I'm a MS2 and just finished up my med school's brain/psych/neuro course. I loved the topic and found everything so interesting. However, we've started a pathophys/pathology/pharm course that covers everything else and I'm finding it to be so boring in comparison. I realize the material is important and would like to learn it well, but I'm finding it very difficult to maintain motivation.
I was a humanities major in undergrad and loved how neuroscience combined my interest in science with my interests in philosophy, sociology, etc.... There were so many different intellectual aspects to it. I feel like other pathophysiology -- like cardiac or pulmonary -- is comparatively unidimensional.
Anyone have any suggestions/advice to stay motivated? I am strongly considering psych or neuro as a specialty but would like to do well in all of my classes so I can match into a strong program. I'm concerned though because it is such a chore for me to care about this stuff.
