After reflecting on what I learnt in 1st year of medical school and 2019 in general, I share 20 lessons (life and medicine-related) that I think will add value to my 2020, and hopefully to yours too :) Some may be obvious, others cliche but I hope you find them useful! Enjoy! WHO AM I? I'm a medical student at Sydney University, Australia. I document my life in medical school, vlog my experiences outside of university, and also share some tips about medicine interviews and the admissions process.
