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 experienced the opposite. Im in pre med, everyone hated subjects that are pure memorization such as bacteriology and histopath (the stains😭). We live off connecting dots and everything must have a rationale for us to memorize quickly.
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
I totally agree with you. I am an old-school type of learner where I don't use techniques like picmonics because that is just a silly and shallow way of memorizing details. Instead, I use Chat GPT extensively to ask a lot of "why" questions, and I find that sometimes the most simple questions have the most interesting answers that really makes sense (i.e. the term biliverdin is named so because the substance produce green pigments before it is broken down to bilirubin which is more yellow) . As another example, in order to help me learn all the bacteria that causes diseases in medical school, I start with asking why are those bacteria are called the way that they are called, and knowing why helps me get familiarized with those bugs and help me form a foundation for learning about their characteristics, etc...
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
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.
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?
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.
I remember in high school this guy who used to connect junior high school biology all the way to senior high school topics when asked questions. This used to intrigue most of us thus we saw this guy as a genius. For me although this method is best the technique, ut ain't mutually exclusive. Memorization is needed in inorder to fill in the gaps thus the two are symbiotic in a way though 1st principle technique is superior.
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
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.
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.
@@ebuhkary well, diagnostic images have significantly reduced the depth of the typical physical exam. Decades ago cardiologists spent years training their ears to differentiate between a high pitch holosystolic crescendo murmur and a mesosystolic low pitch murmur. Now they just need to detect the murmur and get an echo. Nowadays almost no one spends the 10 minutes it used to take to auscultate a patient, and even if they did they would still rely more on the results of the echo. Same thing with surgeons and CT scans. Abolish is not the right word, but new tech does make q bunch of practices “obsolete”
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?
I used to be able to just instantly retain anything I read, but after covid I'm struggling. The increase in human errors I make per day is seriously terrifying
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?
What he meant was probably if you can't "memorise 100 words description" try to find how the thing functions, so your brains will know how it works and you'll write the description yourself by knowing how the thing functions. Example could be a recipe. Lets say you are a beginner cook, Instead of memorising X amount of words you know that you gotta season ur food and cook it on a pan, your brains fill the rest.
Also that sometimes happens when you don't have sufficient background knowledge that's is why you get stuck. Which brings you back to the point that you should understand the basics which inturn gives you the frameworks to reason on
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
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
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.
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 ????
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
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.
I think this works perfectly for sciences where there are concepts. At least you will have fundamentals upon which loads of information are built onthereby forming the frameworks for this kind of learning. Learning languages entails mainly learning facts which memorization works best especially grammar. For literature I earnestly think that this technique will be applicable.
Who is studying how to study rather than actually studying

100% agreed

Bruhhh GNGS😅
Agreed. Even in paramedic school, they have attempted to switch us into thinking like a “clinician” instead of “technician”. So, reasoning is huge.
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
Yeah that’s true
Absolutely true
It won't be effective and efficient
We do not have always time
exactly. I can't figure out how to manage it.

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.
The question is how to understand complex subjects such as pathophysiology for example
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?
Of course everything good takes time.
I wonder how to know how deep to go, as well.
Another thing is, many things in medicine are not explained so you literally don't know why.. That's what I dont like and have a harder time to recall

I need another like button. The methods you mentioned is what creates scientists, not mere medical students. Thank you!
1st technique But the textbooks are already very detailed if I go into more details that will be too much I think
The first principle is how I made a connection between type 1 diabetes and the Bubonic Plague

Try to use punctuation, if you are trying to express ideas to others in a manner that is comprehensible. You will be surprised at the results.
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.
Risk of being automated? Risk?? Its like saying the risk of ultrasound will abolish the use of clinical examination

Very useful you just maked my life easier!
This is exactly what i did in med school and i always thought i am doing it wrong
Your videos are amazing. They would be better if you had the sponsored part have its own section.
I wish these videos would be without a sales pitch. Becomes less trustworthy with the salesman aspect
I used to be able to just instantly retain anything I read, but after covid I'm struggling. The increase in human errors I make per day is seriously terrifying
Very very helpful, I will definitely implement these practices in my studies.
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
Ain't nobody got time for that

Some interesting concepts, but it’s basically an ad for Scrintal
wow this is how my mind works...i thought i was just procrastinating getting sidetracked lol...i would down myself bc of this

So basically this is an infomercial for this app
Many things are unuseful. That s true
Try to put what you study into reality, that way you will memories it. If you cant picture it you wont memories it.
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
i read something then after few seconds i forget what i was reading
I don't have a laptop I just have a tab how do I use scrintal
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
Great tips!
So boring....they are all selling something....

Do you have links for your keyboard and monitor?
what is your natural IQ?
