📚Recap of my 1st year in Medical School 🏥

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I joined Medical school...it honestly feels like I’ve aged 10 years since. But don’t get me wrong, as much as I suffered, it’ll probably be the year I’ll miss the most throughout my whole medical journey. I’ll miss the feeling of everyone being just as lost as I was at first, but then realising how fun anatomy actually is. Things have a way of figuring themselves out, which is why I’m here to share all the tips I wish I knew before I started medicine!💉💗👩🏽‍⚕️

1️⃣ Every person (and every subject) has their own unique study method, its completely okay to spend the first couple months figuring that out. 📘💊

2️⃣ Do not bombard yourself with too many resources, it’s overwhelming and inefficient. 👎🏻

3️⃣ Speaking of resources, ANKI is a lifesaver. It’s a computer program that helps people learn and remember information using digital flashcards.
Pro tip: Seek for Anki decks customised specifically for your university.✨✨

4️⃣ Speak to seniors to ask them HOW they did it! Trust me, seniors haven’t been through war just to not know the best strategies!!🩺💊

5️⃣ Have fun. Having a social life is not only possible but also very important to preventing burnout in medical school. Prioritising mental health is so important, something I didn’t work on and that just led to frequent burnouts! 📚👩🏽‍⚕️

Most importantly : Don’t compare yourself with others, it’s your journey and you have your own timeline.💝🩺👩🏽‍⚕️

🌟 The first year was challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this journey holds. Stay tuned for more adventures in med school! 🏥💪 #MedSchoolJourney #YearOneComplete #FutureDoctor #medstudent #medschool #medicalschool
