I had no idea this was a part of our residency. I was in rectal clinic for a month looking at buttholes. Could you imagine that? So I thought I should probably talk about these experiences on social media lmao" 17:39 "A lot of people think you're just competing against everyone in your class. Try and think of them all as teammates. And not everyone's gonna be your teammate, but that doesn't mean you need to be their opponent." 34:50 "Is doing research important for your application? When I was applying for oral surgery, I had 14 or 15 interviews: 8 of them asked me about playing the violin; 2 programs asked me about my research in dental school." 17:39 "Use AI to your advantage; to prepare yourself to study quicker and more effectively, rather than writing everything down." 26:50 "I'm 32 years old and I feel like I have a back of an 85-year-old man right now." 34:50 "Do something you're interested in, because when you can talk about something you're passionate about on the interview, you're gonna crush it." 15:48 "How are you gonna differentiate yourself from the person next to you?
