After admission:

Getting admitted at Boonshoft isn’t the end of the road, managing the years you study at this institute are going to shape your career and future. It is important to know some of the basics of how to do this. Some of the techniques used by generally all medical students are listed below for your aid.

    Take help from your mentors:

    Instructors offer the help and recommendations you need to direct your professional life towards success. In addition, they can help you create the industry contacts that open doors to residences, fellowships, as well as other career opportunities. Be aware that mentoring arrangements need to be mutually beneficial, therefore stay ready to arouse the curiosity of your coaches in supporting your progress by displaying your skills & abilities.

    BE AN ACTIVE student

    Talented medical students are diligent and gain more training and expertise outside what is incorporated into the education system of medical schools. It could include engaging in a particular research, doing group service, or figuring out ways to change campus culture. Why leaders stand out is the extra work and enthusiasm they put into each task.

    Dr. Najeeb Lectures:

    If at any instance you find that you need some extra assistance with your lectures, course work, practical tasks, or research you can go to Dr. Najeeb’s Lectures for help. You will find many video lectures which are excellent for reviewing and even self-studying. Dr. Najeeb’s Lectures are very famous amongst the medical world individuals, they cover vast and extensive medical topics which include Gross Anatomy, Neuro-anatomy, Embryology, Histology, Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology. You will find almost any lecture relevant to the current curriculum of your medical college. There are even hand-drawn illustrations that come in aid when trying to understand difficult concepts. You can avail of these lectures anytime, anywhere on the website, or even download the app for quick easy access.

    Find a balance:

    Attaining an equilibrium between medical college’s expectations and other facets of life by prioritizing, setting boundaries, and improving stress management is important for medical students. Perform activities that will help you to relax and then coordinate them with your weekly lectures and research. Have some ‘me-time’. Depression symptoms are popular in medical students due to the high academic workload. Do not hesitate to ask for help if you feel you need it.

    Managing people:

    Whenever it comes to handling folks, you need to remain cautious. Evaluate all individuals in your environment, and cherry-pick your mates. Stay away from unnecessary disputes, if you get into one, try fixing the issue as soon as you can, this will be good because you have to remain with these people for years to come. Identify any individuals that might take advantage of you and your good abilities and keep away. Be a little clever when it comes to managing people.

    Explore career options:

    Many graduates use the first- and second-year vacation and obtain enrichment experiences in science, health care policy, volunteer work, public safety, or a hospital setting. Several specialization societies provide scholarships also an increasing number of internships aid medical students in fulfillment of their fees. Really take into account taking one or more rotations away to disclose your inner self to any extra expertise you might have. Similarly, engage in special interest groups and profession-advising opportunities presented at your med school whenever possible.

    Other tips to excel in medical students are

  • Gave go-to shorthand notes for exams.
  • Make lists and figures to help with memorization.

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!

Ann Ilaria Mayrhofer
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.
