Med School Done Right: What Bowling Can Teach You About Studying for USMLE Step 1
24 months ago
By Luke Murray
Allow me a bowling analogy to illustrate the importance of feedback in studying for Step 1 (or acquiring any knowledge or skill).
Imagine you care about being a really good bowler. You want to bowl strikes as often as possible and pick up spares no matter how awkwardly arranged the remaining pins are. So, you purchase the best shoes and the most expensive ball and head off to the bowling alley where you square yourself up a handful of steps away from the end of the bowling lane, ready to roll your first game. As you step towards the lane, swinging your ball arm back and bending over so that your release will be close to the ground, eyes focused on the head pin, a screen suddenly falls down from the ceiling, stopping just a couple feet from ground, exactly midway down the lane. It completely blocks your view of the pins and everything else beyond that midpoint screen.

By Molly Lewis
Learning antibiotics can be quite overwhelming- trade names, generic names, spectrums of activity, side effects, etc.- so many details! To make it a bit more manageable, I used as many mnemonics as I could find or create! Here is one of my favorites.
