I do not have kinesthetic intelligence. Is this a problem for med school?

Hi all,

I'll make this short. I am training to be a CNA right now and we are learning procedures (dressing residents, taking vital signs, giving partial baths). I've learned pretty quickly that I generally have more trouble ingraining these step-by-step, physical procedures into my head than my fellow students.

Will this be a problem for the clinical portion of medical school and beyond?

Then keep repeating them on your own free time till you can do it in your sleep.

I doubt it is a lack of intelligence, it is more likely you are getting stressed out and not thinking clearly.
