Yes.Hello, I was wondering what type of information is mostly learned in medical school. For example, is it mostly memorization like in biology of pathways, structures, molecules, cycles, ect? Or is it more like general chemistry, where you have to learn complex abstract concepts and apply them to a problem given (I understand a lot of medical school is solving the problem of what the diagnosis is, I am not really referring to this type of "problem"). Do you find the information engaging or dry?
Every 2-4 weeks depending on the block. Exam weeks are a little busier but it depends on how well you've been keeping up.Also, how often do you have exams? I know the weeks before exams are hectic and I wouldn't mind it if it was not like every other week. How does this compare to normal, non-exam weeks? Do you have time to go to dinner with friends, go to the bars for a few drinks, socialize a little, go on little day trips on saturdays or in other words feel like your still getting at least some experience of your 20's during non-exam weeks? Sorry for all the questions, I do not really know anyone in medicine and would love to get some insight. Thanks!
