MY FAVOURITE MEDICAL YOUTUBE CHANNELS

 

YouTube is priceless. There is a plethora of online resources on there that have been of valuable use to me as a medical student. I’ve found YouTube videos useful not just when I need clarification on difficult topics, but also when I need some motivation to work hard.

As an audiovisual learner, I am able to comprehend concepts better and within a shorter period of time when I listen to an explanation. I spend most of my phone hours on YouTube these days. So I decided to share which medical-themed channels are my all time favourites.

Here is a list of YouTubers that vlog about their life as medical students/doctors. Some of them also give study tips and advice on how to survive medical school. You could even find different study-with-me sessions that will help encourage you to be productive.

Ali Abdaal: a UK-based medical doctor passionate about productivity.
Strive to Fit: a resident that shares videos about her life as a doctor.
