Resource Review: Learning Strategies for Success in Medical School
As I search for material related to what I want to share with you, I keep finding resources I wish I had seen while I was in undergrad.
Learning Strategies For Success in Medical School is a 49-page grant-funded PDF guidebook published by Pamela Houghton DeVoe, M.A., Curriculum Development Consultant at Hispanic and Native American Center of Excellence. While the book was written specifically for students of University of New Mexico School of Medicine, most of the material is applicable to students of all medical schools and should be required reading for ALL pre-med and first-year medical students! Those of us who have already begun will probably benefit from reading this guidebook, also. It’s emphasis is on understanding our own learning style and adopting appropriate learning strategies with specific suggestions. It addresses some educational psychology for adult learners including characteristics of medical school and how to approach each for successful outcome.
Life balance, stress, spirituality and time management are also addressed.
The guidebook also offers motivational and inspirational tidbits, such as the quote, “Once you believe you are the agent of your success, you begin to behave in ways that will produce that success.”
Worth a thorough read!
