Medical Struggling with medical school - what can I do?

[Mr.Smile12]

Hi , I’m currently a first year DO student and in my second semester. First semester was pretty much stress free for me and I performed very well . However this semester is a completely different story . I have been really struggling with Physio mainly do to the fact that my professor is honestly not that great of a teacher and asks questions not really related to what he focuses on in lecture . I failed my first Physio exam with a 48 . For the second one I made sure to write detailed notes , read through the text book and answer more questions . Yet I still got the same grade. At this point I don’t know what else to do and I am wondering if there are any other tips on how I can succeed in Physio . Thanks

What do your second-year classmates suggest? Do you have peer tutoring?

There’s tutoring offered through zoom for anyone to join . The second years suggested what I did for the second exam which is mainly going through text book and answering questions

1) go talk to yor professor about study strategies
2) seek out your school's learning or education center ASAP

What worked for me for physiology was reading Costanzo Physiology multiple times, watching youtube videos, and doing questions from Guyton and Hall Medical Physiology.
