A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Well, the D people also doesn't understand but they can't even memorize it either.
True.
I mean, ideally you have the A+ people that studied well, understand everything and retain that knowledge after graduation. Plus a ton of experience in the field, social abilities to handle all kinds of patients and pedagogical knowledge to transfer the necessary knowledge to the patients.
Pray, tell, does anyone know how to read and understand a course material and pass an exam on it without memorising?
In today's world of abundant distractions, reading is hard enough, reading to understand while loading your brain with other interactions seems to be an insurmountable task.
I am not a medical student, so this may be a stupid question, but if the study material is something like the name of each muscle in the body, what is there to understand and not just memorize?
How it works?
Typically, you'd need to maintain at least an A- average GPA to be accepted into the next year of study.
