Dear All
I am a first year medical student on accelerated program. i need some advice from any present or past med students on how best to learn medicine. Every week we cover a range of topics and the work can seem so overwhelming. Medicine is a very hard topic and i just wnt to know about peoples personal experiences of managing workload, pressures. What works for you what didnt work for you, Methods of learning and what to avoid
For example for anatomy i have found that i now cnt just read the book but need to write and rewrite what i have learned. More specifically what i am finding useful are online resources which test your medical knowldge. Do people know of any other webisites which test your knowledge via questions and answers in other topics, such as cancr, diabetes, stroke histology, immunology
coming from an art background i am finding the underlying science hard to grasp can anybody recoomend ways of improving learning.
I know this e-mail is requesting a lot but i hope someone will have the time to help me out a bit.
thank i look forward to your responses
