@bharathmenon6358 that’s one of the hardest challenges because there’s hundreds of things anyone would rather do than study. Basically, find study material that is not super boring that you somewhat find enjoyable And take away every other enjoyable distraction out of your life (like social media, friends) so that the only fun thing to do is study.

This is obviously when you are actively trying to study. once you’re done with your dedicated studies, then allow yourself to do whatever you want. I honestly feel like it frees up time if done this way.

@brianbarrett2487 for quick review of topics that are needed to be memorized and easy to forget. Not necessarily a learning tool.

Good luck!

Happy New Year’s to you as well 💪. Glad to hear, I intentionally tried to keep this video vague so it could be applied to not just medicine but any kind of study

@@medical_muscle_greg Agreed! bro well said.

💪

Thank you 💪

For the rotation, show up early-ish, know your role as early as possible, be painfully professional, and study at least a little bit every singe day.

@ thank you Dr. Greg. Merry Christmas!

@Olamide5090 thank you, merry Christmas to you as well

Interesting question. I started as an engineer major before switching to medicine and really enjoyed physics and calculus. A straight comparison of subject to subject is probably about the same difficulty. If you were to compare the first year of med school exams to undergrad exams, it would be like taking an exam with two or three of these subjects combined together for one exam (like physics anatomy on the same exam) in terms of volume. For step 2 (last major exam before residency, about 8 hours), it would be like taking a cumulative exam on every course you took in college! The challenge of medicine is not the difficulty in the subject matter (it can sometimes be challenging and sometimes not), its the volume that makes it tough. The upside is that I enjoyed the content of medicine and all the intricacies of the human body so it was fun.

UWorld is great, you will still use those for your bulk study. NBMEs are for self assessment. You’ll try to get them in for Step 1 and Step 2 (about 3-6). During clinical rotations in year 3, you will easily do 3-6 per specialty.

@ thank you

Good question. You will get faster as time goes on because you start seeing the same topic being tested in different variations. Another key point is pacing. It is really easy to burn your self out. learn to just quickly read the question and move on, sometimes it’s not important to go into great detail because the material might be never tested again.

I agree. It has its place more with facts rather than big pictures. Good for like cancer markers or autoimmune markers but definitely does not work for big concepts like cardio.

@medical_muscle_greg Thanks alot for your opinion ❤️ The problem is alot of students in med school and I was one of them just copy and paste what we hear but we don't find what works for as and also many students think that the only way to do active recall by anki only !! I can read and recall the information by teaching other , record to myself, hand writing and scientifically this works best for memory retention because digital learning is not effective as when you write things with your hand ❤️ Sorry for this long massage 😂 Finally what is your opinion about what I said ?

Hey Justin! I have not, but I’ve heard of those types of courses and they help people

That is really awesome to hear! Best of luck, huge accomplishment

Pretty amazing! Congratulations 🎊

@@medical_muscle_greg THANK YOU MAN!!!

If you are from there, highly likely you will go there. I got my first choice without issue and I was not even from the area. The only thing that could effect options are if you have timeline issues, like start rotations later and their spot fill up. Some hospitals only let students start certain times per year while others are more flexible.

I don’t think you’d be penalized grade wise or put on your transcripts. It just depends on which exam you missed and when you were able to retake the exam. Does the delay affect your ability to proceed to the next level?

@ I’m makeing up BSCE

@@joypatel5798 If it effects timeline for taking step 1 and stating rotations, then that is a problem but not the end of the world. Just take it as a learning point to be early for every exam from now on and you should be fine.

But the email I got for make up it’s said I would be penalized a percentage of my grade after (FPAP) meets to discuss what percentage will be taken off I’m so nervous

@@joypatel5798 Well, then it is what it is. Again, it sucks but not the end of the world. 3rd year and 4th year is more important in direct specialty matching than anything else anyway. The only real issue I still see is timeline. If for some reason you are held back from the match and end up graduating, it can be a red flag for some specialties. Usually only the most competitive ones.

@@joypatel5798 for the basic sciences, term 4 was the hardest for me. I thought the volume was pretty high and a lot more new content. Volume is higher in term 5 and technically harder exams but mostly review.

@@joypatel5798 hardest year is year 3 hands down but that’s later

@@abelsetlhoka677 hey! I’m already matched into psychiatry. Currently a resident.

@ congratulations, I used to see you around campus when I was in pre med, followed you before I even got to SGU. Full circle 🙏🏽

@ awesome man! Good luck with everything

If you got the interview, then your step two score was good enough for that program

It often feels like I'm speaking out to the void and not sure if this stuff is helpful or not. Glad to hear that it is. Thanks for the comment 💪

Yes, definitely. I worked through zoom about that much in the first year

I’m not going to lie, that is a weird comment on multiple levels lol. My dad went to school to be a youth pastor. Maybe it rubbed off on me

Love this comment. So yeah, being too tired from the workouts is definitely something that you don’t want to affect your day. I honestly just stopped killing and lower body and my energy was much better. Basically stopped doing deadlifts and squats.

Did more of the essentials like Nordic leg curls and pistol squat type movements (bodyweight)

Then added things in like sled pushes, weight carries and box jumps. Felt like those weren’t as tough on the nervous system.

​@@medical_muscle_greg what are the healthy foods to keep Ur mind and body energetic after a workout? I think sleeping is the best thing to do after workout to recover, but u know "TIME FLIES".

@@UdayaniduWeerasekara Foods are going to be blood sugar stabilizers; fats, proteins, complex unprocessed carbs. Not saying this is what you should do but this is what I do and have done for a long time: 1. protein shake in the morning with a little bit of olive oil to help keep me full for longer. 2. Nice big lunch that has either fish or chicken with some type of vegetable and maybe so carbohydrates (farro, potatoes, quinoa, or rice). 3. Later part of the day I would eat some chocolate bar and nuts. I felt like the sugar in the later part of day helps to me push me little bit more. 4. Dinner is usually something more simple. Sometimes mixed vegetables with a sprinkle of cheese or greek yogurt with nuts and fruit.

😂 interesting observation

​@@medical_muscle_greg I think I'm more used to comedy popping up on my timeline than med school motivation. Haha.

@@Sadigziggi trying to bridge genres lol

Awesome, good luck

That’s just it, I encourage people to make their own cards! Helps with memory retention to put it in your own words. Although I do suggest downloading some of the premade decks for other reasons. It takes quite a long time to make these cards and the time put into making them may take away from precious review time which in the end is the most important.
