Hurdling medical school is a massive task. It does not only require intellect, perseverance and hard work, but also the correct study skills. You have to adapt a smart strategy to maximize your learning process. Here are some study skills that you can use:
1-Do not cram: Cramming is never advisable. This is the major cause of mental block. If you really want to learn, then you have to study everyday. Develop a genuine interest in your subjects and you'll be motivated to learn more.
2- Understand what you are memorizing: Read the subject matter and then summarize in your own words. You should be able to explain using your own terminology.
3- Make use of mnemonics: Get the first letters of the data to be memorized and form a memorable word that you could easily remember. i.e.FOG for F-flow of blood, O- oxyhemoglobin, G - globin.
4- Keep your notes well organized: Make use of highlighters. Highlight the major points with a red pen and then the minor points with perhaps, a pink color. Rewrite your notes into a neater and cleaner page.
5- Mentoring by your professor or others: If you still could not cope up with the lessons, then you can ask help from your classmates or from your professor himself. You could also initiate a group study where you meet with your classmates and discuss one topic per session.
