It's clinically relevant biochem, physiology, and anatomy with histology and embryology. And then pharmacology, pathology, and some joke classes like global health or public health.
Then you learn how to apply this knowledge in the wards. Most of your learning is done on your own here and from reading papers and textbooks on more advanced topics like the principles of certain diagnostics, more advanced path mechs and interrelations, and you can go deeper into math models and research of whatever interests you after the initial info dump the first 2 years.
Most of medicine is self-taught through experience and theoretical interactions you make in your head. Med school though is a joke if you're hard working and disciplined.

And by medicine I mean postmed school

I have lost count of how many medical students and medical school faculty have stated that medical school is the hardest thing you will have done in your life. Yet you're saying that if you're hard working and dedicated it's easy? Can you expand on this in any way? I'm highly interested in your experience.

As important as men in medicine are. Think of the patients - female patient may find themselves uncomfortable consulting with a male doctor and vice versa
Adrian Roberts
From my experience to do well in medical school you just need to be on yop of things. It's a great deal of information but not too conceptually difficult at least for me. But you can dive much deeper after med school to get into more theoretical abstractions about clinical practice, therapeutics, diagnostics, and models of disease.
Then it becomes a fun game in your head of making patterns between everything to soet of predict what will happen in a patient if X, Y, Z.

Also premeds, med students, and physicians are notorious for overexaggerating in their complaints.

Are we worse at medicine now than we were before women got significantly involved? I was under the impression that medical treatment has improved since the 70s. Not saying this is because of women, but they don't seem to have caused medicine to backslide either.
Liam Hughes
When I studied medicine it was shifting from heavy anatomy to an 'evidence-based approach'.
pffttt. Who needs evidence in a fucking science course?
Concepts are super easy. Just lots of information. Stay on top of the information and organise both notes and thoughts and it's manageable.
They are notorious for high rates of mental health issues which carry over to when they are Drs.

Women overwhelming stick to therapy and nurisng positions. So no, not really. They're still hyper-entitled bitchy cunts because DON'T FUCK WITH NURSES WE RUN THE SHOW XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD But nah actual medicine is safe
