The weather does not spare a single day, and the timers for January 20 are getting closer to zero. With this, the almost 14,000 candidates for the MIR 2024 They are immersed in the final stretch of studying for an exam that, if everything goes well, will change the course of their lives forever.
This is the situation in which Blanca finds herself, who began to prepare for the test. Specialized Sanitary Training (FSE) last June, nothing more graduate in Medicine. He wanted to look back to make a retrospective of these months and tell us what his impressions are weeks before the appointed day.
Worst moments when studying the MIR
The road has been long and not exactly easy. He acknowledges that there have been several times that has entered a “negative loop” of intrusive thoughts: “My God, I’m going terribly, I’m going to have to repeat the MIR“I don’t like that,” she told herself in her worst moments. “I think I have never had it so bad in my life regarding studies. When you fail, your results worsen accordingly: you study worse and the simulation comes out worse,” he maintains.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had such a bad time in my life in terms of studies. When you fail, your results get worse as a result: you study worse and the simulation goes worse.”
He doesn’t hesitate for a second when he says that The most complicated was during November and December. The penultimate month of the year was a reason for stagnation and frustration for her, since “a lot of time had passed, but there was still a lot of time left.” She proclaims that stage as “the worst moment” of the entire preparation, since, as she herself remembers, she “was tired but at the same time she continued to see him very far away.”
Al accumulated exhaustion adds another important factor: the days are shorter and it gets dark earlier. He change to winter time had a notable influence on his moodsince the lack of hours of sunshine made him feel that his time to study was ending sooner.
Study the MIR with friends
But in the most difficult moments he has always had a shoulder to cry on, or rather, four: those of his two best friends from collegewhich are also regarding to be examined MIR 2024. In the ‘final sprint’ weeks they have decided to study ‘as a team’, and complement each other. “We go over everything together, out loud, because at this point we we are so tired it is good to be with someone that pulled you in when you became unmotivated, and vice versa,” he says.
“My friends and I go over everything together, out loud, because at this point, when we’re so tired, it’s good to be with someone who pulled you along when you’ve lost motivation, and vice versa.”
And these moments so close to the exam are for her a true ‘long-distance race’ for which she would not have enough strength if it were not for her friends. Since she started the last lap, following Christmas Day, she recognizes that the time for self-care “has disappeared”, and is reduced to the moments before going to bed. “I don’t do anything and I practically don’t go out, because I think that In this lap you have to push ‘full’“he explains. He sees these last few days as an opportunity to clarify all those concepts that resist you and make them clear. “It’s a month that goes by quickly and “The prize is the most important thing.”he assures.
The sacrifice has also been notable in these weeks of celebrations, since despite having Christmas and New Year as holidays by your academy, the rest of the days “you see how your family and friends get together, do things, and you don’t you can,” he tells us. But he hardly takes long to remember his goal, since he always keeps in mind that “it is only a year, and it passes with joy as much as possible.”
Medical vs. surgical specialties
Looking ahead to the moment of place allocation, has a wide but defined range of possibilities among your preferences. “I only know that I want a medical specialty, and not a surgical one“, she says in a clear and forceful tone. Having several options in mind is a source of relief for her, since “it doesn’t pigeonhole you” and therefore, “there are fewer possibilities” of take the exam once more. Likewise, it is time to focus on the present and do your best in studying.
