If children learned this process at school before they started to learn things, the intellectual level of the next generations would multiply exponentially.
You're not only teaching how to learn things. You're teaching how to think smart. Don't stop. The world needs this kind of knowledge.
Santiago AQ....a national treasure. Protect him at ALL costs!!!! Seriously, a hidden gem! Thank you for all you do for us medical students! And yes definitely MUST have a follow up video to this one, that helps with actual medical school exams.
We need the continuation of this topic 🤞🧠!!!
Where were you when I started school lol. This would have been so helpful from the start
You amazed me with the virus incubation period example. So simple yet I never even thought it could be analyzed like that. Please keep the tips coming
Absolutely agree that it's so essential to understand and make sense of things. I used to do that with every subject but somehow lost it along the way in medical school. Please continue to make quality content and share with us your methods and insights.
Same here
Every word coming out of the mouth should be imprinted deep into our brains. Man, you are transforming the way of studying in thousands of students. I am impatiently waiting for your next video.
Yes, please make such a video. Because for exams, we have a short time and layering, u believe, requires not only time but also patience.
So, yes!!! 🖐️
Memorisation by reasoning.
You put it so clearly, so reasonable
Thank you, great teacher!
I wish I could rent your brain when learning microbiology 😂
I am Always interested in learning more from you regarding learning medicine, it is not a stretch to state that your breakdown of the learning process is useful in every field, not just medicine, please continue to enlighten us with your brilliant insights. Thank you and all the best.
Revolutionizing the way we learn. Thanks a ton.
Correlation between the topics at its best.
Was looking forward to this video and I must say it fulfilled my expectations, love hearing your take on learning
i'm loving these constant uploads !!
Hi Santiago I love your videos!! By the way you can’t even imagine how much I was looking forward to this videooo! Thank youu☺️
Amazing as always Santiago
Santi! I loved the video... Waiting for the next related to this topic in particular. Thanks for the advice! 😊
Such invaluable advice for making connections that allow you to think of medicine dynamically. Helps so much for integrating concepts. Can’t thank you enough Santiago, you are incredible.
wow never thought of these techniques ever before to help me study and remember better in medicine
you are genius !!
very excited to the next video
This is amazing thanks - finally a fresh perspective on understanding medicine!
I've found you six days ago.and from that day I started watching all of your videos.these are so helpful for medical students...thank you..
Hola, Santi! Excelente video. Gracias por compartir conocimientos tan importantes como estos. Te deseo lo mejor en tu futuro.
Oh man you brought me back to my childhood with that Spy Kids snippet 💯
Great movie!)))

Amazing and helpful content .
Thankyou for sharing your strategies it helps a lot
Amazing video !!! Great teachings !!
Thank you, I'm very grateful to you for this information
This is brilliant. Great synthesis of learning sciences.
Santiago. You are awesome 🤜🤛
I’m almost done with I’m in class blocks, but I’d greatly appreciate the video on how to integrate this with in class learning. Btw, you’re a good mine for med school students!
If this system of layering is not addressed in books like first aid... You can write your own book summary using this concept and publish it.
Really really useful tips. Thanks 😊👍
Excellent video my friend! This should be thaght in the begging of school man! I repeat excellent video, keep the good work.
Yes plsmake the next video dude!
So glad to have found this channel. He has the most fool-proof tips !
Waiting for balancing that with learning in medical school and would like a real example of how that process work if that okay.
Great great video btw
BROO so underrated!! Btw, I love your accent!! Aspiring med student, Im currently in my lv 2 of nursing school as pre requisite. So thank you
That is definitely awesome!!!
SUPER HELPFUL!! Tysm
really amazing work.
A gem 💎 of a video

Really practical
Awesome 👌
heyy your videos have helped in a great level from learning how to study to understanding all the difficult subjects in med science, id like to ask you what method did you use to study pathology cause its a little bit of a chaos... Thank you so much for all of your help!
Seconde msg ,thank you for all what you do to help us
U r reaching 100k soon
You´re amazing
Can you do a video that you are studing and applying all this teqnics
Do that video, I'm interested!
Thank you! this is so helpful as I'm reviewing micro/Immuno this weak for board prep. Can you please share how to integrate across subjects?
Yes! I'll make a video on that topic soon
Thank for your amazing video ❤️ Can you tell me or post a video about what subject should we study first in medicine. For example, semiology , physiopathology and pathology, which one should we study first , or we should study all of them at the same time?
Awesome
If you have physiology tips and strategy for exams, that would help a lot!
Santiago challenging All RUclipsrs be like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
He is *GOAT*
Hi Santiago!! Can you please please make a video on using USMLE QBanks as a studying resource?? I’m struggling with my qbanks I don’t know how to LEARN from my mistakes, I tried making anki cards but they build up way toooo fast! Maybe like a video of you showing the sequence of steps you did to learn from the qbanks? I’m asking this here because I didn’t see it in the word document. THANK U!!
Hey Gala! I'll make sure to address that point in a future video! For now, i'll encourage you to ask yourself with each question: is there any way in which I can use (not necessarily remember. "Use" I think is the correct word) this information in a future question by just thinking logically? In other words can I get to answer these types of questions correctly without needing pure raw memory?... If the answer is yes just focus on comprehending. If the answer is no, then maybe do some flashcards. But be aware that most topics repeat themselves more than once in qbanks so if you're seeing a particular topic popping up all the time, feel free to suspend your flashcards on the subject. That should alone helps to keep your anki deck to a manageable level
Can you make a video about how to do well on in house exams?
Bro that spy kids reference is legendary!
Waiting for the video integrates both laying system and exams
Thank you for the video, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video about high yield topics for step 2 just like you did for step 1..
I have step 2 exam in 4-5 months and I keep forgetting things because the topics are just too many PLEASE!
Yes Terquise, I'm preparing everything for shooting the video!
Do you know how many diseases we have to know about in the First Aid? 300, 400, 500?
🔥
U too gud 🔥
❤️❤️❤️
You’re so special
So how do you organize these layers? Do you write them down as notes since for me thats very time consuming
There's not a single approach to how to learn these layers. It really varies depending on the specific subject. For a given topic I might use anki to first remember the names of everything, and then take notes to organize my thoughts and create the systems and hierarchies. For other topics just reading the book, without notes or flashcards, just using critical thinking may be all that's needed. I'm planning on making some study-vlogs to give some examples and answer this question more thoroughly
@@SantiagoAQ Thank you so much for this! Im currently in taking a GI course and im trying to integrate new ways to study and your ways are proving very effective and more fun than before, please keep doing these!
Humor and facts
Sweet combo 😆😁😟🤣
Please make the video university examsss
Do you find that many students rush through information too quickly in an attempt to get through it all instead of learning with the proper depth?
Totally. It is the puzzle of medicine: there's just too much to learn and everything could be "important" depending on the scenario. Is understandable how many students get lost and either sway into trying to learn very few topics thoroughly or a lot of topics superficially. Both extremes are unpractical in my opinion, and one should generally strive to learn the most subjects as possible with as much depth as needed to make sense of them. The problem is figuring out what the hell does that even mean lol
@@SantiagoAQ I have been trying to figure this perennial problem out for a few years. I am not a medical student (even though I took pre-med coursework), but I am about to go to Law and Business school in the States. The same problem applies there. I truly find your content to be the best information out here; I have spent time on most all of the RUclips channels (Ali Abdaal, Kevin Juball, etc), websites, and books (Make it Stick, Learning How to Learn, etc) which surround the topic of proper learning, and I am (honestly) not trying to flatter you with the compliment. Figuring out when to memorize versus when to build a skeleton is difficult. For instance, in a prior video, you mentioned that you need to focus as much as you possibly can on finding a heuristic to unlock deduction and induction. However, in this video you mentioned that you might spend a day or more just memorizing the language for a topic. How do these two things fit together? It seems like on one hand, you are focusing on memorization while on the other you are focusing on understanding. I am trying to apply to this to a subject which is not medicine. You are a Jordan Peterson fan, so let me use his book "Maps of Meaning" as an example because it is similar to a theoretical text. If you were to try and work through his book, you'd be faced with a heavy cognitive load due to the vast amount of new terminology and concepts. Would you begin by figuring out the important terms and hammering them into your memory, or would you begin by creating a skeleton and learn the terms in context of the whole?
If you'd like, I'd love to discuss these topics through email (GDyess461675@student.wmcarey.edu). However, if you are too busy, I totally understand. Thank you for the content, and keep up the great work.
Thanks a million. I just started 2nd year medicine and i want to start on a good foot, what advice do you have for me pls?
But how?
Hi SANTIAGO
you say in previous vedio that : use the first aid as a chick list not as a Source
so can you please tell us what all other Source's are
because we almost all don't use other source's than first aid
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi SD I think BNB, Pathoma and Qbanks (UW + AMBOSS) are more than plenty to get a good grasp around all the subjects and cover everything said in First Aid
You sound to me a little bit like JBP xD. I wonder if you listen to him, I think he is great. Anyways, thank you for your content. Keep it up.

Sir I became a big fan of you today
Pls wish me to Crack my usmle
You’ll do great Ashrith, best of luck 🤞
Is that ok if study every single line
Like how u guys skipped the info ,icant
Please add the arabic translation
This video could have been in more detail into 3 parts
Unable to find you insta id :( great content though!
a lil off topic, but you’re so cute!!
Why on earth am i getting such recommendations when I'm already on my final year... where were u before.. or YT didn't know i was a med student 🤦♀️
Language as the foundation is true but also a pain in the ass, especially when studying pharmacology, when their names are so freaking hard to memorize, and diseases named after people like Neimann-Pick, Tay-Sachs, like, why make medicine even harder for us? 😭😫
Firstt
Spaced repetition our Lord and Savior 😂😂😂 maaan
😂😂😂
"Do you have time to learn about spaced repetition, Our Lord and Savior?" Dude hahahahahaha!
