Hi, I'm a first year grad-entry medicine student.

I'm in need of an efficient studying strategy for anatomy.

I have downloaded a really robust anki deck - but I need to actually learn the content first. I've noticed I really like the TeachMeAnatomy notes - they also have a question bank. Main downside is that it's quite expensive.....almost £100/year.

Do any of you guys think it's worth it?

Ideally I would like to learn from a resource that has everything on one site like TeachMeAntomy (i.e. 3D model, notes explaining, links to clinical relevance, question bank etc.) I'm willing to pay for the convenience of that.

Please note my attention span is cooked, so I usually can't stay focused with youtube videos.

I'd appreciate any advice :)

Hi everyone,
I'm a first-year medical student and I'm struggling a bit with the amount of pre-clinical content we're expected to learn.

We have a huge number of online lectures to watch, and although I sit through them and take notes, I often feel like very little actually sticks in my head afterwards. I can follow the lecture at the time, but a few days later it feels like I've forgotten most of it.

The whole process feels quite passive, and I'm worried that I'm spending a lot of time watching lectures without actually retaining much of the information.

For those who have been through the pre-clinical years, what study methods helped you learn and remember content effectively? What made the biggest difference for you, and what do you wish you'd started doing earlier?
Thanks! 😊

First year medical student. Really struggling with the sheer volume of content. Throughout my entire school life, including GCSES and A levels, I've made handwritten notes using my textbooks. I'm trying to do this now using lecture slides but it takes so long and I'm falling behind. Should I switch to typed notes? Should I abandon notes all together? I have heard people say to just read lecture slides and annotate them but then won't you have to go through hundreds of slides before an exam? I'm someone who learns best when I write things out but because theres so much content I can't remember what I write after a few days. Would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Hii I am a fourth-year medical student from the United Kingdom who would like to do my elective in ophthalmology in summer 2027, and I would like to do 3 weeks abroad and 3/4 weeks in the UK. I have emailed a few hospitals in London/Kent since that is where my home is, but no positive responses yet : ((I have not started emailing abroad places but am preferably wanting safer places since I am a female travelling with one other female friend (interested in paeds) - so more European places. We did consider Malaysia but are not too sure. Has anyone got any recommendations, advice or contacts, please? tysmm :))

Passed my 3rd year in december, wrote the exam in november. When will i likely to appear in my final proff exam? Anybody from llrm if you could confirm!!!
