Before making the wrong decisions, know the real reason you are applying for the course. Those that are passionate about the course are not really swayed by what happens around them.

4. Medicine and Surgery Requires Discipline

Most people who go into medical school are behind maturity.

Don’t get it twisted!

Before you enter medical school, understand that most medical students are nerd, hardcore and smart who spend time on their academics when they should have a lot of fun in the social aspect of school life.

Are you ready to develop that hardcore spirit?

5. Have Good Study Habits

Studies have shown that medical student studies beyond time as compared to other students. As a medical student, you will certainly come across certain books that are bulky and boring to study.

Don’t conclude yet, here is the key:

The problem of a new study habit has been a challenge to too many first-year students, as they continue to study the course the way they studied in high school.

Cramming as a way of studying medicine will lead you to a pitfall. Of course, you can’t cram over fifteen textbooks of about one to two inches.

In medical school, there are too many materials to study and the best way to deal with them is not cramming.

You will feel like writing people off:

You will definitely get pissed off by some things you will notice in people. It is tempting but tries not to piss people off. As a medical student, you will want to feel so special, and then egoism sets in.

Don’t write anyone off. Many people will definitely look up to you to solve their problems (health or non-health), don’t see anyone as less important.

Despite your tight schedule, offer a helping hand. Learn excellent communication skills and be polite to everyone. Don’t forget whoever you meet on your way up you will surely meet on your way down.

6. Although “Education is expensive”, Medicine and Surgery is …

Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigerian president once said “education is not for the poor, and to some extent, I agree with him”. Medicine and surgery are not for the poor, it is one of those courses with a high amount of tuition fees. Yes!

This is obtainable in Nigeria. As a med student, know that you will need money to purchase good textbooks which are very costly in the prize.

You will ask: what if I don’t have money but I’m zealous for the course?

Good news!

If you are financially weak, try not to be poor mentally. There are thousands of scholarships for med students available online and offline. You can seize this opportunity and study your dream course.

7. You May be Careless About Your Health

Every medical student is always busy getting the assignment done, complete the term paper and read hard for tests/exams.

Whatever the case is, try as much as possible to Eat Healthily, Exercise, and Sleep. Denying yourself of these three things will pose a problem to your health and it will be detrimental to your academics.

When you are in medical school, create time for yourself. Of course, you know you cannot cheat nature.

Here is the secret,
