Top Tips for Second Year
Our top tips series continues! This time with Emmanuella and William offering their best tips for our current Second Year Student Doctors to make the most of their studies.
Their top tips were:
📚 Know your content - most of what you will cover in Second Year is an extension of the knowledge you have covered during your First Year of the course. The focus will shift to what happens when the body goes wrong, so knowing how it works to begin with is vital!
📝Plan your revision and your notes - you won't have a break before your exams at the end of the year & you will continue to reference knowledge you cover in this section of the course during your Third Year and beyond. Make sure you review content you have covered regularly & get into the habit of having a system that lets you find notes easily.
🔗 Make use of Synoptic Links - pathologies will often impact across several organs at once & what you learn in one area will often apply to another. Remember the body is an organ system - it will help you consolidate what you have learned, but it can also help inform the new areas you cover.
🔍 Research and Scholarship - with everything else going on, it can be easy to forget your Research & Scholarship project during the course of the year. Finding time to give it an hour or two each week will make it much more manageable and means you will either have it completed before submission or very close to. Little and often is best!
Keep an eye out for future tips & feel free to share your own! Thanks again to Emmanuella and William 🙏
