| Description |
Medical students and medical education institutions both put a significant amount of effort toward the completion of a traditional medical education. Research and analysis of student study habits regarding the use of supplemental study materials not suggested or provided by their medical education institution revealed that the majority of students do utilize this material. Not only do many students utilize the material, but they pay for the materials and use them on a daily basis. To set the foundation for future research into student study habits regarding these materials, this study was completed by surveying second-, third-, and fourth-year medical students. In addition to surveying students about their use of supplemental materials, students were also surveyed regarding several potential risk factors that may be driving students to use these supplemental materials. Results indicated that students utilize supplemental materials for the sake of efficiency, the use of memory devices and practice question banks, finding material that fit their learning style, and more. As the educational institution furthers their understanding of students' study habits and needs, they will be better positioned to cater to those needs. |
