Download or read book Fire Medical School Companion written by You and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to excelling in the basic science years of medical school, with sections on: Overview of Medical School Lifestyle and Time Management Motivation and Mental Health Overall Basic Science Strategies Overall Basic Science Resources Subject Guides Each subject guide lays out an effective overall approach to the subject, outlines top resources to use, links you to clutch YouTube channels and videos, and, perhaps most coveted of all, provides unique and invaluable content-specific mnemonics and/or tips. Q: Who is this book designed for? A: All medical students in their basic science years, as well as all forthcoming/aspiring medical students looking to prepare themselves for medical school. Some sections of this book are especially helpful for early, new, and forthcoming medical students (e.g. Medical School Overview, Lifestyle and Time Management, etc.). The subject guides, however, contain brilliant tips, explanations, and mnemonics that will benefit all, including experienced students simply looking to review for a particular subject or exam (e.g. USMLE Step 1). Q: Is this book like First Aid for the USMLE Step 1? A: No, it's entirely different. First Aid presents all high-yield information for almost all major basic science topics and diseases; this book, on the other hand, teaches you how to approach each subject, offers optimal strategies to use, and provides unique mnemonics and tricks. The book was written with the assumption that students will be concurrently using First Aid. As such, it avoids repeating things, including mnemonics, that are in First Aid as much as possible, so as to keep your studies as efficient as possible. The book also contains sections addressing matters of lifestyle, motivation and mental health, and study strategies for the basic sciences.

Download or read book Collaborative Clinical Education written by Jane Westberg, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-11-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for those who are now, and those who intend to become, clinical teachers in the health professions. Its primary focus is the teaching of medical students and residents, but the principles discussed apply equally to teaching students in other health professions. The main focus is on the process of teaching--the strategies and tactics involved in helping others learn--and the authors discuss the generic steps, strategies, and principles of effective teaching that apply in any clinical setting. They do, however, draw numerous examples from clinical education in a variety of settings. The authors specifically stress the notion of collaboration, an issue closely related to the public's considerable dissatisfaction with the modern health care system. to create a more effective, responsive system, they argue, there is a need to change the ways that health care is provided and the way it is taught. A collaborative approach is needed in both health care and medical education, one that involves partnerships between clinicians and patients, and between teachers and learners. Also prominent throughout the book is the idea that clinical education can be planned and conducted in far more systematic ways than is now common. An overarching goal of the book is to provide readers with an enlarged set of options to consider using when faced with the inevitable multiciplicity of decisions confronting cllinical educators.
