Hi everyone! I stopped going to my lectures early in my first year of medical school, and in this video I share the reasons why! I hope you find it helpful! Comment below if you have any of the same struggles 👇🏽
*Just a disclaimer I forgot to state in the video.* I understand that doing this is not possible for all medical students, especially those on a lecture-based course. Apologies if that is the case! Being on a PBL course where lectures only supplement our self-directed learning, I had the flexibility of watching recorded lectures. As explained in the video, this does not mean I just abandoned them (I still watched every single one!), and that is not what I am promoting here😅I just found this the best way to make the most of them for how I learn as an individual!

Hi Hiba, I completely agree with you but my med school doesn't record the lectures, if you know where I could find recorded lectures from other med schools on the internet please tell me 🙏

@hibbear 2 года назад

Hi Hana, thanks for watching. Unfortunately I'm not really aware of any websites where you'd be able to find lectures from other medical schools. Our lectures are uploaded to an online portal that is only accessible by the university's own students, and I think that would be the case for most universities. I will keep an eye out for you though! ☺

Lecture hall is place for sleeping 😅… But Unlucky physical Attandance Above 80% is mandatory for Pakistan Medical Students…… RU-vid nd records lecture like Doctor Najjeb much much better for medical students

@hibbear 2 года назад

Hahaha I can’t say I haven’t ever felt sleepy in a lecture hall😂I agree many online resources/lecturers can be better than uni lectures🥲

totally feel the same. what do you do against boredom during the day studying alone? I'm struggeling with that a lot

@hibbear 2 года назад

Hey, thanks for watching and for your comment. It can definitely get really boring studying on your own. I try to team up with friends to study from time to time, which really helps to motivate me!

@johnseventhday9145 2 года назад

You spoke what my mind was failing to articulate properly sister you are the best but one disadvantage I do not know if you face this but lets say a lecture lasts for 2 hours when I begin to pause and write it takes 4 or more hours to complete the lecture though i am able to get the detailed content and full understanding the time factor is huge is there a way to tackle this sis?😩😩😩😩😩

@hibbear 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! I totally get you! I struggled with this too at the start, and found that pausing lectures doubled the time it took to get through them when I first started watching recorded lectures. I think for me it came down to resisting the urge to write down every single word and only write the important parts/paraphrasing. I used to get held up in writing the EXACT phrase that the lecturer spoke, word for word. It took me some time to change that habit and start filtering out the important stuff. Still inevitably I think there will always be the odd lecture that does take a lot of time to get through, depending on what it covers and how detailed it is. At least just watching the recording you don’t have to go through it twice :)

Hey, I was just wondering that after 5 years of med school in the UK, if you want to work elsewhere in the world, do you still have to do FY1 and FY2 etc?

@hibbear 2 года назад

Hey, thanks for watching and for your comment. No, not necessarily. After you graduate medical school and have your degree, you are a qualified doctor. Foundation years are just the starting of the post-degree training programme in the UK. If you wish to work in another country, you can by all means start your training in that country according to their own training pathway. With that said, there are probably benefits to doing foundation years here first, as you will be more experienced when you start the job elsewhere.

What about your social life. Does it have any effect, repercussions, or not? Do you feel any stress doing the classes only at home?

@hibbear 2 года назад

Great question! It’s only lectures that I watch online. I still have all clinical teaching, placements, seminars, skills sessions etc in person. So no it doesn’t have any repercussions on social life. It wasn’t stressful as it is a common way to study amongst colleagues. What I found more stressful was spending double-triple the amount of time on lecture notes than I needed to.

@shohaibhanif2496 2 года назад

Aren't lectures compulsory to attend though?

@hibbear 2 года назад

Of course it required that you watch the lectures. However we have the option to watch recorded versions instead of attending in person :)

@farida7125 2 года назад

thank you !! how do you take notes at medical school ?

@hibbear 2 года назад

Hi Liza, thanks for watching ☺️ I make notes differently depending on what component I am making the notes for e.g. lectures, anatomy, clinical teaching etc. For lectures when I watch the recordings, I make notes on a word document almost as a transcript of what the lecturer says (missing out anything irrelevant/unimportant). I take screenshots of relevant slides/diagrams and add them into my notes too. When it comes to exam time, I use the notes to make revision resources. At this point you could use them to make flashcards, put them into Anki, condense them further, whatever you choose. For anatomy, I have a video on my learning and revision process🙂 I hope that helps!

@bratzglamoruslife123 2 года назад

@@hibbear I reccomend trying remnote if you like to make notes into anki! I started using it today and it made making cards so easy

@hibbear 2 года назад

@@bratzglamoruslife123 thank you for the recommendation! I don’t like Anki but I will definitely be giving remnote a go as I’ve heard good things about it and that it’s slightly different ☺️
