Summary: Episode 98: Learn about the coming MOBILE version of the MMC, plus Dr. Dan outlines the 7 Stages of a Medical Career in Development.<br> <a href="http://medical-mastermind-community.com/uploads/Seven-Career-Stages-and-MMC-Mobile-updates.pdf">Seven Career Stages and MMC Mobile updates</a> TRANSCRIPT<br> This episode is about the Seven Career Stages being in the palm of your hand. That’s right whether you’re listening to this on your phone, a tablet or a computer, more and more technology in web traffic is going mobile. It is expected that mobile devices will overtake desktop and laptop computers in the next year in terms of traffic and usage.<br> The Medical Mastermind Community has been putting at this podcast for over five years and has always positioned itself as a podcast. I’m not trying to ever replace USMLE or MCAT type of audio materials or full courses that would compete with your own medical school, that’s ridiculous. There are big courses out there that you can take such as Kaplan or Princeton Review to help supplement your material if you want a sit down course to review stuff. Most people don’t have time with that.<br> We’ve been focusing on podcast that can help you squeeze in some extra study time while you’re washing the dishes, or jogging, or taking a dog for a walk, et cetera. I particularly listen to podcast when I’m traveling. We are going mobile folks. Right now, I’m in the process of converting everything mobile. When the website first launched five years ago, believe it or not it was state-of-the-art at that time, but the state-of-the-art changes so fast. We got lucky that all of the MP3 audio podcast were already using a tool that happens to still be valid as a mobile, playable device, so from Android, Apple, iPhones, tablets, PCs and Mac, et cetera, you can click on the audio podcast play button and it will work on all those devices.<br> We’re expecting this year 2014, to reach a total of one million podcast downloads. We’ve had about 30 or 40,000 people listened to the podcast which is about 20% of the market by my math out there in at least premedical realm and in the medical school. We’ve had about five or 10% of those joined the Medical Mastermind Community at one point or another.<br> The majority of those memberships had been free memberships that we’ve donated in the exchange for people filling out surveys over the years that have been used to conduct pure review research and are in the process of being submitted and edited for journals. These research projects have to do with getting accepted in a medical school and residency, the percentages, MCAT scores and et cetera.<br> Today’s podcast ties right in with the way this new mobile friendly Medical Mastermind Community website is being reorganized. I like to study everything. My research experience has changed the way I think in a lot of ways, changed who I am as a person when the scientific method really overtake you and changes who you are and how you think. That’s happened to me. We have surveyed people on what they wanted on the website, how they want the podcast; if it was mobile friendly, would they use it more often, et cetera, et cetera.<br> What you may not know is that there are over 100 videos on the Medical Mastermind Community website that train you about every aspect of the medical education process, 12-year journey, on one website. Those are all inside the paid community, so you have to have pay … a membership to access those, but unfortunately, those videos that I was uploading using state-of-the-art best practices in the last three to five years are no longer mobile friendly. I’ve got them hosted on Amazon web server which is state-of-the-art and playability in the speed at which it plays when you click on the play button. That’s what you care about, the loading time and the buffering time.<br> Amazon website was supposedly the best. The problem is they did not support mobile friendly versions and there are s...
