General tips for Exams
Can’t think of very much to advice on…
Pharmacology
o While learning and preparing for exam, relate all pharmacology to practice.
o You’ll have to know the 15 general pharmacology lectures + autonomic drugs, 10 systemic pharmacology lectures, 15 therapeutic seminars. The rest of the drugs (immunosuppressants, antimicrobials etc) will be tested to little extent.
o Practice MCQs from the exams for pharmacology students. Some of our medicine seniors will have a copy.
COFM
o Apply COFM to daily life and clinical cases such as COPD (smoking cessation), alcoholic liver cirrhosis etc…
o Learn as much as you can during the CMC and CHP – these are the practical stuff.
o Keep updated with the latest happenings – read The Straits Times.
