Learning Medicine: An Evidence-Based Guide offers a comprehensive, evidence-based method for learning medicine that allows students to excel in their studies and further their careers. Peter Wei ’10 and Alexander Chamessian build on recent insights from learning and memory to provide practical, actionable instructions on how to make use of the powerful learning method called spaced repetition, which allows medical students to break free of the “binge-purge” cycles of learning that happens with cramming just for exams.
