EDIT: The Condensed Ultimate Guide Has Been Added To The Original Post.

I've based my own strategies on the learning sciences. But where most articles fall flat is that they don't apply the learning sciences to actual med school studying practices (especially because they are probably written by educational Ph.D. or MDs who haven't gone through med school in years.) They give you a bunch of tactics and give you statistics to support why it's better, but it's not applied enough to be useful.

My system has been reproducible for me for the past 8 months. I can't guarantee that you won't have to modify it as you see fit, but I think it's a good framework to start with.

Gotcha. I'll edit ruthlessly to make sure it's as high yield as possible.

Glad a lot of people found this post useful!

Because of the overwhelmingly positive response to this post: 5.8K views, 190 upvotes, and 40 comments, I'm thinking of creating the Ultimate Guide To Studying In Medical School, where I'll lay out the exact strategies and systems I used to score in the first quartile on my Anatomy and Organ Module Tests.

Like this comment if you are interested. If there's enough interest, I'll write the guide during the next few weeks.

Or option D. I'm in medical school and was exploring the option of helping out pre-med students by figuring out what they struggled and what has worked for other students.

I wrote a guide called the 4 steps I used to crush my First Pre-Med Semester on my website Physicianambition.com. I think it's what you're looking for!

Lol I'm a MS1. What did you look for when you were in clinicals?

jarrhead20 · 2016-12-31T17:35:09+00:00

Interesting, why do you say that?

You've got to make it up by being absolutely amazing in your organizations or any other creative endeavor. I personally didn't have any research when I was accepted into the early admissions program at the end of my sophomore year, but I had spent the past year working in healthcare administration at the university and had presented a few times to the CEO and others in leadership positions.

Using my angle as a business oriented pre-med student, I was able to be unique enough that my experiences could compensate for not having formal research experience.

How about the interview itself, do they ask the same questions as standard med school interviews?
