Things I ve learned from this video regarding the skills of increasing my productivity 1. Frequent change of the way I study , place etc. 2. Finding a study mate, discuss topics, study together with someone highly focused on her work. 3.Take care of your Body( by exercising, getting nutritois food & sleep) and mind( meditate,pray , do Yoga etc). 4. Gamefying your study by for eg rewarding yourself when you achieve small targets etc. Thanks for this video
Fellow medical student here! Thank you for this, just the other day I was thinking of ways to switch up my study routine because second year is such a huge shift from first year! 😅
Thank for the helpful tips. I am in nursing school and will follow these strategies to enhance my success. Eventually in the near future I want to transition to medicine.
The problem is that I don’t consider Campus as studying hours, because I’m not actively putting in the info. The knowledge isn’t gained until I sit and memorize this info. I can barely put extra hour blocks around campus during the day so it feels like a marathon and I’m slowly losing this race while being burnt out on weekends. Makes me so stressed even more so it’s kinda messed up :). If you have a video about how to get out of burnout, it’d be helpful. And hopefully I be able to keep up with this…
I’m sorry that it feels like you’ve been playing catch up in a never ending race! Really trying to fill your cup with rest and activities that fulfill you (exercise, time with loved ones, etc.) really help bring you out of burnout. And then hopefully you’ll be less stressed and able to learn while on campus so your studying at home is less so playing catch up and more so just fine tuning!
I have a question doc, I'm your junior from India currently in grade 12, Im really proud of seeing your journey from medschool to Mayo Ortho. I would be giving my USMLE in med school, is it even possible for IMGs to get something like what you've got I mean top branch at top institute, I dont care about the competition, I know Ill work hard but good step scores and CV, (research,LORS,electives etc) . But are the top institutions even open for us foreigners? Thanks a lot doc, I admire you to the fullest.
Hey! I’m glad you reached out with this question! Some programs are more open to IMG students than others, but there are still elite programs that take IMG students. I recommend looking at the residents at the programs and in the specialty that you are interested in and seeing if there are any IMGs
Noooo not the clash royale comparison 🤣 I was addicted to that game back when level 13 was max haha now it’s 15 and I can’t get back into it cause I’m too far behind
Hi, thanks for sharing. I enjoying watching all your vids. Would you be open to allowing a undergrad student shadow you? I go to the UofM in rochester and do work within Mayo. I aspire to be a med student at Mayo in the future and it would be amazing to be be able to see what its like or any more advice you may have. If not, I totally understand. Hope you continue to excel within you last year!
Thank you❤. I really needed this video! I’m in my 2nd semester and am trying to find new ways to study to stay focused and be more efficient. How often are you studying in groups?
I’m so happy this was a timely video for you! But it really depends on what I’m learning. If it’s something I feel very confident in, I may study more alone, but if it’s something where my colleagues have more experience/understanding, I find I end up learning better with them!
Very helpful tips! Was wondering if you can help with a situation though …so I’m a junior in undergrad as a premed and I took trig and calculus as a math req because my advisor said it would be helpful for me… finding out late that statistics is one of the most required classes in premed i really don’t know what to do at this point cause my class schedule for the next year is insane! So what do you recommend…. Should I take stats under any condition or my calc can override that requirement and i should be good ? Thanks a lot!
I’m using the Apple Studio Display which is probably overkill for most people lol. But I was using a 32” Samsung curved monitor throughout all of medical school which was great and much more affordable
Thanks for the helpful tips, Dr. Smith! I am an IMG from Bologna Italy. What is your take on the quote-unquote "Holy trinity of US meds"(Adderall, Melatonin, and Zoloft)? Do you mind sharing with me the list of stuff you used for the theory while studying for Steps 1 and 2?

It’s a huge shift! I hope this video helps! 🙏🏽

Great video Doc! Love your content!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
You are a fantastic role model! Thank you for the study tips. Quizlet is my go-to for gamifying learning!
It’s my pleasure! And I’m glad you found the tool that works best for you!
I have a fast memory and speed read. Never do more than 3 to 4 hrs a day in med school
Thumbnail should've just been your dog 😂
Lowkey might have to change it bro 😂😂

noooo not the anki streak
I know 😭. It was very painful to let it go, but it was for the best lol. I’ll definitely talk more about it in a future video 😌
i really think that everybody is diferent in my opinion study by goals instead of hours is better but thats my opinion
That’s a great take and I agree that everyone is different and should cater their studying to their personal goals!

Good luck!! 🙏🏽

I had to put myself on blast 😂. And I feel you! It’s definitely a tough climb to level 15 after those updates! Lol

I think you’re at 5am-6pm.
True, that is what my typical day looks like. But thankfully there are a few breaks for traveling to and from campus and having lunch lol.
@@EvolvingMedic so you study only 2 hours in the morning and others include - during the college/clinic?
Hey brotha, what kind of computer monitor you using?
I’m using the Apple Studio Display which is probably overkill for most people lol. But I was using a 32” Samsung curved monitor throughout all of medical school which was great and much more affordable

Another strategy is to convince yourself you have ADHD, tell a doctor and take some stimulants
That may not be the best strategy in the long run 😅
