Sharp Scratch

Is passmed really better than med school lectures?


Listen Later

Can you really pass medical school by only doing online question banks and never attending lectures?

In this episode, George and panellist Judy meet with Professor Andy McKeown, Director of Undergraduate Medicine at Keele University, to discuss the different study habits of medical students and whether some techniques are better than others.

Whether you prefer OnExamination, Passmedicine or Anki, medical students are always looking for the most efficient ways to pass exams.

Judy and George ask Andy questions about how the ways we study interact with how we learn medicine, and discuss the pros and cons of the different study techniques medical students commonly use.  

The episode highlights the importance of implementing a good work-life balance, particularly during exam season, as well as the approaches we can use to promote understanding medical school content beyond just passing our exams. The episode considers the role of implementing a number of different study techniques when preparing for exams including the actual reason it might be wise to attend your lectures.
