This week was one of those “school year is almost here” kind of weeks—chill, but still super productive in a very med-student way. In this vlog, I take you with me as I learn the basics of splinting for broken bones. It’s hands-on, practical, and honestly the kind of skill that reminds you medicine isn’t just exams and flashcards—there’s real-world stuff you need to be ready for. I also worked on getting my online first aid certification, which is one of those low-effort, high-impact things you can do before the semester ramps up. If you’re a pre-med, med student, or just someone who wants to be more useful in emergencies, this is a good peek into what training looks like and how I fit it into a normal week. Takeaway: you don’t need an “intense grindset” week to move forward—small wins like learning a core skill, getting certified, and resetting your routine before classes start really add up.
