"Fireside chat"

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Thanks again NickNaylor, mmmcdowe, and your friends who did this. It was very helpful and gave me a realistic, down-to-earth look at what some aspects of medical school might be like. Look forward to you guys collaborating again.

If I was to ask a question for next time, it would be one of those "what would you have wanted to know as an entering MS1/applicant/undergrad?" type questions.
 
Thanks so much guys! That was really interesting, and it was great hearing all of your different perspectives. I would especially love to have future editions with you guys as you continue through med school (and for Mike as he starts residency) so we can hear more about the process as it unfolds. 🙂
 
I made a YouTube account to like it. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to put this together.

Finished listening and really enjoyed this. Definitely a good idea overall and super informative. If you decide to do another another one of these you should get that guy from the Pritzker podcast, I'm definitely interested in his experiences as an MD/PhD student.
 
Just want to say thanks for taking the time to make this video. Its nice to have someone demystify medical school in such a personal way. You usually can't get this kind of disclosure except on interview days.
 
I was trying to watch on my iPhone, but there was no sound!

Guess I will wait until I get home in a couple of days.

And I, too, am disappointed that Nick is not black. I was expecting to see some smooth, jazz enthusiast looking intellectual.

And all I got was....that. Lol, jk.

Alex has some major swag though. I was thinking the smooth jazz could have helped the quality of the video. Dr. Freedman uses it in her presentation. :laugh:

On a serious note, you guys did an excellent job addressing a lot of the questions that I have had. For others, you simply confirmed it with your own personal experiences. I wish you guys the best.

Great video, thanks for doing it.
 
Very informational; definitely answered a lot of questions and dusted away some of the "fog" that med school is hidden behind for us pre-meds. Thanks a lot to all those who made the video.
 
Thank you so much for doing this! I found it really helpful, and am looking forward to any future videos. NickNaylor, you mentioned finances were important in your decision to attend medical school, and I was hoping that you all might address how to manage finances/scholarships etc. in any future videos. Again, great job, and thank you all for taking the time out of busy schedules to help shed some light on the whole process.
 
I'm pre-dental and I'm not going to lie...I started watching mainly to see what Nick Naylor was going to look like. I was expecting a Drake look-alike. :laugh: Then I realized that it was pretty interesting/entertaining, and decided to forgo the movie I was planning to watch and watch the whole fireside chat instead. I have to say it was very interesting.

The man was getting marriage proposals on the YouTube chat. :laugh:
 
Very informative and entertaining chat, thank you. I appreciated the constant reminders that the very fact that we are on SDN and watching that G+hangout means we are definitively type A personalities.

No way! :laugh:

Isn't Nick Naylor one of the three that has a girlfriend along with one of his UChicago buddies and mmmcdowe (the guy who goes to Columbia)?

Lol, we all have our type A sides. Some more than others, but you have to be some sort of type A to make it through the hoops to get there.

Why is there no view count on the youtube video?

Not sure why... I noticed that too. I can see the views when I look at the admin panel but I'm not sure why it's not displaying on the video page. I guess only I get to know. 😉

You're not the only one who gets to know, Nick. :meanie:

I don't know why it's not showing up on the video itself, but if you click on the account (NickNaylor) it shows the number of subscribers and video views. I am assuming the video views on the account page is the total # of views of all uploaded videos, and since NickNaylor has only uploaded one video, it should match the # of views for the SDN Fireside Chat video. 😛
 
The interactive transcript feature is so cool!
