Marlene G Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Of the many things that I can suggest, make a "Most Commons" list as you go through each lecture. That will come in so handy for exams and boards study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StaceyS. Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I couldn't agree more!!! I just finished my first phase and started clinicals. I have a ton of advice on my homepage for students who want to read all about the first year and how to survive. It's nothing fancy but it's got everything from A-Z on what it's like, what to expect, and how to survive. http://www.pastudentdiaries.com Along with the most common list, write out a list of the pathognomonic symptoms/signs of each disease! It's a life saver for exams! Good luck! Stacey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StaceyS. Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Also, to all the first years.... 1. Remember why you chose to do this. 2. Laugh when you can 3. Laugh when you can 4. If you truly love medicine, the rest is just details..... K...I'm done... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonW Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 StaceyS., I just popped over and looked at your website. It's awesome! Outstanding. Thanks for making the link available. So many of the things you say are SO, SO true! (Once I got the opportunity to tell an attending who asked me for a pen "My pen is already in your pocket...") Very good reading. Thanks!

v_chicky Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 okay, maybe it's because i've been studying the face and neck all day and my brain is refusing, but i can't figure out what i'd write on a "most common" card. could you give me an example please? also, for which subjects is this tactic useful?

tool man Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 what's the most common pathogen in Community Acquired Pneumonia? and 20,000 others.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene G Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 You will see it quite often in clin med and pathology. Most commons appear constantly. Some are so remote. What is the most common cardiac valve involved in cocaine dependence on autopsy - the tricuspid. What is the most commonly fractured bone of children - the clavicle. Which part is most commonly affected - the middle third. Toolman is correct. There are thousands of most commons and they are always good for an additonal 6 to 10 points or more on exams. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Fortunately (for my grade) our school didn't put much weight on knowing commons for tests. But Marlene's got an excellent point. If a teacher's got to pick things out of what he/she taught to test on, commons are immensely easy things to write questions on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
