Licensed medical professional with three Bachelor's degrees in biological and psychological sciences.

Methodology

I have three Bachelor's degrees in the following fields: Biology, Medical Technology, and Psychology. I also have a minor in Chemistry, and recently received my license as a Clinical Laboratory Technologist. Currently, I work as a Clinical Microbiologist with a concentration in organisms found in urine, genital, and respiratory samples.

I have found being thorough in a subject by starting off with the basics and applying those basics to higher knowledge helps a lot when it comes to not just memorizing but truly understanding a subject. The way I taught myself through college was by creating questions out of my lecture materials and then making quizzes for myself in that subject. I have also created tables and mnemonics to help with remembering and organizing large amounts of information so it makes sense. I encourage repetition so facts stick in your mind--it may sound as if I'm against memorization entirely, but I believe it has its uses now and again. I myself am a person who asks a lot of questions and encourages that--if you don't understand something or want to know more about it, there's no shame in asking!! All it can do is make you more prepared.
