โคท ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ as a medical student
โ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐: iโm a brazilian, 22 yo and it took me two and a half years to get into uni. iโm finishing my third year, going to my sixth semester. iโm the representative of my class and vice president of our graduation commission. i try to be the most organize because +
my routine is exhaustive so i always have to do things with antecedence. so, since i know some of you pretend to go to this path i decided to show my routine so you guys can feel how it is to be a medical student. hope you enjoy it 
โ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: it takes 6 years to finish the whole program and itโs like divided in three cycles: basics + clinical + internship. we have class almost everyday during all day, and during the day we have classic classes and the practical classes where +
we can actually practice medicine. we also go to places like hospitals to start to know how our life will be. each subject usually has more than one teacher and we have a lot of exams and paperworks during the semester. i actually spend more time at uni then on my own home.
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐ ๐๐๐: if you guys wants to know something about a specific subject just ask me 
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: iโm really excited to have maternal and child health I bc pediatrics is a specialty iโm thinking about
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ now iโll start posting things like what iโll have for the day or things i have to do 
i have to organize my schedule for the semester bc i like to have in hands what iโm gonna do during the day but iโm tooooo lazy itโs sooooo many classes
first dayyyyy!!! iโm already at uni but in this pic u guys can see that i donโt have enough hands. iโll have digestive system all day
well, i didnโt have โclassโ this morning. our teacher just explained how the semester will work and showed us some interesting videos but at the afternoon... weโll have esophageal trauma
our class actually ended up early even tho we studied two titles during the afternoon then i went to the gym and now iโm trying to organize some things but the first day is always exhausting bc our brains are still a little lazy
prentending that i didnโt stay awake till anos 2am and now i have to stay at uni till probably 6pm... this morning i just had a little introduction about how we should handle patients with issues in the digestive system and now iโm hanging at my friendโs place waiting for lunche
hey!!! so i arrived at home 4 pm 
it was a good day actually, i had 3 different classes with two different teachers but everything about the digestive system. now iโll organize some materials that i got from my vets
it was a good day actually, i had 3 different classes with two different teachers but everything about the digestive system. now iโll organize some materials that i got from my vets
and idk if u guys would like to now but this is how i organize myself during the class: if i have the slides my teacher will use i open it on my computer and on word i write everything down (my thoughts, doubts, what my teacher is saying...)
just out of curiosity... which specialty would u guys give me considering what u know about me (yep these are two pics of me listening to my own heart... i was studying for my semiologyโs exam)
organizing my schedule while watching my showssss, after i finish iโll show u guys
thatโs how my schedule looks like: itโs all the classes, exams iโll have during the semester and itโs A LOT OF classes 
already at uni and totally not ready to have psychiatry all day long i mean itโs a nice subject but sometimes itโs too much
the worst day of my week will probably be monday i didnโt like psychiatry and the teacher is just......... annoyingggggg
i have to read more than 100 pages of the psychiatryโs books for next week class somebody do it for me
pediatrics starts tomorrow imagine how excited i am i canโt wait to have babies as patients

since my wifi is just awful this afternoon iโm gonna go to my dadโs office to watch my classes (i have general surgery today) it will be good bc thereโs nobody there, and i wonโt have my family coming into my room or talking loud so iโll be able to pay attention
i wasnโt able to finish typing my nutritionโs classes today bc they are to big and iโm toooo tired to stay up late but i did a lot today so, gonna go to best, get some rest so i can wake up early, finish this and reaaaaaally start studying bc i have an exam next week
my exam of friday is about the digestive system. we have to study 3 parts: nutrition, medical clinic and surgery. itโs 115 pages plus book, articles... so gonna be tweeting a little less this week 
still didnโt finish my first reading of the whooole content just 2 classes left but gonna start now and try to finish before lunch so at afternoon i can pay attention to the most important parts like treatment and stuff
so my exam of the digestive system was on friday and i got 60/65 what it means i did preeeeetty good. now iโm just doing the activities the teachers from the others subjects are sending 
already did 3/4 of my psychiatryโs homework and this afternoon we have our exam that the teacher just told us about it last night so probably is gonna be something easy
time for my psychiatryโs exam 
i did pretty well this week is light bc we wonโt have classes on thursday and friday iโm just going to relax and watch siren

according to my teacher most of the surgeons are morning persons i mean SIGNS PEOPLEEEE
itโs been really hard to get my shit together in peds/obgyn bc the teachers are so messy they are sending a lot of activities without explaining the subjects so i have to learn 90% by myself.. iโm trying but damn 911 sounds just so much better rn
iโm back!!!!! i have psychiatryโs today and our subjects are eating disorders and personality disorders
iโll finally have a decent pediatricโs class today my day just keeps getting better

finished my second peds/obgynโs exam and i thought iโd be free for the rest of the day but i have two psychiatryโs assignments to do. theyโre due to 5/16 but iโm gonna do it now so i wonโt have to worry about it later 
finished typing my psychiatryโs class and it looks cutie. btw i have an exam this afternoon so i should probably do a little studying 
soooo, i have my second psychiatryโs exam in 20 minutes, just 20 questions so it will probably be really fast and i think iโm gonna start to study digestive system just bc itโs my favorite subject of the semester
finished my exam. it took 30 minutes only bc i was waiting to check my answers with my bff. the best thing about the online classes is the online exam bc u study but. donโt have the pression on your shoulders bc u can look into your materials in any time
have class about autism and ADDH in babies/kids in 20 minutes love it here plus this teacher is really good and so nice
this morning iโm having colorectal cancer and itโs going to be long >>> so this class has 16 pages and my teacher is still on the page 5, its been 1h20 since he started im gonna die istg
now he gave us a 3 MINUTES break his lucky is that heโs veeeery good otherwise i wouldnโt be watching anymore
my class ended at 11:50 and iโm so tired im not even hungry and i have class again at 13:30 istg my brain is melting welcome to med life peopleeeee
my classes from today are over!!!!! but tomorrow will be even more exhausted and i have a lot to do now so my fav thing to do itโs put some show to watch while doing it bc since itโs just typing and organizing wonโt affect my concentration
had classes all day yesterday and today (digestive system) and i just finished the abstract of all classes i have to study to my next exam (123 pages) nowww gonna see the chapters and articles i have to read
does anybody wanna change places?????
ps: these books i won as gifts from my dad bc theyโre really expansive so iโd just read the pdf or got them in the library, the one in the top i won when i was accept, and the other one when i started my clinical rotation
ps: these books i won as gifts from my dad bc theyโre really expansive so iโd just read the pdf or got them in the library, the one in the top i won when i was accept, and the other one when i started my clinical rotation
doing all peds/obgyn and psychiatryโs assignments i have from this week and the next one so i can dive into digestive system till the day of my exam
so i just finished read all the pages. thatโs basically how i study. i read the pages and some bookโs chapter when i judge important and after i look it up questions from exams from another semesters so i try to solve them and see what i need to study more or pay more attention +
and then i make little notes with things that are important and i need to know like for life (diagnosis, treatment, symptoms)... since iโm doing my exams from home iโm not reading everything like 1000 times like i usually do bc i can look into my notes and whatever
guys i did my second exam of the digestive system. i did pretty well (63/64) but i was so nervous even tho i could look into my materials bc i didnโt study the way i should have. i just couldnโt, my mind couldnโt focus. and i was feeling so guilty about but i talk to my friends +
and they said itโs ok, u wonโt be at the top of our games 100% of the time. that i shouldnโt put too much pressure, specially during this hard time (pandemic and stuff). just saying this bc i wanna keep this thread real, donโt want you guys to think that medicine is +
magical and beautiful all that time. bc it isnโt. itโs impossible to be productive and stay focused, specially now, at home. thatโs it.
