Congrats on your success so far! In terms of continuing to improve, I’d recommend learning about and implementing evidence based strategies like active recall and spaced repetition, and then creating a workspace using a tool like Notion that can keep you organized. I am leading a 30-day challenge at the start of the new year where we will go through all of these things as a group if you’re interested!

Thanks for the video! I am finishing up M2 and will start 3rd year clerkships in the Spring, and I was wondering if you were doing Aways through September, when did you work on your ERAS application?
@EvolvingMedic8 ай бұрын
Hey! Good luck on starting clerkships! Great question! Students usually work through ERAS during rotations. So it’s very helpful if you keep an updated CV and draft out a personal statement early. Then it’s just plug and chug and editing. I drafted my personal statement in January during a break I had, then I did editing and finished completing my ERAS in July and August.
