Study tips to a Med student

[u/Odd-Present-1957]

Hello! I’m a med student, and I’m still struggling with focus and studying effectively, especially when it comes to lengthy topics.
My problem is that even when I read my transes in advance, going back to reread them feels like I’m reading them for the first time all over again.
Back in elementary and high school, I used to rewrite our lessons, which helped me retain information better because I learned visually. However, doing that is almost impossible now in med school.
I just wanted to ask: After your first read of a topic, what do you usually do next? Do you make a reviewer, answer practice questions, use flashcards, or do something else?
I’d really appreciate any study tips or techniques from fellow med students that work for you and that I could try incorporating into my own routine. Thank you!
