Andres: Excellent kick starter

“Excellent tips, I found myself already using some of them, but the whole picture of the other tips surely will improve my student life.”

Shivangi: Complete guidance!

“You’ll get complete guidance from introduction to planning a schedule and preparation. It’s very helpful. Worth your time.”

Mohamed: Motivating

“Bravo job! Clear, concise, and honest advice. No sugar-coating and powerfully motivating. I will incorporate this advice to build higher discipline.”

Ruth: Very informative

“I would absolutely recommend this lecture to first and second year medical students (not just an MS3 student) and prospective medical students. I am a prospective medical student applying this cycle and currently shadowing an ED physician. Most of the points that Dr. Ossareh discussed and provided examples for are very necessary as I have seen MS3 students do these things or fail to implement these actions. I must applaud Dr. Ossareh for his ability to clearly and directly address tips, errors, and helpful suggestions. The content in this video can be understood by anyone who is interested in successfully practicing medicine and in my opinion that makes him a wonderful educator. Someone who is genuinely passionate about relaying information to others.”

Elzard: A great series for those looking for advice on Year 1 of Medical School

“Five Stars! Clear reasoning and explanations on how to think about your first year of medical school. The lectures emphasize making a realistic and sustainable study schedule, becoming a more efficient student, and how to prevent fatigue, considering the daunting amount of work during medical school. Thank you!”

Alejandra: I find this video inspiring and very accurate as to the way it gives students a close approach to what really matters.

“I would recommend this video not only to my friends but to anyone who’s trying to make their way into med school and that’s because it has an amazing way of inspiring students to not only become the best version of themselves but to really focus on what’s important, not just the grades but mastering the knowledge and abilities that would get them closer to being the great physicians they dream of being.”
