How to succeed in medical school if you are an ENFJ personality type medical student

UCSF medical school has plenty of ENFJ medical students. ENFJ stands for Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. These types are ideal physicians. At least one ENFJ medical student at UCSF is going into Family Medicine.

MAKING FRIENDS IN MEDICAL SCHOOL
Making friends in medical school will be easy for you. You are outgoing, social, open, attention seeking, loving, comfortable around others, complimentary considerate, content, positive, affectionate, good at getting people to have fun, easily excited, and group oriented.

STAYING ORGANIZED AND COMPLETING TASKS
It is going to be easy for you to organize your study schedule and complete assigned tasks. You are naturally organized.

PARTICIPATION IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Although extracurricular activities are not valued as much when you apply for residency programs as they were when you applied for medical school, you will no doubt find yourself involved in plenty of activities. You are naturally an involved, altruistic, and hyperactive person.

STAY AWAY FROM DRAMA
Because you are naturally emotional, you might find yourself in situations involving “drama.” Try to minimize these situations. Because you are easily hurt, you should check in with your feelings and understand that not everyone is doing what they are doing to hurt you. If you do fall into depression, you can rely on your strong support system. The fact that you are religious will also be helpful.

SUCCESS IN CLINICAL ROTATIONS
You will be successful in your clinical rotations. Your success will come from the fact that you are punctual (being on time is highly valued on clinical rotations), neat, content, a perfectionist, assertive, ambitious, a leader, and hard working

DATING
Dating is not easy in medical school. However, it is a lot easier for ENFJs than for others. Because you are seductive, touchy, and assertive, you might have a better shot at finding a partner than others.

LIMITATIONS
Your apparent weakness is that you are image conscious and “anti-tatoos” i.e. less accepting of others outside the social norm.

THINGS YOU CAN DO IN MEDICAL SCHOOL
There are many things you can do in medical school. You can write for your student newspaper as a critic, plan events, teach, act in plays, paticipate in fashion events, promote and/or direct events, participate in dances, etc.

THINGS TO STAY AWAY FROM
You might get easily bored with basic science research or any research that doesn’t involve human contact. Computer programming and managing finances might be a problem. Designing a website, participating in business activities, etc, might not appeal to you as much. You could do these things, but if you’re not having fun, look elsewhere.

Advice for first year medical students

1. Thank you for filling out this questionnaire. Now that you’ve completed the first year of medical school, what advice would you give the incoming MS1s who are about to start this year? You can fill out this survey as many times as you wish, so come back often to share your piece of advice!

Try to keep balance in your life. Don’t overload yourself on electives. Try to build some time into your schedule every day that is just for you to relax, watch TV, read a book for fun, etc.

2. What is your Myers-Briggs personality type? Extroverted vs Introverted Sensing vs Intuitive Thinking vs Feeling Judging vs Perceiving Ex. ENFP

EIFJ

3. What equipment did you purchase? Eg. stethoscope, sphygmamometer, tuning fork, etc.

Stethoscope Sphygmamonometer (the cheapest kind, mostly for practice) Tuning fork (need it for B&B) Reflex hammer (need it for B&B) Opthalmascope/Otoscope (you definitely don’t need to buy one of these, but its nice for practice.)

4. What do you wish someone had told you when you first started your first year? What would you do differently if you could do it all over again?

Don’t feel pressured to change your learning/studying style. (i.e. If you never liked making flashcards in the past, you don’t need to start using them now!) Stick with the routine and techniques that got you here!

5. Please comment on each topic below:

Whom to go to if you need help – MSP teachers (second year med students), your big sib, your College Advisor, Dean Loeser

Managing extracurricular activities and academics – Don’t sign up for TOO many electives. 1-2 per quarter is plenty.

Research in medical school – Good for the summer, but I think doing research while in class would be very hard.

Summer activities – Going abroad is great, as is the Curriculum Ambassador program. Build in some time when you can totally relax too.

6. How did you study for small group? What’s the best way to prepare for small group and to do well in small group?

Work through the questions in advance. If you get really stuck, there’s no need to obsess over it — your questions will be answered during the small group.

7. What resources (books, websites, etc) did you use for:

Anatomy – Netter’s, Syllabus

Physiology – Syllabus

Pathology – Syllabus, online modules

Histology – Syllabus, online slides

Biochemistry – Syllabus

Pharmacology – Syllabus

Neurology – Blumenfeld (get this book!), Syllabus

Respiratory system – Syllabus

Cardiovascular system – Syllabus

Gastrointestinal system – Syllabus

Muskuloskeletal system – Syllabus, Netter’s
