hey guys,
i am sure you guys have heard about edward goljan..anyways..he is the KING od the USMLE step 1 and everyone that i have spoken to that has used his book has scored extremely high on their usmle step 1..here is what we are doing starting tomorrow..we are meeting in sdn's chat room at 8PM Eastern Standard time and we are going to discuss the topics included in his book for 10 days with one HY review on the 11th day and one power reivew on the 12th day..i think if we put our minds together we can achieve alot..if you have his audio, great, the book that corresponds to that is the book we are using, if you have rapid review, or stars you can use that as well..i am posting the schedule below..anyone who is interested please feel free to keep up with the readings and join us in the discussion starting tomorrow..any questions please email me at [email protected]

The group will meet everyday at 8PM in the www.studentdoctor.net chat room. Discussions should not exceed 1 hour and please come with any questions you may have..chapter is to be read and studied, corresponding goljan questions should be completed prior to discussion, and webpath questions can also be completed to the corresponding sessions..webpath address is as follows..: www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html

Schedule:

day 1(Thursday - April 14th) - cell injury

day 2(Friday - April 15th) - fluids and hemodynamics

day 3 -(Saturday - April 16th) Neoplasia


day 4 -(Monday - April 18th) Hematology 1-3

CNS


day 11-(Tuesday April 26th) Do comprehensive exam and HY
(discussion)


day 12-(Wednesday April 27th) HY+POWER REVIEW of all subjects and questions anyone

may have..

If this is successful we can do the same for first aid..it will only take an hour or less a day and i think this will force many of us to stick with a schedule and motivate eachother..I think it is crucial that everyone try to do the questions that goljan gives at the end of each section, and if possible, the webpath questions in that corresponding section. This way, when we are reviwing it together, we are actually reenforcing it for a third time, and when we do the HY and Power review we will have gone through all the material 4 to 5 times..not too bad for 10 days..Ideally, if everyone could use the notes that correspond to his audio that would be great, but his Stars or Rapid review i think arent too far off in content..when referring to webpath, go to where it says examinations, and take the exam for the corresponding day if you get a chance. I'm nto sure what time zone all of you are in so here is the time zone we will be meeting at. 8PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME..thats 7PM for all you in the mid west, and 5PM for all of you in the west..for any others around the world, please do the necessary mathematics..please do not hesitate to ask any questions about this meeting, or give me any input you may have..take care..
 
might want to make it a different channel than #studentdoctor

reg chat can get busy with people trying to unwind from their day or just chat to chat.

Dude, the triple posts REEK of desperation. It's kind of like the drunk, ugly sorority chick that hangs out around closing time at a bar looking for a hookup for the night. It is very obvious you are afraid no person will show up. Chill a little bit, and don't try so hard.
