      Good question! If you’re studying medicine, the best way to learn pathology and physiology is to develop charts that breaks down conditions based on their clinical features. Obtaining knowledge about these clinical features comes from doing practice questions if you’re preparing for the USMLE/COMLEX board exams. If not, you will need to read resources that either your school has given or do some reading that covers all the stuff in the syllabus. If you’re reading stuff, only break down your charts to include high yield information - pathophysiological processes, buzz words, key symptoms, etc. from there you will need to revisit this several times to develop a mental picture of where everything is and UNDERSTAND everything in a broader CONTEXT. Not necessarily memorizing the words on a page

      If you want to, but UW covers all of the high yield information which is why it’s considered by many as the gold standard

      All of pathoma was read a few times (no actual number I could tell you). I will say that re-read pathoma Ch 1-3 a couple days before your Test Day so it stays fresh

      No. Figure out how to do well in your classes, and not so much on a nationwide standardized test. Otherwise you’ll burn out

    Hi
    Can you please explain how you did everything in prededicated within just 3 weeks how much time did you spend on 1 subject and do you forget stuff easily and you did everything 4 times how is that possible in 3 weeks pre dedicated

    • @StudentDrShak
      @StudentDrShak  2 місяці тому

      I spent two of the three weeks doing all of the content from my first year of med school - cardio, pulm, neuro, MSK, and basic sciences (biochem, genetics, etc). The other week was sketchy and pathoma reading, and the other stuff I mentioned I did in the video. I had a good foundation from my second year of med school - GI, renal, repro, hem/onc, endocrine. So I didn’t spend much time doing those and made charts later when I had more free time

    How about reading actual medical textbooks like Robbins and Guyton & Hall for pathology and Physiology respectively? You people are just passing the exam by Memorizing the guidebooks and on the shoulder of Behavioral. That's why medical science is still there where it was 1000 years ago. When are you going to read and learn from the textbook and encourage to read the Books? That's why they say, medical students have no depth of knowledge. Go read the textbooks first then memorize the guidebooks.

    • @StudentDrShak
      @StudentDrShak  3 місяці тому +3

      Great point. But reading a bunch of books that talks about medicine is not enough to pass Step 1. Preparing for Step 1 (and COMLEX 1) requires a specific mindset and conditioning - something that takes A LOT of practice. Your learning, then, doesn't come from just reading textbooks but more so from practice questions.

    • @godsmagic9656
      @godsmagic9656 3 місяці тому

      @@StudentDrShak Not all the books, but Pathology and Physiology are the two must-read textbooks and doing practice questions. If someone can master those two or maybe the Robbins only, then that person won't miss a single point in pathology on the exam. Pathology is 44-52% and phys 25-32% of the exam. Also, they will be able to solve all the questions from Uworld not like learning from it once again and not wondering where they (Uworld) get that question from. I wouldn't say I liked Pathoma because it didn't satisfy my need for pathology. It helps somewhat for covering the pathology to pass only with the great help of Psych + Behavioral because you see there is a large portion of evidence-based medicine in step 1. You should suggest memorizing and mastering the whole Robbins to secure more than 44% of the exam first because they can't ask anything outside of that textbook even if they want to. The students can lock that score safely and that will decrease the test-taking anxiety. I have seen, that most students don't even know the names of the books for medical school curriculum that are issued by DOE (Department of Education). The best strategy for step 1 would be to secure 100% of that 44-52%, then the students only have to manage 20% from other disciplines. I never read First Aid, I tried but I couldn't. It's a great index book for blind memorizers like the .... okay I will stop now.
      By the way, Robbins and Guyton and Hall don't talk about medicine, they are for the basic science. Harrison's textbook of Medicine talks about Medicine but that is after passing step 1 and for step 2 + residency.
      My brother, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for my comment and tone. I also apologize for my first comment as well. I realize it was not nice of me. In real life I am a different person, I am a very down-to-earth person. So, please forgive me if I have offended you.
