18 Hour Study days in Medical School: What it took to be successful!

[@TheLion377]

I remember in 1st and 2nd year when I was sitting in the library studying from 8 am to 10 pm trying to get it all down. Now, heading into my 4th year, I can understand a topic in 10-15 mins. It's so reassuring watching someone who went through the same struggles as I did and coming out on top. Thanks Dr. Webb!

[@mohjrh791]

How many hours you used to study in 4th or 5th year ❤️?

[@TheLion377]

@@mohjrh791 The most important advice I could give for the clinical years is to be consistent! You might not have as much idle time, but the time you do have is important: ) Also, try not to dwell on negative comments from peers or attendings. Take their suggestions in the best possible way, and move on! Last thing: Try to be kind to people! Focus on what you have to do, and don't allow others to get in your way, but don't sacrifice relationships (family and friends) in order to do that! Hope that helps:) Good luck!

I graduated from one of the oldest (best?) medical schools in the country. Virtually all students attended the lectures. The faculty were very experienced and prided themselves on the quality of their presentations. Many were works of rhetorical art. Exams were almost continuous. We were top scorers in the USMLE 1&2. One of my lab partners had the single highest score in the U.S. Post doctoral programs were eager to accept our applications. Your approach clearly worked for you, but I think that, if you have great professors, you're denying yourself lifetime memories.

[@kevindubrow8293]

I was with you until the night studying. I'm in medical school currently and DO NOT think that this is needed. 18 hours is overkill. If you put in 8-10 on weekends, and imagining a 10-5 or 10-4 lecture schedule on the weekdays, 4 hours daily. You've got 40-50 hours a week in. If you are doing 18 hours a day??? You are not getting enough sleep, you're putting yourself into a vicious circle. If you don't get that eight hours of sleep your efficency takes a massive hit. This is how I study, and can say that for Anatomy/Histology/Embryology it was enough to be consistently scoring at the top on Kaplan USMLE question banks. Do not overkill just to flex the hours, it's about efficiency. The questions at the end of the night, so that last 2-3 hours of his schedule, were probably more useful than anything else.

[@kevindubrow8293]

But yeh I listened to the video and I guess I get it. I mean after I go home from the library I also do a bit more studying. I'm basically cutting a lot of fluff away

[@ericaguilar3951]

I know a lot of people that did similar. We had month exams, ours were on Saturday mornings at 7am, Sunday we would start from 6:00am - 11:00am, 11:00-12:00 1 person made us all breakfast while the others studied and we ate usually 12-12:30 back to studying til 4:00 another person made food while others studied (not the same as the one who cook breakfast) til 5:00 and we finished around 530, then at 11:00 and ate at 12:30. We slept after eatting and repeated. My roommates kept studying while around I'd fall asleep. The human body adapts, during internship my brother had ABC schedule, he was B, so A day he had to do 16 hours, 7am-11pm, B day was 7am-7am and C day was 7am-5pm. Saturday and Sunday shifts turn of doing 24hrs were the only shift in the hospital, the other shifts took the day off meaning Saturday A day would be the only shift while B and C took off. It was a whole year of that, I was lucky they made changes when I did my internship

[@kasrarahmati7126]

That’s about 14 hours not including your breaks. Unless you never get out of a chair and do not need to go eat or workout, you cannot have an 18 hour study day without insufficient rest. The closest you’ll get is 14, maybe 15 or 16 if you’re a beast and can survive off of 4 hours of sleep. You need time to workout and eat/digest or else you might lose it. This is just personal experience and I hope that people realize that 18 hours is just not sustainable (unless you’re a beast).

You need to plan ahead what you need to study and accomplish for the day, planning is more important than studying itself. Many fail due to lack of proper planning - plan a week or two in advance of what you need to study.

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

I am going to be a non traditional student but I also have young children so not sure I can do 18 hrs, may have to shave 8 hours off that. I like to study subject matters a day or so in advance prior to a lecture. My route to surgery will definitely have a few more loops. Do you think you can make vid asking med students who are parents studying for a competitive specialty, what their study tips are? I have learned at least after completing undergrads, active recall is KEY. Studying for one hour blocks and like you reviewing the material with questions helps you remember longer and DO NOT procrastinate. Learned that the hard way. Your brain cannot long term store info that way. :) I will be completing a post back since my background is Accounting(w/tons of math courses but hardly any science) and also 32/33 when I start med school. That’s the plan! Lol

[@henziboy9]

The way I study is kind of strange but it works for me and may be useful for others. I'll look at a topic and then try to recall it. Then I'll move onto a second topic and then try to recall the first and second without looking. Then go to a third topic and try to recall all three. If for example, I cant recall all three, I'll look over them again and then try to successfully recall all three again. Learn about a fourth topic, then recall all four, then five and recall all five and on and on. At about this point, the first few topics you learned (e.g. topic 1-3) should be well memorized as you recalled them several times by now. By learning new topics, you can easily forget previous topics you just learned so it's important to go back and forth and try to recall all the information because this is a way you can test yourself to see whether the information is being stored or not. This method works well for pure memorization. For example, if you are in an anatomy class and learning about structures of the brain or any organ, try to study and memorize the structures first, then test yourself by covering up the structures with sticky notes and try to recall the structures over and over by hopping back and forth between them and recalling them.

Unless a person has started developing a really strong study habit in high school or undergrad, I don't think they will even be able to study much more than 5 hours per day, 15-18 hours is simply impossible for 99% of people.

[@hmann4531]

I don't see how you couldn't develop it later in life. At least in college. I know people who didn't really take school seriously until late in college and then end up in med school. I can't speak from experience though. I developed great study habits in high school that carried me through college which got even stronger by the end to get me through med school. I think it's possible for more than the 1% of the population you mention. But I do agree that only 1% of the population actually does get to that level of dedication to studying and those are the ones you see in medical school.

[@HermannTheGreat]

Yeah I agree you can develop study skills in HS and college, in fact I barely studied in college and was eventually able to get into a doctoral therapy program, but even the best students in my therapy program weren't studying anywhere 6 hours a day during the class-week with coinciding required in-class lectures. I think you're right about the 1% and probably less than that of those who are able and dedicated enough to study that much being found within M.D. programs and especially those entering into the surgical residencies.

Hey! Thank you for the informative video, I really think that frequent breaks would help me absorb information better.

Could you make a video regarding STEP 1 study tips? (When to start, resources, etc)

[@antoniowebbmd]

Hi, Thanks for watching and for the question! USMLE step 1 will open a lot of doors or close a lot of doors on your dreams. It's the most important test of your medical career (if you had to ask me). Most important is to do well. In order to do that, you MUST be TONS of practice questions. I believe I did over 5,000 practice questions before I took the exam. I started about 5 months out from my exam and did questions every night. The best question banks are USMLE world qbank and Kaplan. USMLE world questions are how the questions will be asked on the exam (very similar format) and Kaplan will help you get all the details down. There are also NBME exams which you can purchase which are most predictive of your actual score. To be competitive I would shoot for 240+. National average is around 220. To get into the competitive specialities, you will need to be above the national average (but that dosent mean scoring lower than this will exclude you from getting into your speciality because it happens all the time). For prep books, the only one I used was first aid. I also the Kaplans preparatory program online and a program called Pathoma (prob one of the best programs out there because majority of the step is pathology which this program covers well.) In addition to all the above, clinical grades and letters of recommendation are other important things to keep in mind when applying. Good luck man and let me know if you have any additional questions. Remember the more practice questions you do, the better your score will be. Check out these books here that I used to study:USMLE First Aid: amzn.to/2NnceRfKaplan Q Bank Book: amzn.to/2MMqFgvCrush Step 1: amzn.to/2u0BVhJUSMLE Step 1 Recall: amzn.to/2MLUBtf Antonio Webb, MD www.antoniowebbmd.com twitter.com/drwebb82 facebook.com/awebbmd www.amazon.com/author/antoniowebbmd kzbin.info instagram.com/overcomingtheoddsbook www.linkedin.com/in/antoniowebbmd Connect with other pre med students and ask questions, get tips handed down, visit here: facebook.com/groups/soyouwanttobeadoctor Or Go to facebook and search: "soyouwanttobeadoctor"

My main issue is being mentally tired / fatigued, which brings out those issues described above surface... Also, I feel like I wouldn't be able to handle the stress, and i'd be all over the place. Thank you for your time :)...

Medications ???

Erin Norwood I think it is sleep apnea for me.

[@erinnorwood6124]

@@IP1995IP oh ok. As someone with mental health challenges, the wording reminded me of ADHD, add, and other things which can all be treated or managed with meds

[@erinnorwood6124]

But even with that, I would see your doctor, explain things, and see if they can recommend a treatment :)

Aweosme video! If not possible to go to a big Univeristy, would settling for a medical school in the carrievean be a good option?

I decided to do the calculation and adding 50 mins plus ten mins break with one (1hr) break at lunch and (1 hr) break for the gym, you’ll get 700 minutes. This is 11.6 hours. Now I didn’t calculate times you would need to take dump, shower after the gym, eat dinner, etc.. you can not possibly study that long. Why clickbait and exaggerate how much you study. At most, I think one can study at most 12-14 hours and that’s pushing it. It’s a great video, but transparency is lacking

[@FLYGHTyt]

Hey doc, question. Did you do research at all during your first 2 years? How were you able to squeeze it in with your 18hr days if so.

[@kaitlynkilpatrick36]

Im in a master's program right now and my average is about 8-9 hours a day after a 3 hour class (6 hours if I have two classes). Gotta bump it up 😤

[@antoniowebbmd]

ha, still good though! Thats awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@kaitlynkilpatrick36]

got me a 90 on my cell and molec bio test and we'll see how it affects biochem today!

[@skipyjohnjones]

Did you follow this schedule through the weekend as well? Any days off?

[@antoniowebbmd]

Good point! Didn't mention that but I usually took 1 day off a week

[@dingusbro925]

I take Preworkout (180mg caffeine/ scoop) to boost me

[@komaddog]

Hey Dr.Webb? I understand this routine. I applied it in my preclinical years but now that I'm in clinical years, studying 18 hours a day is near impossible unless you have a weekend off. Can you shed some light on how you studied in clinical years please? I know it would vary depeding on the clerkship.

[@antoniowebbmd]

Varied by the rotation but there is usually ALOT of downtime during clinical years so def bring books, flash cards and practice questions to do during the day. On a typical clinical day, I could get in atleast 1-2 hours of studying while waiting for residents, during lunch, etc. 10-15 mins here and there add up quickly

[@Katherinegarciab]

Dr.Webb what study tips would you give to a student in pharmacology??

[@MotionTutorcom]

How important is "normal" color vision in medicine. If one is "color blind" and wants to be a physician is that person's choices limited? One cannot be a commercial pilot if he/she is color blind. Is it the same in medicine?

[@antoniowebbmd]

Good question but im sure there are alot of color blind doctors. I dont think it restricts you from doing medicine

[@avinaashparmar9234]

How did you make friends or meet people if you didn't go to class?

[@ericottojr2242]

Thanks for the video! I'm an MS1, and I'm wondering how you balanced that intense of a study schedule with other responsibilities (I.e. family, relationships, extracurriculars)?

[@TinaOnEarth]

That’s amazing! I want to try this out, but all my lectures during the semester are mandatory attendance. I’m assuming this would work great during dedicated study period or school breaks?

[@antoniowebbmd]

Yes it will only work if you don't have mandatory classes but you can still use the same principles even after you get out of class

[@mbekka1]

do u read the text books or just listned to the lectures and take notes ? or read the slides ?

[@kikothecat3700]

If i go early uni hasnt opened yet.. great

[@salomekabinga3282]

12-18 hours 😥😥 wow. When do you sleep?

[@dj2751]

Dr. Webb, for how many months did you maintain the 6/7a-midnight schedule ? Was this for both of your pre-clinical years or during your dedicated board study time? I'm 4 months away from my first board exam, and would love to do a similar schedule. However, we have exams on average twice per week until dedicated board study which begins in April along with an attendance policy where we can't miss more than 20% of our classes(I've begun studying boards during class lately). And, being married, I want to make sure to spend time with my wife an hour or so a day. Thoughts? Thanks for being an inspiration, man.

[@superdedipro123]

I am from India and got into medical school. In our country due to high population and low number of seats in medical schools we already have to study 12-15 hrs a day to get in and that's being conservative. So how much should I study now to get a good MS or MD?

[@amandationg5152]

You missed out dinner after gym, what time would you eat that before studying again and for how long?

[@antoniowebbmd]

I usually ate my dinner while i started back studying to save time

[@jeffreyd700]

Did you go out/party on weekends or ever? Also did you do a lot of extracurriculars because I'm trying to figure how you kept up your study routine after m2

[@WhiteCoatChronicles]

Stunna shades! Haha great insight

[@antoniowebbmd]

ha, thanks!

[@zeemzilla]

You didn’t even mention eating dinner! Did you follow such s strenuous schedule every day? Or were some days less intense than others? What About weekends?

[@LegallyCutPeopleOpen]

Fellow surgeon here , i would fast and do OMAD during studies before it was even popular lol.

[@GloryLoveHaircare]

Great strategy to study, can you interview a female doctor that had small children in medical school.

[@larissangwe]

How do you remember all that information? I downloaded an app with medical terminology and got through approx 40 terms and could barely recall a term I studied that I didn't know before.

[@ishish8816]

I suggest making them into flash cards on quizlet. Repetition is the key.
