How to study in medschool

im not telling you im asking pls tell me how to

ok ive tried EVERYTHING ok

after spending two years ive analysed my growth curve which has more or less been going downhill since high school

usually I’m able to pick up my pieces and fix my grades soon enough but mate its been two years how is it still this bad

to be fair first year was online and that was absolutely disgusting I hate doing online exams took me a year to figure out how to do them

and last semester was the first time we had in person so it was like ok I got to figure them out

so this time I had a legit game plan to do amazing

AND I HAVE NOTES FOR EVERYTHING AND FELT SO PREPARED UNTIL THE WEEK BEFORE THE EXAM like why bro what is this 

so I am tucking away my pride and making a new game plan despite the fact this is exactly what I said last semester

I’m going to study every.single.fucking.day. like. EVERY DAY

the problem is I would get dejected for not completing revision of the lecture on that day you know e.g we’d have 3-4 lecs in a day and I’d try to be so thorough with trying to make notes that I’d get sleepy/hungry/not in the mood 

I would hand-write notes and make mind maps 

but obv without spaced repitition I would forget

which makes you think duh why didnt you do anki

I FREAKING DID OK AND MAKING THOSE TAKES 5 YEARS TOO 

so in conclusion I made notes and they did not help even though I started my revision earlier

thereFORE:

I propose:

DAILY:

- making anki as a group so we save TIME

- answer the learning outcomes for lecture revision and to clear any doubts

- 5 main points to take away from the lecture hand written summary page

- read the goddamn textbook and lecture slides before the class

WEEKLY:

- we have to make it varied to keep it interesting so I suggest do anki but also make drawings and mindmaps 

MONTHLY:

- Add the learning outcomes and explanations to a MASTER DOCUMENT FOR REVISION CHECKLIST

+ get subscriptions for amboss? sketchy? pathoma?

+ mnemonics etc to help remember things

+ read papers

They found a cause for SIDS!

unrelated but pretty much related because im in MEDSCHOOL

cant believe I found this first on twitter LMAO but I think its really cool they found a cause for SIDS - something that literally stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome that had no definitive cause so there was no way to know why an infant would pass away in their sleep. Researchers found that it may be due to an enzyme (Butyrylcholinesterase) that is deficient in SIDS patients which prevents them from waking up to external stimuli which would otherwise be harmful for them - i.e waking up from overheating blanket 

But at the moment is it really just a cause or is it also correlation? It shows causative relationship in the population but not as much in the individual - so more research needs to go into the extent of role played by the enzyme in causing SIDS and how it can be used as a diagnostic tool because at the moment it is not a very accurate biomarker
