FINAL YEAR GUIDELINE 2017.
So, here comes Final Year. A year that is destined to make you “Dr.”. Final year is fun. But it doesn’t mean you don’t have to study. In fact, In final year you have to study more. But in a different way. After passing all the four profs, you'll have enough idea what important and what not. Ti which stuff, you have to give your time..and which stuff doesn’t need any revision at all.
Here is some guideline.
Important note:
In final year you have to study whole year.:p Try to cover maximum syllabus during ward times. And give your ward test as if it’s a prof.
this will eventually help you in prof prep. Do all the methods during your ward
time. Present cases in wards, OPDs. Assist surgeries. Make presentations. Be
clear about one thing. In final year you have to study yourself. No one will
spoon feed you. You have to learn
yourself. You have to present cases yourself. Presenting cases in wards
will help you in preparing long cases in
prof when you are given very short time. Rule is same in all. You may go in
detail if you want. But always cover important topics first.
Emergency classes:
Learn maximum during emergency timings. Emergencies are
best for learning. Things you should
learn during emergency morning/evening classes are :
- Xrays.
- Only important ECGS. Like MI, HYPERKALEMIA. A FIB.
- Instruments especially

OT instruments.

Bone tray.

SURGERY
Surgery is not hawwa at all. Surgery is easy to study as

- During ward study surgery as much as you can.
Topics to do must from Bailey:
Bailey is easy to study. Don’t go on its thickness/volume/breadth :P . it’s
easy to memorize. Method to study Bailey is ; read whole chap and add your own
points in summary boxes given at the end of each topic.. Than you only have to revise those
summary boxes and tables.

I did Kaplan medicine and Fischer’s lectures during our ward
time. First watch Kaplan videos. Than study Davidson. Or whichever book you want
to study. Don’t jump on Davidson without watching Kaplan videos. Please don’t study
INAM DANISH or other local books. Davidson is a good book.
OXFORD MEDICINE IS GOOD FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENTS.
Try to do PRESENTING PROBLEMS , INVESTIGATIONS walay topics
from Davidson just to have some good concepts. Also focus on tables of Davidson.
5Cs and their Infections from Davidson.
Endocrine achi tarah kr len. Coz it ll help you in surgery, paeds, gynae as well.
Bedside is for methods.
GEEKY. Com videos on YouTube are best for methods
