Best Advice of the Day

How to do well in med school:

1. 20 minute prep: Before the first day of every class, do a 20 minute review of the class. Review the syllabus, books, etc, determine what you will use and how you will study.

2. 20 minute closure: After the completion of the last day of any class you take, set a timer for 20 minutes and annotate your First Aid Review book.

3. Use the 2nd years: Ask 3-4 second years how to approach the class before you start it to get the inside scoop on study strategies and level of difficulty.

4. Q&A Blitzing: Each week, write 8-10 questions you think will be on the test. Meet once a week with a group of unlike-minded peers and blitz each other.
