions on MCAT advice, as well as medical school interview advice and how classes work. If you watch till the end there is also a funny joke for all of you biology lovers out there.
New Medical School Update november 2nd
Study tips or high school, college and medical school.... also the joke of the week at the end
New, Medical School Update 11-13-09 and answers to study questions
General update on school, study advice in answer to questions, joke of the day and random medical fact of the day.
Ok here is (as promised) a list of the courses I took in college that I would recommend to other people pursuing a medical degree.
First semester:
-BIC classes (not relevant)
-calculus
-Gen Chem I--- important for the MCAT
2nd Semester
-BIC classes (again not relevant)
-Biology I--- important for mcat
-Bio I lab " "
-Forensic survey (for forensic science major, not relevant)
Third semester
-BIC classes still not relevant
-Bio II and lab important for mcat
-anthropology, not really important for anything
fourth semester
-BIC classes
-Gen Chem II important for MCAT
-Genetics and lab... important for MCAT and very useful in medical school
-French I
-firearms evidence for forensic science major
summer after sophomore year
-Physics I and II and labs---- important for mcat, absolutely useless in medical school so far
-EMT-Basic Training--- looks good on resume, gets medical experience, very fun, can get a job
-health and performance x 2
Fifth Semester
-Bic Classes
-Organic Chemistry I-- good for MCAT
-French II
-Osteology (for forensic science classes but very useful in medical school anatomy)
-medical terminology
Sixth semester
-Bic Classes (finally these were over!!!)
-Honors Organic chem II--good for MCAT
-Chemistry Lab (very useful for MCAT and I met my beautiful girlfriend/future wife)
-Biochemistry (very good for medical school, would say it is a must have... entire first semester of med school revolves around this class)
-princeton review mcat
Summer after junior year
-French III and IV
Seventh Semester
-Forensic Entomology (study of insects)
-Forensic Anthropology/physical anthropology---good, helps with anatomy (skeletal) in med school
-Sociology/criminology
-forensic psychology
-Forensic Toxicology---the ugly stepchild of pharmacology so this is very useful for medical school
Eighth semester
-Histology--- very useful for medical school, is part of 1st semester!!!
-Human Physiology (H phys)----very useful for medical school
-Molecular Biotechnology--- very useful for medical school, a course about biomedical research methods... i have seen about 80% of the subject matter in the first 3 months of medical school
-Crime Scene Investigation---fun class but not any use in medical school
-Death Injury and Human remains- forensic science class capstone, not useful but very fun
-forensic chemistry---not useful but very easy
I wish I had taken
Immunology
Cell-Biology/physiology
Pharmacology
Molecular genetics
tempted to say nutrition but it seems easy enough
thats about it
New to this, so lets see what happens
Alright this is the first time I am using this, I figure since I prefer making video blogs that I would just post links to my videos here when I make them and submit quick updates here in between videos.
