In my faculty, we sail final year of medical school working in department (am not sure if we are really doing it though) and cap every rotation with state exam (STATEX)
STATEX means viva in front of a board of examiners.
That being said the board of examiners is made of specialists from different specialties.
Example in surgery we have so many types of surgeon. Breast surgeon, urosurgeon, cardiosurgeon.
So since we know who are in the board, we can choose. Get it?
Say if you think kidney is a tough subject and will most likely be a stumbling rock in your quest for red diploma (sth like 1st class degree), you may choose a board without nephrologist for you STATEX.
Words of wisdom from a Dr that taught us diabetes recently.
Talk about disease that you only have seen from textbook and even the doctor has seen only one in 10 years of his career. Be prepared that he will be so inquisitive about the disease. after all, we mere human always fuss over things that is not usual
Focus and talk about the bread and butter in medicine ie diabetes, hypertension, cholesterolemia. Doctor will either yawn off or expect you to know ins and outs of the disease. after all, it sure will come on handy when you launch yourself into the workforce.
For me, ultimately it's work and Allah permission that will see me through medschool.
Happy studying!
