1. 15 days are enuf :D
2. Get FA or UW or Both for notes
3. Locate a practice partner at usmlebuddies site
4. Start with first mastering D/Ds for each standard cases on UW + FA
5. Thoroughly learn the Symptoms list for each System
[ 4 and 5 helps history taking as mentioned on the steps in my blog - compile a list of all mnemonics for 4. and 5. ]
6. Practice History-taking dialogues and exam with practice partner
7. Develop ur own protocol for SP encounter as it evolves with practice
8. Practice writing Patient Note within 10 mins for each standard case
9. keep practicing with ur partner to refine ur talking skills as per ur protocol to reach a certain level of automaticity and reduce time.
10. Simple strategies can reduce time like checking both eyes for pallor/icterus simultaneously instead of one-by-one, using layman terms to reduce questions from SPs., combing handwashing with a standard history question, etc.
