If there is something that all have in common Medicine students is to touch the academic perfection to access your dream career However, upon entering college, that trait that often differentiated them from the rest turns each student into ‘one more’ in the class. And they are no longer ‘the best’, because the rest of their colleagues are too has stood out in terms of grades in his years of Secondary Education, Baccalaureate and the EBU. The question is: how does this affect coexistence in the classroom? Is there rivalry or competitiveness between students who, as a rule, are accustomed to excelling?
Pedro has begun his university career this same year, and in this first year of college has not identified any rivalry between colleagues. “There’s no ‘bad vibes,’ we all get along,” she says, describing the atmosphere in his own class as “pretty good.” In fullperiod of exams, details that by the group of WhatsApp of 1st “students are sent daily notes or relevant questions that each one encounters”.
He is also willing to share with others Medicine students everything you need. “I I usually lend my notes or anything else you have that can be of use to others,” he explains. From what he has observed so far, he also believes that – at least at his university – this is the majority feeling: “In such a demanding career we all seek to approve and that’s why we empathize a lot with each other. I have not noticed any type of competitiveness nor do I compare myself to anyone.e”.
“In a career as demanding as Medicine we all seek to pass and that is why we empathize with each other”
In fact, you don’t have to think of third parties to give an illustrative example of the camaraderie that lives in your class. The same combines a career in medicine with work and there are times when can’t go to university. “Sometimes I skip classes and always I depend on a classmate to leave me notes or tell me what the teachers have said,” he says. These dynamics intensify in the final ‘sprint’ of each semester, when more students decide to miss class to study, since those who do go to school School of Medicine “they warn of the important things that have been explained.”
Competitiveness in 6th year of Medicine
The situation of Daniel It’s something different. He is currently studying sixth and last year of the same degree and also defines the class environment as “good”, but recognizes that sometimes “there is friction” between classmates. Although in general there are no problems with the ‘traffic’ of notes between students in what he himself defines as a “collaborating company”, also perceives that “most people “is distributed among their groups of friends”and has known cases in which “Notes have been requested for having missed class and they have been denied.”
Although these are situations beyond his control, Daniel has also seen up close how some students have acted with the goal of harming others: “I have met colleagues who have ‘rolled back’ measures or have reported situations that benefited the majority because they considered it ‘unethical,'” he says. What he has experienced “in his own flesh” are unfortunate comments from other students, like the one he received just a few weeks ago. “A colleague told me that Going up to a 9 was not within my reach, but his was.“, remember.
On a personal note, he admits that all these issues have changed the perception he has of his colleagues over the years. “I feel like I have to compete with them and I compare myself.“, he says, and adds that the ‘climate’ that is breathed in the classroom itself also fosters these feelings: “There are classmates who make lists of those who get the best grades. that they to compete and beat them in the next one and colleagues who go to the exam review with an 8.5 because they consider it to be a bad grade,” he maintains.
“There are classmates who make lists of those who get better grades than them to compete and beat them in the next exam”
The root problem lies, in his opinion, in the functioning of the Medicine Degree. “The system is structured so that we compete in the worst possible way“, he maintains, since “there are no great incentives for those who get better grades or for those who improve. “He misses greater recognition,” beyond honors. “There is no healthy competition, as in sport, but rather a underground competition in which everyone tortures themselves in their own way“he concludes.
Self-demand among future doctors
Isabel is also in the final stretch of happiness University degreeand his experience is a kind of ‘middle ground’ between the experiences of Pedro and Daniel. The notes are not a reason for rivalry in their class either, and that the copy shops adjacent to their faculty have updated copies of most subjects. She herself assures that she is always willing to leave her classmates with everything they need. “I don’t gain anything by keeping something if I know it’s good and can help someone else,” she explains.
For this student the word ‘competitiveness’ is also present in the medical career, although in his opinion “people are very competitive but with themselves, they don’t burden the rest,” he maintains. Drawing on both his own experience and those of people in his immediate circle, he observes that ““Everyone tries to do their best and see how far they go, but without involving others.” Individually, Isabel also feels part of that dynamic, since in each exam she tries to give her best with the “sole objective” of feeling that she has learned something useful that will serve her in her job. future practice as a doctor and that, above all, benefit the patient.
