YOUR BODY IS NOT A STUDY MACHINE. Tips for managing stress in medical school: 1-Talk with family and friends about your priorities, and about what you need (and don’t need) in order to succeed in medical school. Establish boundaries early to manage excessive demands from others. 2-Set a schedule for sleep, nutrition,exercise, studying, socializing, and relaxing. Priorities should be first ondoing what you need to do to take care of yourself. Your second priority should be on your studies. 3- Also schedule study breaks to effectively manage attention and memory. Your body is NOT a “study machine” – it needs care and rest. You need periods of relaxation for your brain to function optimally in learning. 4- Get to know others who share your goals, who have qualities which you admire, and who are willing and able to provide the support you need. 5- Monitor for stress and seek help if you experience time management problems, social isolation, concentration difficulties, physical or emotional symptoms. People who handle stress well tend to know their strengths and how to use their strengths effectively. This becomes especially important for survival in medical school, where there are many demands on the person. If you are a Doctor or a Medical Student, Please join orbitmbbs
