Shadowing-Übung: How to Study Effectively in Medical School | Study Smart (UK) - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Today we're answering a long -waited and requested video by some of you guys.
2
I'd love to see a video about study tips and how you study in med school.
3
Please share more of how you actually study, which resources you use for your exam, how can you manage all the medical information without forgetting them.
4
I replied to these comments and promised that I would do a video about it, so this is it.
5
And these are the timestamps if you want to skip to a specific part of the video.
6
Hello if you're new here I'm Zeyha and I'm a fourth year medical student studying in the UK.
7
So through these three years of medical school
8
that I have completed I have changed the way I studied a fair amount of times.
9
It's okay to change your study method and discover what works best for you.
10
I'm doing this video so you can actually learn from my mistakes
11
and start one step ahead and this would be the guide I'd want
12
if I could go to the day I started med school
13
so that I could start using these study methods from day one.
14
Recording voice notes.
15
This is the most underrating study method ever in my opinion but it's my favorite one.
16
My auditory intelligence is a lot more dominant than my visual intelligence.
17
I find it easier to learn and remember information through listening.
18
I found that out through my own trialing and error
19
and also I took an intelligence test when I was in primary school
20
which my school offered to all their students at the time.
21
That's why I do voice notes.
22
These recordings include facts that comes up the most in questions
23
and also sometimes if there is a rhyme or a silly story
24
that helps me remember that information or learn that fact then I add those into the voice recordings as well.
25
Here's a snippet of a recording I took last year.
26
This was on oncology so cancer medicine.
27
Breast cancer tumor marker, most important one
28
that came up it's ca153 three looks like breasts pair of
29
breasts basically i do these voice notes on my iphone on voice memos app
30
and when i listen to it to save time i choose skip silence
31
and i increase the playback speed to two times or four times
32
and the biggest advantage to voice notes is
33
that you can listen to it wherever and while you do other stuff
34
so you don't have to focus on it and read like you would for visual notes.
35
I usually listen to it when I do my skincare before I go to sleep
36
or when I'm on the bus on my way to placement.
37
It's actually extra helpful if you get car sick like me
38
when you read stuff on the bus because with voice notes you don't have
39
that issue it doesn't cause car sickness and you can listen to it when you exercise or wherever and whenever you want.
40
It's amazing, it's my favourite one.
41
Do you not buy textbooks?
42
I know this might sound controversial and maybe you're used to using textbooks
43
and highlighting them when you were at school
44
while you were preparing for your A -levels or any university entrance exams
45
but save your money on that because most medical schools
46
and universities actually provide you a free library account in
47
which there are electronic and physical versions of any medical book you would need and that is if you would need any.
48
To be honest, I'm in my fourth year of medical school
49
and I don't remember the last time I used my library account to look up something in a medical book.
50
Most medics actually save their money on those textbooks and use it for their subscription of question banks, which have their own textbooks.
51
Which also brings us to our next point.
52
Subscribing to question banks.
53
This depends on how your medical school tests your knowledge.
54
So whether they do short answer exam questions or multiple choice exam questions, and most of the time, like 99 % of the time,
55
that is multiple choice exam questions.
56
I know that through my own experience from my own medical school, but also from my other friends who go to different medical schools.
57
So for that reason, I've subscribed to two different question banks, which have their own online textbooks, which are PassMed and PassTest.
58
For each of them, I paid £25 yearless subscription fee.
59
There are also the question banks
60
that I know some of my other medic friends use such
61
as a popular one is Quizlet In the online textbooks of those question banks you find information about the diseases
62
that you learn So everything starting from symptom of a disease to management of a disease
63
And if you get a question wrong, they have the explanation of the answers just below the question as well
64
Which is very helpful and what i'm going to say now is a cliche I know
65
but it's true The more you do practice questions, the more you see different styles of questions It will stick better to your head
66
and you'll actually learn to apply that medical knowledge into questions
67
Because you might know a medical fact and if the question asks you
68
that fact in a simple way You'd get it right medical school exams.
69
They ask you that fact in such a weird way in questions It literally feels like a puzzle
70
you don't even realize that's what they're asking.
71
That's why it's important to get used to different styles of questions.
72
For example, they usually give you a symptom of a disease
73
and ask you to identify that disease through the symptoms and then ask you the management of that.
74
So it's like double question in one.
75
So they want straight away give you the disease and ask you the management of that.
76
That's too simple.
77
My next point is note taking is a waste of time but not voice notes.
78
I don't use paper notebooks or take notes anymore.
79
I've been there before.
80
I literally made my own textbook which looked like a work of art
81
but I realized once I stopped that and used that time to practice questions and focus on only high yield testable information,
82
I scored a lot higher in exams because I had
83
so much more time to focus on what I actually needed to focus.
84
It can be scary at the start and you can get FOMO
85
when you see your other medic friend having all that pages
86
and pages of study notes but actually this is the most time effective decision I've ever made and I stand by that.
87
I know it can feel tempting to write everything down and make it your own, make it pretty and I know it's a big change but I'd like to challenge you to stop writing your notes down,
88
use that time to do practice questions and if you want to read notes, use notes that is already made for you, for example from the textbooks in question banks.
89
Watching lectures can be useless.
90
I usually don't watch lectures in medical school anymore guys because I don't find them super helpful.
91
There were times that I would do pre -reading before lectures and go through the lecture content ahead of time.
92
I did do that in the first two years of medical school but I don't do that anymore.
93
There's no time to do that and I realise it's not worth my time anymore.
94
I first started watching lecture recordings in two times speed
95
and now I completely stopped watching them because with the time
96
that I watch lecture recordings I can do practice questions
97
and I realize lectures do not really help me increase my exam score.
98
In the first two years of med school all I did was watching lectures over
99
and over again and writing notes from the powerpoints
100
and my scores weren't as good as it is right now
101
because it just took so much time and in the end I realized it's just not worth that time.
102
Sometimes but rarely they can be helpful.
103
That is only for you to put the knowledge into concepts.
104
For example if the teaching professor is talking about a patient
105
that they treated themselves and how they did it then it sticks better with real -life stories.
106
But you can make an information stick to your head by testing yourself as well.
107
It's a quicker way to do it than watching an hour -long lecture
108
but you know you be the judge of that yourself and see if it's a good use of your time.
109
And finally the last point is anki cards, making anki cards.
110
Guys I started recording this video at 7am in the morning and now it's half past one I think.
111
Yeah it's half past one.
112
If there are light changes and stuff in between clips you know why.
113
So I said writing notes is a waste of time for me
114
but making anki cards is an easy and effective way to write a sentence
115
or two and make a question out of it.
116
Usually how I make Anki cards is that I split my laptop screen into two, I have the Anki app on one side and PassMed on the other.
117
To keep the Anki card to minimum I only make cards
118
if I get a question wrong or on the most testable information to remember that I make a question out of it.
119
Typically whichever block that we're in at med school at the time, for example let's say
120
I would do questions specifically on pediatrics block on the question bank then I would make Anki cards simultaneously.
121
I have a specific tag for each block like cardio, respiratory, urology as you can see on the screen.
122
Then ideally I review cards every day so I don't have any do cards left by the end of the day.
123
Obviously this has not been the case since I started my summer holidays
124
but I'm hoping to catch up on all of them before the start of the next academic year
125
and also organize my Anki cards as well.
126
Some extra resources for you guys.
127
There are usually links to videos about
128
that disease on the side of the questions on Parsmed but
129
if there isn't any then I go on YouTube
130
and watch a video on it just to get a concept of that information and actually understand it.
131
I especially like osmosis and xerotofinals just to supplement my understanding
132
or I use electronic textbook of clinical medicine by Clark and Kumar.
133
So I hope you found this useful.
134
Please consider subscribing.
135
I'd be so happy to have you here.
136
Until next time, take care of yourself and I'll see you in the next one.
137
Bye!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
