YouTube as a Med Student, Tips to Get Into Medical School, and Dealing with Failure with Ahmad Shahin

Today we're joined by Ahmad Shahin, a first-year medical student at the Mayo Clinic with over 30,000 subscribers on YouTube. I've been watching Ahmad's videos for almost a year now and reached out to him on a whim because he's a really inspiring guy and I'm sure anyone familiar with him would say the same. He immediately said he was down and that he actually remembered me from my comments on his videos! We talk for about an hour about what it's like being a med school YouTuber as well as how medical school is going during a pandemic, and Ahmad also shares tips for anyone aspiring to become a doctor. He shares his struggles and failures with full transparency, and I really learned a lot from talking with Ahmad. In the spirit of YouTube, you can also find this conversation with exact timestamps of everything we talked about on my YouTube channel - just look up Arvind Rajan on YouTube and you should see it!
