In medical school, it is extremely easy to be overwhelmed by the ocean of information we need to browse through, most of which we do need to retain to be qualified. At this stage, it's about knowing a bit of everything, and probably everything about some things. Doing this can be extremely stressful.
What is adult learning?Learning is lifelong; adult learning is about identifying your own learning issues or objectives, and setting feasible targets to achieve them.words of wisdom from Dr P
It is very true indeed. No one really controls our learning these days. It's all about self-initiative. The keener you are (OR show) in the clinics, wards and theatres, the more you'll learn from your experience in clinical training.
I aspire to adapt to this concept of learning: having my own objectives in life. Another important thing I've learned only after 2 terms is that there needs to be at least ONE work-free day per week where the day has no association to Medicine. Having a break and not feeling guilty about it will make the learning week more efficient.
So for the new term --> work hard on weekdays, PLAY harder on weekends :)
