Third year of medical school is intense, exhausting, and honestly life-changing. In this video, I’m rating my third-year medical school rotations so far — Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Psychiatry — based on lifestyle, mental health, interest, teaching, and shelf exams. This is my honest experience as a third-year medical student and not meant to discourage anyone. Every medical school and rotation is different, but I wanted to share what third year *actually* felt like for me. If you’re a pre-med, medical student, or heading into third year, I hope this gives you a realistic perspective on clinical rotations and helps you feel less alone. ✨ Chapters included so you can skip to the rotation you’re curious about. 00:00 Intro 02:20 Internal Medicine Overview 03:05 A Typical Day in Internal Medicine 07:45 My Interest in Internal Medicine 09:31 Internal Medicine Lifestyle 11:07 Mental Health During Internal Medicine 12:16 IM Teaching & Shelf Exam 12:41 Surgery Overview 13:23 A Typical Day in Surgery 15:45 My Interest in Surgery 16:30 Mental Health During Surgery 19:32 Surgery Lifestyle 21:37 Surgery Teaching & Shelf Exam 27:03 Psychiatry Overview 28:49 A Typical Day in Psychiatry 31:30 My Interest in Psychiatry 33:01 Mental Health During Psychiatry 33:21 Psychiatry Lifestyle 34:16 Psychiatry Teaching & Shelf Exam 36:00 Final Ranking & Takeaways Let me know in the comments which rotation you want me to rate next or which one you’re most nervous for 🤍 📍Filmed as a third-year medical student Thanks for watching & don’t forget to subscribe ✨ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more med school and pre-med content!
