Although our lives may be full of extracurricular activities, being a student of medicine is the priority right now. The difficult bit is that while we were all experts in the field that we came from, we’re still learning to become experts in medicine. As a result you may find that things aren’t going quite as smoothly as they used to. For tips on how to keep up your “A” game, there is the School Matters section. Here you’ll find tips on simple things like where to go if you have a question, all the way up to deciding if your study style needs a complete overhaul. Have a look and take what you need. Happy studying.
Getting away from the classroom is exciting, but it can also be a bittersweet experience when you enter a challenging new environment. Thankfully, there are a number of resources to make this transition as smooth as possible – providing information on what you will do and what will be expected of you. To that end, we’ve gathered some resources from the Student Affairs Committee (SAC), Learner Equity & Wellness (LEW), and added a few of our own to complete the picture. There’s a fair bit of work ahead and getting used to call isn’t easy, but don’t forget the basics: keep doing what you love, listen to your body, and take care of yourself.
