As a medical student, it is not enough to just study hard. Studying in a smart manner is the key to success in medical school.
Besides, one out of five of the important skills for medical students are effective studying. So let’s see how to achieve a productive studying method!
“MURDER” : A Study System
• Mood
-Set a positive mood for yourself to study in.
-Select the appropriate time, environment and attitude.
• Understand
-Mark any information you don’t understand in a particular unit.
-Keep a focus on one unit or a manageable group of exercises.
• Recall
After studying the unit, stop and put what you have learned into your own words.
• Digest
-Go back to what you did not understand and reconsider the information.
-Contact external expert sources (e.g. other books or an instructor) if you still cannot understand it.
• Expand
In this step, ask three kinds of questions concerning the studied material:
1.If I could speak to the author, what questions would I ask or what criticism would I offer?
2.How could I apply this material to what I’m interested in?
3.How could I make this information interesting and understandable to other students?
• Review
-Go over the material you’ve covered,
-Remember what strategies helped you understand and/or retain information.
-Apply these strategies to your future studying.
Hope this method will help us studying better in the future, InsyaAllah. May Allah bless all of you and pouring with all the success in this world and Hereafter.
