    how do you use this when you are trying to cover all the topics in each section, for example, we need to cover surgery, cardiology and etc and perhaps they are 10 in total and they each have 10 topics to cover, how can i use this method to cover all the materials?

    • @TomWatchman
      @TomWatchman Před 4 měsíci

      Hi. You can just create a bigger spreadsheet. Instead of cardiology, general surgery, respiratory etc, you could have cardiovascular disease, acute coronary syndrome, angina, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation etc.

    • @TomWatchman
      @TomWatchman Před 6 měsíci

      absolutely! the same strategies apply to any medical exam. spaced repetitions of the content is optimal - meaning spacing the times you go through to content out (e.g., review the same content after 48 hours ,then after 1 week then after 3 weeks and so on)

    Hey Tom How do I become less paranoid about not knowing enough and this fear that I might harm patients in the future because I’m not memorizing textbooks or anything my of that sort and I’m just pushing by and trying to retain the most important knowledge for exams :(

    • @TomWatchman
      @TomWatchman Před 7 měsíci

      Hi. I think a big part of it is accepting that you will never know everything and being aware of the gaps in your knowledge (including being aware that there are many things you will not even known that you don't know). Not everything falls on one person - the system should be set up so that you are always able to take the time needed to find out the answers or to call on someone with the necessary skills to help. Even the most experienced and knowledgable doctors will have gaps in their knowledge.

    Hi Tom, i haven't even watched this video yet, but all I want to say is a HUGE THANK YOU! I am a doctor myself and found you on Spotify when one of my consultants suggested listening to podcasts while commuting as I have no time to revise at home with the kids. It really helped me re-learn long forgotten topics and the best thing is when I encounter a relevant case at work I can quickly navigate in your page and find what I want as if I already read it. The rest is really filling the gaps with more advanced knowledge but what really matters is to know the basics. In this way it really sticks with me and after recently having gone though the whole medical topics I feel more confident than ever. I have shared your podcasts with tons of colleagues, especially the more junior ones as it is a great way of putting things together whiout getting overwhelmed. Your patients are so lucky!
