Life at SMS Medical College

Life at a Medical College is different from life at school or outside the medical college. Making it till hereafter competing with such intelligent students who have always been scoring well is a very big accomplishment. Entering a medical college doesn’t bring an end to the struggle but it is just the beginning of determined and devoted hard work. Getting selected into SMS Medical College proves how determined you are and that your skills should be polished by institute no other than SMS Medical College.  In medical life goes through various phases and some phases are challenging, in order to beat those challenges few tips are mentioned below:

Take Good Notes:

Pay attention during the lecture and takedown good, organized notes. Start a new page for every new lecture. Grasp keywords and concepts that the lecturer mentions (You won’t have time to copy down full sentences). Then, when class is over, go through your notes and solve all the queries which arise in your mind as soon as possible.

Efficient Management of time:

At medical college you can no longer rely on your parents to keep a calendar of everything that’s going on and instead, you must sort things for yourself. Add to this the fact that a significant proportion of time at university will be spent feeling tired, due to excessive studying or partying, and there is a recipe for potential disaster. Practical’s may coincide with sports matches or a MedSoc event might be happening when you’re meant to be seeing your family. The most important thing is to manage your time efficiently. Regularly go through your notes and always start early. If any assignment or quiz is due do not drag it till the deadline, rather start early so that you have time to ask others and perform well.

Work Hard but Work Smart:

Studying medicine comes with a certain expectation to work harder. There are generally more contact hours than other subjects with practical’s and lectures taking up a great deal of time. Of course, it’s not just the contact hours when you are working, lecture notes need to be read over, essays have to be written, practical’s should be prepared for and keeping on top of it all can be a challenge. This is especially the case as your workload will vary from week to week, sometimes being set a great deal of work and sometimes having a whole week with very little to do. Therefore it’s important to be flexible with how you work and appreciate that sometimes you will have to put in a long stint of work in order to have the time off when you need it. So hard work and smart work are needed to achieve the best.

Dr. Najeeb lectures:

There are times at Medical College when you don’t understand a certain subject or a certain concept, which forces the students into stress and depression. At times there is no TA or batchmate or senior present to help you. In such dire times you have the ultimate source of Medical knowledge “Dr. Najeeb’s Lectures”. For most reliable and best assistance you can access Dr. Najeeb’s Lectures. These are video lectures which are an incredible source for self-studying.

These lectures comprise of visualizations of knowledge delivered by books. These lectures for the best understanding of students contain hand-drawn illustrations. Above all, one can get lifetime access to these lectures and even download the app to avail them anytime, anywhere.

Take Smart Study Breaks:

Remember that a break is indeed necessary. Your brain needs to recharge and your mind needs to rest. The danger is, of course, using Instagram, Facebook or Netflix during the period, and turning your study break into a movie marathon. One method you may have not tried is to take a 3 or 4-minute break every 30 minutes you study. Then on the 4th break, make it 4-5 minutes. During the break drink coffee or tea or you may eat nuts or take a brief walk in the fresh air. All of these techniques will help your mind relax and gain its energy back.

Stay positive:

There is almost no point going into an exam so nervous you end up making multiple silly errors. You need to have confidence in yourself and trust yourself. There can be times when things don’t go smoothly but always stay positive and keep you spirits high.

At the end we would like to encourage you to work with consistency and become the most accomplished physicians. Don’t give up in hard times, keep our tips in mind and Good luck!
