🧵 How to get so good at something you can teach it?

I am a 3rd year pharmacy student who's passed his courses due to YouTube. There's always someone that explains whatever concept in 30 minutes. Granted, sometimes the explanations are oversimplified and the university course I am taking is much more detailed and has more nuanced information, but the simplified YouTube tutorial primes me to understand the more nuanced stuff.
My degree has three pathways: chemical pathway, pharmaceutics pathway, and biological-pharmacological pathway.
The chemical pathway includes gen chem, phys chem, organic chem, and analytical chem, and some other miscellaneous chemistry courses.
The pharmaceutics pathway includes... pharmaceutics courses
The biological-pharmacological pathway involves basic biology, physiology, pathophysiology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, pharmacotherapy, etc.
If we were to split my interest in these 3 pathways, I am 70% into biological-pharmacological pathway, about 29% into the chemical pathway, and only 1% into pharmaceutics (meh).
I want to get so good at chemistry and biological-pharmacological pathway that I can literally teach it.
What I plan to do:
>Print university handouts for each course I've completed from the archive.
>Get the reference textbooks that the handouts are written from + the best textbook on the topic as a supporting resource.
>Find the best YouTube videos that explain each discipline.
>Somehow, I don't know how, find past year questions
>Drill everything + use Anki and space out my studying over a long duration of time so I can absorb all the concepts
Is this enough? What else to do? I want to be an expert in what I want to master
