I’m wrapping up schooling for med lab/MLT and I’ve found charts and repetition to be my best friend. If I have a bunch of antibiotics or blood products to remember I group them, come up with memory tricks and acronyms, then lock my self in my office and spend a few hours with coffee and snacks just staring at my notes and burning everything into my memory. I find that 3 is the magic number, meaning I need to go through and fully understand my notes 3 times for the information to stick. The mind palace technique works too. I also like to do a little extra research, I find that fully understanding the mechanism and purpose of why I am even doing something helps but thats just me, I like to start out with the tiny details then zoom out to see how all the puzzle pieces fit together to make the big picture.
At the end of the day just find a technique that works for you, flashcards help, associations, diagrams. Best of luck!
