 All right, this is going to be a good one. So if you're on your medical journey and you love YouTube, this is going to be the video for you because today's video we are going to break down the best YouTube channels here on the platform that can help you on your medical journey whether it's learning the content or helping with the tips, let's get into it. What's going on guys, welcome back to channel. My name is Lakshman, internal medicine resident and today we are going to unite the Avengers of the medical YouTube community. We have my Captain America shirt going on but today I'm going to find those Avengers on the far corners of the medical community that are going to help you just crushed on a medical journey. I'm super excited because there are so many amazing channels that I've used on my medical journey used as a pre-med, used as a med student, even now it uses a resident that I know can help you with both the knowledge and the tips that we all kind of need to make this journey just a little bit easier. So hopefully you guys enjoy this list and we're going to go right into my computer to kind of show you my favorite channels but if I do miss one that you really love make sure you add it in the comments section down below and speaking up below if you want a nice little freebie stay tuned to the very end of the video but let's get into my computer and start with the channel that I absolutely love. Now channel number one that I absolutely love is Medcram. Now this is a channel that is led by hopefully I say this right, Dr. Salette but he is a board certified pulmonologist, ICU doctor in sleep medicine and he makes amazing, amazing videos kind of guiding you through like drawing illustrations of pretty much any topic in medicine and I particularly found this channel when I was starting residency because there's a lot of things that I should know as a brand new doctor that I just didn't know and you can kind of even see some of the videos that I've watched early on like inhalers never made sense the names of them but this video like made it so much easier and particularly the things such as ventilations and ICU level care which for me in medical school I didn't do so having this channel just kind of guide me through the very different things is just amazing and I'm just to kind of give you guys the stats as I'm making of this videos there are 363 videos I'm still putting out videos every single month on this channel and as you can see they also have 1.27 million subscribers so if you're interested in some high quality learning and high quality teaching definitely give these videos a go they also have some premium videos like off YouTube that you guys can definitely check out but I'll link the video down below in the description in case you're interested now channel number two is Osmosis now this is obviously a company that many people on their medical journey in medical school particular know very well of but their YouTube channel sometimes people aren't aware of how high quality of content they've had this has been existing since I was in med school at least and the beauty of just their thumbnails their videos their illustrations and breaking down again essentially any concept but also doing this in more of an animated style where the previous channel on medcrams would usually do it through a drawing kind of format their videos are absolutely amazing as you guys can see some of their videos are getting 2.7, 2.5, 2.4 million views as the making of this video there are nearly a thousand videos on Osmosis YouTube channel as well as constantly putting out about 10 videos per month so there will clearly be something for you so definitely give them a subscribe if you haven't checked them out already now channel number three definitely does require any introduction but it's likely saved one of our butts on our medical journey already and this is specifically Khan Academy now you're probably familiar with Khan Academy but what you probably didn't know is that they have their own YouTube channel specifically for medical concepts and so this is called the Khan Academy Medicine YouTube channel so name obviously makes sense right now they have as I'm making this video 1.47 million subscribers and they've put out nearly 1300 videos which is absolutely insane and it's perfect for a student so obviously if you're in medical school or nursing school and you need to watch some quick refreshers but also if you're studying for board exams like the MCAT or the GRE if you're going to PA school and MCAT for med school now I know for a fact I use some of these videos when I was studying for the MCAT way back then to definitely save myself some money instead of those expensive courses and I definitely still have some students that I work with even to this day we're primarily creating an entire MCAT schedule specifically around some of the videos on Khan Academy now in case you're not familiar with Khan Academy's teaching style usually they're done on a digital black-white board with kind of text and everything drawn out but they're so pretty useful the drawings are very efficient and I think that they do a great job of having illustrations and explanations all in one with relatively short videos as you guys can see on this most of them are between seven and 12ish minutes and so it doesn't really require a lot of time plus YouTube you can speed up videos 2x and so it allows you to get through more videos much quicker now channel number three that you probably heard of that we've come across but may not have given their resources enough chance is Luxurio now and it's definitely a channel that ever saw us and will pop up on my feed because whenever I'm looking up like one topic for residency then their videos will show up but their teaching style is a little bit different it's more kind of a PowerPoint with one instructor kind of talking about the various topics you probably recognize some of the faces for example this is Dr. O who used to have his own YouTube channel it may sound like videos but he's definitely one of the first YouTube channels to kind of do what I do now which is get tips to people on their night journey but now he's making some of their videos for their company as well and they have videos regarding everything from anatomy to individual topics such as pathology, you farm so if you're early on your medical journey this may be a concept and a style of teaching that may be relatively reasonable and their videos have a variety of links so some of them can be really short so like one or two minutes here and then things for anatomy can be anywhere from like 40, 30 minutes so if you're ever in a situation where you're like man class lectures just literally just suck then this may be a good option in between where you can just try to find a relative video on Luxurio and then instead just replace that for the lectures that you just didn't want to watch for class so the making of this video right now they have about 972 videos about four videos per month and about 530,000 subscribers now channel number five is the Dr. Najeeb Lectures now this is probably going to be either a hit or miss depending on who you are or what community you are now if you know anything about Dr. Najeeb he has been making videos for quite some time here on YouTube basically giving out free content in a very lecture heavy kind of standpoint so imagine you're a professor on a whiteboard teaching you various concepts such as EKG interpretations intro to neuro-optimology but it's definitely done in a lecture environment because he's typically talking to somebody in front of him and then is recording these videos to be placed on YouTube so some people absolutely love the style of teaching because it feels like you have your own professor but he's definitely talking to somebody else in the audience they also have their own premium models in case you do enjoy their videos on YouTube right now as I'm making this video they have 448 videos most recently as the past 30 days they put out two videos and right now they have 1.57 million subscribers a few things that I really enjoy about these videos is that usually they are taught in a very easy to understand metaphor as kind of are used very often on the whiteboard and so long term retention is usually a big plus but sometimes audio is a little bit off because typically again it's in a lecture environment so depending on who's talking you may hear noises in the background but it usually is not off-putting and sometimes depending on who you are the accent of Dr. Najeeb which has a very classic Indian accent can be easy to understand or not regardless I found a lot of these lectures to be very helpful to be able to definitely break down and understand things that kind of made sense to me in residency but not so much so if you're unfamiliar with the Dr. Najeeb lectures definitely give those a shot now moving into a different type of channel but something that I would consider to be a dark horse although they're a much bigger channel already comparatively to how long they've been on YouTube is the Mike and Maddie YouTube channel now if you guys know them or if they're watching like let me know because a collaboration would be amazing because these guys are fantastic they are brothers, they're doctors and they make videos basically concepts like I do but their quality is just like on a different level and they help with things such as studying and how to balance life in medicine, productivity their thumbnails are amazing their concepts are really good their storyline, the way that they just talk is just like very easy to hear and I don't think either of them have a British accent so there's no Ali Abdullah effect here but they still have an amazing high quality channel as you guys can see they put on 104 videos and already they're approaching 200,000 subscribers so congratulations to you guys for your amazing success you highly deserve it the videos are absolutely awesome and I expect in the future they're gonna continue to broaden their horizons and provide even more helpful tips in addition to just the study tips that they do right now and from my understanding I believe this is true and this is also the other right here so I'm pretty sure I'm right they're also the founders and creators of RemNote which is definitely a tool that I'm very familiar with definitely give this channel a shot I think it's gonna be hard to not continue to watch their videos but right now I think they're on a huge trajectory again if you guys are watching or you're one of their supporters then also watch my channel let them know that I sent you or that I gave them a shout out because that would just awesome be kind of amazing you guys are doing a great job I definitely recommend if you guys haven't and you enjoy my content and my tips then these would be amazing people to continue to watch and if you're coming from their channel hopefully my channel can do that for you as well next up we have a channel that has the energy that I definitely wanna have in my videos and this is the Ninja Nerd YouTube channel which is does such a fantastic job that can't illustrate that enough of talking about really complex and common medical topics but just with amazing thumbnails amazing topics and they're all on the whiteboard I'm just gonna put it here on you just so you guys can see how fantastic these lectures are there's like beautiful drawings and you just wanna listen to this guy talk for an hour and 42 minutes about causes of acute pancreatitis as ridiculous as that sounds but look at this this is so beautiful like I can't draw like that and I'm sure he's gotten better over time but again teaching you high quality medical concepts and the very easy to understand away but in a very exciting way and he's clearly pumped about it and you can see that when the audio is on so if you haven't checked out the Ninja Nerd YouTube channel highly recommend I can easily understand how they have 1.3 million subscribers in making this video and just for the rest of the stats some of their videos are getting millions of views so this one has 5.6 million about coronavirus 0.3 about COVID treatments but they've put out 480 videos and 19 videos in the last 30 days so an awesome posting schedule and so if you guys want a high level of consistency and high level of quality for your medical knowledge definitely give the Ninja Nerd channel a try and as we're getting to our last few YouTube channels the next one I really enjoy is called Armando and I apologize on pronunciation here Hasu Dungan so that Armando Hasu Dungan YouTube channel hopefully I said it correctly at that time 1.9 million subscribers you're so close to 2 million so congratulations hopefully by the time this video comes out you're already there 469 videos one video on the last 30 days but their teaching style is also very similar to some of our prior channels that uses illustrations in a very nicely effective kind of illustrative way but to help you in some relatively short videos in 15 to 12 to 21 minutes I always enjoyed those videos that are like things like Pathomas that can teach you medical concepts through drawings, through metaphors and really to be able to use pictures, audio and visuals all in one to be able to help long term retention this is definitely a great YouTube channel to check it out so I will link them down below in case you guys are interested and last but not least this is not to toot my own horn but in case you are new here and you're just sitting in this on YouTube channel the empty journey in case you guys are not familiar is my YouTube channel basically I create videos to help you guys on your medical journey by teaching you tips on things like how to study how to prepare for certain resources for certain exams as well as things like how to be happy so this is our most recent YouTube channel as the making of this video currently I am at 23,000 subscribers approaching 24,000 I've been doing this for the last four to five years so thank you guys so much for the support 306 videos so far and about six to eight videos per month so hopefully if you guys are new to this channel I'm not gonna talk very much about it hopefully you guys just enjoy the content so whether it's about studying, productivity my hunky video is probably gonna be the most popular on the YouTube channel by far you guys really enjoyed it this is a full walkthrough in case you guys are interested there's plenty of other things like such as how to study faster how to get better grades the techniques I use in medical school so enough of tooting my own horn my main goal for this channel is basically I'm gonna do
