Typical neurotic premed. But I find myself with a TON of extra time right now, as most of my job requires sitting around waiting for incubation periods to be over. So I've had a lot of time to think. I have two questions:
1. I've heard its pointless to pre-study for medical school. I was thinking about maybe just learning the muscles and their attachments/innervations, as this was the part I struggled with the most in anatomy. Would this be helpful, or not really? (also considering learning neurotransmitters and hormones). You know, a lot of the stuff I know I will need to know and is mostly just memorization.
2. I've heard mixed reviews on USMLE step 1 prep. Some people are starting out right away, others wait until a couple of months before. Would it be worth it to start with the firecrackers when I start MS1? Or should I wait until MS2?
Just some bored, crazy pre-med thoughts.
