You have worked too hard to
get admitted to med school to now allow a steep learning
curve to come between you and the residency of your
choice. Be sure to go that extra yard and ensure that
you get the most out of your med school experience.
(Once school starts, you will be hard pressed to find
time to seek any needed assistance with your study
skills and test preparation strategies.)
