Studying for the Pharm exam last week :S |
After our Adult Medicine
exam in pulmonology, reading week is now just around the corner. We’ve been delving deeper into patient
assessment learning the pulmonary and cardiovascular physical exam.
2 weeks ago I was able to
shadow a nurse at the Aboriginal Wellness Centre. This was a great experience.
I felt very close to the community and that the centre was truly helping the
people it served. The centre had a holistic approach which I find important. It
opened me up to thinking about primary care and family medicine. Unfortunately
I did not have early exposure last week but this week I will be at school to
listen to Harvey the heart sounds robot.
When we get back from the
break we look forward to restarting our once a week exams beginning with our
Psychiatry midterm. This exam will cover
DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) terminology, mental
status exam, psychiatry history documentation and mood, anxiety, psychotic and somatoform disorders.
I think we deserve some rest, don’t you? :P
