The Complete Guide on How To Study Microbiology in Med School

Greetings! After the hit that was The Complete Guide to Pharmacology and it's prequel The Complete Guide to Pathology, your favorite med student in the whole world is back again with a new post. It's the same familiar format but a brand new subject.

Yes. You read the title. It's going to be Microbiology today. It's one of those subjects that feels like a bizarre mix of pharmacology and pathology if you asked me. There is logic and structure to microbiology, but there is also memorization, although not at the same intensity as pharmacology. Nevertheless, it's enough to make things a little daunting to the average med student.

The Complete Guide on How To Study Pharmacology in Med School

We're back again with another installment to the "how to study in med school" series. In case you haven't read the previous posts, you can go read up on how to study pathology in med school, ten tips for studying anatomy and how to ace your viva. Again, I would like to point out that I'm not a perfect student and that these methods are not applicable to every student.

I write these posts so that you can have a bit of an exposure about the different styles and methods of studying, because everyone has their own style that helps them get things done with more efficiency. If you are currently studying and not getting the kind of output you are expecting, you need to stop and reconfigure your study style. I am a strong believer in studying efficiently instead of forcing my way through content and eventually burning myself out.

This is an especially important principle in med school as well. Med school is a marathon, not a race. You need to plan out your miles and make sure you don't get lost or tired or injured in the middle of it. Once you understand this, a lot of things get easier. You should stop stressing over trying to get a seemingly un-achievable goal of maintaining an A+ and stay focused on the end goal.

Anyway! Enough rambling. Let's move on to the actual discussion.
