EP28. How to achieve and maintain academic success - *unique* tips from a medical student

Knowledge is power and education is one way of getting knowledge. But, have you ever wondered how to achieve and maintain academic success? In this video, I will share with you all my tried & tested tips and mindset shifts that I used in high school and still use in medical school to achieve top grades and be the top of the class 5 years in a row. I will also go a bit deeper and dive into the drawbacks of the pursuit of academic success at all cost. Indeed, as much as academic success is honourable, it’s not always coming from a place of health and these unhealthy drivers for it need to be addressed and not glamourised. 

So with all that said, enjoy all the gems in this episode and get studying 💪🏽✨ 

With so much love,

Orlane
