Get memory training tips at link above now

Are you stressed trying to memorize medical terms? Medical terminology can be one of the hardest things to memorize in medical school and it can be frustrating making people want to give up.

But it is easy if you have a memory training strategy. So here are a few memory training strategies to memorize medical terms.

1. The system described in this video is one where you take the medical term that you want to memorize and you turn it into a picture and then you take the definition and you turn that info a picture and put them together in one big giant picture.

For example the medical term of macula we imagined Dracula eating a Big Mac hamburger. Then had the nerves coming out of it. We turn the medical term and the definition into a picture and in a sense create a story to memorize the medical term.

2. Another technique for medical term memory would be creating a story. I have a great example of that here at this link

That would be WAAAAY too complicated to use on all medical terms. Just memorize all the terms you can and maybe use this technique for the ones that you just can't seem to remember.

What I do:

1 - Use the techinique tought here;

2 - A revise 3x just by speaking out the correct information BUT thinking of the pictures I have created.

3- I keep revising periodicaly until I do not need to think about the pictures no more.

No thanks, I realized my flashcards are much easier.

That's a lot of pictures to remember.

It's easier if you come up with your own pictures. He's just using examples. This probably doesn't work on everyone as we all have different types of learning. I'm pretty happy I found this video personally as I am super dumb at memorizing.

I am afraid I wouldn't be able to remember all of those connections and pictures!

This method worked like a charm when I needed to learn a ton of medical terms while working at Emory University. Gonna try it out of Italian words that I struggle to remember. Ty for the video!

This is amazing!!! I’m studying for my CPC Exam and am more of a visual learner and have a photographic memory and was struggling to remember the definition by words. I came across your video and it was a blessing! Thank you so much!! 😀

concept might help at first, many examples are not the best, but folks can make up their own. Eventually with lots of reading people can become familiar with what the parts of the words mean like octa (pression)pressure and ( Itis)inflammation without having visualize. No matter how, Its always good to help people feel less intimidated about learning.

Why is it that memorization is HARD? why? This advice if good. For those who speak their local language like Filipino, we may try this: Acapnia (Think of the syllabol Akap (Hug/embrace) for "Acap" & Nia as (Niya/nya) His/Hers in filipino. So it goeas like this - "His Hug" or "Her Hug".

Macula is easier and kinda funny. Dracula sucking Mac... I mean....The Mac. he he. XD

I am a medical student. I find it problematic to remember the gross and microscopic features of the organs affected by every disease. Can you suggest something?

[TopStoryTime]

Damn you are Good!!! Ia studying to med school and ben worrying about all the words to memorize and you are a hero

[ekeomaochiabuto]

If you read the informations over and over again, making an attempt to recall highlights sentence, with your own unique memory picture, couple with dragging the unique memories picture each time you come across such sentence, it will naturally become easy with time.
And you will get to a point where your mental effort to recall such informations will naturally flow without much effort due to over learning.
It will simply become second in nature.
First phase of almost anything is usually complex and hard but with constant practice, it becomes flexible.

I tend to do that too, my problem with it is that it takes time and when there are too many words it gets confused. However, it is useful if you have daily sutyding habits.
Also it is really fun, for example: When the patient has aoritc failure, it will show 3 signs: Minervia sign, Musset sign and Durosiez sign. In my mind, I picture an evil woman that reminds me of minervia, then she has mousse in her hair (because musset sign is a series of pulse signs and head bouncing) and for durosiez it won't make sense because I speak another language
