Your class rank (or COVID-19) got you down? We have just the antidote for you. For many students, developing resiliency towards grades in medical school can be exceptionally challenging. With the help of Class of 2020 medstuds, Colleen and Nate, Robbie walks you through tried and resiliency methods for approaching your quartile status. We hope this episode empowers you to be your best and avoid feeling the burden of comparison. As Teddy Roosevelt eloquently said, “comparison is the thief of joy”.

Notes: 

1. You can access your class rank/quartile on MedOneStop via the Student Record tab (not academic record) on the top of the home page or via the Student Record/Class Rank quick link on the right.
2. John Wooden on success, “Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming”.

Remember the Papez circuit? We don’t either. Regardless, the Neuroscience Clerkship takes the best of B.M.B., subtracts the brownies, and adds Dr. Quinlan. We think it’s a great combination! Plus, you get four fantastic weeks to perfect your neuro exam. Does anyone else think the UC Garnder Neuroscience Institute looks like a cerebrum?

Welcome to a fan favorite — the Psychiatry Clerkship! In this episode, Robbie sits down with two future Psychiatrists, Andy and Margaret, to get the inside scoop on the clerkship. You’re gonna like your schedule on the Psych clerkship; we guarantee it. If you end up treating any patients from Kentucky during this six week block, you should ask them if they like Kentucky Freud Chicken.

Clean-up:

1. Andy mentioned that CCHMC College Hill has a partial hospitalization program; this service is actually offered at Cincinnati Children’s Green Township & the Lindner Center of Hope.

Kevin and classmate John Moon have a fireside chat about GER. The calm before the storm. This a large block, and as John Moon thoughtfully points out in this episode, it is a marathon — not a sprint. At this point in your career as a medical student, you should have a sense of what works for you (in regards to studying). With that in mind, John and I discussed important topics, how to score easy points, and how to balance GER and pre-dedicated Step 1 studying.
