You're so right about not treating studying like a job jeopardizing results. I've been accustomed to screwing around and getting good marks, so I assumed it would work for life. Spoiler, not the case.
Recognizing this can sometimes be quite difficult and one of the biggest challenges most people have. We all have them but, because you have the insight to recognize these faults, it is more than half the battle!
Thank you, I do use UA-cam for some studying though. I just restrict it to those specific topics and take notes. I'll even set a timer on my computer almost like a challenge for myself to see how long I can stay focused. I have ADHD and sometimes it's difficult to stay focused. I learned to use a timer to stay focused because I do write. One of the things I've learned as a writer is writing sprints. We set a timer for 15 to 30 minutes to see how long we can write. Once the timer goes off, we have to stop writing. This is helpful when I study. It keeps me focused. Surprisingly, I don't get nervous either lol.
Hey man thank you. I am preparing for a really competitive medical specialty exam. Wasted 2 yrs. But this time will try to follow you. Keep doing the good work
The 25-5 apps are pretty useful for people struggling with this idea. Chunk your time, take the 5 minutes to decompress after 25min of very focused work. If it was hard material, do another cycle on active recall of what you just did, ask yourself why something is happening, and recycle. I tell people who ask me about my success, stop highlighting notes. Honestly, the people i see highlighting in medical school consistently are struggling. It gives the illusion of studying, but its not. Its essentially useless from my experience and perspective. Great video, as always!
I completely agree. Highlighting does very little because to be honest, reading can be boring! I always preferred video resources with good commentary. Makes the process a little more interesting. Good observation!
I really needed this 👍my farther is a doc too, i always wonder how he had so much discipline to study. He was born to a very poor family, during the civil war, during the insurrection 💀 and still manage to become a doctor. U earned a sub =) please do more vedios regarding study techniques
Hi, this was such a great video. Such great advice. I'm in medical school and I really need to become "undistractable" like you said. Love your shirt btw, it really compliments your eyes. 🙂 I'm excited to watch more of your videos.
Your channel is giving me hope. Currently waiting to hear if I got accepted into SGU. Everything else is good minus my low MCAT score. But once I get in, I’m not playing around. I know I can become a doctor and match into residency.
Interesting question. Most students go straight through but it is normal to have a few extra years in college or graduate college and then go to medicine after.
@@medical_muscle_greg What do you recommend honestly, because I need help choosing what to do right now. Are you saying you can go to medicine school right after college? or university then med school. what did u do?
@@KEHINDEOLAWOYIN-u8l sorry let me clarify, you have to graduate university to go straight into medical school. You could do two years of college than two years in a university, that's fine too. I actually went to a junior college for a few years trying to figure out what I want to do before finishing my last two years at a university. Just make sure that you're taking all the prerequisites to get into medical school, do well on the MCAT, ace basically every single class and you should be good
Hi, I’m Yara, a first-year medical student in the pre-clinical phase. You've inspired me, and I really want to stick to all the advice you’ve given, but I have a question. Will medicine in the foundational years be easy to understand and not as complicated as engineering? Will these days pass by quickly? I really need some reassurance from you. 😖
Hey Yara. I need to make a video on this because it seems to be a recurring question: How hard will the first term be. From talking to people from different backgrounds (law, nursing, military and engineering) med school is the toughest. I don’t want to scare you because it was a great experience and did better than I would have thought. Each piece of information is not very challenging to understand and can be very interesting. The reason it is one of the hardest levels of education is the VOLUME. There is a lot of material EVERY SINGLE DAY. But, some of it is also easy to understand so that is the positive. The best gauge is how will are you at time management and handling high levels of work. If you were a person who gets the work done early and is consistent every single day, even just a little bit. You'll do very well. People who have any level procrastination even just a little bit and still ace courses usually struggle in medical school because it isn't possible to keep up if you are not studying basically every day. So as long as you absolutely love the material and are consistent on your studying, regardless of how boring and difficult it may get, you will do just fine! Best of luck 💪
this insane validation because ive totally been thinking about treating med school like a job
Best way to look at it!
I'm a 16-year-old with extremely ambitious goals and I really needed this video, thank you sir!
You got it! Tons of time for huge successes

That is excellent! Yeah, if you have a system that works than stick with it
I need this wake-up call I want to be above the average to achieve what I want to achieve

Super helpful and inspiring 🫡
I agree, I will build a habit like you did to keep this always in my life ❤

Great! Will make more on the topic

You got it!
Why not retake and go to med school i the states ?

You have just spawned on my feed at the right time. Just the semester started, and I am already behind 3,4 lectures.

Of course 💪
Super Advice thanks man.
Glad it was helpful
@@medical_muscle_greg 100% helpfull.
Needed this, thanks bro.
Glad I could help
Great video!
Since I started watching you I also started considering psychiatry.
Could you do an update video on how your residency has been so far?
I have many videos on residency that are in processing now! Will upload soon 💪
To go to medical school, did u go to college or university right after high school? what is the best advice?
