Hey all. I don’t pull all-nighters. I don’t miss the gym for any reason. I don’t skip out on four things no matter what. These four essential things help me maintain my focus and efficiency when studying 70 hours every week in medical school. When I begin my dedicated period to study for the USMLE Step 1 exam I plan to push this number even more to around 80 hours a week.

Who am I:
My name is Zach. I’m a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on YouTube or my website 🌐 ().
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 () linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).
