first aid

Good morning friends, So I started studying for step 1. I finished the introductory(microbiology, biochem, pharmacology etc.) chapters of FA. Then I went through the cardiology section in 2 days. After that I started doing the Uworld questions. I did about 200 questions with all subjects...

I just finished up my MS1 year at a school that does organ blocks and definitely doesn't teach to step 1. This summer I want to review everything I learned for MS1. This is what we covered: (Anatomy, Macromolecules, cell phys, genetics, histology, pharm, path, Epidemiology) Dermatology...

Hi everyone! :) I'm currently getting ready to apply this summer/fall and had a quick question about CPR/AED/First Aid Certifcations.. Does anyone know if certification through online/blended courses are accepted or does it have to be in a classroom setting? Thanks in advance!

I'm packing a small kit for emergencies and because of a lack of space I don't have room for a neosporin tube. This got me thinking: In a critical emergency situation, in which reliable help and treatment is on the way, is it really necessary to use antibiotics or even sterile dressings?

So, I'm finding it too passive to just read FA cover-to-cover, but I keep finding sources that say this is the way to go. On the flip-side, I have used ANKI (Bros deck) and have loved it. Anyone have any thoughts on using USMLE-Rx Express Videos combo'd with ANKI in place of reading FA?

So I don't see an up to date poll for this - and times change. So the best backbone of step 2 CK studying is: UWorld + Which book? (there may be other types of resources, but I'm interested in the best Text). Let's say for a 4 week study period (haven't started a prep book yet).

Hello fellow med students! I am a current M2 and have younger sibling who is preparing to begin M1 year this August. My brother has recently been asking me many questions about what books/sources he will need, so I figured I would pass this information on to the medical community at large --...

Hey Guys, I'm about to start my preparation for Step 1 and was wondering which resources I should be using to benefit the most out of. For starters, I'm not a fan of reading and studying so I think I do better with videos and/or pictures and flow charts. So what are the materials I should...

Anyone have a comprehensive anki deck for FA 2016/2017?? Please don't tell me to google- already did and it resulted in decks that were too old (2014) or those that didn't specify the edition used Thanks!!

When I studied for the MCAT in undergrad, I realized that a lot of the information I was finding in my books was relevant to stuff I learned in class. More so, it seemed to condense and help me understand the material so much easier than some of my professors, especially the organic chemistry...

Hello friends, I am scheduled to take the exam in 10 days but still have about 300 pages of First Aid to read through. My pace has been incredibly slow and I just can't seem to read the damn thing. I have been pretty good about doing questions and am almost finished with UWorld with scores...

In First Aid (2016 pg. 192; 2015 pg. 200) it says that microbial resistance to our adaptive immune system is "not heritable," whereas microbial resistance to our innate immune system "persists through generations and does not change within an organisms lifetime." Any idea what the heck this means?

Why is cerebral palsy not covered in First Aid/Step 1? Seems weird for a common disorder like that not to be introduced. Just wondering

Anyone have success using this for Step 1 prep? It looks pretty awesome- I'm almost tempted to use it instead of First Aid but part of me thinks that would be a stupid idea. I just can't seem to learn anything from First Aid in the format it's in- Crush is basically First Aid in paragraph form. HALP

Does anyone have experience using both of these flashcard sets for learning First Aid? FlashFacts seems pretty decent- or at least it's way more active than sitting there trying to read First Aid (also a good way of reinforcing things and identifying weak areas after one read through of a First...

I was wondering if its worth the extra money to get the 5th Edition of First Aid Step 2 CS or if I can easily get by using the 4th edition. Thank you!
