Same! But we have weekly ungraded self assessments to keep us studying. Plus fear of failure is a good motivator!

haha wellsame...but a lot of people don't take those assessments very seriously. I haven't fallen behind yet (mainly cause anatomy hasn't really started yet) but its still pretty scary

So you guys started with anatomy? That sounds rough.

Thankfully, we're moving onto cell bio and genetics, which is still review for the time being.
 
Integrated organ based curriculum...doing anatomy alongside physio, biochem, histo, clinical skills. So much info. So brutal.
 
Also, anatomy for us is spread throughout the year not clumped in several weeks.

I'm starting to realize the grass is always greener... when a particular subject is tough for you (i.e. memorizing tons of anatomy), it sucks having 20 lectures of that particular subject making up an exam. I almost wish I had a bunch of things to spread it out lol

Here's to hoping that we'll look back and appreciate these really tough months lol! My school is systems-based as well, but this first block is foundations, so every week there's a new emphasis and every week I have to change my study methods! :(

Catching up really sucks. I went gung ho before my first block and did well. But it was hard to get back into the groove after labor day weekend.

That doesn't sound any better than the 8 weeks of hell I'm still trapped in but almost done with. But you know, the grass is always greener...

That sounds rough. Best of luck to you.

We are just finishing our first module (I guess you could think of them as units) and we have our first test tomorrow. So nervous!!

I get tested on at lecture material weekly and histo/anatomy/clinical skills every other week. Block exams are in 3 weeks which cover everything. But at least I get to start in clinic soon! Patient hx and vitals to start with!! Fairly overwhelmed by knowledge most days but I couldn't ask for better classmates. Love this crazy journey!! Guess what guys, we are going to be doctors!!

Officially done with the musculoskeletal unit and on to biochem and micro. No anatomy for 2 months. Pretty stoked.

Finished the biochem/genetics block up and started anatomy now. I love it. I'm so much more motivated to study and read and learn. This is medicine.

We also started our dissection. Med school is really looking up!

Also, I bought a motorcycle and I'm sad that it's towards the end of riding season.

I've found anatomy content to be awesome, but I absolutely hate studying for it. it sucks having to rote memorize tons of names of structures rather than being able to understand and apply it. I'm over the lab too haha, the honeymoon phase passed. I'm actually looking forward to it ending, just one more month to go (for histology/cell bio also).

congrats on the bike though! what kind did you get?

Yesss! Exactly how I feel about anatomy. Unfortunately, we have anatomy threaded throughout our entire first year. :(
 
Biochem is soooooo much more boring than anatomy. At least it's easier.
 
Anatomy is honestly so interesting, but it is so time consuming, especially if you're learning pathology, physiology, and everything with it. Not studying anatomy is going to be refreshing. though a professor literally warned us today how boring biochem is going to be...


also i start working with a preceptor in the emergency room tomorrow and i couldn't be more excited for that

ahh I feel for you :( luckily our anatomy block ends in a month, then biochem and physio starts, which will probably be difficult in their own way I'm sure.
