Study Methods - From College to Medical School

[@DocOssareh]

Glad you liked it.

The weekend study is the same as during the weekday. Just get in more sleep and then start studying in the morning. Study for an hour, 15min break and so forth. then take an hour lunch and dinner. I also throw in an hour free break where you can do whatever you want for an hour. Nice to watch a movie, go for a walk, etc. This way the weekends are extremely productive and balanced. Hope this helps.

[@DocOssareh]

Thanks for the comment. I know how you feel. The beginning of medical school is always tough. Let me know how it goes. Just put in the hours and the effort and things will pay off.

Your eloquence is amazing!

[@Shivi4eva]

Absolutely love your videos! The amount of times ive rewatched these over the year 🙌🏼 its pure genius :) keep it up

[@MagicalWhiskers]

Condensed notes -- this is what I've been doing through college with the hard science classes! Absolutely fantastic albeit time-consuming process that most often results in success. I got an A in A&P, Microbiology, General Bio 1 & 2, Introductory Orgo, etc. I think I was the only one who did this in undergrad classes lol. Btw I'm not Med, I'm an incoming Nursing (RN) school student. Great video!

[@tinadenfinaNOT]

I LOVE YOU. Seriously. Thank you for telling me the things I try to tell myself. You sort out my thoughts. I can see clearly now. Motivated for next semester of med school!

[@domecekrpopanenky]

Thank you for all your videos, they are very helpful. I study medical school in Europe and first week was very hard for me. I love watching you and listen to your advice :)

[@LunaAmari]

Very helpful! :D I am trying the flash card and note techniques for my anatomy and microbiology (nursing orientated) classes.

[@ChuKills]

It cuts off when you said, "develop a question that would lead to me to." At 9:26.. Re-upload? :l Or am I the only one with this problem somehow?

[@2charlin]

The color yellow is supposed to make you cheerful and give you energy :) My bf is a lawyer. He studied for the bar with the background on his computer screen being yellow. Side note. I'm starting med school this fall. Your videos are super helpful!

[@alexkoziarz8846]

Great Video, only in high school but I'm glad I found out now about these techniques now.

[@ryanwan9]

Great video. Great explanations. Thanks for posting this, I really need it in school right now. Anyways, I hope you succeed in your goals because you've really helped a ton of undergraduates who dream to go to med school.

[@elviraviramontes8494]

Thankyou for your honest, humble tips an advice!!!

[@gleamlikegold]

you are amazing. you are evidently such a committed student and you are so kind for sharing your experience with us! thank you :) xxx

[@lauriejwalker]

Thanks for your info. Im taking pre-requ's - (microbio and A&P) for PA school.

[@mamacocolilo105]

How was p.a. school?

[@RonB0105]

Great video! But please where is the rest. Stop 9.26

[@DocOssareh]

The best suggestion I have is to write what you do NOT know. If you understand a concept then don't write it down. Keep the notes to the topics you don't know.

[@DocOssareh]

Thanks for the comment! I'm Persian.

[@DocOssareh]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@lansean9]

Truly a fantastic video.

[@johnallinson3299]

I hope to be like you one day, truly inspiring and really interesting character to listen to :)

[@DocOssareh]

Thank you for the comment!

[@MsICEskater16]

great video. I learnt alot. Thank you for the pointers.

[@ambidexmed]

I got top grade in all my anatomy exams. I never write stuff. I just draw what I have trouble learning(eg. internal iliac artery branches). This is just what I think: Why write the same thing that is in the book? Most people make notes though. I understand.

[@LB-jw3ly]

Most people in medical school get burned on practical anatomy on the cadaver anyway. Anyone can read the book and memorize. Harder to figure it out when everything is the same color hehe.

[@ambidexmed]

Luke Borom What do you mean

[@LB-jw3ly]

I mean it is easier to memorize the pictures in a book when they are all color coded but hard when you do gross anatomy and have to pick out the parts when most of the things are the same color. Like the arteries arent red and the veins arent blue like they are in a book.

[@ambidexmed]

I thought you were making a point

[@LB-jw3ly]

Nah just saying easier to learn a book than real life ya know.

[@dennisblewett5768]

Back at UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago - a premed school), the core was covered in lecture. Everything else was adding layers to the core. If you understood lecture, everything else came pretty natural. So, I really think lecture is the core of the study material. However, keeping lecture memorized can be difficult in itself. The lecturer might not be the best, and a person might have to seek out further information to fully understand what was covered in lecture.

[@DocOssareh]

Thanks for the comment.

[@SchoolAndUniversity]

frankly speaking it was just amazing watching this

[@23Smartie]

This tells me that you're so hardworking!!

[@jjpyae]

You can also use Quizlet offline. Just save the html of the stack that you just made.

[@vpobrien]

Thanks for the advice. I can understand the usefulness of making "condensed notes" which distill material from the raw sources, but how do you strike the balance between putting enough detail in them that they are the only source you need to review and still keep them condensed? Do you put in every detail but just not explanatory content, and have to refer to the raw sources if you forget? Thanks! -soon-to-be fellow St. Mary's Alum

[@shuptishagorica4088]

Would it be possible for you to re-upload this video? It got cut off after 9 minutes.

[@TheAry96]

Would you recommend writing notes down by hand as opposed to typing them? I've read numerous articles claiming that writing them by hand helps you commit the content to your memory easier. What's your take on this? Great video by the way!

[@TehHamo]

So for something like Sociology in a Kinesiology Context, you would reccomend doing condensed notes?

[@michelledotdiaz]

great video but it cuts off in the beginning of flash card method description?!?!?!?! wheres the rest?

[@MySoCalledLifeSky]

The video got Cut off? ? ?

[@tsgeredatesfahun6774]

thanks....

[@Far7anR]

thanks for the vid, but fyi - only 9:27 min are available. google says this vid is 21 min long, but it cuts uff half way through. u might want to reupload this vid. lemme know when you do!

[@R14iify]

Did you make condensed notes for the USMLE First Aid Textbook? I read it once already and although it is already condensed, I feel like I should make some. However, most people I asked just reads the book over and over again throughout first and second year leading up to their Step 1.

[@bdancestars]

that was my second guess and sweet, a farsi speaker!

[@ysballer]

What do you specifically use your white/black boards for? notes? review? I'm hesitant to use a board bc I might want those notes!

[@SleepDisorderedBreathing]

Can you provide a list of the resources you read?

[@anda884]

These condensed notes you described, are they pretty much your interpretation of everything you read through a chapter or subject? if so how do you make them to be only 10-15 pages? i try but it take much more pages...and a lot o time as well... so what is your secret?

[@matheusmwc]

I have noticed that you use two markers. A yellow one and a pink. What's the logic beetween this separation? Thank you very much. S/O from Brazil.

[@kurama10271]

i need help for studying bigger english words such as equivocal ambiguous and equivocate lol any study details for that type of material?

[@HilalAjame]

This is what i'm doing during my one-hour study..

[@mp4meltdown]

You shouldn't be sharing your secrets, that is the secret to every guru mantra !

[@FurkanKhan100]

"how? i dont know?!" lol so cute.

[@abiapples1]

What med school do you go to?

[@0819superman]

HI!! Im in 1st yr med, My class is from 8-5 mon to fri. I cannot possibly make condensed notes cause its going to take a lot of time. I have trouble managing my time, memorizing all of the things that needs to be studied. We sometimes have a sat class as well. Listening to our professors 8 hours a day is really tiring. Any suggestions to help me cope with this tight schedule? Any suggestions will really help. They give us ppt slides but those are not enough.

[@Andreaiscray]

[@TheAry96]

Would you recommend writing notes down by hand as opposed to typing them? I've read numerous articles claiming that writing them by hand helps you commit the content to your memory easier. What's your take on this? Great video by the way!
