Start by removing the distractions - then study. Never study with the hope of containing distractions. It mostly never works. Even if it does- its not perfect.

I'm not a fan of studying for long grueling hours. It's not important. What is important is your goal of studying, having the right materials, and making sure you attain your study goal per time.

A man can decide to put 2 bags of rice on a wheelbarrow and push it from point A to point B. To everyone, he has worked hard. To him, he is working hard. You can see the sweat on his skin and his bulgy muscles attesting to the 2 bags of rice weight.

Another man can decide to put 2 bags of rice in van- to move from point A to point B. Well, this doesn't matter much to anyone. Nobody sees him. Nobody hears him. He doesn't work so much as MR Truckpusher. But he did what Mr Truckpusher did- moving two bags of rice from point A to point B.

Granted-to succeed, you would have to invest hardwork. But sadly, the most important thing is not the amount of work you do, but the amount of goals you attain per time.

I am not saying studying for long hours isn't good. My point is- no matter how long you study for ( 2 hours or 20 hours) place more emphasis on what you're achieving with that time instead of using the length of time as a measure of effective study. At the end of the day, when you're asked to write on the brachial plexus, nobody would ask the number of hours you studied. You'd be expected to produce what you should know.

This doesn't mean it's easier.


Long term memory depends a whole lot on repetitive studying. If my physiology doesn't fail me, there are two types of memories: short term and long term. When you're studying a concept for the first time, that information is stored as short term memory. Within a short while, you'd forget. To remember over a long period of time, you need to transfer this information from the short term to long term memory centers. This can only happen by repetitive studying- a term fondly called "potentiation" (look up physiology of long term memory and potentiation for more details)

Which is why I always advise that one studies :

1) Before a lecture
2) Pay attention during the lecture
3) Study what was taught immediately after the lecture. This gives you a chance to add more details if you want a distinction.
4) Revise at another time
5) Maybe one more time for folks that want distinctions.


To me that's all you need.

The other BCH-Medicine thing is a very personal affair. If you've wanted to study medicine all your life, on no account should you back down. At least, give it your best shot. If it works out, well and good- if not, at least you gave it a good try.

Don't spend too much time thinking of making the right decision. Make the decision - then stick to it
i will never forget this sire!

lomaxx:


Gross Anatomy: Snell's Clinical Anatomy By Regions

Histology : BRS Histology + Di Fiore's Atlas of Histology

Embryology : BRS Embryology

Physiology : NMS Physiology plus/minus Fox Physiology

Biochemistry : MN Charteajea Textbook of Medical Biochemistry

The books I recommend to medical students are often looked down upon. They are indeed risk adventures. Most medical students I recommend books to end up not using them. Why? Because they're not the usual books. Medical students are used to the books generations ahead of them used and prefer spending long grueling hours on huge endless textbooks. To some of them, that's the drill.

But one girl attempted to use of of the books I recommended in her Pathology exam. Her classmates were studying Almighty Robbins and Cortran Pathologic Basis of Disease. I told her not to use it. My reason: the book was too detailed and time wasting. I offered her a trio of Pathology Secrets+Pathguy.com+Some lecture notes I emailed her. The results was out last week- she topped the class with a distinction mark. They still think she's a genius.

Happy weekend.
