I could say that this is the most critical days I had to go through. This is when I finished my
second reading and be really ready for the med boards.
During this days, no more petics days, no more sleeping all day, no more going to the mall!
I locked up myself in my dorm room the entire day and would just go out for few minutes to
buy my meals.
This is my schedule for the first 6 days of February, I did not religiously follow it but I could say I
finished my second reading for most of the subjects.
I also did answer samplex during this time to gauge my knowledge and testing skills.
In retrospect, this is the platform of my schedule during the past few months of my review for
med boards:
DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER (starting at 3rd week):
Topnotch provided schedule for us to follow:
*FIRST READING/LECTURE FOR:
- MICROBIOLOGY,
- HISTOLOGY,
- INTERNAL MEDICINE SAMPLEX RATIONALE
- BIOCHEMISTRY
- I attended the review lectures in Topnotch. But because I felt like I wasn't 100% ready yet to
fully involve myself to the review, I would somehow absent myself to some lectures and just
sleep the whole day in my dorm room, or sometimes go to the mall, or just simply go home to
my family.
- I tried to read a review book like Made ridiculously simple for Microbiology during this time,
along with the Topnotch review notes but again, I wasn't able to finish my first reading during
this time.
- I was absent for Histology lectures, and some microbio and biochem lectures. I just am lazy. lol
but I tried to catch up with what I missed by reading.
*** Microbio and biochem lecture was real good.
*** According to my classmates, the lecture in histology was also good and comprehensive.
DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER & DECEMBER:
Topnotch provided schedule for us to follow:
*NOVEMBER: FIRST READING/LECTURE FOR:
- PHYSIOLOGY,
- OB-GYN,
- PREV MED,
- LEGAL MEDICINE,
- ANATOMY
- I missed all the 5 lectures for Physiology and 1 lecture of OB-GYN because I had to go abroad
to attend my sister's wedding.
- I was only present for 1 lecture out of the 3-day lecture series for Anatomy. Simply because I
thought I would learn best if I self study for this subject because Anatomy was really my
weakness. So I had to focus more and work on it at my own pace. But sadly I wasn't able to
finish my first reading though. :p
Lastly, I would just like to courageously say to you that you can reach your dream, as I have
reached mine, if you are truly sincere to turn your back on non-sense things you are used to
doing and really dedicate yourself to study and review for the medical boards.
I do agree that the medical boards should not be the gauge of anybody's capability and
capacity to be a truly licensed physician but I also believe that the medical boards reaffirms
one to surely believe in yourself that you can truly and responsibly hold the noble gift of
healing.
