How I Memorized EVERYTHING in Medical School

[@KingZob33]

I've actually seen a TED talk video from one of the world's best memorizers and he discusses this same technique. To see it being used in an academic setting was super helpful. Thanks dude!

[@jasmin1656]

Z H do you know the name of the ted talk or have a link? I’m interested in watching!

[@KingZob33]

Z H thank you !!

[@indievidual644]

Can you make a video on active reading?

[@LifeofRohu]

Molly Noble yes please!!

[@payalas]

Wow as a first year med student who just started, this was SO helpful! I will always remember Menkes disease now, and will do this for every clinical correlation I learn. Thanks so much :)

[@lalita2688]

Highly agree with the fact that sometimes mnemonics can be more beneficial when its a combination of you understanding the concept as a whole and then deciding to make your own mnemonic. This helped me out a lot for some of my science classes where I wast not really engaged in the subject matter until I made my own association, then it was fun to learn for me. Great video!!!

[@DrAdnan]

It’s cool you made your own sketchy drawings. I’m an artist but thought it would be too much work for M1/M2. I kinda wish I did it now.

[@treehugger489]

Can you make a video about how you annotated your step 1 book/ schedule for studying for step 1? Thanks!!! Love your channel!

[@MedBros]

I want to make sure to put together the best video for step 1 stuff so that video is coming up for all those asking. Sorry for taking so long. I wanted to get data from peers and make sure I give all the right info before people make plans to take the most important test of their life haha.

[@ankithaiyer6138]

Okay I am IMPRESSED. I'm an incoming MS1 so I was watching some videos on study advice. I actually remember EVERYTHING in that description of Menkes disease after remembering your image and I wasn't even actively trying to learn it - my brain subconsciously absorbed it and when you were reflecting in the end I was able to recall everything. I think I found my new secret study hack. I would love to hear about some other study strategies you used - as a visual learner I assume. Thank you so much!!

[@groupproject3861]

Would love a video on how to read effectively on difficult texts. Some medical books you have to read are so convoluted due to unnecessary words, terminologies that you don't understand yet etc. How would you go about this? if you could write a short reply it would be a godsend honestly, I am sitting with such a book right now, and the majority of the test comes from this so I can't use another book.

[@sitaramichell2325]

@@danielledanielle3566 this was the worst and useful advice for the genuine question being asked

[@FFFSDify]

maybe you should try "How to Read A Book" by Mortiner J Adler and Charles Van Doren. I've heard alot of good reviews on it and just started reading it myself, seems like its gonna be impactful.

I have alot of trouble with exam recall. I spend alot of time studying but tests scare me. I know that I know the information it just won't come to me. I will try this method though, thanks 👍🏾.

[@priyabadial9113]

Honestly, I would say this is defiantly one of your best videos! I hope for you to focus in and create more videos like these on tips that help you prepare as a medical student! I'm a fourth year nursing student preparing to write my Nclex and can't thank you enough for educating me and teaching me step by step about this technique! I learnt more about menkes disease in this video than I would have ever in my life, thanks again 😊

This is a really smart technique.. Pokemon is genius! Can you please share your drawings/ images from the First Aid book?? I feel like I'm not creative/ artistic enough to come up with drawings like that!!

[@anabelle849]

I have my exams coming up soon can you make a video on how you take notes, study for exams and prepare yourself

[@seraphinemoncada5371]

This is great. I'll never forget Menkes now... I also pretend to be a teacher and talk to myself hahah

Bruh you a real one for using mankey!! I'm weak how hilariously brilliant that was to describe the disease.

[@marlonzubizarreta6446]

Omg this is soooo helpful . I’m not in medical school yet , but that picture and it’s meaning will definitely stick on my mind. I don’t know how I’m going to use it for my classes , but I’ll give it a try . Thanks !!!!!

[@skepticaldazai1371]

Do a video for highschool students!

[@MedBros]

I'm on it!

[@skepticaldazai1371]

@@MedBros Thank you very much, will be waiting for it!

[@glow15]

Yay!! Thanks for suggesting, I was just thinking the same thing!

[@Rh92887]

I think the same technique would work. Attach what you want to memorize to something creative to help remember it.

[@avolovo]

I came up with memorizing the symptoms of pellagra, ariboflavinosis, and burning feet syndrome using pysduck, lickatung, and rapidash. Works so well, thanks so much for sharing!

Awesome video! I'll be sure to try this out, I love trying out new learning techniques :) also I would love to see you in the channel picture as well since you're more active on here now!

[@jonlock5705]

What are your thoughts on anki?

[@MedBros]

I see soo mamy people using this and I just never got around to setting it up so I cant say too much about it. I do know the flashcards I used were firecracker and I'll be sure to do a video on all these resources but firecracker is so good!

[@jonlock5705]

Thanks!

[@tiffanytran4970]

Could you do a video on your USMLE studying schedule please? And how long was your dedicated studying time?

[@MrGameman200]

do you write notes or just read and think about the topics?

[@MedBros]

I used to write notes but theres just too much to write in med school so I just started writing a little bit of notes in the margins of my first aid book and repetition and thinking about it were what I did to have it stick.

[@fantacyencephalon_jess]

came from Kaur Beauty channel and your tips are so helpful

[@esmeedenters101]

don't apologize for anything! we can hear you and understand what the drawing is so that's all that matters. this technique was really cool and will def be using it for my mcat, thanks! :) also i'm sure you've heard of memory palaces and that could be where this came from but those are really cool to watch vids about online too haha and memory athletes

[@ItWillRainXO]

Did you or any of your classmates ever use visual resources such as Sketchy or Picmonic? If so, could you please share your thoughts on them such as the benefits or limitations? Thanks!

You really nailed this video! I wish you could have added another different example so that people who are goig to apply for medicine have more insight as to what it is really like. Can you _please_ do a video where you explain what medicine is really like? As in the kind of things you study in it and some details about the kind of subjects you take and how to tackle specific subjects which people generally find hard?

[@itssoxdelicious]

Hi guys! I'm a French med student too and I got this, how it works through this disease example (a character with multiples characteristics and symptoms). But how would you do with DNA replication, cell signaling (which incorporate a lot of factors to know), the humain development with numbers of weeks and months to know? If you are in the same situation, thank you very much for your help. I'm in love with all your videos, keep going!!

I found certain mnemonics useful, but generally, I remember things better if I understand the entire concept behind it. Lecturio does pretty good job with those kinds of explanations.

[@whitneykuwamoto7110]

I feel like i have learned all of Menke's disease from watching your 2 minute story of the concept. Maybe it will stick for two more years so I can recall it once I'm in med school!! :)

[@hraqhraq]

Your drawn character of Menkes disease reminds me of Streptococcus or Staphylococcus especially Streptococcus Viridans group that attack teeth

[@shivanishastri4285]

I have done that (not yet a med student) but you gave me another idea... use symbols like stars ✨ or heart ❤️ or anything else to help write in shorthand

[@amandalovet]

Have u ever heard of Pic pneumonic ? I think that’s what the website is called, but it is pretty much what you are talking about. They have great graphics and video clips that are so helpful in memorizing!

[@thatweirdscienceguy9880]

I'm not in medical school, I'm in high school but could you answer this question that I have for my Anatomy & Physiology class, we're learning about bone growth? I know that chondroblasts create chondrocytes, then the chondrocytes divide, then the matrix around the chondrocytes calcifies, leading to the death of the chondrocytes due to lack of nutrients. Secondly, I know that osteoblasts move into the area following the death of the chondrocytes, they secrete osteoid which creates osteocytes, which is mature spongy bone. Although, I don't understand anything regarding fibroblasts Could you please explain that process?

[@later2058]

Actually, the chondroblast does not create chondrocyte. When chondroblast mature, they become chondrocytes and get trapped in the bone matrix
