In this video, I explain why medical school feels harder now than it used to—and why the problem isn’t the volume of information, but how students are taught to learn it. I walk through the CPC (Clinical Pathologic Correlation) method, show how starting with a real patient presentation changes the way your brain organizes knowledge, and explain why memorization without context breaks down under exam pressure. Using a clinical shortness-of-breath example, I demonstrate how reasoning from physiology to pathology builds durable understanding, improves test performance, and actually makes learning more enjoyable. If you’re overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck feeling like medicine “isn’t sticking,” this approach may fundamentally change how you study. I’m also building out our community around this method, so subscribe to stay up to date with new videos and resources.
