Hi everyone!
It is Sunday night and I'm right now headed to pre-interview social for another interview
tomorrow.
I have a pretty packed week this week.
I have an interview on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
And then on Thursday and Friday I'm gonna be doing another ambulance ride along from
6AM-6PM.
So it's a pretty busy week and I wanted to bring you guys along and hope you guys enjoy!
So it's Sunday evening.
I just got back from a social for another interview tomorrow.
Just wanted to quickly point out something... so, this wasn't done in medical school but
this pre-interview social is like a pretty new concept for me because they didn't have
anything like that for medical school (interviews) and that's because it's really important to
know who you're gonna be working with in residency.
So that means it's really important that you get to know the residents before you really
choose the program you wanna go to.
So they try to have this very informal, casual thing planned for us so we can get to know
the residents.
So you don't have to dress up.
As you can see I'm wearing just like sweater and jeans.
It's usually held at a bar or sometimes at someone's house.
Today was at someone's house.
It's like super casual, usually there's free food, free drinks.
Everyone is drinking, so it's not like you have to be careful not to drink or whatever.
You can drink soda, you can drink beer, you can drink wine or whatever.
Everyone is usually very friendly.
The residents are there to answer your questions and really just let you know about the program
in a way that's more like informal than you would on interview day.
So that's kinda the purpose of these pre-interview social and I really like them.
I talked about them in my previous video.
They're great for getting the feel of--and just the vibe of the residency and how they
get along with each other.
All those things are very important.
So that's why I really try to make it to all the pre-interview social even though sometimes
they're far, sometimes they're... you know.. not as convenient to get to but it's a valuable
information that you can gather about the residency.
So that is what I'm doing tonight, tomorrow night and Tuesday night.
Like always, I'm just gonna do a little bit of reading and kind of prep a little bit about
the interview tomorrow and then I'll be heading to bed.
Hi everyone it is Thursday afternoon and I actually vlogged Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
also but because I had those interviews on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... they
(the footage) ended up looking sort of the same all three days when I vlogged.
So let me show you guys.
"Good morning everyone it's Monday morning and I'm headed off to my interview in a little
bit.
Hello everyone it is Tuesday morning and I'm off to another interview.
Hi everyone I just got back!
I just got back from my second interview of the week.
Hi everyone!
I'm now headed out to my pre-interview social"
I think it's easier if I show you guys on a piece of paper what my schedule was like.
So I checked in last... probably on Sunday and you guys saw me going to the pre-interview
social and then I had they interview for that social on the following day.
Then I had another social, then another interview, another social and another interview.
And now this is today.
I thought I had a ride along today but I actually don't and I remember that I actually changed
the schedule because I knew I would be really tired after doing 3 back to back interview
so I actually took the day off.
I moved the shift to next week sometime.
So I'm actually really glad that I did that because number 1, I'm really tired but number
2, I actually have to make a video for YouTube and I wanted to go downtown to go shopping
for an unboxing video.
So I'm headed downtown now.
The video is due this weekend so I'm cutting it kind of close but hopefully I'll find some
good stuff.
I also ordered some stuff online so that should be arriving soon and when everything is together
I'm gonna be making the unboxing video.
Alright so I'm gonna finish setting up and start filming the video.
You guys already saw the video cause it would have come out a week before this current video
so I will check in with you guys later.
My powerpoint crashed!
I wasn't doing anything crazy.
I was just trying to insert a symbol.
A simple symbol and it crashed and it took my 40 minutes of work with it!
No backup.
I just all chaos (whimpers.)
I just have to continue cause that's life.
Alright guys so my powerpoint is finally done!
It took a really long time because.
The program crashed a couple times and I didn't save so I have to re-do all my work.
But here it is!
I did my powerpoint presentation of Dangerous EKG Patterns and it's geared mostly towards
EMTs and Paramedics so I have some stuff on STEMI, some patterns, de winters, wellens
syndrome... and then I have these questions that I wrote for people to answer and this
is my presentation!
Super happy to be finally done.
I think I'm gonna start using Google (slides not presentation) program from now on because...
so that it doesn't crash and delete all my data with it.
If you guys see my couch back there.
I'm actually hosting some of my friends who are interviewing in New York just for them
to stay as they're interviewing.
So that is my couch in bed form.
It actually comes in pretty handy actually.
Alright so I'm gonna close the vlog here.
Thank you guys for watching.
It's been a busy week.
Hope you guys had a great week and I will see you guys in the next video!
BYE :)
