Note-taking styles and learning

Don’t give up the outside activities that’ll make you a better doc As Dave has observed many times, medicine will take everything you have, if you allow it to. What this means is that you have to carve out time for your own interests, whether you’re a physician or a medical student. These are the things that not only keep you sane–an outlet for all the intensity that the study and practice of medicine has to offer–but they can even make you better at surgery or how positively your patients view you. M1s Ben Cooper, Reese Rosenmeyer, Arielle Weber, and Reed Adajaar talk about their hobbies, what they get out of them as hard-working medical students, where they prioritize them in their lives, and why it’s sometimes even easier to enjoy them in med school than it was as undergrads. Dave offers some findings on how having outside interests makes doctors great. And the crew answers a question from Nicole, a mother of three little ones and military wife who, at the ripe old age of 35, is contemplating how she can pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor.
