Now, comes the next step and a bit tough one comprising of a lot of challenges for you but don’t worry, if you have qualified for the first step, it’ll be easy for you to clear the next step too. It will require a bit of hard work and your focus to overcome these challenges. Here are the few tips mentioned below to help you:

1. Managing Time:

Managing time is a milestone that gets every medical student through the 4 years of hard work and sleepless nights. It is a competent task and requires work but once you get a hold of how to manage time and allot your time to each task effectively, you’re already good to go. There are certain aspects of managing time. Firstly, manage your time according to the importance of the task. We all know that throughout our life, all things are done concerning the relative significance it holds for us. Thus, keep in perspective that the most important task comes first, and then comes the rest.  Secondly, manage time according to the difficulty of a particular task. This means the difficult task should be done first, due to the technicalities it carries and the consumption of time it requires. Thus, keep in perspective the difficulty of all tasks and allot your time accordingly. Thirdly, monitor your time management progress. This part may come off as difficult because of the process that may be involved. So indulge in performance tracking that will enlighten you on how you have managed your time, how effectively, how much more growth is needed and how the steps that are needed are being followed. Thus, this step is extremely crucial for the underlying frameworks of time management and the importance that it holds.

2. Self-Study:

If getting through a medical school was so easy, everyone would be doing it. But that’s the difference, it’s not. Relying solely on old methods, or one method of study is never ample. The sooner the students realize it, the better and easier it will be for them to adapt. Thus, you should keep in mind the significance of studying since day one. Studying through various means encompassing class lectures, notes, studying online and the list goes on and on. The technicalities related to the field of medical and the crucial field that it requires a massive amount of hard work and a strong potential that needs to be observed immediately in the students. Your competencies should be reflected in all your tests and examinations because you’re motivated enough to choose a field that’s going to change your life forever. And changing your life means changing your way of life; put in extra and do your 100% because that’s what’s going to be your survival kit till the end. Make a plan. This may sound cliché but believe you me, it is one of the most widely recognized aspects that enhances the future results. For every course that you are being offered, make a plan and divide your chapters according to the days or weeks. Assign yourself various forms of goals; be it weekly or monthly that needs to be fulfilled within the given time frame. Thus making a self-study plan will encourage growth and an enhanced result.

3. Dr. Najeeb Lectures:

The burden of missing classes due to emergencies that may prevail due to unforeseen circumstances, unable to focus in class or unable to make notes due to whatever reason is the most troubling situation for a medical student, especially keeping in perspective the importance of every word being said, every jargon, every sentence, and the list goes on. But ever imagined a time when a person is a click away for all the solutions to their problem? You can imagine, now that Dr. Najeeb Lectures are at your disposal.

4. Self-Care/Rewarding Yourself:

Amidst all the difficulties of a medical student, the self-care factor can’t be overlooked. Know the significance of caring for yourself because the importance of mental health can’t be emphasized enough. The involvement in various self-care activities is important. It can mean giving yourself a break now and then, rather than piling all the notes into your brain until it can’t take it anymore. It can also mean giving yourself the entire weekend and study on weekdays; your idea of self-care is entirely different depending on your personality and your happiness. It doesn’t have to be the same as the rest; it just needs to be right for you. Secondly, rewarding yourself is an extremely crucial factor that is not thought enough by many people around us. It is very important because rewarding yourself means incentivizing hard work. This further grows seeds of more hard work and you’re inclined to do better each time in hope of reward from yourself. The reward can be in various forms; whichever way is preferable for you. But never forget just how significant it is because it is always tied to better performance and better results in the future. In the end, we would like to assure you that there are always ups and downs in life. Don’t lose hope, keep our tips in mind and Good luck!

Dr. Najeeb is the single most spectacular medical teacher you will ever have! I love this man. He has clarified everything from the coagulation cascade, immunology, neurology, and embryology. His sense of humor and brilliant illustrations make everything stick well in your memory. His ability to illustrate 3-dimensional relationships has been useful for excelling in anatomy. I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful work you do. I recommend your lectures to anyone who wants to truly understand medicine!

I'm grappling with my online studies in Infectious Disease at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It's made me realize what a visual learner I still am. So these vids are making what was murky crystal clear. While I am easily distracted when I have to do hours of straight reading, I am glued to the videos. I've looked for a series of such videos for months. A million thanks - Dr Najeeb has a true passion for teaching and can convey highly complex topics in an understandable and fun way.
