STATMed Alumni Share the Worst Advice They Received As Struggling Med Students
Not all advice is created equally. And bad advice can come from good intentions, as many of our former students can attest. In part three of this miniseries, Ryan is back with six recent STATMed Study Skills Class alumni. In this episode, they share the worst advice they received about how to study and succeed in med school.
“That goes back to the bad piece of advice I’d alluded to was to memorize everything. And this was said to me by the same individual who told me that my previous medical experience doesn’t matter, so I didn’t necessarily trust the advice, but this goes back to this idea that it’s possible to somehow work in a fifth or a sixth pass. And really, all that’s doing, and we talked about this in this podcast before, but all it’s doing is giving you this idea, this allure, this facade of familiarity. It’s not actually giving you that experience, that touchpoint with the material.”
