It wouldn’t be too long of a video haha- I have gravitated towards cardiology and I always liked procedural medicine. I was going to shadow a cardio thoracic surgeon but then I got accepted to school which started early- So hopefully I’ll be able to do it sometime soon:) The heart is the most fascinating organ to me and I would love to be more involved in its function and repair😊
For anatomy, I managed to put each lecture on a single piece of printer paper - it forced me to really summarize the material in a way that worked for me and organize it in a way that made sense for me. For MSK I was able to have only one side for the most part, but abdominal was often both sides. But it really helped me with the material. (Now a fourth yr and hate anki) I also used Quizlet cause that was more user friendly and just made a schedule as to when to review the entire deck specifically
That’s impressive! I honestly don’t know if I’d be able to summarize everything as well as you did, especially right now when I’m still getting used to the amount of information, what to study, and how to study. Hopefully I’ll get to the point of comfort with where you are now. Having our first cumulative exam in a couple weeks! I know some people in my class that also hate anki but swear by quizlet. So if anki doesn’t work out, I’ll try quizlet out next🙂
That’s awesome that you found someone to mentor you! 🥳 I’m still trying to find one at the hospital I’m volunteering at, but the docs are always on the go so it’s hard to make small talk with them! And the material coming back-my A&P professor told me from the start that I should try to learn and study the material to retain it for the MCAT instead of just focusing on passing the exams and the course. I have found it easier to start retaining the concepts and building on them as I go further into the courses even though it’s a lot of info to study! 😵💫
Yeah I love having a good mentor, makes life so much easier:) haha yeah they are always on their feet, try approaching them on a slower day. I promise a lot of them would love to talk to you and give you advice. That’s definitely the right mindset, and it will make school so much easier later 🙂
I’m not sure if I missed it in a previous video but what made you decide to stop using anki? And can you do a video on how you study now? Keep up the good work! 🥰
Thank you! Anki cards took a lot of time to make and I started falling behind, so I’m trying to use anking (pre made cards) now instead. Would love to make a video on how I study, but it keeps changing week to week, as I am still trying to figure out the best way. So maybe I’ll make a study video at the end of the semester when I have a better idea🙂
Do you have any student loans?
Would you be able to make a video on why you want to go into Cardiothoracic surgery?
