After taking tons of tests over the years, I have honed a study technique that works well for me.
And hopefully, it works for you too!
A thread on the study technique that got me through med school, residency, fellowship, and one of the hardest board exams I’ve ever taken:🧵📚

1/ Have you ever started your day with a great teaching plan...
...then by 12 pm, you've received consult 📟 #10:
"This patient has been hospitalized for 65 days & developed a 🌡️ 2 weeks ago..."
😱
This week: balancing consults & teaching
(w/ principles for primary teams too!)

I read recently that giving feedback side-by-side instead of across a table changes the dynamic. I tried it this month and felt the difference! I’ve also done this with patients.
You know? Little things really go a long way.💛

"Pay yourself first."
Meaning start your day with your writing project. Before you address the needs of everyone around you. Or get lost in your emails. Because your needs matter too.
Great reminder from @NCFDD! @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie

Clinic is hard to learn to do well - only happens once/week and often with conflicting responsibilities for fellows. Check out this thread for tips on efficiency:

I used to hate clinics because...
1. I finish completing charts at night.
2. I spend hours and hours calling patients back
3. I can't find time to do research work.
4. I'm too tired to write at 10pm

The #ACCWIC Leadership Conference session by @DrToniyaSingh on Contracts and Negotiations. From not having read her own contract to having read more than 100 contracts for #ACCFIT and #ACCECC to help explain the sometimes daunting contracts.

As opposed to historical data that primarily women sought medical careers w/ more time for family & stable work hours,our survey showed that in the current generation of residents both men & women rated time for family & stable work hours as important or extremely important.

We found:
1)Both men & women place high value on a career that allows optimal work-life balance
2)This preference had intensified over the past decade
3)Prioritization of work-life balance in career choice has intensified/changed the most in men.

Mariame Kaba: “Hope is a discipline.”
Paul Farmer: “You fight the long defeat.”
James Stockdale: Combine “the need for absolute, unwavering faith that you can prevail” with “the discipline to begin by confronting the brutal facts.”
These are my touchstones. 8/

Doctors spend a ridiculous amount of time charting, and doing so after clinic on their own time. It's exhausting and needs to improve.
Here are some of my tips to stay on top of closing those dreaded charts:
