This is How I Memorized 98% of Everything in Medical School

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.

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.

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

Do you have links for your keyboard and monitor?

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

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

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

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?

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

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 ????

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

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.

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.

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

Who is studying how to study rather than actually studying

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

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

Is he the one in crush course?

Many things are unuseful. That s true

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

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

what is your natural IQ?

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

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

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

Yea

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

Obsidian is an alternative and free app and you will only have to pay if you want to sync across devices

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

1. WHY does this happen? Why does ___ lead to _____? (Question why everything happened for better understanding)

2. Learn as much as you can about a topic and the big picture (actually understanding a topic=memorization). Learn the big patterns of a topic (how can you apply this topic in real life, potential situations?)

*Recommendation: use screentool

*3. Connecting outside the box (figure out how to apply a concept in real life). Learn this method through practice. Connect concepts to things familiar to you (scene in movies/books, interesting stories, logical reasoning, etc)

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

So basically this is an infomercial for this app

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

talking shit trash too much.

Great tips!

Try to put what you study into reality, that way you will memories it. If you cant picture it you wont memories it.

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...

it is so damn clear that his guy is eventually an Ni domiant

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

i read something then after few seconds i forget what i was reading

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.

This guys technique is not for me.

Without questioning the Box, that is definitiv by interest of pharma- and hospitals you'll still end Update as a antihumane Doktor, ignoring every higher knowledge.
Either offend the tempory pharmapattern - or quit!
Chinese medicine operates along the best principles already!

The problem with this and the truth is that we don’t have the time to figure out the why, nor are we taught the why. I want to know the why, but American american education doesnt allow it with their mass dumps of facts vs an emphasis on the why. I’m a pharmacist. I once had 12 intense exams in 1 week. There is no time for “why”, and that’s the reality.

I have just realised that I have alredy beeing applying these three techniques. Even, I have just figured out a new strategy, rememeber concepts from other concepts, which means for example that with a war I can remeber sth I studied, as a link.
