o    How to detect a malignant medical school BEFORE you get accepted.
o    The truth about work-life balance in medicine.
o    7 hard-core lessons you need to know to gauge you application’s strength.

Episode 15: PreMed Video Blog - watch in “Video Podcasts” on your iPod.

Hi!

I hope you enjoy the fact that I’m switching to video. You can still just listen on your iPod if you prefer, but I’ll be showing you tons of on-screen tutorials. You can see the video version by looking in the Video Podcasts section of your iPod directory (scroll through the videos…).

The MCAT questions, DVD course and FREE E-book are no longer available. I’m getting ready to launch a community website for all the fans that have built up around this movement in the last year and a half.

If you want Early Notification to get exclusive access to the upcoming subsciptrion-based site, enter you name and email on medicalmastery.com.

NOTE: This is an entirely different list - you’ll need to sign up again if you already have. All other lists are being migrated to this one, as this is my only ongoing PreMed and Medical student (JOINT now!!) project I have time for…

Cheers,

Dr Dan

Episode 14: Life after the medical school application? How to preempt the unexpected with a surprising amount of foresight!

====================================================

The medical school application is only one phase of your life. In this podcast and blog, I put this event in to the context of the entire medical school application process, give you some things to look forward to and prepare for, as well as direct you to where you can find an entire archive of tips like these all in one place.

By the time you submit your medical school application, you deserve a pat on the back. After all, you’ve completed the MCAT (in most cases), most of the medical school prerequisites and college, and overcome a large part of the mind game - talking yourself out of it. Many people change their mind and a growing trend is for ill informed pre-health advisers, with no qualification to speak on the subject, to discourage attending medical school.

From the time you submit your medical school application to the time you start your first day of medical school, there are a lot of activities that take place.

Podcast topic

“If you had it to do all over again, what would you do different?”

This is a question I get a lot, in different forms. In fact my new big project I’m coming out with in the next few months is exactly geared toward answering this question - in all it’s detail.

See, feedback from my podcasting has made me realize that my experience with the premed obstacles you face is fodder for you cannon! I get just as excited with you as I coach students and reawaken their dreams of becoming a physician.

The biggest tips I can think of to answer this question with brevity are the following:

1. As an undergrad, write out what my life’s priorities are. Establish from the beginning and keep the document handy for editing as time passes.
