resources used: Blueprints Obstetrics & Gynecology textbook, Rosh Review questions, Pance Prep Pearls, old lecture material) OBGYN-study-guide-1: (beware – this is ~50 pages long. A Comprehensive Review For the Certification and Recertification Examinations for Physician Assistants.I believe it was around $169 for over 3,000 practice questions. A bunch of people from my program wanted a membership to this, so they gave us a discounted price. Rosh Review questions – I also buy the boost exam before taking the exams and they were been helpful.They have step by step videos with illustrations that help with hard to grasp concepts (cough cough cardiology). Osmosis videos – I bought a subscription to osmosis last year and it was hugely helpful.Going through the topic lists / blueprints and making study guides from the following resources:.It takes so much time and energy for them to take you under their wing, and it’s good to return the love with some snacks!!! And if you can, bring in a little something special on your last day. Write hand written thank you notes to preceptors at the end of the rotation.Seems so simple but it’s nice to come in on your second day and have someone know your name! One of the students in the class above us recommended this. Ask everyone’s name on your first day!!! And write it down, commit it to memory.if you get tired, or get there early walk some stairs – helps wake you up / energize you!.A quick bite before made all the difference.
I personally do not do well when I don’t eat and I’m in a claustrophobic mask for 4+ hours. there were days where I’d get to my clinic site and go straight to pre-rounds and then right down to the pre-op room from there. always keep a bar or snack of sorts in your pocket.And it was such an amazing experience that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. if there’s something you’d like to do, just ask! I had the opportunity to shadow the lactation consultant at my OB/GYN rotation.buy compression stockings for surgery rotations.be eager, be gracious, be kind, be curious. go see a patient before your preceptor, pre-round before your preceptor, take on a challenging case and research it when you get home. Of course, it goes without being said don’t do anything that is beyond your skill set, but get uncomfortable. say yes to anything and everything, even if you don’t have a flying CLUE what you’re doing.Hopefully they’re helpful!! Be warned the formatting will be atrocious and there will be typos a plenty, but most of the pertinent information should be there, enough to pass the EOR at least! I’m also posting the study guides that I make along the way. So this will be a budding post about the resources I’ve found helpful and tips for rotations. I am elated to say that I have so far passed all of my EOR exams and rotations.
