      The Pre-Med Journal - TANG YILE

      For me...

      Introduction

      Hello, my name is Yile, and I'm currently a first-year medical student at the University of Malaya. However, not too long ago, I was a pre-medical student like you or any of my predecessors. As I transitioned from being a pre-medical to a full-time medical student, I reflected on my experiences as a pre-med student. It was fun, there was no doubt about that. But it also came with its fair share of troubles. Things that I wished I had done differently and others that I wished I hadn't at all. Which is the exact purpose of why I wrote this book. It is through my hopes and dreams that you will acquire the necessities of all that is to increase your odds of getting into your dream medical school.

      Disclaimer: This book is written based on the author's personal opinion and experiences in the field of medicine. The information contained within is intended to provide readers with insights and guidance on topics related to pre-medical studies, interviews, medicine, and how to study. However, readers should be aware that the author's opinions and views may not reflect the experiences or beliefs of all individuals in the medical field.

      How to use this book?

      You are free to read this book in whatever order you wish. There is no specific sequence to the chapters, merely that they are sorted into categories of chapters I call clumps:

      The first clump, How to not get f*cked before going into medical school, was written to prepare your mental well-being for medical school. Topics such as the mindset you should have to heavier ones such as not receiving any medical school offers. (*Highlight: What if I receive no offer for medicine)

      Learning to Learn: How Medical Students Study is a brief description of how actual medical students study. As getting good grades is the bare necessity of getting into medical school, here are some ways you could help yourselves.

      Medical Interview is perhaps the most crucial proponent in your application to a medical school. For most people, it would be their first interview in a professional setting. But don’t worry; I will cover the essential bits you need to know.

      Words from your seniors is a collection of advice explicitly targeted toward medical students during their lowest points and highest tides. It compiles messages from year 1 to year five medical students.

      Storytime & QnA are my internal rambles during my first year of medical school. The first exam, the first medical interview, etc.

      How to not get f*cked before getting into med school

      #1 We Were All Once Pre-Medical students

      If there is one thing you should remember after reading this book, it is that all of us were once pre-medical students.

      All the specialists, professors, doctors, and medical students were once in the same position as you.

      They took the same test (not literally), studied the same material (again, not literally), and went through the same hurdle as you (this is literally).

      That is why you should not let the fear of medical school scare you from applying or trying your utmost to get into your dream medical school. This concept also applies to other areas of expertise, from learning a skill to embarking on a new career.

      Do not set a limit on your capability so soon. Though we don’t always start at the same level, everyone has to start somewhere in life. So, the sooner you realize that, the sooner you are to close the gap between you and others and take the necessary steps to approach your ultimate goal.

      If they can do it, so can you (seriously)

      #2 Fears of Pursuing Medicine

      Medicine, like many other fields, is full of uncertainty. So, I’m here to justify your fears (if there are any) and hope to make you feel a bit better knowing that someone else feels the same way.

      ›  Not good enough

      A prestigious field such as medicine is bound to attract some of the brightest minds of your generation. Often, you might start to question your own self-worth. What if I’m not good enough? Would
