med school blog 🩺

I'm a final year medical student .

Trying to be consistent with academics and health while enjoying life and loving myself .

Medschool survival-

Hard limits :

Minimum 6 hours of sleep ( elite )

Eating whole foods

Daily Movement ( let the endorphins flow)

No zero days ( study a little bit every day )

Guilt free breaks ( still learning to do this, learning not to be too hard on myself )

Yes ! It's that easy ( along with lots of breakdowns and crying )

☑️just get to know me ;)

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

1. Stop passive studying . Active recall will help you retain the content better.

2. Read only important or past year questions, trying to finish everything is like willing entering a pitfall

3. Get adequate sleep ( 5 to 6 hours)

4. Eat well - eat healthy and nutritious food , avoid take outs and risk of GIT issues right before an exam.

5. Make a priority list , study all high priority topics first

6. Don't waste hours making a "perfect" schedule , just start , everything will fall in place

7. Eat the Frog ! Finish difficult topics first before panic starts

8. Time yourself : Don't spend too much time on one topic , you need to cover other important topics too and syllabus is vast in med school.

9. Study before hand. Being consistent and studying for 1 to 2 hours daily for 6 times a week will take you a long way instead of studying for 12 hours for 2 days a week.

10. Breathe. Take care of your mind . Journal. It will help with the stress. Ask yourself: what is bothering me? Why is it bothering me? What can i do about it ?

I completed 30 short notes of opthal .

I studied respiratory system from medicine

I studied hard for paeds test and got a good score

Did well on my dermat test too

Ate healthy

Went on a 2 girls trip , much needed break

Started Journaling again

Take away message :

Be kinder to myself , it helps to bounce back faster . If you keep feeling guilty , you will get back to work eventually but slower .

Taking breaks is healthy
