Different people have different learning styles and this can
make it difficult to prepare for standardized exams. Personally I am a somewhat
visual learner so I really appreciate charts or images to help me study. One of
the tools I discovered when preparing for my exams were YouTube videos on
health topics. These videos are informative and were great review for me. Often
I would watch them as I ate or when I was taking my study breaks since they
require little effort. I did not rely heavily on them but like I said, they
offered a different way to repeat and strengthen the information I was reading
as I studied.
Here are some links:
Dr. Najeeb – I especially liked his lectures about antibiotics
(this is a link to the first of 4 videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9U_JDMgB7M&feature=related).
He has other lectures also available on his YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorNajeeb?feature=watch).
Armando Hasudungan – These are really creative and pictorial
lessons for a multitude of therapeutic topics (http://www.youtube.com/user/armandohasudungan?feature=watch).
He has a specific section for pharmacology (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL601B2E69B03FAB9D)
but I only found the hypertension videos useful.
There are many more (although these were the ones I watched)
and if you search key terms, like pharmacology, I’m sure you can find others.
I also must stress that you watch the OSCE vignette videos
that PEBC has online (http://www.pebc.ca/index.php/ci_id/5021/la_id/1.htm).
These are sample scenarios that prepare you for what to expect on the actual
exam.
I hope this helps!
