"What are the difficulties that the student faces in memorizing medical terms? Discuss your way/ idea of dealing with these difficulties"?
Difficulties faced by the students in memorizing medical terms are
-remebering large number of muscles, in anatomy
-drug classification with examples of each class in pharmacology
-memorizing particular chunks of paragraph for definition of certain medical terms
Every field has it's own type of learning. In medical field the students are supposed memorize a large number of things.
Solution
Our brain stores stuff only after certain level of repeating the information, ie that particular piece of information becomes long term memory on multiple revision
-Therefore the main key point overcome the obstacles of memorizing is to REVISE
- also students can use particular pneumonic/acronym to recall the certain medical terms
Eg:general examination- pickel .
-flash cards can also be used
-also try breaking down the word , then understand the meaning of each segment ,thereby helping to retain that memory
