A complete guide to excelling in the basic science years of medical school, with sections on:
- Overview of Medical School
- Lifestyle and Time Management
- Motivation and Mental Health
- Overall Basic Science Strategies
- Overall Basic Science Resources
- Subject Guides
Each subject guide lays out an effective overall approach to the subject, outlines top resources to use, links you to clutch YouTube channels and videos, and, perhaps most coveted of all, provides unique and invaluable content-specific mnemonics and/or tips.
Q: Who is this book designed for?
A: All medical students in their basic science years, as well as all forthcoming/aspiring medical students looking to prepare themselves for medical school. Some sections of this book are especially helpful for early, new, and forthcoming medical students (e.g. Medical School Overview, Lifestyle and Time Management, etc.). The subject guides, however, contain brilliant tips, explanations, and mnemonics that will benefit all, including experienced students simply looking to review for a particular subject or exam (e.g. USMLE Step 1).
Q: Is this book like First Aid for the USMLE Step 1?
A: No, it's entirely different. First Aid presents all high-yield information for almost all major basic science topics and diseases; this book, on the other hand, teaches you how to approach each subject, offers optimal strategies to use, and provides unique mnemonics and tricks. The book was written with the assumption that students will be concurrently using First Aid. As such, it avoids repeating things, including mnemonics, that are in First Aid as much as possible, so as to keep your studies as efficient as possible. The book also contains sections addressing matters of lifestyle, motivation and mental health, and study strategies for the basic sciences.
