Last minute topics to review for CK

[drdude21]

Not planning on studying, per se, the day before the test -- just want to go over some last minute high yield topics. Here's what I have so far:

-PPD guidelines
-developmental milestones
-immunodeficiencies
-commonly tested EKGs

Anything else I should take a quick last look at? Thanks for any suggestions.

Surprisingly, I don't think I had even one milestone question yesterday.

Me either on Friday.

Your list looks good to me! If you are weak on Cards or OB/GYN, I might do a quick skim for high yield topics in those areas.

ACLS guidelines

Bingo. I just want to look over my ACLS cards.

I feel like there is always a handful of questions which could be answered by knowing the front and back of those cards.

Is there any pdf/online copies of the ACLS algorithms? I don't have the cards anymore.

Doesn't First Aid have 100 fast facts or something like that? Study that. But really, your best bet is to create a "Brain Dump" full of confusing/easily forgotten high-yield topics like this

Survivor DO

Oh also heart sounds would be a good thing to listen to the night or morning before the test.

You google image them. There is a free iphone app with a pdf of them too.

I would add:
-ACLS guidelines
-breast cancer & workup for breast mass
-thyroid nodule & workup

 

[FiestyFutureDr]

I take it on Tuesday and am going to review ACLS, w/u for various masses (breast, thyroid, solitary pulm nodule), common EKGs, commonly-tested syndromes, and biostat concepts that I always forget.

Here is a link to ACLS algorithms that I found if you still need it. http://usmle287.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/acls-algorithms/

Do not bother with developmental milestones. Not necessary after the peds shelf.
