greenmood Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I confess to a curiosity about what my fellow PA students across the country are up to right now. I know a lot of you all have blogs and stuff, but I thought it would be fun to chat about the stuff we're learning. I'm in the final stretch of the 3rd quarter, one week into the three-week pulmonary unit. Geriatrics and pediatrics continue to be interesting adjuncts. PE this week is the neuro exam, and we have a bulky, foul-smelling pharm test on Friday covering a lot of psych and endocrine drugs. So... whatcha doin'? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted January 25, 2012 Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2012 Clinical rotation in rural family medicine, which means applying a bunch of diverse topics on whatever walks in the door. Hasn't entirely been URI's, DM II, and HTN management, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellajoy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Pharm, physiology, clinical medicine, psychiatric principles, research, and immunology. Currently learning: Hypersensitivity reactions in immunology, way too many statistical things and writing a paper in research (gearing up for writing capstone project paper next quarter), eating disorders in psych, just finished a big test in Pharm (anti-anginals, arrhythmics, CHF drugs, anemia drugs, antithrombotics/-lytics, and CA drugs), onto female reproductive in physiology, and just finished male GU in clin med. It's never ending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmood Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 We had peds this afternoon. It was a 2.5 hour nephrology lecture... it seemed identical to the pediatric urology lecture we got two weeks ago in genmed. I suppose repetition is important, but I like the summary we got two weeks ago: everything causes kidney failure, and kidney failure causes everything.

fyrelight74 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just finishing a mini-semester on EKG interpretation and radiology... a 6 week intensive. We go back to normal didactic semesters on February 13th. That will include our regular medicine science and physical exam by system, plus genetics and pharmacology.

greenmood Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hell week... we're finishing the quarter with fluids and electrolytes but have a cumulative pharm exam on Friday so no one is giving acid/base its due. End quarter exams are next week including our physical exam final: a head-to-toe PE on one of the actor patients. We received our preliminary clinical placements for our core rotations. Much excitement, and trading. I didn't see any tears, but our coordinator warned us there's no crying in PA school (in public, anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellajoy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Jealous of the finding out of the clinical placements....we don't find out until April, I believe (start them in June). I so am ready for the end of May...end of didactic year and break before clinicals! We have a week and a half of finishing GI (in clin med, physiology, and Pharm) and then finals before quarter break...can't wait. We also all are doing our first male GU/DRE exams this week...so glad our first ones were on standardized patients and not "real" ones!

mjohnson3604 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 What a great thread! I was curious too ;) We're finishing Rheumatology, starting Endocrine (Clinical Medicine/Pharm/Diagnostic Labs& procedures--combined units), Surgery, Public Health/Diversity, & Patient Assessment (visit the hospital and take patient HPIs). Greenmood, are you in an IL school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
