This video is brought to you by HelloFresh!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to my channel.
If you're tuning in for the first time.
My name is Jamie and I'm a 4th year medical student.
Today I'm gonna be talking to guys about some of the apps that I use for school.
Nothing fancy, just the apps that I love and use everyday.
So we'll start with my favorite calendar app, which is the Google Calendar here.
My favorite part about the Google Calendar app is the monthly view that you can see here.
You can clearly read what's written under everyday which is pretty rare for calendar
apps.
And to compare this to the stock calendar app.
You can see the monthly view but you can't see what's written underneath each day so
I love that in the Google Calendar app you can see what's going on on each day... you
have a birds eye view of your schedule for the next six weeks.
So the next app I'm gonna talk about is a note-taking app.
It's called Notability and I have talked about this app in a what's in my iPad video.
I don't use the notability app on the phone to take any notes because it's too small but
I do have it on my iPhone so that I can refer back to any notes that I have taken during
third and forth year.
So for example, if you go to my notability tab, you can see all the rotations that I've
had before.
I can go to my Emergency Medicine tab and you can see a lot of the articles that I have
saved during that rotation as well as some of the lectures.
So if I need to look anything up, it's a really great way to refer back to all my notes and
it's nice to have it on my phone.
The next app I'm going to talk about is the notes app that comes with the iPhone.
One of the nice features about the notes app is that it syncs via iCloud so if you have
an iPad, or a Macbook or an iMac, you can have all your documents synced on all your
devices.
One of the cool features of the notes app is that you can actually scan documents using
your camera.
Other features of the app include making a check list like this so that you can make
a to-do list.
You can also make a table and many more.
If you're looking to simply make a list or a to-do list, the app that I like the most
is the reminders app and I like that it's simple and syncs with all your devices like
the notes app so I'm constantly making lists for my groceries.
If I'm going somewhere, I make a list for things that I need to pack and I'm always
working on a reminders list for the things that I need to do.
The next set of apps that I'm gonna talk about are the apps that I use in the hospital.
I use Epocrates for looking up medications.
You can look up drugs, interactions and all these other information.
The next app is called UpToDate which is universally used by pretty much all the doctors that I
know.
It's where you can look up all the treatment protocols and information about any kind of
disease.
Next app is called MDCalc, which is basically a calculator for all the formulas and calculations
that you need to do in the hospital.
So for example, you can calculate your anion gap by including all the sodium, chloride,
bicarb and albumin numbers.
You can also calculate your ASCVD risk, which basically tells you your ten year risk of
heart disease or stroke based on these risk factors.
Next is an app called UBC Radiology which has a lot of quizzes on radiology related
topics like anatomy and ultrasound so you can brush up on your radiology.
Next is a weather app and the one that I've been using is called Carrot and I love how
snarky and sarcastic it is and it brings a smile to my face.
Carrot App: "Your sun is a yellow dwarf.
How pathetic" I like that it shows you the weather in hour by hour basis and it also
has a nice interface that syncs with your Apple Watch as well.
The next app that I'm going to talk about is Spotify and I get a lot of questions about
the study music that I listen to.
I usually don't listen to a lot of music when I'm studying but when I do here are some of
my go to playlist.
So I go to browse down here, then I scroll down to focus and some of my favorites are
"Deep Focus" and "Mellow Beats"
So those are all the apps that I use for school.
Anyway, it's actually really nice out today it's like 70 degrees and it's February so
I'm gonna head out, enjoy some time outside, run some errands and I'll bring you guys along
with me.
Guys look!
It's warmer here in NY today than it is in LA!
It's 59 degrees in LA and 75 in NY and 22 in Korea.
Crazy!
It's like a summer day here in NY.
I'm going to bank to run some errands.
Check out my cool cat sunglasses that I got from the cool cat event that I went to last
week.
Just back from outside.
It's so nice and warm and sunny.
It's like a nice preview of summer and I'm super excited.
I wanted to show you guys a couple things.
I have a new resolution.
It's not really New Years resolution because it's like a very recent resolution.
Basically I wanted to start reading more books.
I went to Strand with my boyfriend the other day and we said that we would pick one fiction
book and one non-fiction book and that we would read it and then we'd trade.
We got a total of 4 books.
I got Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato.
I picked this book because I read another book by Tim O'Brien in high school called
"The Things They Carried" and it was one of my favorite books so I wanted to read another
one of his so this is fiction.
And this non-fiction book is called Bellevue and it's basically stories about the Bellevue
hospital and I think this book will be really interesting.
For my boyfriend's book I only have his fiction but he picked this book called Six Four.
Basically a Japanese crime novel.
He picked this because he's never read anything written by an Asian author.
From the synopsis on the back it sounds really interesting.
So I can't wait to read this one once he's done with it.
I've already read almost half of this book so I'm making really good progress in the
last two days and I love that I'm spending more time reading and less time watching TV
or on the computer, so I'm really enjoying this new hobby.
So I can't wait to read all four books that we picked out and pick out even more books
after this.
Decided to bring my workout outside and run a few miles.
This will actually be my first outdoor run since the race in December.
So let's take a look.
So we're going to start from here run north of reservoir, go down, crossover at 72nd and
then come back up.
That should be about 4 miles or so.
Just finished!
It was actually 3.5 miles.
Average pace was 10:19.
Have to start somewhere I guess.
Alright so I just got back from my run and I showered at the gym and now I'm going to
make dinner and today's dinner is brought to you by HelloFresh.
Thank you HelloFresh for sponsoring this video.
So if you guys don't know HelloFresh.
HelloFresh is a meal kit delivery service and it's really cool because it comes in this
recyclable insulated packaging here like this.
And having HelloFresh delivered to your door is really convenient because it means that
you don't have to go out to dinner, you don't have to order take-out, you don't have to
get all the ingredients from the grocery store.
It's just delivered right to you at your doorstep so it makes making dinner super easy.
And it comes with this recipe cards which I love because I'm a visual person and I feel
like having these pictures on how to make everything makes it so much easier if you're
new to cooking or if you don't know how to make something.
I feel like this makes it super convenient.
So today I'm gonna be making this creamy dill chicken and all their recipes are designed
to take about 30 minutes so you don't have to spend a ton of time in kitchen and you
can get dinner ready really fast.
So HelloFresh has a wide variety of chef created recipes and they change every week so you'll
be eating something different every week and really honestly these are things that I would
be making on my own but with a interesting twist so it makes it a little bit more interesting.
So for example, this chicken has chicken and potatoes but it has this really cool dill
sauce that I've never made before so that makes it a little more interesting than what
I'd normally make.
So this is the final product.
I love how professional it looks with all the garnishing and that was super easy to
make also.
