If you said YES to any of these questions, contact STS Tutoring, where you can arrange tutoring sessions with an MSIV, a fellow student who was in your shoes not so long ago. STS tutors can work with you on a variety of skills - tutoring on topics you choose, identifying useful resources in textbooks or online, discussing how to organize material for USMLE preparation - even just chatting once or twice to help ease the concerns of how to approach and fit into 2nd or 3rd year.
Everyone has difficulty learning and studying during their medical school career. None of us can learn it all. Be wise and don't let these problems overwhelm you
Want to check it out or ask a question? You can arrange one session or a series. Want to become an STS tutor or take a Medical Education elective?
