I'm a PGY-2. I feel like I've learned a lot so far this year, but I still feel like most of my knowledge as been learned by self-study & a few key attendings who put forth the effort to actually teach minutia & explain their reasoning. I feel like I am mostly teaching myself though. I feel like there are aspects of the neuro exam I am missing because I haven't been formally shown parts of it. When it comes to AEDs I'm only really comfortable with like 3 of them (basically only in the context of status) & don't know a good resource for learning specific applications/ADRs other than uptodate (I've only had 1 week of epilepsy to be fair). I don't think I can do a Dix-Hallpike (at least it hasn't worked once yet) of Epley maneuver. I'm still terrible at fundoscopic exams.
My institution is far from top tier, but it does have some VERY good attendings, but others that just go through the motions. I'm just worried that I'm not getting the most out of it & want to be exposed to as much as possible before going off on my own. Is this normal? I've been running through the Cheng-Ching neurology boards review book to learn. My goal is to nearly finish the questions by the end of the year. Is there anything else I can/should be doing?
