Med School Survival Ep. 1 — Curriculum Differences No One Talks About
Med School Survival — Episode 1
Today we’re breaking down the curriculum differences that actually matter when choosing a medical school. Not just the typical “1.5 vs 2-year didactic” conversation, but the deeper factors that shape your daily life in med school.
In this episode, I cover:
• How often exams really are
• Mandatory vs optional attendance
• Schools with heavy busywork vs streamlined curriculums
• Professional attire requirements
• Small group learning differences
• Clinical prep and how early patient exposure happens
• Why these differences matter more than the brochure version
This series is for pre-meds, new med students, and anyone who wants the real, unfiltered version of med school, delivered with respect, professionalism, and clarity.
