@itsmelanieloe: If I could go back to the beginning of medical school, I would start studying bugs and drugs SO much earlier. 🦠💊 Not by memorizing hundreds of antibiotics and microorganisms overnight, but by learning just ONE bug and ONE drug a day, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for the first few months. That’s it. Small, manageable study sessions that build on each other over time. Microbiology and pharmacology are HUGE parts of medical school and the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK. And looking back, I think this approach would have made studying so much less overwhelming for me. Med students, how are you studying bugs and drugs? And if you’ve already taken your boards, what’s ONE thing you wish you’d started earlier? 👇 Follow for more medical school study tips, USMLE prep, and lessons I wish I’d learned sooner! #MedicalSchool #USMLEStep1 #USMLEStep2 #Microbiology #Pharmacology
