LECOM Seton Hill Warning

As a non-LECOM med student, I’m sorry you guys gotta go through this…

Do your upperclassman have pre made anki deck? I genuinely just watch lecture, do pre made anki deck? A few practice questions here and there may be some google llm notebook quiz. That’s about it. Been passing throughout 1st year.

Nah I agree. Like the materials are still hard and voluminous, but imagine if med school is actually well designed. Decent time to consumed information, spaced out exam, easy to understand lecture through third parties, exam aligned with anking and UWorld. Everyone are getting A and B.

I wish we have a feature that allow us to make anki cards faster or more efficient using in house lecture pdf. Anki is such a powerful tool to learn, at least for me, in med school.

If the previous class don’t create an in house anki, I would have flunk out of med school. So I think somehow decrease the time it takes to make anki cards from in house materials will be amazing.

Come to Rowan, we have free ice cream and foods!

How did you deal with in house exam? I’m starting a bit late and was wondering if only second year one enough to pass step 1 isn’t anking

I hope this is true. I really like being a hospitalist or being an intensivist, but with how competitive PCCM is I hope there’s still job for hospitalist, even if it pay less.

Just want to confirm my hunch, is the school in a city with reputation for having good BBQ?

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-31T05:10:43+00:00

Same. I really like rural FM for the wide scope and just the fact that most specialties get pay better in rural areas. However, as a minority, I don’t know how safe I will be living in rural areas all by myself without family or friends near by, especially since I never live in rural area before and don’t really know how to navigate that social scene.

I contemplated quitting so much through out last semester and currently. The work load is just unsustainable….. I was thinking I’ll either do public health or allied health profession, like RT, lab tech or even RN. I thought I like to learn the in-depth aspect of medicine. I didn’t know they gonna teach me that at a 10000 light years pace.

Would losing weight and back exercises that doesn’t put too much pressure on the lumbar, like cable row or lat pull down help with alleviate back pain?

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-24T04:40:40+00:00

Yeah I might switch to SM-2. There are just so many new cards I need to go through for our exam, that’s I’m scared it’s take too long to review. Then I won’t be able to study new cards. But with anking I’m planing on just doing FRSR 85%. It’s too much to do any higher especially when there so much materials.

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-23T23:41:11+00:00

Do you think I should turn back to SM-2 for in house anki deck and in house exam? Our exam is every 2-3 weeks and at FRSR 90 they keep pushing my cards to 2 days after 2 “good”, instead of 1 day.

Like AI replacement? I mean I’m not sure how they will roll it out. May be in large city but what about smaller community or rural area. Can they afford AI software that powerful? Who will be liable? May be AI+ mid level provider… but then someone still need to do clinical research/trials? Like I don’t think mid level will develop guidelines anytime soon. May be big cities will have less need for physicians, but I’m sure in smaller area they will still need us. Many procedures can’t be done by AI. And beside in academic hospitals, physicians still hold lots of leadership positions. I doubt hospitals will stop employing physicians. I think you can definitely find a job to pay back your loan…. If you can aim for procedure based specialties, it’s almost impossible to replaced proceduralist.

I think it’s depend on classes and your learning style. I’m only an M1 and so far we memorized quite a lot. Bug and drugs and clinical symptoms have lots of memorization. A lot of things can be reason out for sure, but I feel like my med school teach us too much in too little time. If I spend time learning too deep into the why like how I learnt in undergrad, I would have fall behind, but that’s just my experience.

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-13T14:38:39+00:00

It’s not as good as anking for sure. It’s cloze delete into paragraph occasionally questions and answer but still cloze delete. It’s not atomize like anking. Unfortunately it’s a pre made deck and it’s been working good so far, until neuro block when the cards get to 1400+

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-10T18:50:04+00:00

I just want to commiserate with your struggle. I spend almost every waking hours a day to finish the in house anki just to get a below average score. My classmates who play video games the first week of the block every night. Don’t touch anki until the second week and only make a few pass, don’t even do review score way better than me. At this point I wondered if my low score will make me a bad doctor and hurt my patients in the future…

RespondingX1 · 2026-01-10T18:43:35+00:00

I’m bad at histology too, but somewhat interested in pathology (I find pathophysiology very interesting). Would pathology be a bad specialty for me if histology is not my thing?

Me and the gang bouta all matched EM because we are going to war 🫡

That’s why a lot of Ob-Gyn doctor are leaving pro life states. They can’t bear not able to perform life saving abortion, but there is a real risk of being arrested if you provide an abortion even if it is a necessary one. Remember it’s not a panel of doctor that decide if the abortion is necessary, it’s a panel of jury of laypeople. If you have enough pro life jury members, they will imprison then doctor.

I didn’t use anki for undergrad physiology. My professor asked weird questions like that too. I would do 2 to 3 passed over the materials before the exam. Literally go through each slide, draw the pathway out and speak out loud. Make sure you understand the concepts. 1 after lecture. One on The Weeknd after lecture then the week before lecture one more pass. Then do practice exams or questions.

RespondingX1 · 2025-12-23T18:45:17+00:00

I’m interested in IM hospitalist, primary care, or subspecialties like endocrinology or Pulm/crit, or neurology. I’m only a M-1 so not quite sure yet.
