assalamualaikum w.b.t...
-pic taken after Pro Exam 2-
after year 1, ofcourse la next masuk ke year 2 kan :D alhamdulillah..with a lot of tearss and money, you will be grateful just to be given opportunity to enter year 2 :D
lets get back to the topic..
macamana life year 2?
year 2 lebih kurang year 1..the flow, the formats...but personally, i love year 2 more :)
side notes: for those yang rasa year 1 tu struggle, seksa, tak tahu if you choose the right course or not, and cried a lot, just cry dulu..you will see what future prepare for you soon <3
apa yang sama dengan year 1?
-->modules :)
SEM1:
-->Fundamental
-->Musculoskeletal (MSK)
-->Hemopoietic (Hemo)
-->Cardiovascular (CVS)
-->Respiratory (Respi)
SEM2:
-->Gastrointestinal (GIT)
-->Renal
-->Reproductive
-->Neuro (CNS)
-->Endocrine
-->Community Medicine
-each modules will be divided into 3 subjects..
-each subjects will content few topics and subtopics..
apa yang different?
-->subjects :)
year 1 ada Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry..
year 2 ada Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology..
Pathology - all about abnormal condition of the bodies..
Microbiology - all about bacteria, viruses, parasites.....
Pharmacology - all about drugs..
division dia tetap sama - macam fireworks..each subject will be divided into plus minus 200 topics :)
apa yang best in year 2?
-soalan ni depends individual jugak kot..as for me, i think lagi best sebab kita lagi tahu apa yang nak focus untuk study..so takdela nak kena tahu semua benda :) [lagipun untuk overall dah pernah hafal waktu year one kann :)]
-example, in year 2, division subtopics tu memang banyak..tapi kita akan tahu nak hafal macamana..contohnya under endocrine module(pathology)..subtopic dia about hyperthyroid/hypothyroid..so just hafal everything about that disease je..anatomy from year 1 just kaitkan dengan important things..contohnya location, blood supply..and why location n blood supply important to know in that disease :)
how to study?
-yang ni lain orang lain cara dia..my way of study mungkin tak sesuai dengan orang lain..same goes to other's way of study mungkin tak sesuai dengan me..
-contohnya, mostly ppl cakap study group is very important..but for me, yanie tak boleh absorb study group..i prefer to study sorg2, fahamkan dulu sendiri, cuba tengok buku or any other resource, dah faham nanti confirmkan with lecturer..later waktu study group yanie just dengar apa orang lain nak discuss je..if nak absorb untuk fahamkan waktu tu memang tak boleh..again, its depends on individual..so, find yours..jangan ikut orang :)
-most people love to study smart..tapi bagi yanie, myself perlu study hard jugak..i put study hard before study smart..sebab i think im comfortable that way :D
exams?
-again..exam year 2 sama je dengan year 1..ada 5 division..
-->Progress Test 1
-->Semester 1
-->Progress Test 2
-->Semester 2
-->Professional Exam 2 (final & major one)
division on each exam pun sama:
MCQ - 60minutes
MEQ1 - 20minutes
MEQ2 - 20minutes
SEQ - 20minutes
OSCE - 1-2hours
**but for Pro Exam SEQ ada dua :)
year 2 might be different from year 1 dari segi each and everyone's character etc..indirectly you will realize that :)
to be in medicine is tough..but believe me, you are tougher :) sama je dengan course lain..ada difficulty levels masing2..kita yang dalam medicine mungkin rasa our course dah susah..tapi orang lain in other course pun ada struggle mereka jugak..so dont underestimate anyone :)
with hard work and honesty, insyaAllah everything will goes well..doa banyak2 :)
after Pro Exam nanti boleh rehat puas2 before masuk year 3 :D
ohh btw batch kitorang semua pass untuk Pro Exam 2!i'm a proud batchmate :'D alhamdulillahh <3
**like always, if ada anything to ask boleh drop kat comment..insyaAllah nanti yanie reply mana yang termampu :)
xoxo,
yanie
