learning

I have been struggling a lot with learning in graduate school during this pandemic. This whole virtual thing sucks. My school has essentially transplanted their in-person structure into zoom, and I just don't feel like it's working. At first, I told myself it was just for a couple semesters, and...

I'm a PGY-2. I feel like I've learned a lot so far this year, but I still feel like most of my knowledge as been learned by self-study & a few key attendings who put forth the effort to actually teach minutia & explain their reasoning. I feel like I am mostly teaching myself though. I feel like...

I have seen a lot of information on whether a school has didatics, TBL, and PBL and I'm wondering what the major differences are between each of them and what it is actually like to learn through these styles. What schools use all three vs only one?

I am currently a fourth year going into Rad Onc. After speaking with a number of current Rad Onc residents about making the transition into residency, it sounds like the most common advice and useful skill is to learn how to interpret CTs and MRIs now, before I actually start my PGY-2 year. In...

I am an M4 who will soon be creating a rank list for psychiatry programs. I've been able to compare a lot of objective features in places, like climate, location, areas of particular strength/emphasis, and resident profiles. But one thing I haven't been able to get a sense of is "what it would...

new resident here in surgery. Yesterday was my first experience in bedside femoral vein lines and it was not fun. My paranoia of hitting the artery resulted in me having my junior stick it. Granted the patient has a plt level of 7.. just wanted to ask more senior ppl how long it took them to...

In passing through multiple threads I've read that B&B is an excellent resource for filling in gaps in knowledge when preparing for step 1. My question is, are these videos such a good learning tool that they should be used alongside MS1 courses to learn the basic sciences and systems? Or, is...

So I may be the odd man out, but I actually enjoy lecture. During undergrad I never skipped a lecture, because I really felt like it was a good way to be introduced to a topic. I learned a lot from lecture alone. If I was unclear on something, I would watch Khan Academy Videos and other...

Hey all, I'm a new medical student currently participating in a pre-exposure program to my medical school for this coming August. As I have had an early view of the large amount of information, I have realized my need to alter my study strategy accordingly. Normally I quiz myself on everything...

Hello, I have been hearing for students of the podiatry program that the president of this school is making it the "Harvard" of podiatry and that it is miserable. The school is so competitive that they don't feel like they are learning anything because it is such a hostile learning environment...
