Hello,
I know this thread will probably get moved to the Medical student Forum, but I am begging the moderators indulgence until I get a few responses from folks here. The students in that forum have already offered their $.02 and I have read all the posts but I really wanted to get the opinions of those who have already "suffered the pain."
Basically, some of them are saying that it is better not to spend all day in class in med school and study on your own. One of the posters stated he/she was willing to give up high honors in order to have a life. They only seemed interested in attending the "small group work."
I read an "autobiography" of a prominent surgeon at in it he said he stopped going to class too.
Is this a good idea or a recipe for disaster? Did any of you do this? Were you successful?
Here is the thread.
