The Pros and Cons of Letting a Med Student Treat You in the ER

What happens when the person walking into your ER room isn't the doctor...it's a medical student? Having recently been a medical student myself, I've seen both sides- the good and the bad. In this video, I break down the real pros and cons of letting a medical student participate in your care—from longer conversations and patient advocacy to potential downsides like delays, inexperience, and medical mistakes. If you've ever wondered whether you'd be comfortable being treated by a medical student, this video may surprise you.

Welcome to my channel! I’m Josh Korzan, a Marine Corps veteran and medical student on my way to starting emergency medicine in July 2026. I took a non-traditional path, earning a business degree before finding my way into medicine, and along the way, I’ve discovered a love for exploring all kinds of passions. On this channel, I document my journey through medical school, share insights about emergency medicine, and offer educational content from my experiences. But I don’t stop there. I’m a Jack-of-all-trades, so you’ll also find videos on health, fitness, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, skydiving, poetry, and more. Believing in personal growth and variety, I want to inspire you to do the same. ================================= #EmergencyMedicine #ERDoctor #MedicalStudent #Medicine #Doctor #Healthcare #Hospital #MedSchool #Physician #EmergencyRoom #MedicalEducation #Residency #PatientCare #Health #DoctorLife The Pros and Cons of Letting a Med Student Treat You in the ER
