Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Goga, Dr. Gobind Rai Garg, and joining me is Dr. Sparsh Gupta, your pathology educator at Cerebellum Academy. We’ve received numerous queries from students who have taken our second prof package, and we’re incredibly grateful for the excellent response. Many are asking how to best utilize this package, given the combination of live classes, videos, and ongoing tests. This blog post aims to address those questions and provide guidance on maximizing the benefits of our study package.
The Origin of Our Approach
The concept behind this package stems from my experience teaching physical classes for second-year medical students in Delhi over the past decade. My approach involved weekly 3-4 hour sessions, comprising a test on previously taught material followed by new topic instruction. This method allowed students a week to prepare, study textbooks, and familiarize themselves with MCQ formats. It created a competitive environment that simulated both professional exams and PG entrance exams.
The results were remarkable. We saw a significant increase in distinctions across various medical colleges, including Maulana Azad Medical College, UCMS, Lady Hardinge, and Safdarjung. This success wasn’t due to my teaching alone but to the student’s hard work and the competitive environment that brought out their best.
Replicating Success Online
Our goal with the Second Prof Package is to replicate this successful model online, making it accessible to medical students across India. We aim to provide the same competitive environment and structured approach that yielded such positive results in our physical classes.
Advantages of the Second Prof Package
- Structured Course: You get a well-organized curriculum that covers all necessary topics.
- Sufficient Study Time: The package allows ample time to thoroughly study subjects from textbooks, strengthening your basics and concepts.
- National Level Competition: Competing at a national level provides motivation and keeps you grounded, showing where you stand among peers from various colleges.
- Early Identification of Weak Areas: The package helps you identify and address weak topics early, giving you time to improve with guidance from experienced faculty.
- Building Strong Foundations: Second prof subjects form the basis for clinical subjects. Mastering these now sets you up for success in later years.
Additional Features
- Scheduled Topics: We provide a subject-wise schedule, including important topics likely to appear in PG entrance exams.
- Curated Tests: Specially designed tests help you assess your progress and understanding.
- Discussion Sessions: These sessions cover how to answer questions in professional exams, MCQ strategies, and clinical format questions.
The Importance of Textbooks
We strongly emphasize the importance of studying from textbooks. No notes or lectures can replace the depth and breadth of knowledge found in standard textbooks. This habit of referring to textbooks will serve you well throughout your medical career.
Who Can Benefit?
While the package is designed for second prof students, other premium subscribers of the Cerebellum app are welcome to participate. It’s an excellent way to stay disciplined, revise topics, and break the monotony of studying.
Future Plans
We’re planning to introduce additional tests in June, covering all three-second prof subjects. We’ll offer prizes to top performers, both for individual tests and cumulative scores. This initiative aims to keep you motivated and engaged throughout your preparation.
Conclusion
The key to success in medical studies and beyond is regularity and discipline. Our Second Prof Package is designed to instil these habits while providing comprehensive preparation for your exams. We’re committed to working hard alongside you to ensure your success.
