Here at medschool 2.0 we always try to bring fresh topics related to the world of med school. The stories of peoples lives, because before a med student we are a human being and we have our own struggles and victories and they have a story of their own.

It's a daunting kind of feeling going into medical school for the first time. Most of us have certain mind set and ways to do things and have some kind of pre conceived notion that we would do this and wont do that. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if someone who recently experienced that would shed some lights on what to expect from med school while not forgetting the fights we won during pre med days.

In this episode that's exactly what we have tried to achieve. We are not sure we are in the position to "advice" the new incoming class but what we surely can do is share our stories and maybe some mistakes along the way we made that we don't want the new class to repeat and help them have a smooth sailing in adjusting to the new place. Michael Gao OMS II and Vincy Mathew OMS II have exactly done the same. They spoke the truth and tried to help the incoming class by sharing their stories. After all we are in  the field of helping mankind.

Mr. David Oroza is assistant director of Admissions at NYITCOM. We had the opportunity we couldn't miss to talk to him. We tried to learn from  his illustrious career if there are certain things that really matters while applying to a med school specifically at NYITCOM, does MCAT (number of attempts affect or not) and many more. We had to focus on NYTICOM more and not med school all over the country because that would be very unfair to him and to us here at medschool2.0 but we are sure that there are plenty of things that Mr. Oroza talked that can be helpful for the future applicants. 

We tried to shift our gear towards administrative personnel as well instead of just being focused towards students. However, this podcast will be always talking about students  in some shape or form to help the students and give an insight to lives of  med students and how to help one. See you in two weeks in another episode.

In the school, I am also involved in Student Ambassador Program as one of the few extra curricular activities. In that process one is sure to meet different people and in no time make acquaintances and that flourishes into a friendship . In the same process I met Baira, a second year student who is a very head strong  girl and has a  great personality. No hesitation in what she wants in life and what she wants to achieve in future. You would surely be inspired by her.
  
 Baira, courageously  and with without any hesitation was gracious enough to accept the invitation to be in the show. Being a second year med student, currently on a summer break with research projects, studying and vacation planning she took her valuable time out to be with us and shared her story how and why she chose to be a med student. What really inspired her to be in medical field is a story in its own but her real inspiration behind choosing Psychiatry as a residency right from the beginning post graduation is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever heard, the kind you hear or read in the story books. She was real and brutally honest in sharing the story that shaped her early beginning in her med school and fixing her focus and energy in Psychiatry. We also talked about her being from Sri Lanka and what and how she wants to help grow south asian community in her own little ways. 

We wish nothing but the best for her future endeavors and we do not have a single doubt that she not only will be a very successful  physician but also a beautiful human being. We wish and really want to talk to you again; real soon.

I walked into a memory lane with this episode. This is my humble attempt at disclosing and sharing things from my first med school and how things worked back then. I am sure things have changed by now and in no way I am trying to undermine the education system or education I received from either school. Its just my personal walk in the memory lane and what a beautiful ride that was. I have a huge amount of gratitude towards my first med school because of its installation of faith and believe and love for medicine I am going through the med school process again. I just want to say thank you and the passion is still on and in-fact its burning.
 
 In this episode we have tried to touch mental health issue as well. It was a social taboo when I was growing up and I have witnessed first hand experience of the side effect of it being a topic of taboo. In no way it shouldn't be spoken about. It should not only be spoken about but also be shared about.  Me being a potter-head I have to share the quote “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” — Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. If you know anyone having any kind of mental health issue please help them, guide them, be with them. Let's take mental health as serious as physical health.

This is Jyoti Bhattarai, who was a working physician few years back but now is a medical student starting from scratch. In this episode we have tried to start the story from the beginning going back in time, going back in memory lane; how medical school happened in the first place and how it happened the second time. We also tried to explain why go through this path again, but that is a very difficult thing to be told in one episode. I was about to go into Law as well and what stopped me from that pursuit; I have tried to share that part of the story as well. There are many inspirations and amalgamation of situations that made me choose med school again; we have tried to bring that into light. This episode will be about second chances and never giving up attitude and, in this episode, as well I have tried to spark that fuel of never giving up attitude and how second chances work.

This is Jyoti Bhattarai, who was a working physician few years back but now is a medical student starting from scratch. This is just a trailer of what can be expected in the following episodes. 

We have tried to start the story from the beginning going back in time, going back in memory lane; how medical school happened in the first place and how it happened the second time. We also tried to explain why go through this path again, but that is a very difficult thing to be told in one episode. There are many inspirations and amalgamation of situations that made me choose med school again; we have tried to bring that into light. This episode and all the future episodes will be about second chances and never giving up attitude.
