Are medical students tired of studying?

Really tired.

As a medical student, let me complain.

Looking at the book that is thicker than my arm, I shudder; looking at the teacher's eloquent words, I feel like I am listening to the Bible again; looking at the 90-meter-thickness of other people's houses, I doubt my own mind.

For the rest, tell me slowly.

1. Professional learning is difficult and hard

First of all, it is no secret that the learning content of the medical major is heavy and difficult. Many students want to have a free schedule after entering college, but medical students basically study various professional courses every day. In addition to the tight course schedule, it also takes a long time to master the course content after class. Especially for clinical medicine majors, the learning content covers a wide range of topics, which requires students to have a strong foundation in biology and chemistry, as well as strong memory and patience. It is designed to focus on professional knowledge and is divided into three parts: biomedicine, basic public health, and clinical medicine. There is a lot to remember and it is difficult to learn. Therefore, students need to spend a lot of energy to learn this major well.

2. The time span is very long, and a lot of energy needs to be invested in the early stage.

In addition, the high investment before employment in medical majors has always been a controversial point. The training cycle of some medical majors such as clinical medicine is very long. The undergraduate stage of clinical medicine is divided into three categories: five-year system, 5+3 integrated system and eight-year system. In other words, students not only have to study for five years, but also study for a master's degree or even a doctorate in order to meet employment standards, and they also have two years of training. Such a long time and corresponding increase in financial investment makes many students hesitate before choosing to study medicine. After all, not everyone can accept such time and financial support.

3. Practitioners’ psychological pressure and the intensification of doctor-patient conflicts

In addition to the high pressure of study, the nature of doctors’ work is actually not that easy. After a long period of study, I will find that when I come into contact with related work, I need to deal with some more complex problems. Similarly, taking clinical medicine as an example, there are more direct contacts with doctors and patients, and the problems that need to be dealt with and the nature of the work are more complex. Not only do you need to deal with various emergencies, but it is also common to undergo surgery in the middle of the night. It is not surprising that you often stay up late and work overtime. Sometimes a single operation takes more than ten hours, which shows how intense the work is. Moreover, in recent years, the contradiction between doctors and patients has become increasingly intensified, making practitioners feel a lot of pressure. Therefore, practicing doctors must also have a healthy body and strong mental endurance to cope with the intensity of work. In short, this major will be very hard both in the study stage and in future work. Although the salary is very high and stable, as mentioned above, few families can afford the expenses for up to 10 years. I advise people not to Studying medicine does not mean that this major is not good, but that you are afraid that you will not be able to persevere. If you "give up halfway" due to various reasons, you really deserve to be "struck".
