The full story — where I started, what I've learned, and why Brain with Kenji exists.
I'm Kenji — a junior doctor with my sights set on neurosurgery, and a firm believer that great doctors are made from more than textbooks. Somewhere between late-night Anki sessions and early hospital shifts, I realised the skills that actually change patients' lives — communication, confidence, and empathy — rarely get taught alongside medicine.
Brain with Kenji is the platform I wish I'd had: a hub of study resources, honest insights, and the soft-skills mentoring that helped me find my own footing in medicine. I built it to walk alongside you — through exams, decisions, and everything in between — on your way to becoming an exceptional doctor.
I've mentored Step 1 candidates one-on-one, tutored 70+ first-years in PBL, and built Trinity's first neurosurgical society from scratch. This is where I share what actually worked — not a polished version of it. Whether you're just starting out or coming to the end of medical school, that's what I'm here for: to educate, support, and guide you through it.
Take a look at my CVTextbook knowledge matters — but it's communication, empathy, and confidence that turn a good doctor into an exceptional one.
I share what actually worked for me — the resources, the mistakes, the timelines — not a polished highlight reel.
From CVs to Step 1 to career decisions — a bit of guidance at the right moment makes all the difference.
