I sure can't thank you so much for having me on your podcast. So I have to tell you that I'm really very excited for this episode because it's the first time I'll be talking to medical students. So so far I have had people who are from different backgrounds, but no one had really studied medicine and I'm really very excited and looking forward to this episode we to her. I'm excited. So a pervert. Tell us more about yourself. Okay, so I'm a medical student like you said and I'm studying in George Young University in China. So it's in a city near Shanghai. It's called Hangzhou. I have been here for three years and my course is about 6 years old and I'm originally from India, but I used to live in Singapore before I moved here. Okay, so then you have been like out of India for like how many years now? Almost five six years. Yeah about five six years and then you completed your prior studies in India itself, or you did I study until 10th grade in India, and I did my last few months of 10th grade and 11th and 12th in Singapore. And after that I moved to China. Yeah. Okay. So what got you interested in medicine like did you always wanted to be a doctor? I've been interested in medicine. I could really really long time. So it's like school time. I never liked Matt. I was always like super interested in BIO. So like Stoli this interest for bird biology, like if you don't developed into an interest for medicine, so I did some job shadowing with some hospitals during my time in Singapore and I got to see some like really good clinical cases. So that kind of like really pushed me and you know motivated me to you know, finally go Medicine I'd already been working on my application around then but like, you know, just seeing some cases in hospital. He clearly made it like yeah, this is it. This is what you need to do. Yes, it's nice. So you always had it in you and you knew that you wanted to do somewhere something in the field of medicine. Yes. So but then back then in India when you were still in India's be there you come across people who influenced your decision on pursuing my dad. Listen, or they really pushed you hard or give you an option which is just do mbbs because you know, that's the thing in India at least medicine and getting other first options for people that is true in India so much. Like there was never any pressure from my family to either pursue medicine or engineering but like it was just like an interest or if like all the subjects that I studied I liked but the most and in school I used Do you like best in BIO since the beginning? So I always thought that I want to do, you know continued somewhere where I know I can perform. Well. Yes, I can imagine and it's always good to pursue what you like to with the subjective like then you can always do good in that. Yes, so it's maybe it's too early to ask but like have you decided which field you would like to specialize in after your mbbs? And we this is the day I've always wanted to go into Neurosurgery, but like at this moment, it feels I'm not super sure about it. But I'm hoping when I have my rounds are like not sign or my rounds my internship here is I would have like a better idea about what I want to really specialize in. Yeah. I mean, yeah I can imagine you are still in your third year and you have to explore a lot yet. So why did you choose to do your studies in China are like there any specific academic advantages? Self studying medicine in China. Okay. So when I started my medical school application, my first option was UK. I was also applying to India and I was China was actually my backup plan. So when I apply to you, okay, I got into university called University of East Anglia and I wrote my entrance exams in India, but like the fees for UK seemed like a bit too expensive for me because like to study for five years and Okay so much it just you know, you seem like a very doable thing for me. So China then my next two options will China or India? So with China advantage that I thought was present is that first of all, there is not much ragging in China. I mean, not much actually it is zero dragging in China compared to India, which I'm sure you know, there's a lot of dragging and then and point to consider true definitely safety is very important then other than that we have Really good infrastructure here. There are very good like universities. My university is very very big. It's really huge. Like I have a small bike that I have to write to get from one end to the other end of the university and on top of that there's a lot of research opportunities in this University as far as I know. India doesn't really focus so much on the search like certain universities, but like over here my University produces a lot a lot of research papers every year and at the same time It is quite affordable christening in a private Medical College in India is as good as studying in UK. It's about the same price and getting into German College is very very very competitive. I do not want to waste like two three years trying to write an entrance exam and clear it. So like overall I felt like China was the best option for me. Cheers. And I mean, yeah, like I totally agree that in India, there is a lot of competition and the number of good quality is formed. Listen at least government colleges are very few. So there's a lot of competition here. So but how does m the medicine thing work in China? So is it seemed like the mbbs degree which we get in India and how for how many years do you have to study? Yeah, it's the same degree, mbbs Bachelor of medicine Bachelor of surgery. It is different from what they do in us, but like in the end we are all doctors. This is a six-year course where the Here is basic sciences. And then from second are 260 or we have like medical sciences and we have our internship years. So it's structure is very similar to India where we first have the theory and then we have the internship years in the end. Whereas in u.s. It's like a kind of a mix of both and especially in UK. It's kind of a mix of put because like UK medical students have internships not internships actually basically like time in the hospital like since the beginning when I was over here. In China, it's almost the same as India. So we have two to three years of medical sciences. And then my last one and a half year is internship. Okay, so it's similar in that way. And then also you can do your specialization after your mbbs. Yes. Okay. So it's also for two years just like in India, so I did so what is the special? It depends on what you want to spend? Specialize in so like if you graduate from a Chinese medical like from China, then you have to write an exam to study continue studying or like do your internship in India like your job. So as of now, it's called the SMG if I'm not wrong. So it's like a foreign medical graduate exam and you have to clear that before you can work in a hospital in India. If you want to work abroad for example in u.s. Then you have to clear USMLE if you want to work in UK, you have to clear P labs. So after you clear it, then you can choose like a residency program and based on what you want to specialize in. It can be like two years or it can even be seven years. Okay, that's long. Yeah quite long. So it's basically if you want to live you study in one country, but you want to continue your further studies in a different country. You always have to give this exam do yeah. Okay. We're going to continue with enjoying you have to An exam but the thing is as far as I know that the exam that you have to write is incomplete Chinese. So if you are able to, you know develop your Chinese to that level by the time you graduate then you're definitely this is an option for you. Okay, it's good. Yeah, and then I you learning Chinese then. Well, I am it's actually come today to study Chinese when you are studying here. Okay, I don't know about other person's but like for me especially because we have internship years which will be done in the Chinese hospitals. So all of our patients will be speaking Chinese. So by the time our internship your start we have to pass this exam called hsk for which is like I else or TOEFL which Like the English language exam so it's very similar to that. And we also have a speaking test which is called H SK K. So the university gave us glasses from first here to second year for the hsk poor and then in our third year, we will have half a semester of medical Chinese. Okay, so it's good that the university is organizing this so you learn it. Yeah, I think all universities in China provide you with Chinese classes. So are you enjoying learning Chinese so far? But yeah, it's actually not so bad because like whenever anyone here signing is they're like, oh my God, this must be so hard, but I think it's very doable. Like you can learn Chinese and because over here you're forced to learn Chinese like there's no option like for you know, if I speak to this person, maybe they'll reply in English. We probably won't so, you know to survive you have to speak whatever tiny 0 so it definitely She hopes. Yeah, but then do people that understand English or do they speak English nowadays quite a lot of people do like in Shanghai when you go to Shanghai, there will be a lot of people who speak English in certain parts of Hangzhou. You might find people who don't speak English at all. And generally you will find people who don't speak English at all, but like on campus Because we all like University students quite a lot of University students nowadays, too. Speak English. So but then I learning Chinese was not a requirement when you applied for your studies in China. Yeah, so when you apply to University, they don't require you to pass any language exams when you only when you come here the teach you and ask you to pass me some so we know about the basic language has exams. We have to give like TOEFL NIH but as far as I have heard I have heard I know that if you want to stay. In Germany, then you should know German at least you should know a and a two levels. So that was not the requirement when you have to apply in China. So it's good. I think that is because my course is taught in English. I do not know anything about the course because there are engineering courses that are taught in Chinese culture open to International students. So I don't know what the acquirements called those are but generally mbbs throughout China, which is taught in English. They don't ask Chinese beforehand. Okay, and how about the writing in are you able to now write in the language or you can just speak they do we teach the teachers had to read write speak like mint and language. It must be so different but then writing like we have been used to write English and now you have to It is it is a bit challenging in the beginning, but then you know, you just have to do it. There's no running away from it. So yes. So did you have to give any additional exams for studying mbbs making nuclear some entrances? So was there any requirement for studying medicine in China? No, you just had to give in your like high school scores and if you you know, if your high school education was not in English, then I think you have to submit your aisles or TOEFL scores. So I applied to this University through an agent so they collected all my information and the summit. To the university, but you can also apply through this portal call it school cares. It's like see you Cas. It's like you you cares. So you castles like the UK application system and we have something called as cool cast. That's what everybody calls it. So you just have to submit your high school scores if you need to submit to English-speaking scores. Yeah, it's quite simple and straightforward actually. Okay. Yeah, maybe I can also put in the link. For description so that if anyone wants to study or apply for the mbbs in China, they can go through the link. So apoorva, what were your major challenges as a medical student? Okay. So because I was studying in China. My major challenge was Chinese in the beginning, but after that, I think it's the amount of coursework that you need to understand before, you know, the next semester starts. It all seems a bit rushed. I mean, I'm sure they're not rushing it but it feels rushed to me because you know, there's just so much content and there's Never going to be enough time to fully understand and memorize all of this content. So even like weekends don't feel like we can you just have to study every day. And you know, we never study like this in high school like who studied every day in high school. So it was like a big change from Universe telling every other day to having to study every single day. Yeah. Yes, and I can imagine the vast syllabus do that. You have to cover in such a short time. You are truly can't escape studying everyday if you don't then pile of every yeah, definitely it happens like all the time if you Skip One and you're studying then you're like, oh no today. I have to do two days while studying so it's quite agree. So what are the challenges did you face as an international student in China as an international student? I feel like Firstly people will constantly question. Why are you studying in China? And even if they do and even if it seems like oh, you know after I study in China, there might not be a lot of opportunities for me in the end. I don't think that's true because what happens to you after you finish, you know University here depends on your actions. If you put in the effort to pass your licensing exams, then you will make it. So just because everyone says go most people don't make it doesn't mean you also won't make it and even if people look down upon you I mean, they don't know what your situation here is they like people in India might be like, oh my God, you're studying in China, but they don't know like how good the infrastructure here is what kind of research opportunities you have here. So whenever people give you their opinion, but what you are studying, you must always remember that you are the one who like, you know knows your own situation the best Just people looking from outside judging what you are doing. So you must believe in your own decisions to you know, study here and like not give up. Jeez. I totally completely agree with you or for you on this point because yes many times people have a perception and then they judge you and then you start feeling that. Oh, is it not good enough or am I not doing good enough panel at that moment. You really need to believe otherwise then everything gets devastated and you should know that you can do it and you chose to do it. So it's very important to believe and to add to that. I feel like living away from home is also like a major factor because over here like food can sometimes be an issue if you're especially like a vegetarian but like even if it's like, oh, you know missing home missing food. You must remember that it's just six years you can get through these six years and then you can go back home or no eat your food. Everyone has to struggle to get where they want. So must you know, Never give up. So but you said about this thing? So did you also face such questions major questions or perceptions from people that you are studying in China and in a negative way, you know constantly, I feel like Kevin might do sometimes I like. Oh when I actually first told everyone that oh, yeah. I think I'm going to go to China. They're like, oh no she went to China create. What are you doing? So there's always going to be those like negative perceptions and their work. Quite a like there was this major point when I was like, oh my God, maybe this was not the right decision and maybe I should quit and you know drop medicine and do something else but I just realized I wouldn't belong anywhere else because when I was like, oh if I drop out then what do I study next? I couldn't figure anything out. Like I didn't want to study anything other than medicine. So at this point, I feel like this was the best situation for me. So I had to continue even if people you know, Honestly think it's it's China or Iran all those negative opinions. But yeah, I think it's this perception about China that we at least Indians have and we consider it as not good enough and option but we really like you said don't know deep down what the situation is or how good opportunities. They also have to offer and it's not just a perk China I can share it with you. That when I decided to study in the Netherlands people were like why not the lands and why not us. So I think it's just so about us and India that every other student wants to go and pursue their studies in us and we are not open to other opportunities and if we are not open that still okay, but we don't even care and bother to stop and listen and check out like what other countries have to offer so I can totally understand what you're saying. Yes, but it can get very very demotivating. Sometimes so how did you deal with this such negativity from people or such perceptions? I actually when I felt like dropping out especially because of you know, actually one of my close friends dropped out of University because she felt like there were not enough opportunities after you know, we graduate from here and I'd like really hit me hard because I was like, oh my God, I have to drop out I can't Stay here anymore. But like when I felt so like depressed and like unsure of what I'm doing right now. I spoke to a lot of people before I made my decision. So I spoke to my parents who immediately like Paladin were like, oh my God, you cannot drop out. What are you doing? Oh my God. Hey, then I spoke to my older cousin brother who is also who studied medicine and just graduated this year. He started in my nipple. So he was like, well, you know you if you keep going I'm sure you can make it. So in the Honestly, I feel like it was believed that even if some people could not do it doesn't mean you also cannot do it. Whatever you reap is what you saw. So if you put in the effort, you will get the results you want. So just because there are no examples for you to see that. Oh, you know somebody from my school did pumps USMLE and get into u.s. It is a bit demotivating it is a bit like, you know, oh my God, can I do it, but you have to continue it's like either this or you do something. That's completely unrelated to this. So you have to understand like I you truly passionate about my medicine, you know pursuing this. Yes, I can imagine also Medi-Cal feel is so demanding and stressful and then you have to deal with all of this post your step. He said it can be very depressing suit. She's but I think you're doing great and I wish you all good luck and just believe in yourself like you. You hadn't right now because I can feel that you have made up your mind and you will do it very well when you get go through. This is just a matter of three years from now. Yeah, thank you so much for your time. Honestly believe all of us have that one like really deep down thing like, oh, no, everything's going downhill. Everything's just going to end now but you must know just come up from it. And then even if I mean for me, I felt like I wanted to continue medicine but there might be people who, you know want to quit. And don't want to pursue medicine and that is also totally okay. If you feel like you would be happier in some other field or produ better in some other field and you should definitely go for it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So medical is definitely not easy we know and it's very demanding and challenging. So how do you manage your time and your studies along with other activities, which you have to do every day. Okay, honestly. So like in an Ideal World, I would be studying like seven eight hours every day, but honestly, it is hard to motivate myself to study when there are no exams coming up which is like right now. So I study about 3 to 4 hours every day after my classes, but during my exams I study for 12 to 14 hours. And I know this is hard like a healthy balance or anything but this is like a system that usually works for me. So I would suggest it is You know best to study every day after your classes, especially because you know, you're still in the mood you're still in that flow. So if you like take a break like a big break after your classes, it's hard to get back into studying. And yeah, usually I started 45 hours. I am weekends. I tend to study a bit more about six hours seven hours and yeah doing something support 10 to 12 hours or something like that. Yeah, so you have lectures every day. I don't have lectures every day right now. So my timetable changes every semester as of now like this semester. I have Thursday's off. So like on Thursdays I usually go out to study in the morning and then I study at like I go out around 10 o'clock and then I come back at six o'clock seven o'clock. So I have like a full day of studying and usually my classes aren't that long? It's like around eight o'clock to twelve o'clock or some classes are nine o'clock to 340. So it's not super. Long compared to a India some classes go on like from 8 a.m. To 5 p.m. So I'm really don't have anything like that in this semester at least. Yeah. Yeah, because I knew some of my friends in India who were studying medicine and they had like you said very long hours of lectures and then at the end they didn't have much time for self study. So it's very difficult to balance your studies other stuff means so apoorva have seen your Instagram profile and it's really very nice. Nice, I really like it and you shared some amazing note taking techniques and also some tips for medical students on Instagram. So how did you get into science communication? Thanks a lot for that. We're seeing you like my account because I put a lot of effort. So in the beginning I used to follow a lot of study accounts from my personal account. So I would regularly see them and I like to take notes and like highlight text books. So I would take pictures and post them on my personal account. But like eventually I decided you know, I turned can just start a studies account which is focused on what I'm doing right now because I thought like this would help me share my story because I honestly haven't seen many Instagram accounts which are of medical students in China. So I thought like by doing this I give like a voice to everyone standing here and an opportunity for people who are thinking of pursuing medicine like you know, China is Don't option because Chinese universities up quite highly ranked. So it was like, you know to motivate myself and at the same time to show people what my life here is like and at the same time. I feel like this study Community has kind of given me a lot of resources like for my own studying so I see certain accounts online and I'm like, oh, wow, I did not know about this USMLE resource. Now, I have you know this extra resource that I can use and then I also meet people Like you, you know, I wouldn't have met you if I hadn't started this account and I get to you know, talk to different kind of people who are doing different courses and like a broader and standing so yeah here I think this is a very good use of social media and good way to connect with you. Like I said, I wouldn't have found you because I found you you because of your note taking techniques, you know, I was looking for digital note-taking and studying and that's how I came across your account and I really I did and then I thought oh, she's doing great. And we need to have her on our podcast. So I just ask you but and it is really very nice account and I am truly inspired by your those pictures with you share and the way you take notes so much. Thank you. I really appreciate I actually wanted to digital note-taking through certain accounts. Like I used to follow this account called just be studying and like many studies and I used to deceive and I was like, wow the user an iPad in the Life Is So efficient in the you know, yeah, I started using like digital no teams is so cool. And I was like, I need to get an iPad to get into this and like it really changed the way I study. It has made it so much more efficient. Yeah. Yes. I think I was more of a student who preferred writing notes are used unlike on paper notes, and now I have also shifted to digital note taking and I think it's very easy to manage things. Now you always have And notes with you everywhere you go. Yeah, it's nice. Yes, but I really appreciate your effort and thought into this also that because many people are not aware and then you have taken a step so that people know more about studying in China and I think it's very nice of you to do that. So, do you have any tips and advice for young people who are interested in your career path or also for anyone who is interested in studying medicine in China? Or for that matter a just studying medicine abroad. So I feel like you should do this. If you are sure that you want to do this because it's not like a real short time commitment. Once you go into this, it's like a lifetime of studying and constantly giving in a lot of time and effort into your profession and course not like I'm saying that other coaches and professions don't have this much work, but I feel like Medicine really pulls out a lot of energy and like it requires a lot of her time so there will be an art stresses in your life. There will be a lot of times where you'd feel like giving up but you must pursue this the queue be like, yes, I can bring myself back up. I am capable of doing this and at the same time I know a lot of people say that medicine is very very hard and it is very very hard, but it is not something that you cannot do everyone actually anyone who wants to put in. Effort and believes they can, you know work hard can pursue medicine and can become a really good doctor. So just don't let the medicine is very hard medicine is like a lifetime commitment to pull you back from pursuing it if you really want to do it like in the end. It should be your passion like you should have this or nothing else. It should be like that. If you really want to you know study medicine because studying abroad is the commitment of time money and like, you know, Who sacrificed a lot of things so you should just do it only if you really want to do it. Yeah. Also, I think when you become a doctor you are dealing with the life and it's a matter of someone's life and death. So yes, it's a lot of commitment and you have to be really very passionate about doing that so that you just do it in the best possible way because if you have to save people's life, let it's not a pressure. It's something that should come from you from inside you that you can go through it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's like if you're not doing your best and if you're not giving your hundred percent you will you know risking somebody's life. So like the beginning of med school to the very end of your career. You just have to give any a hundred percent all the time. Yes. So approval when you're not studying. What do you like to do? Are you into any sports? I'm not sporty at all. I'm actually super and athletic and very physically weak. I I like watching TV shows. I don't know if it counts as a hobby, but I really like to watch TV shows and I like to read books whenever I'm free. Yeah, and it book sorry any favorite book currently reading or my conscience. I was reading the when bread becomes are that was the last book? This reading have you heard of it. It's like this book by Doctor Who was diagnosed with cancer and it's like his story through how you know, he had to deal with it's actually quite interesting. Other than that. Yeah, because sometimes because of my course I don't have enough time to read so I just watch TV shows like, you know while I'm eating dinner when I'm eating lunch and like I go out with my friends a lot. Yeah. I like to go out. I don't study everyday like Evan honestly because that's what some people being like medical student to always start again. Honestly, I feel like I go out more than I study like I would just go out to some place to study maybe or like go out just for dinner go out for lunch. So it is so necessary to take a break from your study because otherwise you completely drain yourself out. Oh, yeah. I definitely take some time out to chill between studying. Yeah. So any favorite TV shows or do you watch any series on Netflix? Yeah, I have actually finished our series recently. I'm currently watch Game of Thrones. I'm on season five and I finish watching Rick and Morty recently and I watched big mouth. I don't know I watch a lot of shows these Game of Thrones and drink and party. It's fun. Have you seen Rick and Morty? Yes. I love you, too. I think my favorite cartoon show. It's amazing. So I have a very cliche question for you. But Chinese food or Indian food whole definitely Indian food. Oh my God, I miss home food so much. I'm not even a good like cook or anything. I'm not very like gifted and cooking like my mom's really good at cooking but I am not so good. So like I really really miss home food. There are a couple of Indian restaurants in my city and there's one like really near my universe Tina. Well, you know, it's not the same as home food, right? Not yeah, so I have a question for you. I know you always wanted to be into this and you always wanted to be a doctor, but if not, then what other career you think you would have chosen or you would like to pursue other than medicine so nice. I really like this question. Oh my God, it's not medicine. I thought about becoming a writer because I really love reading and sometimes I like to write. Each other I also thought I considered fashion designing for a while. But when I do my Indian parents that I want to do fashion designing they were like, okay, that's right. That's the way yeah, and I cleared you like holding management like managing stuff. But yeah again, you know in France like wait what? Yeah, so yeah, but it's like very diverse from any are so many options in Yo, and that's nice. Yeah me neither. On this tour of myself to be a bit of a creative person but in the end I was like, you know medicine and my parents never pressurized me to do medicine. My parents were actually against it. They're like, oh no don't do medicine. It's like, you know a really long commitment. It's going to take a while. Why don't you do engineering instead? I was like, I don't even know and I will do medicine then. This is a very good thing because most of the time it's the parents. Who influence the decision of their kids to pursue medicine, but it's good that you didn't happen. So are there any three people with whom you would like to go for dinner? Any famous personalities may they may be movie actors or writers or any other person whom you would like to go on a dinner with like those famous personalities. Hmm. Okay. I want to go to dinner with just three people you can see movement. I really like Chris Pine. Okay. Yes, Captain America and had Twitter. Yeah, I mean I know they're all actors. But like I would really like to meet all of these people. Yeah, I actually do like Bella Hadid that are too I mean, I know this is like a science the podcast but like these are to focus your other side and just to tell Tell everyone that researchers medicine students also have a life and we are not geeky students and we do some other stuff. We will sort of exciting stuff online. So this doesn't have to be focused on signs. Because it is there anything else you would like to add some tips anything to do and mistakes to avoid for our listeners come in. This is not just for my license during this is for like anybody who is pursuing anything. Like if you believe that you can do well in what you are doing and if you feel like you're capable of putting in the effort and getting the results you want. You should really go on no matter what anyone sees. Yeah if this is what your dream is because in the end when you're like The world you should be doing what you want to do. I will then, you know, just getting through life. Yeah, I think this is very important. Thank you so much for joining us apoorva and for sharing your journey so far. It was really a pleasure talking to you. I'm sure listening to this episodes and the tips you shared about studying medicine notes taking and also science communication will help our listeners and you are truly an inspiration for them. Also. Thank you so much for clearing. So many myths about About studying in China, and I wish you good luck for your studies and thank you for joining. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you.
