3 tips on how to study effectively
During their training, medical residents acquire numerous skills, surgeries, and procedures that they will later use to save lives. The ability to retain these skills is crucial, as it can mean the difference between life and death. In a 2006 research study, surgical residents learning to suture arteries were divided into two groups. Both groups received the same study materials, but one group made a small change in their study approach. When tested one month later, the group that implemented this change performed significantly better in surgeries compared to the other residents. We will explore the key to this group's success, as well as two other highly effective study techniques that can be applied in various educational settings.
