Study tips for medical students

Richmond, Anna; Cranfield, Thomas; Cooper, Nicola

Abstract

Studying and revising for exams is a major part of medical school success, yet students do not always receive coaching in how best to learn or revise. Many students begin by using the same techniques that worked for them at school, such as revisiting material and making notes. Research has shown, however, that these techniques alone have a limited impact on long term knowledge retention and academic success
