Thermodynamics in medicine school

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Understanding thermodynamics in medical school requires a solid foundation in chemistry, particularly knowledge of atoms and molecules. Students who excel in this subject often engage in extensive reading from various sources and practice problem-solving. Mastery of Chemical Thermodynamics is essential, as it cannot be achieved through passive learning methods like watching videos alone. Active participation in experiments and hands-on experiences significantly enhances comprehension.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic knowledge of chemistry concepts, including atoms and molecules.
  • Familiarity with Chemical Thermodynamics principles.
  • Experience in solving chemistry-related practice problems.
  • Understanding of scientific experimentation methods.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the fundamentals of Chemical Thermodynamics in detail.
  • Engage in hands-on laboratory experiments to reinforce theoretical knowledge.
  • Utilize online resources and textbooks for diverse perspectives on thermodynamics.
  • Practice solving thermodynamics problems from past medical school exams.
USEFUL FOR

Medical students, aspiring doctors, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of thermodynamics in the context of medicine.

Can you understand thermodynamics without a lot of information from chemistry?I mean I didn't learned a lot about atoms,molecules and everything that is related to science so I was wondering if it is possible to learn it without these subjects.I learned a few things about chemistry in high school and they never helped me.
I want to become a doctor and I saw that a lot of students know a lot about this chapter.How did they succed?I tried to read chemistry lessons about these subjects but I failed horrible and I revised and revised and revised until I had no idea what the lessons are about.Is there a secret?I really want to know that secret.

There is not secret. Chemical Thermodynamics is a difficult subject, and requires lots of reading (from different sources) and solving lots of practice problems.
 
So there is no way to understand molecules or atoms without real life experiments or experiences?I mean watching an youtube video is easy but understanding what they mean is the hardest part.
