Just about finished with the first week of med school and thought I'd share a little bit of the experience. As I'm sure the majority of current med students will attest to, from day one you get hit with a TON of material. For us, we were given 13 biochem lectures that essentially covered all of metabolism. Make no mistake that is a TON of material. For the first three days of this week I felt as if I was struggling to swim in the middle of the ocean. For me, I figured out late Wednesday/early Thursday you WILL NOT be able to learn everything. Focusing on the HY material and punting on the extraneous is a must. I'm still feeling a little pre test anxiety (we have an exam Monday) and I have some tweaking to do to my study routine, but the main message I wanted to share was while it seems overwhelming the first few days/weeks you will adjust and get used to the grind. To all my fellow OMS 1's keep grinding and we'll be fine! That's all I've got feel free to share your experiences as well!!
