I remember in 1st and 2nd year when I was sitting in the library studying from 8 am to 10 pm trying to get it all down.
Now, heading into my 4th year, I can understand a topic in 10-15 mins. It's so reassuring watching someone who went through the same struggles as I did and coming out on top.
Thanks Dr. Webb!
Absolutely! Everybody struggles going through the years so yes, you are not alone:) Thanks for sharing!
Shamir Qureshi
Wow you guys are awesome
How many hours you used to study in 4th or 5th year ❤️?
@@mohjrh791 The most important advice I could give for the clinical years is to be consistent! You might not have as much idle time, but the time you do have is important: )
Also, try not to dwell on negative comments from peers or attendings. Take their suggestions in the best possible way, and move on!
Last thing: Try to be kind to people! Focus on what you have to do, and don't allow others to get in your way, but don't sacrifice relationships (family and friends) in order to do that!
Hope that helps:)
Good luck!
NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE! Some of my classmates would tell me that I'm crazy when I tell them I study around 8 hours a day and say I'm wasting my time... I always have treated it like a full time job... I'm so thankful someone as successful as yourself proves that success in school takes A LOT of studying time and now I don't feel crazy lol, thank you for these videos and everything you do!!
Thank u again Dr. Webb. You have been a source of motivation to all of us as med students believe me. I appreciate your time and effort giving us tips to become successful.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Dr. Webb, not sure if you've addressed this in other videos, did you ever feel depressed in med school because you had to study so much? Did you ever feel annoyed because you couldn't go out as much?
Are u still alive?
@@Theprofessionalsurgeon good to know I’m not the only one watching this recently o;
you are a great youtuber and post almost all the videos that I think of as a question, Thank you Dr. Webb
Good stuff! Thanks for watching! Let me know of any other ideas you would like me to talk about or ways to improve the channel!
Your brain is just amazing Dr.Webb , thank you for sharing this awesome tips 😊
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Wow that study routine is impressive. I guess that’s what you need to get into orthopedic surgery.
Thx bro! Yeah people who matched into the top specialties def did something similar
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. Np, props for your work ethic!
Bro thats alot i am a 3rd year med stu .. and i only study 3hrs a day (only for lecs, no research or assignments) and before the exam i do 10 hrs studies , and im pretty sure im on the top 30 of my batch .. 12-18 hrs everyday is just tremendous amount of time for lectures
wow , his study time daily is 8 hours per day according to video that is very low, at least in asia. if you study 8 hours per day u will not make it even near to medicine.
GeNiUS A ...everyone’s different. Maybe what you do in 3 hours he does in 1 hr.
Thanks for the advice Dr. Webb! Have a good one!
Thanks!
18 hours?! , so you want to tell me that if you just wasted 1 hour for doing anything, and i mean anything at all, you would have gotten 5 hours of sleep max?! No human can do that for an extended period of time
I know a lot of people that did similar. We had month exams, ours were on Saturday mornings at 7am, Sunday we would start from 6:00am - 11:00am, 11:00-12:00 1 person made us all breakfast while the others studied and we ate usually 12-12:30 back to studying til 4:00 another person made food while others studied (not the same as the one who cook breakfast) til 5:00 and we finished around 530, then at 11:00 and ate at 12:30. We slept after eatting and repeated. My roommates kept studying while around I'd fall asleep.
The human body adapts, during internship my brother had ABC schedule, he was B, so A day he had to do 16 hours, 7am-11pm, B day was 7am-7am and C day was 7am-5pm. Saturday and Sunday shifts turn of doing 24hrs were the only shift in the hospital, the other shifts took the day off meaning Saturday A day would be the only shift while B and C took off. It was a whole year of that, I was lucky they made changes when I did my internship
That's how I am. I truly have never learned from a teacher, but my school has made it a requirement.
Good stuff!
Thanks my brother for your advice and really helpful!
You are such an inspiration!
Thanks!
Thanks Dr. Webb!
No prob!
Hey! Thank you for the informative video, I really think that frequent breaks would help me absorb information better. I find that around 1h 30 min into my study time I begin to process information too slow.
I was just wondering, after your 50 minute sessions and your break, would you go back to review some of the material beforehand or would you keep going full speed forward?
Wow Dr Webb. That is what I was talking about.
Thanks!
How did you decide which classes you would study for each day? Would you precisely follow your schedule (ex: If you have 3 separate classes that day, you would divide your 18 hours by 3 and allocate each pieces to those 3 classes)?
Class schedule usually and then whatever I needed to review or didn't understand
I see you stunnin'!!! 😎👍🏾
Ha thanks! 😎😎😎
I have bipolar disorder, I’m just a simple aide but I do love what I do and I’ve been contemplating about going farther. The problem is I lack patience and sometimes from my upbringing which I’ve tried very hard to dissociate from my business life,?but sometimes it’s hard for me to keep character/professionalism due to nasty comments and attitudes from people and family members of the same people you are trying to help and please...
I’m well aware you’re not a therapist!
Thanks for the information. This is a random question but did you have steady hands prior to residency or did residency help you along the way to eventually gain efficient dexterity?
Most people have natural good hand eye coordination but we can work with others who may be lacking in that department. 😂 That's why surgery training is 6 years long
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. lol okay thanks
Lol no prob!
Dr. Webb I am very passionate in the field of medicine. Your videos for me are very inspirational. I am in Canada and wish to attend a Canadian medical school. Any advice. Thank you.
Don't know too much about Canadian schools but would be happy to answer questions about US schools
Im in a master's program right now and my average is about 8-9 hours a day after a 3 hour class (6 hours if I have two classes). Gotta bump it up 😤
ha, still good though! Thats awesome! Keep up the good work!
got me a 90 on my cell and molec bio test and we'll see how it affects biochem today!
Any advice to individuals that have mental limiting road blocks? I'd like to pursue something in healthcare (medicine, dental, optometry etc...), but I feel like I am mentally incapable of focusing / being disciplined / lack the mental energy to accomplish something of such caliber as described in this video. My main issue is being mentally tired / fatigued, which brings out those issues described above surface...
Also, I feel like I wouldn't be able to handle the stress, and i'd be all over the place. Thank you for your time :)...
Eat whole plant vegan foods only..exercise..sleep for 8 hours daily..hydrate...take mini breaks by promodo method and use quizzes and practise q
Medications ???
Erin Norwood I think it is sleep apnea for me.
@@IP1995IP oh ok. As someone with mental health challenges, the wording reminded me of ADHD, add, and other things which can all be treated or managed with meds
But even with that, I would see your doctor, explain things, and see if they can recommend a treatment :)
I feel sleepy 😭 I need more coffee to stay awake.
If he didn't have such a structured routine with (kind of) frequent breaks I would seriously doubt the validity and efficacy of his claims.
How did you make friends or meet people if you didn't go to class?
Great strategy to study, can you interview a female doctor that had small children in medical school.
Dr.Webb what study tips would you give to a student in pharmacology??
You didn’t even mention eating dinner! Did you follow such s strenuous schedule every day? Or were some days less intense than others? What
About weekends?
Fellow surgeon here , i would fast and do OMAD during studies before it was even popular lol.
How do you remember all that information? I downloaded an app with medical terminology and got through approx 40 terms and could barely recall a term I studied that I didn't know before.
I suggest making them into flash cards on quizlet. Repetition is the key.
For the record, you look like a social guy. Cool Doctor. Also do you watch "the resident"?
ha, thanks! And no I have never heard of that show
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. it’s soooo good it’s the most realist medical show
Reverted RF remember the proud doctor Austin.
So how did you do these small study intervals? With an alarm every 15 minutes or just manually by looking at the time?
Good question, I would set an alarm
Were you one of the smarted student in your med class ?
I'm taking a break. I think I had too much caffeine/sugar and may be crashing.
Question: During pre med did you take any summer classes?
and did you apply this same routine during pre med?
Yes, my path was a little different and it took me 7 years to complete college so yes I went every summer that I could and didnt use this exact routine but pretty similar
th-cam.com/video/heqW74Y6yyw/w-d-xo.html
U lowkey remind me of Dr. Turk
How many hours of sleep did you get a day, on average?
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you! I appreciate it!
This has just helped me with a very difficult class...I put in the work and greatly improved my exam score. Thanks so much!!
Awesome! Keep up the great work!
just helped...? this video was released a few hours ago. i assume you're talking about the channel in general then :P
He actually spoke about this in a video I watched weeks ago...I was so happy to hear him give more details. I had to shut out everything for weeks but it was well worth it. 😀
Thanks for being apart of the youtube family and watching the videos I put out. I appreciate it!
Definitely going to employ this schedule.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
No you're not you're just saying that
@Rajeev Vij You can say anything through a camera screen and upload it to youtube to get clicks. In reality, consistent 16- 18hrs a day studying is not physically possible if you factor in hygiene, eating, and sleep. This video is for clicks and subscribers
@JP is me daddy 💜
@@suereepmeyer6819 yeah sure buddy
I was with you until the night studying. I'm in medical school currently and DO NOT think that this is needed. 18 hours is overkill. If you put in 8-10 on weekends, and imagining a 10-5 or 10-4 lecture schedule on the weekdays, 4 hours daily. You've got 40-50 hours a week in. If you are doing 18 hours a day??? You are not getting enough sleep, you're putting yourself into a vicious circle. If you don't get that eight hours of sleep your efficency takes a massive hit. This is how I study, and can say that for Anatomy/Histology/Embryology it was enough to be consistently scoring at the top on Kaplan USMLE question banks. Do not overkill just to flex the hours, it's about efficiency. The questions at the end of the night, so that last 2-3 hours of his schedule, were probably more useful than anything else.
But yeh I listened to the video and I guess I get it. I mean after I go home from the library I also do a bit more studying. I'm basically cutting a lot of fluff away
He didn't go to most classes though so....
I graduated from one of the oldest (best?) medical schools in the country. Virtually all students attended the lectures. The faculty were very experienced and prided themselves on the quality of their presentations. Many were works of rhetorical art. Exams were almost continuous. We were top scorers in the USMLE 1&2. One of my lab partners had the single highest score in the U.S. Post doctoral programs were eager to accept our applications. Your approach clearly worked for you, but I think that, if you have great professors, you're denying yourself lifetime memories.
Thats def true! I do hear what you are saying and thats one thing I do regret is those opportunities to learn from them in person. I still listened to the recorded audio however, but its definitely not the same. Thanks for sharing and watching!
Can you do a video where you go more into detail with how you and your significant other were able to handle your schedule while you studied and worked so much?
Thx. I will look into this! She is camera shy and dosent like to be in the spotlight but I'll see what I can do lol
That’s about 14 hours not including your breaks. Unless you never get out of a chair and do not need to go eat or workout, you cannot have an 18 hour study day without insufficient rest. The closest you’ll get is 14, maybe 15 or 16 if you’re a beast and can survive off of 4 hours of sleep. You need time to workout and eat/digest or else you might lose it. This is just personal experience and I hope that people realize that 18 hours is just not sustainable (unless you’re a beast).
Thats youtube clickbaits. Or something to do once a year on finals not everyday its bs.
Well he was in the military...so I think he was just a beast.!
Dude, watch the video. He clearly explained, in DETAIL, what he did.
100% possible to use a treadmill and study at the same time
5, 5, and 2 seems practical. Thanks for everything.
No prob! Thanks for watching!
Is there a such thing as over studying in one day?
Yes. Listen to your body and if you are not being efficient or absorbing the information, you may need a break or doing too much
Good question.
Im a CEO of my company and this is good to apply for entrepreneurs also. Great video Dr. Webb.
That’s what I started doing and finally made a 4.0! I used the pomodoro, stopped studying by 8 p and focused on practice testing.
I’ve never made a 4.0 in my life!
Really can you explain to me what is the the pomodoro.
I am trying to do studying which works best morning or night?
@@jeremiahokoh420 google it. Pomodoro has several methods, like studying for 25 minutes with a 5 minute break for 3-4 hrs or studying for 50 minutes with 10 minute break.
Hardworking pay off
Thank you!
I see you dr Webb with your new shades. But thanks Dr, excellent advice. always need the insight 👍
Ha thanks!
I have a random question. You describe how it was during med school but I’m wondering how you were during high school? Did you know this is the job you wanted to do? I have just graduated from school to be an MA and now i want to advance my career
Ha I was a good student in HS and graduated with honors. I started being this discipline with my studies in college and medical school
Can't be flexing on us like that with them shades Doctor!
Study smart not hard
That is just crazy in my opinion, I believe you are not studying efficiently , I have seen many students like you studying in crazy amounts and in the end they achieve the same result as me if not worse , now I'm a high achiever in my class so getting the same grades as me is good. But I study more than him but in way less time. This is just about how much are you achieving in each session , are you wasting your time and doing some work or are you focusing in these 3-4 hours and utilizing it to the most. Second, you need to study from good resources , for example you need to find yourself a good online program similar to osmosis to teach you complicated things in a simple manner. You also need to turn your lecture notes into Anki and study them.
12-18 hours 😥😥 wow.
When do you sleep?
Dr. webber you are a huge inspiration to me, I've been watching your videos for 4 months now. Can't wait to start med school. Keep up the great videos there informational and very motivating.
No problem! Please let me know of any other videos you would like to see or any other suggestions to improve the channel! Thanks for watching!
Dr. Webb
That's actually one of the best ways to study. Congratulations on your success brother it's truly commendable and highly honorable.
No it’s not but if that works for you, fine. My wife and a lot of her med school friends cover a wide spectrum of medicine specialties and although they studied a lot they didn’t study like that.
I prefer being FM + have time for friends, passion etc ;)
(remember: it's the Erythromycin four times a day and then the single dose of Azithromycin to end the Erythromycin course, which then potentially clears the way for the Levaquin; the downshift from four times a day to once a day obviously being the tendon rupture culprit...)
Lol what's the meaning of this ?
I want to be a general surgeon but I have many mental disorders and get constant migraines almost everyday. I know it sounds stupid for me to go for something out of my reach but it is all i can think of. It's the only thing that makes me haply but it's also so strength conauming which is something i don't tjink i have any of left. I guess i just need a motivational speech.
can i apply these routine for psychology major
Absolutely! Disciplined study, spaced repetition and lots of practice questions is the key to being successful in any study program!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. thanks doc, i really desperate finding the right study routine.
Keep at it! You may have to modify it each class or semester but eventually you will get it down
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. wow thanks doc, you are more supportive than my professor.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Druing your studying periods, did u have a part time job? Did u go out with friends? Im assuming not because of how packed things were but can u let me know and so when was ur free time
i dont think you'd want to work while in med school. Usually they are Full time students
I am going to be a non traditional student but I also have young children so not sure I can do 18 hrs, may have to shave 8 hours off that. I like to study subject matters a day or so in advance prior to a lecture. My route to surgery will definitely have a few more loops.
Do you think you can make vid asking med students who are parents studying for a competitive specialty, what their study tips are? I have learned at least after completing undergrads, active recall is KEY. Studying for one hour blocks and like you reviewing the material with questions helps you remember longer and DO NOT procrastinate. Learned that the hard way. Your brain cannot long term store info that way.
:) I will be completing a post back since my background is Accounting(w/tons of math courses but hardly any science) and also 32/33 when I start med school.
That’s the plan! Lol
This gives me more motivation to study after I got a 76% on my anatomy and physiology lab exam so instead of a 90% I have an 85% 😪😭 the same goes with my microbiology lab as well. I’m doing fantastic on the lecture exams. though. I just forget sometimes about studying the labs lol.
Calla Llama
18 hours how much of that did u retain.
I remember when I was a kid I use to get the H encyclopedia & go straight to the human heart...I was about 9 years old...but I didn't have the discipline to study & apply myself in the field of cardiology, so now I'm 50 & always looking back on my pass life with a lot of regret!!!!
Im loving the shades! Hopefully im this fly once I get to residency
Ha you will! 😎
Dr Webb you rock! I'm bing watching your powerful, informative , empowered videos. Thanks again DOC 🥼⚕️🔬📚✔️✅
I decided to do the calculation and adding 50 mins plus ten mins break with one (1hr) break at lunch and (1 hr) break for the gym, you’ll get 700 minutes. This is 11.6 hours. Now I didn’t calculate times you would need to take dump, shower after the gym, eat dinner, etc.. you can not possibly study that long. Why clickbait and exaggerate how much you study. At most, I think one can study at most 12-14 hours and that’s pushing it. It’s a great video, but transparency is lacking
You should be a great role for young people.
Unless a person has started developing a really strong study habit in high school or undergrad, I don't think they will even be able to study much more than 5 hours per day, 15-18 hours is simply impossible for 99% of people.
I don't see how you couldn't develop it later in life. At least in college. I know people who didn't really take school seriously until late in college and then end up in med school. I can't speak from experience though. I developed great study habits in high school that carried me through college which got even stronger by the end to get me through med school. I think it's possible for more than the 1% of the population you mention. But I do agree that only 1% of the population actually does get to that level of dedication to studying and those are the ones you see in medical school.
Yeah I agree you can develop study skills in HS and college, in fact I barely studied in college and was eventually able to get into a doctoral therapy program, but even the best students in my therapy program weren't studying anywhere 6 hours a day during the class-week with coinciding required in-class lectures. I think you're right about the 1% and probably less than that of those who are able and dedicated enough to study that much being found within M.D. programs and especially those entering into the surgical residencies.
HermannTheGreat lol anyone from a third world country will tell you that that "stat" is a lie
A A Touché my friend, touché
You are correct. Most people who are smart enough to get into medical school didnt get to that point without have really strong study habits
Dr you prove on your own i am totally proud of you...what you achieve ..is hard work pays
Good grief, so much time. Did you work a job while in med school.
Great video once again Dr Webb. Around how long do you study now as a doctor? I guess its no where near as long as med school.
Good question! I work 60-80 hours a week so less time to study but usually I try to study for 1-2 hours after work each day
What do you think of doing a video about the different medical schools in Texas? I’m not sure how that would work but it’d be helpful to know more about all the different schools in Texas in real time.
I will look into this! Thanks for the suggestion!
How did you support yourself during medical school??
How much did you forget?
Ma ash Allah
Holy cats. I'm gonna need to watch this video over and over again after I start med school in 2 weeks. If I can put in half that time daily I'll be more than satisfied 😬
Awesome! Congrats on your acceptance and stay in touch!
Hey Dr.Webb? I understand this routine. I applied it in my preclinical years but now that I'm in clinical years, studying 18 hours a day is near impossible unless you have a weekend off. Can you shed some light on how you studied in clinical years please? I know it would vary depeding on the clerkship.
Varied by the rotation but there is usually ALOT of downtime during clinical years so def bring books, flash cards and practice questions to do during the day. On a typical clinical day, I could get in atleast 1-2 hours of studying while waiting for residents, during lunch, etc. 10-15 mins here and there add up quickly
Look at God!! Inspirational.
Thank you!
VIDEO REQUEST: PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO SECURE/MANAGE YOUR FINANCES IN MED SCHOOL.
Hi, You can check out these videos here about budgeting in medical school and working in medical school.
th-cam.com/video/MmB-uR6eNBc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/vI3jzcKnIEs/w-d-xo.html
I am not even a med student, but I am still here to hear about med students and their life. Huge respect for doctors!
Hey Dr. Webb! Could you do a video on how you study and the way you efficiently study all the material you need to know. You definitely have an incredible schedule and incredible work ethic! For me, I personally find it difficult to study on my own without the mentorship of a professor. How do you do it in order to fully grasp the material?
That’s very impressive Dr. Webb, it’s all about self discipline. I think you get the most out of studying when you get rid of all the distractions, that has always proven effective for me.
Yes, so true!
You dont need to study this much. Its counterproductive. You can finish med school with wayyy less studying. Maybe the top 3 students study this much.
Also you dont need to have a 99% score to become a good doctor. Residency is all that matters. Im sorry but this video is a clickbait
I’m surprised no one else noticed this. He says 18 hours of studying with 10 minute breaks in between each 50 minutes and 2 1-hour long breaks per day. So 18 hours + about 4 hours of break in total = 22 hours of work and breaks. So when does he sleep? Or does he only sleep for one hour a day?
I can't study for 20 minutes....😂
Stop lying
What about food
I watch your videos to get inspired and motivated to reach my goals for college! I’ve never been very studious. I am starting my prereqs for sonography Tech, watching your videos gives me the courage and helpful advice I need to succeed. Keep influencing the TH-cam community to follow goals!
No problem! Please let me know of any other videos you would like to see or any other suggestions to improve the channel! Thanks for watching!
Dr. Webb
Clown
Wow..impressive...i only studied for 3 to 5 days before exams...no matter the exam... rest of the time it was just chillin, partying, movies, dates... i guess its different for different ppl in their med schools... but for the final papers of d semesters i took like 3 weeks before d exam.. like 18 hours as well per day...
those glasses man :D
Studying 18 every single day for a long period of time? Idk if the average person can actually handle that level of stress and study efficiently after 18 hours of studying
Wow
Wow, I study the same way as you do.
The way I study is kind of strange but it works for me and may be useful for others. I'll look at a topic and then try to recall it. Then I'll move onto a second topic and then try to recall the first and second without looking. Then go to a third topic and try to recall all three. If for example, I cant recall all three, I'll look over them again and then try to successfully recall all three again. Learn about a fourth topic, then recall all four, then five and recall all five and on and on. At about this point, the first few topics you learned (e.g. topic 1-3) should be well memorized as you recalled them several times by now. By learning new topics, you can easily forget previous topics you just learned so it's important to go back and forth and try to recall all the information because this is a way you can test yourself to see whether the information is being stored or not. This method works well for pure memorization. For example, if you are in an anatomy class and learning about structures of the brain or any organ, try to study and memorize the structures first, then test yourself by covering up the structures with sticky notes and try to recall the structures over and over by hopping back and forth between them and recalling them.
In our clinical clerkship and intern year and throughout my residency, our working hours were 90-100 per week, so 18 hours studying a day is so easy compared to actual work. I work in a public hospital in a poor country so we dont even have access to a lot of technology and staff that make it easier unlike in the US or UK
I am from India and got into medical school. In our country due to high population and low number of seats in medical schools we already have to study 12-15 hrs a day to get in and that's being conservative. So how much should I study now to get a good MS or MD?
Dr. Webb, for how many months did you maintain the 6/7a-midnight schedule ? Was this for both of your pre-clinical years or during your dedicated board study time? I'm 4 months away from my first board exam, and would love to do a similar schedule. However, we have exams on average twice per week until dedicated board study which begins in April along with an attendance policy where we can't miss more than 20% of our classes(I've begun studying boards during class lately). And, being married, I want to make sure to spend time with my wife an hour or so a day. Thoughts? Thanks for being an inspiration, man.
