Hey guys,
You get two updates because I've been away for so long. It's been terribly busy and I think im a bit slow when it comes to writing out my thoughts. I need time to reflect, and I havent had that time recently.
Classes have been going excellent. My uni streams all their lectures online. This is absolutely huge. Rather than actually going to classes, I tend to stream them from home, pause when I get lost and memorize the lecture as it happens.
This tends to slow the process down: an hour lecture will take me 1.5 hours. But, I'll not only understand, I'll also memorize 80% of the material on the first attempt. And for courses like immunology, its an absolutely amazing feature. Im reviewing the entire block's worth of immunology now, and its so complicated that it would have taken me forever to memorize everything if I hadn't done it my slow way the first time.
The anatomy is taught decently well here. The amount of resources they give to aid you with your anatomy learning is great. I would like to do dissections, but ive realized that its more efficient time-wise, to learn my anatomy from prosections and ask a retired or currently practicing surgeon for help when i dont understand something. Yes.....surgeons...my uni is awesome.
All other courses arent that bad for me. Most Canadians students will find that a lot of material is quite basic. You definitely need to study those courses in more detail for your USMLE.
Thats all for med life. Coming very soon: reflections on the recent CARMS talk.
