By studying Veterinary Medicine, you are inundated with textbooks and lectures to go over. We inevitably get into this train of robotic studying. But do we really digest it well and let it sit in the mind for the long run or are we studying to regurgitate the information in order to pass the challenging exams? Which one are you? We need to start and continue to not let examinations pressurize us to learn in the fastest but less efficient way. We need to find our own individual study skills and learning tools and utilize them to the maximum, so we can improve the quality of our revision and understanding of Veterinary Medicine. So when we go into clinics, we remember more and can apply our knowledge with ease.
