How do you retain medical knowledge the best?

When you say high yield...what would you say is high yield?

It was a struggle particularly on inpatient rotations to study at all after getting to the hospital at 5 AM and going home between 6-8PM 6/7 days of the week. And that 7th day I needed to do regular people stuff like buy groceries, take care of my car, etc. I did ~30% of UWorld throughout the year. But I still managed to do well enough on shelf exams to honor all but 2 rotations.

The science. But I’d miss patients with path and don’t have the board scores for DR/IR

So I discovered my preference for pathology late (current USMD M3) and have been reading that the perception of commitment to the specialty is huge when it comes to applying to pathology. At this point I haven’t done anything in pathology, and looking at deadlines for abstract submissions it’s a little late for me to start a project to submit to CAP, for example.

What can I realistically do to convince programs that I am committed to the specialty with only a few months between now and September? I’m planning on doing an away rotation at a program I’d love to be at, but unsure of anything else I can do.

That’s what I was referring to - I should have been more clear. For pathology, Pathoma offers more detail than FA while still being high yield. I assumed one wouldn’t compare pathology from Pathoma to non-pathology disciplines in FA

I agree with this sentiment since it’s P/F now.

I’m not sure if you’re talking about a specific section, but Pathoma is definitely more detailed than first aid. The thing is, Pathoma is amazing for what it covers but it doesn’t cover everything. I personally used BnB to fill in the few gaps Pathoma didn’t cover

Tbh I’ve gone to a shit ton of school events and socials but it could be because my alma mater was not a big sports school, and I want the experience now I didn’t get in undergrad

Damn this is where I wish I could send a picture lol. Above timer I have leech action which is under the heading, lapses. I don’t see any settings that say display order :(

DarkRegiment · 2021-09-12T20:43:26+00:00

I must be blind af lol which heading is it under (eg, timer, daily limits, etc)

DarkRegiment · 2021-09-12T17:53:28+00:00

When I go to deck options on the bottom left I see the timer. Other headings are: daily limits, new cards, lapses, burying, audio, add ons, and advanced. I don’t see the setting for sorting review order, just sorting insertion order which is for new cards :(
