Has anybody taught themselves First Aid?

I'm an MS2 at an organ-based curriculum school. Thus, we obviously won't be covering many of the systems until 2nd semester.

I am trying to finish as many qbanks as possible. My goal is to finish USMLERx by winter break and start on UWorld by mid December (random mode). However, this means that I will be doing a lot of questions on subjects that I haven't been exposed to in class (the organ systems reserved for 2nd semester).

To combat this, I'm currently trying to teach myself FirstAid by supplementing it with Pathoma/Wikipedia/Goljian. However, I'm having some difficulty doing this.

Has anybody had experience in preemptively learning all the organ systems before your school exposes them to you? I would love your guys' feedback!

Tried to do it. Failed miserably. By all means, try it out, but I doubt it will work. Just don't let your attempts to teach yourself cause you to fall behind on your school's material.

The reason that you're having some difficulty is because it's a bad idea. You won't be able to learn a system until you devote 100% of your attention to it. If you do that, you'll invariably neglect the current system that you're studying.

Just do questions on the systems that you've currently completed.
