In my opinion doing questions is on of the best ways to memorize. You basically create a problem while reading the question and your brain is desperate to know the answer... I really liked the numbers on the Recall List, until now I really didnt like the obscurity of summaries and lists, but adding numbers to each item makes it more vivid. Good Video!
@@antoniowebbmd combine that with memory techniques. check out alex and cathy mullen they were med students thank me later ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YIW8-ucsbIw.html ru-vid.com/group/PL_K0fmdm8PBXUGmwo8aPJM4QO6mBU1uT4
Thank you for this video Dr Webb! I am a first year medical student studying in London and have been looking for good ways to cope with the insane workload my med school has thrown at me. This video has been very helpful; glad I discovered your Channel. I know it's a bit early, but I've been thinking of going into Orthopaedics:)
Thank you for sharing. I returned back to school after 20 plus years out and this is my second semester and I'm having the hardest time trying to remember concepts. This information is very helpful.
You can do it! Just learn to write notes down and be an active learner! Meaning do not just watch videos and attend lectures! Try to ask questions, go to your professor office hours, make group study, do flash cards( I like Quizlets) and teach others. Finally believe in yourself! You will do it 😺
You are a life savior. I’ve developed similar habits for studying in my nursing program now and I realize repetition is key as well as mnemonics. I have to get better at my organization, though! I use to be a scatter brain but I really had to start using pictures to associate ideas 💡 and terms together. Right on!!! Love this video!😃
Love this Dr. Webb. I love the discipline, which has been foundational for me. And for me, the spaced repetition has definitely come through Anki :D But totally agree, you need to see things in as many ways as possible! :D
Thank you so much for this information! I’m a senior in high school and I am still trying to improve my study skills! Our schools throw information at us constantly but never teach us how to actually learn and remember.
Currently I find that drawing diagrams for things in colored pen helps me memorize things faster than usual, but I'm not in medical school yet. I'm a little scared.
Wish you the best of luck for your boards. Turns out I was doing the 5Rs subconsciously and now I know how to define it when people ask. Currently in my 2nd year in bachelor of dental surgery and once again I offer you my best wishes
Love all of your videos!! You helped me through my struggles in school & inspired me to keep going. Great humble doc, the world needs more of you! Thank you🙏🏼
@smoothcollected 2 things: first the comment is because it's funny how he says it, personally my first language is french and I do things like that all the time when I speak English and I'm almost fully bilingual and guess what? It's funny. That's why pointing it out to see if other people heard the same interested me or if I was just not hearing correctly. So stop being so stuck up, this is a comment section of a RU-vid video and you assumed so many things in one comment, learn to laugh. Second for someone who spent 14 years in school, you'd expect him to know how to spell a work like library, that's just my opinion, this has nothing to do with the intent of the original comment.
Laconian Drakon pronounce a WORD like library. 🤣😂🤣😂 someone like you should know the difference between spelling a word and pronouncing it. Or maybe that’s just the way they say it in the city he was raised in. Dialect and accents have a lot to do with the way people say certain words. In this whole video the only thing you guys could do is pick out and make fun of the one word he PRONOUNCED wrong. It says a lot about your character.
I try my best to make my studying enjoyable. Keep yourself busy with music instrumentals, drink plenty of water, and make sure to space out your breaks. The worst part is to feel all stressed out and end up laying your studies for later...
Appreciate this Dr Webb. My problem is usually not having a clear mindset before studying, I'm always thinking about other things while studying. Would you recommend listening to calm tones during study times?
Aaah thank you for this!!! I love the recall list you made I tend to do that my problem is routine. Best wishes with your boards! You will slay it no doubt!!!
Maybe I just became a RN nurse/nurse practitioner or a respiratory therapist... I like medical science and human biology but literally spending nearly all the week studying i think it isn’t my thing, and especially when I’m just an average grader. In my lvn program- vocational nursing- I thought it was quite the challenging! Manage to pass it but it was kinda hell. I don’t even want to think about the extreme intensity of medical school process 😂.
Study groups and teaching what I’ve understood to other students is my bag. Like, I used to make study guides for everyone in my classes and maintained a 4.0 in the honors college while at university. For some reason when I took that responsibility on I was locked in and if I let them down I would’ve caused them to fail. It’s crazy but having serious shit on the line makes me excel
I’m in my second year of medical school and I get so overwhelmed with the amount of info. The recall idea sounds like it’ll be very helpful, thank you!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching! Please share so we can continue to grow and I can put out more videos like this! Also, don't forget to subscribe as I will be posting new videos every week!
Wonderful way and wonderful sharing. Thank you! Personally I add to that I not just clear the words in the dictionary, but any related idioms and way of use as well and also always check the origin of the word as it is not just fascinating many times, but helps to remember the meaning of the word. Also making sentences with each meaning until I feel comfortable with that.
Hey how do u study pathology diagnosis? My exam is more like figuring out the diease but my book is trash...it’s irrelevant to the test please respond ASAP 🙃
No method helped me remember like seeing patients, LOOOTS of them. I rounded like a freak 😃 because first: it was a good experience to help around, second: I never forget a patient. Whatever they had, how they got managed got stuck forever. I graduated medical school seven years ago. I still remember the majority of basic clinical knowledge thanks to kind and supportive residents and patients who gave me permission to help. For basic sciences, I had to study with friends. Collaborative learning works wonders for some people. Oh, and I memorized some hard stuff in the gym 😃 My most sincere advice: Please pleeeeeaaaase don't be a perfectionist. Perfect is the opposite of good.
Like you said you still remember that information and it’s been 5 years so I take it you do not need to know that really now, you go through all that to get the title doctor then they assume you know but all doctors do it come in a room sign off some papers or prescriptions, diagnose you, and like I mentioned you got pass these test just like test in life!
@@antoniowebbmd YW....hmmm....Im starting to detect in my bones (since youre an othro guy) that another video will be coming along about doing fellowship..If so you owe me $2....lol
Good advice. So nobody's going to point out lieberry and breafast like those actual words. Every doctor I work around nails those words with the greatest of ease. I guess library and breakfast will wait
I guess with all the schooling and medical school residency etc, I guess it all pays off in the end because once you get that doctor stamp hardly all that stuff they teach you barely applies. You just have to meet their qualifications and standards to see how bad you want it , and repetition!
How I memorized everything in medical school and forgot majority of the stuff, but what I realized a majority of the stuff I learned I never used on the job.
Thank you for the summary in the description. Dr. Webb you had three girls while studying during medical school. You must have had a good time studying with them.
What do you do to focus? I have trouble zoning out when I'm studying or say when I'm reading, I'll forget last few sentences I read so have to keep going back reading over and over
Thank you so much for this. I'm not in medical school yet. I'm taking my first step in the health industry and am enrolled in a Phlebotmy course. It has been so long since I've been in school or studied. I felt stuck and forgot what studying technique worked for me. I'm currently trying the recall list and it's perfect. Much love from Houston!
