MBBS: entering year 4 (what to prepare)

 assalamualaikum w.b.t...




long time no see..dah lama tak share something related to study in here..so today rasa macam nak share something 

for year 3, mungkin a lot of things need to be prepared sebab baru nak kenal dengan clinical years..but for year 4 actually nothing much pun..sebab mostly kita dah prepare waktu pre clinical & year 3..cuma untuk each posting tu kena prepare barang2 dia jela sesikit..

me sharing these ikut my experience - as a pandemic student..so macam a bit different from previous2 batch..

as usual, we all begin dengan theory class - online..

before kita go one by one, let me list out all the postings in year 4 (in msu)..
____________________________
year 4 ada plus minus 10 postings..

1) Elective posting
2) Community Medicine
3) Primary Care
4) Specialty posting 1 (forensic, ENT, ophthalmology)
5) Specialty posting 2 (radiology, anaest, ortho)
6) Psychiatry

sequence dia macam biasa - ikut batch..actually kalau ikutkan pengalaman seniors, the sequence untuk year 4 macam pening sikit..sebab dorg akan divide class into half, and both half akan pergi different posting..
but due to pandemic, so dorang selaraskan je semua satu batch..means everyone akan pergi ikut sequence posting yang sama..cuma giliran ke hospital je berbeza..

and another difference is, selalunya elective posting will be at the enddddd of the year..tapi for us, kitorang begin dengan elective posting..and supposedly elective posting can choose to be any posting..tapi for us cannot..memang kena buat research as elective..no choice..

back to original point, what to prepare for year 4? whitecoat memang wajib la kan..sini yanie letak barang2 basic yang perlu ada..and penting..yang nak add tu boleh add later..


1) Elective Posting (research)
- laptop with hugeee storage, big ram..sebab nanti kena pakai spss..and read lotssss of articles..so possibility untuk laptop tu hang tinggi..
- money (in case kena print questionnaire)

--> for elective posting, as kitorg kena buat research, so memang most of the time baca articles, do discussions and do research jela..pernah hadap research before this pun still sakit kepala jugak nak hadap once again..eheh
--> stress level: ****

2)Community Medicine
- sama jugak dengan elective posting..sebab commed ni pun buat research jugak..penat dia jela yang different pun..
- stress level: ***

3)Primary Care
- stethoscope (tak perlu beli baru, pakai yang dah ada je..tapi kena ada sendiri punya la senang)
- BP set (sebab nanti if pergi ward better bawak sendiri..beli yang aneroid je..kat kamal bookstore baru RM80 one set)
- pentorch (ni pun actually semua orang supposedly dah ada)
- stress level: ***

4)Specialty Posting 1
-->ENT
- metal tongue depressor (rm10)
- thudicum nasal speculum (rm20)
- otoscope (rm200-rm500)

**BUT dont worry, if tak mampu, otoscope tu tak perlu beli lagi pun takpe..cuma if mampu boleh beli siap2..

-->Ophthal
- ophthalmoscope (rm200-rm500)
- pentorch
- neurokit (if nak beli baru - rm8-rm16)

-->Forensic
- kecekalan :D basically untuk forensic no need to prepare any apparatus pun..cuma kena kental sikit sebab nanti nak kena stay kat bilik mayat for atleast a day long untuk buat autopsy..kena prepare mental for the bau..

overall stress level: ***

5)Specialty Posting 2
-->Radiology
- no need to prepare apa2 sangat..just prepare diri je..sebab nanti film tu Dr yang tunjuk..
- buku? takde apa sangat jugak..pakai slides Dr, dengar lecture dah enough actually

-->Anaest
- pun takde apa2 sangat to prepare..just stetoscope jela..tu pun tak pakai sangat..later kat hospital pun kita masuk OT pakai scrubs, bawak logbook je..
- scrubs tak perlu sendiri punya - nanti pakai yang kat hospital :)

-->Ortho
- neurokit
- tendon hammer

overall stress level: ***


6)Psychiatry Posting
- lagi takde apa2 to prepare..kena prepare mental jela kot extra sikit 🥰
- psychiatry actually fun untuk those yang minat..

stress level: **
