Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel.
-
This vlog is 'A day in a life of a final
year medical student
-
90 days before the licensing exam!'
-
But before that, this is my last year
of medical school in a nutshell.
-
JAN- Ended my clinical placements with one
of the toughest exam period.
-
FEB-Finally a family trip (more like a
food trip) for the first time in years
-
because of Covid & adjusting schedules
gets harder each year.
-
APR- Worked on a publication as an
elective throughout March & April.
-
MAY- Got to do a clerkship in the U.S.
-
Took me a year to prepare but it
was totally worth it
-
and I got to see my best friend
in 4 years.
-
JUN- Came back to Korea and
already half the year has passed.
-
Reality hits, I have to prepare for
my licensing exam.
-
Also, I am graduating!
Taking grad pictures!!
-
JUL- Lectures start again with
professors reviewing high-yield topics.
-
and of course, monthly grad exams =
cramming again!
-
AUG- OSCE exam dates announced.
-
Scheduling to practice for the
OSCE + CPX exam.
-
Intense practice sesh with the team.
-
SEP- EXAM D-DAY.
-
and then, I went on a reality-escape trip
with a friend, who survived Aug with me.
-
OCT- Cut my hair extra short
(just felt like it lol)
-
and the study cafe days started...
-
Check out how many hours I study in a day
during my dedicated exam period!
-
Finally waking up after the third snooze.
-
trying to get to my yoga mat
-
rolled (fell) down
-
trust me, I am not sleeping.
trying to stretch my neck.
-
my face is so swollen.
-
My pilates class is at 09:10.
-
This video is 2023 Fall- 2 months
before my medical licensing exam.
-
See how I spend my day with exam just
around the corner.
-
Done with the 1 hour class.
-
Push yourself to push the limit.
-
I cut my hair very short recently.
-
The study cafe is right below
the pilates studio
-
so I always head right away to study.
-
I wouldn't have made it out
of the house otherwise.
-
Quick breakfast before studying.
-
and of course, caffeine.
-
I made study groups on the
'yeolpumta' app through my ig.
-
I want to thank everyone who studied with
me during this period.
-
You've been an amazing motivation.
Thank you.
