With so much information to learn, digest, and commit to memory, studying in medical school requires a large amount of dedication and hard work. Uncover how to better retain information to succeed in school and beyond with the 4 tools below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve compiled the best ways to retain information when studying in medical school! Here\u2019s how they work and can be used with Picmonic\u2019s visual learning platform for medical students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Mnemonic Memory Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical mnemonics are one of the best tools to improve memory when studying. The medical mnemonics you\u2019re likely already familiar with are acronyms like the SOAP technique or the ABCs of CPR. However, mnemonic devices are not limited to acronyms. They can be any memory aid like an image, rhyme, poem, song, or chart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/why-do-mnemonics-work-its-science\/\">Mnemonic techniques are effective<\/a> for all kinds of learners. If you\u2019re a visual learner, you may benefit from Picmonic\u2019s vast library of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/medicine\">medical mnemonics<\/a>! Picmonics are memorable since our brains prioritize memorizing images, but we\u2019ll talk more about that later.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1.jpeg\" alt=\"cromolyn mnemonic\" class=\"wp-image-27239\" style=\"width:512px;height:307px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-768x461.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-370x222.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-270x162.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-570x342.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cromolyn-1024x614-1-740x444.jpeg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Spaced Repetition Quizzes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spaced repetition is integral to every medical student\u2019s study routine; it\u2019s when you revisit medical information in spaced intervals to retain and recall it. If you think about it, spaced repetition is the opposite of cramming. Rather than trying to take in a lot of information at once, spaced repetition allows you to review difficult topics in a spaced yet frequent manner to help you avoid the overconsumption of information and forgetting it altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to deduce when you should revisit medical information can get tricky. Luckily, Picmonic has a smart software algorithm that re-exposes you to medical information via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/about\/forgetting-curve\">daily spaced repetition quiz <\/a>before you forget it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Retrieval Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrieval practice is much needed when you\u2019re studying medical facts and information. After all, practice makes perfect! Quizzes, practice questions or exams, and flashcards are all great retrieval methods. Picmonic features built-in quizzing for convenient retrieval practice which is helpful for medical students <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/about\/on-the-go\">on the go<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrieval practice isn\u2019t limited to practice tests and quizzes, though. Spice it up and try the \u201cbrain dump\u201d method where you write everything you know about a medical topic on a flashcard or piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visual Learning&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/visual_verbal_more_learned_02-200.png\" alt=\"3 monkeys\" class=\"wp-image-7135\" style=\"width:256px;height:197px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to improve memory when studying\u2014bring out the pictures! Visual learning is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/better-way-learn-memorize-using-evidence-based-learning\/\">evidence-based learning method<\/a>. According to the picture-superiority effect, images are more memorable than words and communicate with the brain faster than text or audio. Our brains process images and associate them with key concepts which enhances overall memory retention and recall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Picmonic is the best way to retain information when studying in medical school; picture mnemonics speak a thousand words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Med School Memorization Tricks for Studying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these memorization methods for fun, impactful ways to study and retain information long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Create a Memory Palace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds luxurious, doesn\u2019t it? A memory palace, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/learn\/lesson\/what-is-the-method-of-loci.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Method of Loci<\/a>, is a technique where you visualize familiar spaces to remember information. It\u2019s extremely effective for medical students who are struggling with a difficult topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, visualize a place you\u2019re familiar with. It can be a place you visit frequently like your home or a place you have a fond memory of (fictional spaces count too). Then, you\u2019ll imagine images that represent the information you want to remember and visualize them in that place. How you \u201ccreate\u201d and \u201cplace\u201d these images in your visualized space is important as you\u2019ll envision yourself walking through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The better the images, the better your memory palace. Images can be big, creative, graphic, funny, or just plain weird. Still, be sure it ties into the medical information you need to remember.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Flashcards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re learning how to study to retain information, you may get sick of the word \u201cflashcards\u201d. However, flashcards are a tried and true method, so you can never go wrong with them. Whether you prefer a stack of physical flashcards or digital tools like Anki, flashcards are great for quick, repetitive review and memorization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Did you know Picmonic has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/picmonic-anki-win\/\">free Anki add-on<\/a>?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Review and Rewrite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one\u2019s pretty straightforward, but it is one of the most underrated memory tricks for studying! After you\u2019ve skimmed through notes, lectures, or assigned readings, put them aside and rewrite what you remember. You can word dump on a piece of paper or use keywords and bullet points to create a flow chart to cement concepts and revisit them later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Teach it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Attention, class is now in session! Try creating a short presentation or lecture on what medical fact you want to nail and present it. This memorization method helps you consolidate information, communicate it effectively, and remember it for later. It can be done solo, but we highly recommend trying it with your study group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"teacher\" class=\"wp-image-27937\" style=\"width:512px;height:288px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-370x208.webp 370w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-270x152.webp 270w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-570x321.webp 570w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher-740x416.webp 740w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/teacher.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While study groups aren\u2019t for everyone, they can help you get valuable feedback to identify knowledge gaps. Different folks can also expose you to different study approaches, so don\u2019t knock it until you try it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Tell a Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your imagination run wild. Traditional memorization methods can get boring, especially with the amount of information you need to recall in medical school. Creating a story or scenario with a medical fact or approach makes it more memorable. Link facts together to create a narrative and just get creative. This works well with case studies, patient histories, or other medical processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Picmonic\u2019s mnemonic generator allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/about\/customize-create\">generate your own mnemonics<\/a> for learning fun! All you have to do is explore Picmonic\u2019s library of facts and characters, link relevant media, and save it for later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"pls-btn pls-btn--lighten-blue pls-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/medicine\">Sign up today<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only do medical students need to retain everything they learn during medical school, they also need to retain their knowledge throughout residency and the rest of their professional careers.
