Has anybody used CLIPP cases for the Peds shelf?

Pretty self explanatory thread. I was wondering if anyone used CLIPP cases in addition to a question source (Pre-Test/A & L) to study for the shelf? Thanks for any advice.

it's been a while, but i did use the CLIPP cases for the peds shelf, since one of our school requirements was to complete a certain number of them for the rotation (10 maybe?).

anyway, i did find them helpful and thought they were an easy way to remember some "likely-to-be-tested" concepts. it takes a fair amount of time to go through them, however, and another resource such as pretest, may be more efficient.

resources i used: casefiles, pretest, and all CLIPP cases. i found all three to be helpful, with CF and pretest most effective for me, personally.

hope this helps.

I used these first week of rotation, did 2-3 a day to get the basics of peds. Really enjoyed them, but I'm not sure how well they would work for the shelf.

We are required to do them all, and they are worthless. For the shelf and just in general.

Basically. Pre-test is the way to go.

We are required to do 31 of them for our 4 week rotation...yay!!! 🙄

We did not take the shelf for peds, but it might as well have been considering what a pain it was to take. My school bought CLIPP and the test was written on it, what I did is read through the case, and printed off the summaries which I studied for the test. It works out fine.🙂

We had to do them at our school as well. They're pretty helpful, but I doubt they're the most effective way to study for the shelf. There's too much non-shelf related stuff like "what history question would you ask next?"

Ditto, but we didn't have to do them all, we had to do about 10 of them. I used Blueprints and Casefiles and did well.

Some decent learning objectives, but way too low yield stuff and questions that aren't very shelf like on them ("Select all of the following questions you'd ask"). I'd skip them as much as your school lets you.
