The Unwritten Rules of Medical School Nobody Talks About

This video is for medical students who want the behind-the-scenes playbook that no one hands you on day one. Not study tips, not exam strategies. The real stuff: how medicine actually works as a social and professional environment, what differentiates students who get opportunities from those who do not, and how to build the reputation and relationships that will follow you into residency.

Whether you are just starting out or already in your clinical years, these are the frameworks and mindset shifts that will change how you show up and how much you actually get out of the experience.

About Me
I am a physician (M.D.) practicing a mix of hospitalist medicine, and urgent care. I learned a lot in my journey to becoming a physician and about more than just medicine. Follow along as I reflect and teach what I wish I knew, which for the most part, is the stuff you don’t learn in school.
