Abstract

This study aims to assess the learning habits of first-year M.B.B.S (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) students at Bhavnagar Medical College. Learning habits play a crucial role in students' academic performance and overall success in medical education. The research utilizes a survey-based approach to collect data on students' study routines, learning strategies, time management skills, and preferences for study resources. A representative sample of first-year medical students will be selected, and their learning habits will be evaluated using a structured questionnaire. The findings from this study will offer insights into the learning behaviors of medical students and may inform educational interventions to optimize their learning experiences and academic achievements.
