At the beginning of medical school, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information I had to learn in a short amount of time. My normal note-taking strategy was taking too much time and I was falling behind. I needed to change my study strategy. What followed was an all-encompassing reworking of how I spent my time. The results? My grades went up and I studied less. How is that possible? In this video, I will show you how I take 0, notes in medical school now score better, and study less.

Summarizing, highlighting, and rereading are poor studying strategies. Active recall, spaced repetition, and practice testing are evidence-based and effective studying strategies. The basis of this strategy revolves around those three "pillars" of studying. I outline the evidence for this strategy in the two videos below:

Who am I:

My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on YouTube or my website 🌐 (https://zhighley.com/).

I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (https://zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).
