What ever happened to Sean Amos?

Some of you might be familiar with Sean Amos, MD. He had a Youtube channel with the username TopPreMed. He went to Cal-Berkeley for undergrad and Harvard for med school. He would post advice to people on Youtube in a similar format to the Hodgetwins, in which users would send him a question and he would answer in video form. His channel was deleted and his Facebook was deactivated.

Does anyone know why he stopped? I enjoyed his videos.

I was wondering the same thing, I really liked his videos 🙁

Maybe he deactivated his accounts prior to interviewing/matching? A lot of people deactivate social media accounts prior to applying to... well, basically anything. Maybe he had a few too many kegstand photos on Facebook and didn't want to deal with selectively deleting them.

No, he was an attending in IM while making the videos. I was friends with him on Facebook, and it was very professional from what I could tell. I'm thinking he got tired of it. Anytime I viewed his profile it was spammed with pre-med students asking dozens of questions or requesting videos.

Oh interesting. Never heard of him, but now I'm curious as to why he's gone MIA. The getting sick of pre-med thing is a pretty plausible explanation.

I found that as well, but he removed his Facebook and YouTube channel long before he was appointed to that position. They aren't even close to the same time frame unless he'd been in the running for that position for nearly a year.

Ah. I see what you are getting at now. I thought you were replying to me when I was talking about why he closed his Facebook and YouTube accounts. I thought you were indicating that he closed them due to the new position. My bad.

Imagine a thousand people asking you about grades, GPA, schedules, shadowing, LOA, majors, community college, etc. I can't blame him, I just would've liked him to keep his channel up.
