I just got results back from that first progress test which was part of a research project to see what type of feedback was beneficial. The test did not contribute to our overall mark, and the questions were of things we should know by the end of the year though, rather than at this stage of the year, so I was clueless on quite a few of them. Nevertheless though, I felt quite comfortable with some of those questions.
Apparently I got 38/80 overall; Ambulatory 44%, Medicine 50%, Surgery 50%. It is kind of a relief that it seems like I know quite a significant portion of what we are expected to know at the end of the year, but there is still quite a way to go. At my clinical school they decided to move several of the rotating term lectures into the foundation block though. I wonder what my score would have been if that didn't happen. Anyway, I should look at the more detailed feedback when I have time after revising more lectures from foundation block.
Right now at the clinical school, I am in the "medicine" rotation. There are a lot less lectures this week than in foundation block! I've also had some more practice with the table tennis, so my skill level has returned to near the level I was before; although I wish there was more space around the table tennis table at the clinical school. We can run into chairs and other obstacles trying to return shots!
Hello everyone. I graduated with Doctor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne in 2015. I previously attained a Bachelor of Biomedicine at Melbourne in 2011. This blog documents some of my journey so far, starting from the year before I got into medicine. It also contains discussions of other issues with varying degrees of relevance to medicine or the selection process that I decide to bring up.
