Junior Paeds

Good day to 2k15,

in regards to the Junior Paeds rotation.

thanks to the Fellow Med student of the class of 2k12... there is a
lovely set of notes that if u read this and know this inside-out.. u
can pass your peads exam no problem.

Notes

VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS FOR THE MCQ:
1. the mild-stones of Child development
2. rashes
3. management of children resp symptoms
4. children with a fever
5. immunization

BUT STILL READ THROUGH EVERYTHING!.... AND A TIP FOR THE MCQ WHICH IS
COMPUTERIZED AND DONE AT THE  HOPWOOD CENTER... IF U SEE A PICTURE ...
HOVER YOUR  MOUSE OVER THE PIC FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE TITLE OF THE
PIC WILL COME UP ;)

but in all honesty the notes are quite sufficient (some persons in the faculty say that some of the stuff are not right.... i have yet to find something that is wrong...but anyway)

the major skill you should acquire from this rotation is your history
taking of a pediatric Hx. use the outline you were giving and you
should be fine.  It is this skill you will use to do you case notes...
which is very important + the discussion.


NOTE!!!!!!: DO NOT FORGE SIGNATURES IN THIS ROTATION... DR TROTMANN
CHECKS EVERY SINGLE PROCEDURE CARD AND WILL CALL YOU BACK AFTER SHE
SEES THE DISCREPANCY... AND SHE ALSO REMEMBERS CASE NOTE
DISCUSSIONS... go figure... SO PLEASE BE CREATIVE AND SMART WITH YOUR
DISCUSSION

PLEASE NOTE THAT IN MY YEAR WE DID NOT HAVE A HISTORY TAKING OSCE STATION SO IF U WISH TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS... PLEASE GO TO ONE OF THE PERSONS FROM 2K14 (THEY ARE THE FIRST BATCH OF STUDENTS TO DO THE A HISTORY TAKING OSCE STATION)

ALSO NOTE THAT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON MY 3RD YEAR EXPERIENCE AND THE OLDER YEARS... PLEASE CONSULT FRIENDS FROM 2K14 FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRICULUM
