So this is definitely a third or fourth life for me.

I feel like I have done a little bit of everything from a gym owner, profession athlete, security contractor, poker dealer, casino manager, emergency department scribe, and even an English teacher for foreign students. My interest in medicine was sparked from the evolution of knowledge and…

Hey everyone,

@allysond , @EdD and I just did some telemedicine work yesterday, and I would say it was a lot more difficult than expected. With the COVID situation it is definitely the preferred method now for patients and physicians, but for the importance of data gathering it can be a challenge to not physically be with a patient to get the clear…

Hey Noel,

So in Med 1 I tried to do the cheat sheet thing on CAS 1. I remember attempting to draw the entire brachial plexus, but midway through I couldn’t remember anything. I continued to start the exam frustrated and worried I didn’t really know the content like I thought. I shortly realized that once I calmed down a bit and focused on the…

Hey Chris! I agree, but the ability to understand the path and bring it down to the level of biochem is a skill that will allow you to crush Step!! Remember that the leading cause of death for a person with an Mi is the arrhythmia.

Hey guys!

So there is an untouched topic that I spent some time prepping for:

What structure do you prefer for taking your breaks? What are your plans for step, and how do you think you will section the breaks between blocks?

Will you bring food, coffee, RedBull, music, a book, notes?

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 12:50:39 -0400

I once read a statement from a resource saying that its ok to have lower scoring blocks, especially as you push the boundaries. This is showing you that you are learning, and as long as you spend the time reviewing the material of the question/block, you are advancing in the material. Stay focused and do not let a bad block kill your vibe!

Thu, 09 Jul 2020 16:21:17 -0400

I had a lot of issues studying at home. There is a disconnect from people who aren’t in this intense curriculum, and they have a hard time understanding the commitment you need to succeed. This is why it is important to maximize your effectiveness and efficiency when you are studying.
