Medical student Chuka Onuh and orthopedic surgery resident Ogechukwu Onuh discuss their article, "A sibling's guide to surviving medical school." They share lessons learned as siblings navigating medical training, focusing on the critical need to be intentional with time and avoid the "illusion of productivity." Chuka and Ogechukwu emphasize that study habits must be adaptable (like switching from Anki to practice questions for USMLE exams) and that students must learn to advocate for themselves. The conversation also explores the biggest challenge of the medical school journey: protecting your identity outside the white coat, prioritizing relationships, and building resilience to avoid burnout. Learn the habits and mindset shifts necessary to survive medical school with your sense of self intact.
