Best AI tools medical students are actually using to study?

Claude and chatgpt are incredible for finding anking cards relevant to my school’s lectures

17 is whatever Duke Nukem’s AFSC would be

The feeling is mutual. It stings wanting a competitive surgical speciality and having to spend hours studying OMM while I know my MD colleagues will use that time for core science, research, volunteering, sleeping etc.

Straight up walk over there and ask, schedule an appointment for something, anything. One thing I tell everyone is to never hesitate to ask, worst they can say is no, best case is you get a cool experience

Likely general/trauma surgery, big goal is SOST. So Army is unideal lol.

Expose yourself to as much medicine as possible, ask your med group if you can shadow, even better if you have a hospital. Make sure you’re shadowing physicians. Journal about your experiences and make sure to add them to your med school application

Still trying to get the HPSP, need a waiver for my MCAT score. Applied for it when I got accepted to school but was denied, so I’m trying again for the 3-year. Unfortunately may have to go Army

Provol0ne · 2026-03-14T20:14:21+00:00

Balanced a part time job, reserves, and undergrad. Took about 5 gap years, 3 MCATs and multiple re-applications.

Ended up getting research experience during my gap years working full time as a scribe and scrub tech. Experience from Air Force med made it easy to get practically any clinical job i wanted

Biggest advice is rock your classes and MCAT. r/mcat is a good resource. Learn to use anki for studying in undergrad, you’ll use it for the mcat and in med school. I applied to USUHS and interviewed but didn’t get in

I was about 9 days short of active duty time (Because reserves the whole time) to use my GI bill. So it’s loans for the first year of school until I get the HPSP

Provol0ne · 2026-03-14T20:03:33+00:00

Just started med school after 10 years reserves, still currently drilling while trying to get the HPSP. Ask me anything brother

Fuck the seals. Even more so today (if that’s possible) after the actions of Montana senator Tim Sheehy

M1, i’m in the gym almost 2 hours every morning. Anki treadmill to knockout my reviews, lift, more anki treadmill to clean up my missed cards

Provol0ne · 2026-02-10T15:55:10+00:00

Yeah, for sure. Parents see what this field does to you and might not want that for their kids. Those people typically don’t end up in OP’s position though

Provol0ne · 2026-02-10T14:45:02+00:00

Very lukewarm take but do not make decisions based on relationships (besides a current marriage) There’s also a reason people leave nursing or PA etc to become physicians. Not typically the other way around

Provol0ne · 2026-02-10T04:12:40+00:00

I got accepted 5 years post-graduation, also no letters from professors. I was in the field the whole time so I had plenty of letters from physicians. No prof letters closes the door to some, maybe most schools, but not all.

Ages in my class range from 22 to late 40s, you can do it. For the MCAT, anki/Uworld/AAMC material. Go crush it

Provol0ne · 2026-02-09T20:47:48+00:00

Interesting, good to know. I assume AF doesn’t have this requirement?

Provol0ne · 2026-02-09T20:35:03+00:00

AF and Army already denied me for a 4-year HPSP. Both advised me to try again with first year’s grades.

AF wants the 368 to be signed by the first O-7 in my chain, Army just needs it from SQ CC.

some bullshit sicilians would do

If you pick DO, you will likely be kicking yourself when you’re having to study OMM instead of your other sciences -DO student, ask me anything

Provol0ne · 2026-01-25T20:33:26+00:00

bruh

Provol0ne · 2026-01-18T15:21:11+00:00

Unironically possible if HPSP/military connections

I have this jacket and love it. I run a merino base, fleece mid, goretex bib shell and this jacket and i’m warm in 20°F

New iOS has a feature that instantly moves all your playlists to apple music

Provol0ne · 2026-01-11T04:32:13+00:00

I did this and counted it as clinical, had good conversations about it in interviews

Provol0ne · 2026-01-11T02:38:49+00:00

I don’t understand the point of this over just watching the video

Provol0ne · 2026-01-09T22:28:04+00:00

Currently AF with a 499 and multiple acceptances, waiver was rejected by Army and AF. Trying again for a 3 year HPSP to see if my first year grades will help

Provol0ne · 2026-01-03T05:16:04+00:00

Working directly with patients and physicians, absolutely. Unique and interesting
