Hey , are you looking for a community

0:02

to help you prepare for the MCAT and

0:05

the medical school application process ? You're

0:07

in for a treat , because today is part

0:10

two of our episode with future

0:12

Dr Khaled L Jack . He's

0:14

the founder of a discord community to

0:16

help support you along your journey

0:18

. In this episode

0:20

of the BlackMed Connect podcast

0:22

, we jump in and talk all about

0:24

his entity . We talk about his

0:26

experiences as a medical student

0:29

and more , and if you want to stick

0:31

around , there's a special bonus for you at

0:33

the end . But you've got to watch all the way to

0:35

the end to get that bonus . Let's

0:37

jump right into the episode and

0:56

so you're maneuvering through your clinical years

0:58

. You've done your preclinical

1:01

classroom work . What got

1:03

you interested in ophthalmology and

1:06

how did you begin to navigate

1:09

, making sure you were going

1:12

to be the best applicant possible to

1:14

match into an ophthalmology residency

1:16

program ? For the audience who may

1:18

not know , that's an extremely competitive

1:20

field , an extremely competitive field

1:22

.

1:23

So I got through

1:25

my pre-clerkship classes

1:28

and they still didn't necessarily know what

1:30

I wanted to do . And then I started

1:32

my clerkship year and

1:34

I was navigating different opportunities and

1:36

one close friend of mine at a different

1:39

school brought to my attention was a program

1:41

called the Minority Ophthalmology Mentorship

1:43

Program . It's also called the MOM Program

1:45

and it's sponsored by the AAO

1:47

and it's specifically for underrepresented minority

1:49

students interested in ophthalmology

1:51

. So I got admitted to

1:53

that program . Thankfully , and I think that

1:55

really tuned me into ophthalmology I

1:58

was able to go to the national meeting . They

2:01

gave me a mentor , like

2:03

directly you get assigned a mentor , and I was able

2:05

to continue with that mentor . I actually called

2:07

him literally last week . He was talking

2:10

about my match . So I was just like I

2:12

got tuned into the field by

2:14

that mentorship program . And then

2:16

I went to shadow an ophthalmologist

2:18

at my med school and thankfully

2:21

we had one week of ophthalmology

2:23

actually in our clinical rotations . So

2:25

there was a week where I

2:27

always kept it in my back pocket , so

2:29

like I would go through my rotations and

2:31

then mentally I'd compare it , I'd be like , okay , I just

2:33

did pediatrics , do I want

2:35

to do this more than that ? And then I

2:37

would think , okay , no , I still want to do this more . And then

2:39

I continued thinking that as

2:41

I went through , and after every single clerkship , I

2:44

was like , okay , this is the thing that I still really

2:46

want to do .

2:47

I love that . I love that , especially that comparison

2:50

. I think people don't realize . Everybody

2:52

doesn't know , even when you say

2:54

you're going to do one thing , because we know . Obviously

2:56

when you're trying to get into med school

2:58

, the more clear you can paint the picture that

3:01

you have direction and that you're excited

3:03

about a specific thing . It just helps you

3:05

to be more competitive . But everybody

3:08

knows on every admissions

3:10

committee that people are going to change their minds . So

3:13

that mechanism that you had to like

3:15

say okay , I really like this . You know I

3:17

rate this a 10 out of 10 . Can something exceed

3:20

that or not ? That's a really cool way

3:22

to think about . You know how you're going to choose

3:24

your specialty over time as you're in your clinical

3:26

years . So that's really cool . And

3:28

then the other pro tip that I want to make sure we

3:31

highlight , because , again , I think you're

3:33

dropping some huge tips to

3:36

find mentorship opportunities

3:38

and programs that help you navigate

3:40

the career you're interested in , even

3:43

in med school , and I'll even take it a

3:45

step further and say even for you , even in residency

3:47

, because some people think you know

3:49

, keep your head down , do your classes , do

3:52

your clerkships , but you really do

3:54

need to think about what interest groups you're

3:56

going to join what national organizations

3:58

exist to help you reach your goals and

4:01

, to your point , the program you were able to join

4:03

to make sure you knew all the steps you needed

4:05

to know to be a successful applicant . So

4:07

can you say that it was the American Academy

4:09

of Ophthalmology ?

4:11

So the American Academy of Ophthalmology like is the

4:13

sponsoring organ ? Yeah , the

4:15

program itself is called the Minority Ophthalmology

4:18

Mentorship Program , also called like

4:20

MOM or MOM program is the abbreviation

4:22

I will . I actually

4:24

thought of one other , one other tip to answer the second half of

4:26

your question . I think one

4:28

thing that's also helpful is if

4:30

you have any interests or

4:32

indication that you might want to pursue like a

4:34

competitive specialty , like whatever ophthalmology

4:37

, dermatology , plastics there are a lot of competitive specialties

4:39

it would help to

4:41

identify that interest earlier rather

4:44

than later because , as I mentioned , I didn't

4:46

really know until after

4:48

my preclinicals and then into clerkship

4:50

here , which isn't super late but like

4:52

relative to it's not , it's not early certainly . So

4:55

I felt like I was always playing catch up , Like

4:58

I had to do a lot of research and

5:00

I would do that research like at night

5:02

, during the time that I'm studying for my

5:04

shelf exams , where it's like I actually ended

5:07

up having a lot more free time Earlier

5:09

on in medical school and had I

5:11

known I had this interest , or even if I had known

5:14

that it could be even a potential interest , I

5:16

could have really saved myself a lot

5:18

of time and effort doing that

5:20

stuff earlier .

5:21

That makes sense . So the

5:23

earlier you know , the more , the

5:25

more time you'll have to explore your interest

5:28

.

5:29

Exactly .

5:31

Gotcha , that's really good . And do you

5:33

feel like let's talk a bit

5:35

about the nuts and bolts of it ? Right , Because ophthalmology

5:38

is competitive because of the scores you need

5:40

and research opportunities and experiences

5:43

. What things do you think are critical

5:45

to the future ophthalmologists of the world

5:47

who you'll be mentoring one day when you're

5:50

a resident and an attending ?

5:52

Yeah . So I think if you break

5:54

it down into different buckets , so I think one

5:57

is developing interests

5:59

, doing electives . So after

6:02

my clerkship here I did electives within

6:04

ophthalmology , like at my home program

6:06

. There are some schools that don't have

6:08

home ophthalmology departments , which

6:11

makes it more challenging but not impossible

6:13

. So that involves like doing away rotations

6:16

and that's again where you can like lean on

6:18

mentors but I think doing

6:20

the home rotations and doing them

6:22

well so that , like , you have a

6:25

good network of supporters , a good network

6:27

of advocates , like in your own department , because

6:29

ophthalmology and , I'm assuming , other fields

6:32

that are really small , everybody knows

6:34

everybody . So you want to have

6:36

like that reputation of oh , like Khaled he's

6:38

that guy who was like working really

6:40

hard in our department we can

6:42

back his application , we can support it , we

6:44

can advocate for him , like if

6:47

it comes down to it . So like just

6:50

similar to how , like a pre-med student is trying to do

6:52

excellent in their like grades , you're trying

6:54

to do excellent on your rotations and

6:57

develop like a good reputation . Other

6:59

buckets I would say like research

7:01

is usually a core component . It

7:04

depends on the institution in which you're trying to match in

7:06

, but I would say having some research

7:08

background would be very helpful . And

7:11

then , finally , third bucket

7:13

is like your network , so the

7:15

network of mentors , people who

7:17

can like write you letters of recommendation , people

7:19

who can advocate for you when you've like identified

7:22

. Oh , this is like the place I really want to go

7:24

, and they might know somebody there

7:26

or especially in these smaller fields . It's

7:28

actually very helpful .

7:31

Yes , absolutely the network . You

7:33

got to keep building it from start to finish , from

7:35

the time you are pre-med . It really never

7:37

ends that you're going to need community support

7:39

all the way through . And you mentioned the

7:41

research . Can you share what kind of cool project that

7:43

you get to work on during this time ?

7:46

Yeah , I think probably my most interesting

7:48

project . I actually looked

7:50

at the social media platform

7:52

. Reddit is something that I was pretty

7:54

interested in and we analyzed

7:57

it . We specifically looked at the Reddit forum

7:59

r slash glaucoma , which is just a sub

8:01

Reddit on the site , looking at glaucoma

8:04

patients and basically looking at the conversations

8:06

that these patients are having and

8:08

what kind of trends arise in the conversations

8:10

. And we found that the number

8:12

one type of conversations that

8:15

patients are having on the site is conversations related to

8:17

patients , related to prognosis . So , like

8:19

these patients are worried that their visual

8:21

prognosis is poor and they're afraid

8:23

that they're , like , going to go blind . And

8:26

this is important because

8:28

Reddit is actually like an anonymous website

8:30

so anybody can can write anything

8:32

. So these patients are actually a kind of a risk

8:35

for misinformation because

8:37

anybody can go on Reddit and like comment

8:39

hey , take this medication , or I used to take this medication

8:42

. So it's important for physicians to kind of

8:44

understand this data so that

8:46

, like when they have patients in person , they can

8:48

kind of work on some of these top

8:50

questions , so that patients don't necessarily

8:52

expose themselves online to that , to

8:54

that risk .

8:56

I love that for for so many reasons

8:58

to your point , our patients are absolutely

9:01

getting information on the internet

9:03

. And a lot of it isn't necessarily

9:05

backed by evidence or may

9:08

work in a small group but not larger

9:10

groups . Like we know , most times a lot of

9:12

studies try to have as many patients as possible

9:15

enrolled in the trials to make sure

9:17

that we know the results

9:19

generalize to a whole population . But people

9:21

don't know those things when they're just , you know , googling

9:23

a question or on Reddit . To your point , that's

9:26

a really cool project to figure out what are

9:28

the challenges that patients

9:30

are really worried about and what are the common

9:33

struggles that they're worried about . And

9:35

the other really interesting thing about

9:38

what you just said , especially for our

9:40

audience members who may

9:42

be looking for research exposure opportunities

9:44

, research experiences . So many

9:46

people , especially in college , only

9:48

think of research in one particular

9:50

way .

9:51

Yeah .

9:52

So so for you to do a project

9:54

first of all that's patient focused , but

9:56

also social media focused , is really

9:58

creative , and there are a lot of different studies that

10:00

look at how social media impacts health

10:03

and how technology impacts

10:05

health . So everything's not always you

10:07

know , a lab or a mouse or animal

10:09

model . Some of us that , but a lot

10:11

of it can be really cool creative experiences like the

10:13

one you're doing .

10:14

Yeah , I would say , and this

10:16

was something that like didn't necessarily

10:18

like . A lot of times people reach out to professors

10:20

who do existing research and then they just adopt

10:23

a project . But this was something that I actually

10:25

like generate , like generated . The question

10:27

reached out to like the computer science department

10:29

, and I suggest that because If

10:32

you don't have like , it's okay to not

10:34

have a deep interest in drug

10:37

development or well , and that's okay and

10:39

there , and it's okay to love that

10:41

stuff , like . But if you have

10:43

an interest that's not necessarily

10:46

the norm , it's okay to pursue that In

10:48

terms of like residency and things like that

10:50

. If that's your passion , people will see that those

10:52

are your passions and that that's a

10:54

respectable way , even if it's a bit

10:56

different .

10:58

Yeah , yeah , and I'd argue even respectable

11:00

, and it makes you stand out right . Because

11:02

, you're doing something so unique that it immediately

11:05

captures people's attention . So

11:07

very , very cool that you were able to pursue

11:09

that interest that you had , and

11:11

you know some other interests that we both share

11:14

are medical education

11:16

and entrepreneurship

11:18

, and so I'd love to

11:20

take a moment now to talk about

11:22

kind of your passion and your

11:24

business that you have , and if you could

11:26

share more about it with the audience , that

11:28

would be fantastic .

11:30

Yeah , me and a classmate earlier

11:32

on in medical school , like four years ago , we

11:35

did a lot of freelance like

11:37

MCAT tutoring and things of that nature

11:39

. But one of the things we realized about

11:41

providing those services is number

11:43

one it's incredibly time intensive to

11:45

learn every single thing about like one specific

11:48

applicant . And then number two , it's incredibly

11:50

expensive and burdensome for

11:53

the applicant themselves . Oftentimes if

11:55

they're going like major corporations , they're

11:57

paying like thousands of dollars in admissions

11:59

packages or MCAT tutoring . So

12:02

, fast forward four years now

12:04

. In our fourth year , when we've been pretty

12:06

free in terms of our time , we

12:08

developed an idea that we were able to

12:10

answer questions to a lot of students for

12:13

a lot for a much more affordable price

12:15

point . So we use the

12:17

platform discord . It's like

12:19

a conversation platform and we

12:21

partnered with a popular social

12:24

media creator in the space . The

12:26

name is Med School bro . He has about

12:28

1.5 million followers

12:30

across , like all of his social media

12:32

following , and we created a discord

12:35

community in which me and a classmate are

12:37

there kind of on an on demand basis

12:40

like answer students questions and

12:42

interact with students across the country and across

12:44

the world .

12:46

That's amazing . And so to

12:48

your point of being creative . That's

12:50

super creative to kind of partner with

12:52

an influencer and create a community

12:54

around answering questions to

12:56

help people make sure they're successful

12:59

on their journey to getting

13:01

ready for Med School . And so

13:03

you mentioned that you did some freelance

13:05

kind of tutoring stuff . What made you want

13:07

to solidify this as a , as

13:09

an entity ? Because , of course

13:11

, for me , I'm excited about this . Right , because how amazing

13:14

is it for you , as a medical student

13:16

, to to start an entity ? Right

13:18

, because so many people again , don't think

13:20

about how you , as a person

13:22

, in your passion and your interest , can impact

13:25

people at every stage . You're

13:27

on and you all are doing it . So , like , how

13:29

did you go from like oh , this is something

13:32

we enjoy doing , to like we really need to organize

13:34

this and create a platform ?

13:36

Yeah , I think we realized that as

13:38

we work with more students , the

13:41

amount of questions that overlap is

13:44

actually very high . So if you work with 10 students

13:46

, oftentimes like eight of them have

13:48

very , very similar questions . So rather

13:50

than having one person get charged

13:53

an exorbitant amount of money to just answer

13:55

a few questions , when everybody

13:58

has the same concerns , it makes

14:00

more sense to talk to them all

14:02

in a group and if they do need like an additional

14:04

question and they want to privately ask a question , that's

14:07

fine too . So that was kind of like the generation

14:10

of the idea . And then it became

14:12

kind of like this , this entity as

14:14

you're describing , when we reached out to like a larger

14:16

creator , because they already had like

14:18

products and systems in place . So

14:20

we had to like legitimize what we were

14:22

doing to kind of keep it on par

14:25

with the existing brand that

14:27

we were working with .

14:28

Yeah , that's awesome . And a

14:31

few times throughout this conversation you've mentioned

14:33

systems , whether that be when

14:35

you mentioned like having your study tips

14:37

, or having your methods for studying , or

14:39

having your method to figure out mentorship

14:42

, or having your method to figure out your specialty

14:44

. So to your point . Building

14:46

this is hasn't you got to have a system

14:48

in place for this too ? And so

14:50

how can students get

14:52

involved with what

14:55

you have going on with med school , bro , right now ? What

14:57

can they do to get involved with that ?

14:59

Yeah , specifically , we offer , as I mentioned

15:01

, a discord community . Some of the highlights

15:04

we do weekly webinars every weekend

15:06

specifically , like recent ones we've done

15:08

have been on the MCAT . We partnered with

15:10

universities , so actually last week we spoke

15:13

with the University of Iowa . A couple weeks

15:15

before that we spoke with Dartmouth University

15:17

. But in terms of our service

15:19

itself , it's subscription service through our

15:21

website , which I can link actually after

15:23

this talk and students can

15:25

definitely check out more information on it from there . Fantastic

15:28

.

15:29

We'll be sure to share that information

15:31

. In order to get that information , you got

15:34

to go ahead , and if you haven't already subscribed

15:37

to BlackMedConnect , right , you got

15:39

to go to BlackMedConnect to subscribe and

15:41

comment that you want the information . So we make sure

15:43

you get it directly . And if you haven't

15:45

joined our email newsletter that we send

15:47

out every week , we'll be sure to drop that link in the

15:49

newsletter too for this week . So be

15:51

sure to go to bemedconnectcom

15:54

to join the newsletter and we'll be sure to

15:56

get you in touch with the med school bros and

15:58

what they're doing . So I love what you're doing

16:00

and I would love to know , from your perspective

16:02

, where do you see this going in

16:04

the next couple of years and how are you thinking

16:06

about what you have going now

16:08

with balancing the transition to becoming

16:11

an intern and starting in your ophthalmology

16:13

residency ?

16:14

Yeah , I think . To answer the second happy

16:16

question first , that's definitely something

16:18

we've been thinking about because , of course , similar

16:22

to how I was describing , like taking

16:24

things one step at a time and thinking about the thing

16:26

that's immediately in front of you , to be completely

16:28

honest , like the priority is to

16:30

be a good intern , to be a good ophthalmology resident

16:33

, to be succeed in that

16:35

. That's my main priority . That's

16:37

like what I'm trained to do . But

16:39

, in terms of how this will continue , we

16:42

have students that have been

16:44

in the community , as well as other classmates

16:46

at our medical school that are able to kind of handle

16:48

a lot of the responsibilities

16:50

that I've been handling , so that my

16:53

participation won't be as much as

16:55

time intensive moving forward

16:57

. And then , where do I see this in

16:59

a few years ? So I think we're

17:02

growing in a great direction by partnering

17:04

with universities . Speaking with clubs

17:06

, I hope that in the future we

17:08

have representation on a lot of

17:11

the campuses here in

17:13

the United States and medical schools . We

17:15

have students in there from many

17:18

universities UCLA , uva , george

17:20

Washington , there's

17:22

just a name of few but all across the country . So

17:24

I see it being

17:27

a prominent thing on campuses

17:29

when students are looking for , as I mentioned

17:31

those peer mentors that they need on

17:33

like an on-demand basis .

17:36

I love that . I love that . So

17:38

if you haven't , and if you are trying to figure out your way

17:40

to medical school , you've got

17:42

to go to this resource to

17:44

check out the Med School Bros and what they're doing

17:47

to make sure you can be successful along

17:49

your journey . So I appreciate you sharing

17:51

more about your entrepreneurial endeavor and

17:54

I commend you for not

17:56

only being awesome and getting

17:59

to the stage where you are now . It's not

18:01

easy . So many people don't realize

18:03

that again , ophthalmology is extremely competitive

18:05

, so you've had to do amazing things , and

18:07

to still want to give back and still help

18:09

the next generation is something that's extremely

18:12

important , and so I appreciate all the efforts

18:14

that you're putting in to do that .

18:16

Thank you so much For sure

18:18

.

18:19

All right , so we are going to jump into

18:21

the next part , which is the very

18:23

cool bolus round that we like to do

18:26

. And for those who don't know

18:28

, a bolus is when we give

18:30

a patient fluids pretty quickly

18:32

because there may have been a reason why

18:34

either they're losing blood or they may be very

18:36

sick and so they need to get fluids quickly

18:39

. And that's what we do when we give a bolus

18:41

in the emergency room or elsewhere in the hospital

18:43

. And so this is our rapid-fire

18:46

Q&A round . And so , callan

18:48

, I'm going to ask you some questions and you

18:50

can answer however you'd like , and

18:53

, if you're ready , we're going to jump right in

18:55

.

18:56

Sure , let's do it .

18:58

All right , All right . So if you

19:00

had to eat three foods for

19:02

one month , only three . What

19:05

would those foods be ?

19:06

Okay , I need a type of fruit

19:08

, so I'm going to go with clementines

19:11

. I like clementines . I have them as a snack all the time

19:13

. For us Sudanese people , we eat

19:15

a lot of rice and chicken-based foods

19:18

, so I'm going to go with a protein

19:20

rice chicken type dish , and

19:23

then we have this bean-based

19:25

dish that is called Ful

19:28

. That's our national dish , so I'm going to go

19:30

with those three things .

19:32

Oh , that's amazing . Tell me what's in that dish ?

19:35

It's literally , I think , they're fava beans

19:37

and then there's some oil

19:39

and then you eat it with bread and

19:42

they're usually served with breakfast . They're

19:44

usually served breakfast , lunch and dinner in Sudan .

19:47

Very cool . I love that , all

19:50

right . So we got you three foods . Now

19:52

my next question is if you

19:54

had to choose between a vacation

19:56

that's warm or you had

19:58

to choose a vacation that's cold

20:01

, which would you choose , and where would

20:03

your destination be ?

20:05

I would say absolutely a warm destination

20:07

. So even though my family is from Sudan

20:09

, I grew up in Wisconsin . It's incredibly

20:12

cold , like negative 20 sometimes in

20:14

the winter . Even it's like there's

20:16

, it's pretty but like I still prefer

20:19

, I prefer the warm . If I could go

20:21

anywhere warm growing

20:23

up it would be Sudan , but recently I've

20:26

actually been to Egypt

20:28

. I've been to Cairo . Egypt it's

20:30

like a really really I enjoyed

20:32

a lot and the thing about Egypt there's actually a

20:35

lot of other cities that are

20:37

really pretty in Egypt too that people

20:39

may not necessarily go to .

20:41

That's amazing . That's amazing . What other cities

20:43

should people check out ?

20:44

Yeah , there's one in particular . It's called

20:46

Ergada . It's in the southeast

20:49

, it's a beautiful city , it's like

20:51

on the water , and then it's

20:53

also about three hours

20:55

from Luxor , which is where , like

20:57

the Valley of the Kings , a lot of the

21:00

famous like archaeological structures

21:02

are too .

21:04

Very neat . I would . I definitely have

21:06

Egypt on my list .

21:07

Yeah , it's a beautiful country , places to go , places

21:10

to go .

21:10

That's fantastic , all right , so we know

21:12

that you would go to Egypt and

21:15

Cairo and Ergada , and what was

21:17

the other place ?

21:17

Luxor .

21:18

Luxor . Okay , we've got those

21:21

. We know your destinations . Now

21:23

, if I had to ask you if

21:25

you wanted to buy , if you had a million

21:27

dollars and you were gonna buy a new mode

21:30

of transportation , what would you buy and why

21:32

?

21:32

A new mode of transportation , I would

21:34

say yeah , yeah , no , I

21:37

would . I would default to a car , I

21:40

think . I think a million dollars is

21:42

a lot for a car . I don't know like it'd

21:44

be a pretty , pretty fancy car , but

21:47

I would . I think I think the reason

21:49

I say car is because I'm the type of person like

21:51

when I get a gift , I want something that I could use

21:53

on a daily basis , like a new

21:55

laptop or like something

21:57

that I'm using all the time . So I

21:59

would say like , even though there are other things I could

22:01

get , a car I know I would use on a daily

22:04

basis .

22:05

I love that . Fair enough , you can share the rest

22:07

of the wealth with others . What

22:11

type of car would you get ?

22:12

Oh man , I'm not even

22:14

into fancy cars like that . I would get something , probably

22:17

really basic , like a , like a Tesla or something

22:19

, but I know that's only like I'd have like

22:21

$950,000 left

22:24

.

22:25

Fair enough . Fair enough , you could use that money a lot

22:27

of different ways . Then

22:30

my last question is gonna be if

22:32

you could well , it's not really a question

22:34

, I take that If you could rep

22:36

your organization , any organization you want

22:38

I have a feeling I know what you're gonna say

22:41

Share a little bit more and tell us what

22:43

you would rep him and and how people can

22:45

check you out . One more time .

22:46

Yeah , lastly , so we mentioned a bit

22:49

earlier , but thankful to to

22:51

have been working with the med school

22:53

bro brand to create our our discord

22:55

community . That's , that's exactly

22:57

what I'm representing today . If you'd

22:59

like to check us out , as Dr Weiss mentioned

23:02

, it'll be on the newsletter , but specifically

23:04

it'll send you to our website , where we have a lot more

23:06

information outlined onto some

23:08

of the features of our discord . And

23:11

, yeah , just the one last plug for

23:13

it . The whole point of creating

23:15

it was that it's a much more affordable

23:18

service versus going to like a

23:21

major corporation and paying thousands

23:23

of dollars .

23:25

Excellent , excellent . So if you're looking for

23:27

that affordable way to make sure you can

23:29

ace the exam and get ready for

23:31

med school , then that is the platform

23:34

for you guys to check out , and

23:36
