Go to more talks.

In your field, far out of your field go to as many talks as you can.

Sometimes you’ll have good excuses. I know I did. I’m not going to skip classes that I’m paying for, and I can’t miss lab meeting because something cool popped up Thursday at 4. I know you can’t either - I get that.

Sometimes I had /okay/ excuses. I have to study for orgo one more hour. I want to relax tomorrow, so I’ll do more work tonight. It happens.

Sometimes I had garbage excuses. I’m tired. The Bachelor is on. I’m playing on my phone, so time slipped away from me, and now I’m actually going to do work.

PLEASE go to talks. Learn from people doing what you want to do. Learn from people who have a career you didn’t know existed. Learn from physicists, sociologists, activists, grad students, Nobel laureates, your peers.

I’ve never regretted going to a talk. I had no clue what was going on sometimes, sure. But not ONCE have i left the room thinking “What a waste of time.” You know what is a waste of time? Playing on your phone til time slips away.

I know it seems impossible.

I know you have no idea how this is supposed to work out.

say your game plan aloud

have a to-do list, but don’t cross off your accomplishments

if you’re feeling down about grades, look at your previous successes

completely kill any distractions

create an atmosphere for learning - this can include having studyspo tabs open, watching studytubers, etc.

put on music that motivates, yet calms you - I recommend (not too chill) classical, instrumentals, trip hop, soft electronic, etc. - ambient generators work wonders too

remind yourself of your end goals– think of your desired uni/s, the grades you’re striving for, the progress you’ve already made

make sure your goals are realistic

declutter your workspace

have water nearby, as well as possibly other drinks and snacks

open curtains to let in natural light

think of anything that motivates you! friends, fictional characters, spite, whatever

school starts in about a month for me and i thought it’d be helpful to compile everything i’ve collected in the span of a year into one giant masterpost ! :]

THIS IS IT GUYS GOOD LUCK

Apollo Anton Ohno (via caffeinated-butterfly)

I love this so much.

Step 1 and Done.

I don’t understand how some people can straight read First Aid and retain. Here are a few videos I found to be very helpful for understanding and memorizing concepts. With the plethora of YouTube videos out there, I feel like there should be a database of worthwhile ones somewhere (please tell me if there is already). Feel free to add any you’ve found particularly helpful. 

Anatomy

Brachial Plexus Speed Drawing

Brachial Plexus Explained

General Anatomy Overview Channel

Anatomy Figure Drawings - Helps visualize muscle actions

Biostats

Watch these a couple of days before your exam for a refresher. Many of his review questions are based directly off of UWorld questions.

Practice Questions

Cardio

General Cardio Overview  

JVP explained with relevant path correlations 

S3/S4 - the simplest of explanations (the accent does’t hurt) 

Antiarrhythmics - follow up with SketchyPharm 

Antiarrhythmics - Refractory Period Explained 

Embryology

This cardio video is amazing. He explains the cardio congenital defects in context of what causes each defect during development. This makes recall much easier as you’re learning the process and can work out each one even if you forget the small details. (make sure to watch both parts)

Heart Embryo Derivatives - mnemonic 

Intestine Development - Overview

GI Development - Foregut, Midgut, Hindgut Orientation

Embryonic Folding 

Pharyngeal Arch Mnemonic (die)  

Microbiology 

Algorithm/mnemonic for viruses. Pure gold.

YouTube Channels of Interest

Armando Hasudungan 

Anatomy Zone

Speed Pharmacology- Some short videos on CNS drugs

Medcram-Super helpful and has clinical pearls

AK Lectures-Saved my life in biochemistry 10/10

I also recommend subscriptions to Sketchy medical, Najeeb, and Cramfighter
