Who is studying how to study rather than actually studying

1/ Study with "why", actively answer the question 2/ Remember and understand the general,topic instead going to detail 3/ Learn outside the box, connect the knowledge in a different field,subject

Santiago, thank you for creating this extremely unique and value adding video. You are clearly highly intelligent and creative both. Most videos don't go beyond the vomitted ActiveRecall and Spaced Repetition. Thank you brother you've given me ideas and confirmed some I already had.

The real problem related to the first technique is adjustment of learning deepness i mean if you wonder every mechanisms which is behind every single fact you will spend your time

During my m1 year, we were asked a question to pick out a blood vessel that we should palpate to feel out a pulse for a reason I do not recall. We were given a few different choices. I saw one artery and 4 different vessels. I reasoned that the artery must be given priority if our goal is to attempt to feel a pulse. I got it right. 4 of my groupmates did not. They asked me how I got the answer correct and when I explained my reasoning, they wrote it off. One girl then said loudly, “he doesn’t want to share where he got his answer.” Coming from a math and finance background, that’s when I learned that some people in medicine are great at memorizing but are mediocre (at best) at reasoning. Lactic acidosis is caused because it leads to anaerobic resporation since metformin blocks gluconeogenesis in the liver.

I'm so used to any video about studying to just be about how we should use Anki and spaced repetition. It's refreshing to see a video with different techniques that I almost never hear about. I've used obsidian note-taking before, so now I want to learn how to use it better in my last semester of undergrad before medical school starts so I can get a head start in note-organization! I feel like in order to get the big picture with less time, you could also just find a tutor that you can bug with lots of questions or annoy the professors

Very very helpful, I will definitely implement these practices in my studies.

Very useful you just maked my life easier!

Maybe you know that they speak French, German and (pseudo)Dutch (Flamish) in Belgium. So without ever having seen it on a map, you could deduce that it's probably located between those three countries. I totally agree with you that meta-knowledge is often way more important than the specific fact. There is only so much you can learn and by learning generally applicable principles, you are able to "know" so much more than if you only learned the specific

I wonder, could you explain how you can use these methods to review concepts in a systematic manner? For boards review for example? Do you just read the notes from start to finish or is there a specific method you use for spaced repetition?

Your videos are amazing. They would be better if you had the sponsored part have its own section.

Great tips!

I need another like button. The methods you mentioned is what creates scientists, not mere medical students. Thank you!

Hola Santiago! Qué porciento de preguntas correctas crees sea un buen average en UWorld en modo tutor?

hello Sntiago i would like to ask you about cloze deletion type flashcards which serves one peice of info at a time , do u think its better than the Q and A style which serves a bigger pic of info in the same flash card

1st technique But the textbooks are already very detailed if I go into more details that will be too much I think

Hello Santiago! Could you please make a video on how you think AI will impact the medical field and if medicine is at risk of being automated? I would love to see your polished opinion on this topic.Kepp up the good work.

Thank you

Intelligence and quick acquiring knowledge are the true blessing not ever one can understand everything.person who lost it,searching for this type of videos like restless soul.

Hola Santiago ! Podrías por favor hacer un vídeo de como aprendiste inglés o que herramientas o cursos realizaste para mejorarlo? Muchas gracias 😄

In the first technique you want us to know cause of the cause Advantages More comprehension More memorization Disadvantages It will take time Question how to know how deep I should go?

Red socks of destiny? i'm curious

So basically this is an infomercial for this app

i say this to people all the time and no one believes me or takes it seriously. understanding > memorizing. you'll always remember what you understand over what you memorized.

This techniques can be useful, but I have a problem with the first. The problem is this: question only the "why" of the thing don't permite to evaluate the true of that thing. Is how say I will study why Moon afect to the Cancers without question if the astrology is correct, or why the marxism is correct without question if the colectivism is correct or incorrect. Maybe, question first "this is true or false?" or something how that, and after the "why", could be better, incluse if only with the "why" the student can improve his memory. Good "luck" to everyone that search to improve the study capacities.

So for the first teqnique, what if i don't get the answer from the "why" question. Like i just spend my whole time for one question. I always get stuck. Can you give me some advice?

Once i loosed logic to reason, i once failed a question of what is the distance of tge meckels diverticulum from the ileocecal valve, i wrote 2inches instead of 2 feets and unfortunately, the two options were at my mind but my logic defined feets being a huge distance😢😢😢, then opted fir 2 inches

The first principle is how I made a connection between type 1 diabetes and the Bubonic Plague

This is exactly what i did in med school and i always thought i am doing it wrong

Why are there so many learning youtubers that all did medical school? Are medical students such a good target group for learning courses?

I don't have a laptop I just have a tab how do I use scrintal

I don’t get it why can some people Jsut read it and know everything on the page. Or some people used to be able to do that and then can’t anymore after ptsd etc etc ????

wow this is how my mind works...i thought i was just procrastinating getting sidetracked lol...i would down myself bc of this

Well, I usually do reasoning, but in fact, I usually I forget the reasoning I made 😅. I have no clue on how to solve this situation

Yea

Absolutely agree with you I was always the guy who has good memory in certain things but bad at studies and ever since I got in Physiotherapy school (we have medical subjects and go to medical college in India) I realised that I never had a study problem I had an interest problem I didn't hate chemistry, I hated equations because i didn't understand them, I didn't hate Physics, I hated derivations. I loved Biology because I understood it. The reason didn't understand those things was because I didn't think I needed them so the lack of motivation was because there was a lack of need to achieve a task in my head. When I entered PT (I didn't take med-school because I wanted the easier path) I realised that med school subjects are not like mugging up 200 Physics derivations or Organic and Inorganic chemistry, It made sense to learn that information and I did it with ease. People were surprised why I didn't take medicine and I asked myself the same thing but here I am now and I have chosen a path and I tend to stay on it.

funny that i knew you’d talk about ww2 when you mentioned belgium and realized that’s how i remember which ones belgium and which ones the netherlands

I wish these videos would be without a sales pitch. Becomes less trustworthy with the salesman aspect

So boring....they are all selling something....

Many things are unuseful. That s true

Some interesting concepts, but it’s basically an ad for Scrintal

this video will help no one in med school its too unrealistic

Ain't nobody got time for that

Is he the one in crush course?

This is confusing. Can you simplify more?

Hi sir I'm Neeraj Kumar I'm having problem in remembing information from first aid

Hola!!! Porfavor me podrias quitar de esta duda? Como aplicas tus metodos con un idioma??? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello sir I have a question about uworld Do i need to do random vs un random mood or subject specific random or whole qbank in random mood

Thank you Dr Ofenmu for the time you took to make the best herbal medication and also give me the best treatment ever , you are a lifesaver , I'm happy I came across your channel

I have bad memories and can't cram so use elons learning techniques from childhood

Do you have links for your keyboard and monitor?

what is your natural IQ?

Most tips are awesome but are kinda useless having Learning disabilities and low working memory. I for example have them so everything I learn most of it doesn't get processed. I haven't found a solution for it yet It's debilitating...

Elon 2:26

logseq does the same thing as scrintal and has better integration with other resources like anki

I did not like it all of them are related to sponsors and applications .

Ok so if you're going to do a promotional video just use the appropriate title. The fact that you took time from people's day to display app features instead proven memory methods is why i would never ever download this app.

Lost me at 2:40. I don’t think anyone should take advice from Elon Musk. I definitely won’t.

can someone summarise this video?

This technique never works for me, and i am the negative comment you were looking for..

useless information and emotionless presenter only based on advertisement. haha whole video makes no sense

talking shit trash too much.

Why are there so many learning youtubers that all did medical school? Are medical students such a good target group for learning courses?
