I’m a high school student, but I’ve taken several college classes. The best advice someone gave me is to always be a week ahead of your reading and studying material. This sounds obvious but it’s definitely effective for a full time college student.

Stay on top of your work by keeping a planner and color coding your classes! I’m a senior Health and Exercise Science Major, but absolutely recommend google scholar and just looking up medical journals to read on your profession! You could also see if there’s a journal that orthopedic surgeons publish to!
