Level 1 Prep 5/22
35 days left before COMLEX 1 day until COMSAE 2 We are done with classes, done with ACLS and focused on board prep. My school wants us to have ACLS before we go on rotations, which is great, but the cram it right after finals so we don’t really get the time to treat it…

Level 1 Prep 5/9
48 days until level 1 14 days until COMSAE 2 This past week and a half has been brutal. For me, for everyone in my class. This is what I have expected medical school to be like. I was pushed to my limit a couple times. I was able to complete all of my tests,…

Level 1 Prep 4/30
57 days until COMLEX 1 2 days until COMSAE Don’t allow one bad PQ set/quiz/exam to get you down. This is something I had to tell a buddy of mine, and I ended up having to tell myself. There was a Tiger Woods video talking about earning success and he says something along the lines…

Level 1 Prep 4/26

Scorecard – Block 4 – 19%
I think it is safe to say that I really do not like medical school right now. The factoids we are made to memorize are trivial and pedantic. I am not sure how my ability to pick out the gene responsible for homocysteine from a multiple choice question is not going to help me be…

Wellness scorecard – Block 3 – 40%
(For the 40% I subtracted the days we didn’t have class and doubled it for the class preview sessions. So this block was better and a definite step in the right direction.) My mantra for this block was “boring is good.” I’ve been thinking about what I need to do to study more effectively. My…
