Well… In a couples of hours I begin kaplan. Some how a new adventure. And as far as I know the last track in my preparation for the Step 1.
[Update 08/21/2010]
What? the week passed so fast! I feel like I’m in my internship again. Not because of being at a hospital, but more because of being busy all the time.
Let me tell you about what has happened in the las couple weeks.
So, I sold my sold to the devil, I mean UCLA, more appropriate the Family Department of UCLA, and I got a scholarship in UCLA to prepare myself for the medical boards, that will help me to pass the boards with an excellent preparation and they will give me their support to get into a Medical Residence, a program that I wrote about a while ago. And I’m happy.
UCLA paid for kaplan, which is one of the best preparation program to get ready for the USMLE, and it is even better because it was free of cost for me. So now I have 7 months of videos and use of the Kaplan Center, 7 months of QBank, and a 7 week live lecture review by the end of October.
I’ve using the Kaplan Center for a week now, and I can surely say that it is the major league of examn preparation. The issue is that, as I stated earlier, I have seen people getting into UCLA that has no ideas of what it is like to be there, they do not know the materials or the subjeects being studied, and because of that they are struggling right know trying to cover as much as they can before they run out of time.
Fortunately for me, I had my pre-review course, so I already saw all the kaplan materials, and right know it would be my 2 full review of those materials. When I take my live lectures it would be the 3rd review, and i’d be making some sort of 4th review when I get to complete the Qbank in the last 2 months before my exam (that is in 6 months from now).
So far this week, I’ve been studying anatomy. 2nd review on this subject, and at a faster pace this time. By the end of this week I studied 19 hours of video, 400 pages of my book, and I made other 40 flash cards regarding the most important stuff (Anatomy and Pathology) I needed to learn when i began anatomy (e.g. Brachial Plexus, Abdominal Circulation, Carotid circulation, Femoral Plexus, Most important anastomoses, Embryologic derivatives from pharingeal’s arcs and pouches, and the list goes on and on).
Today I began Neuroscience, a enormous, giant, hill I need to overcome. I’ll take this whole week to study it. At a slow pace, understanding every detail and memorizing every bit of information. And by the end of the week, I’ll kick any neuroscience-resident’s butt.
I still can’t believe how fast my weekend passed by. Every night I arrived home, I tuned on my laptop, and i opened this draft to finish it, but it was not until today that I finally got some time to finish it.
I’ll probably won’t update with any new cartoons in the following months but I’ll try to update a little bit regarding how has been my process on preparing for the USMLE with a little help from UCLA.
Have a great weekend everyone!
So, today I received a comment I have received a lot in the last couple of years. And it is regarding on how I look.
Every 6 months or so I change my image, the way I look, and somehow the way I think. i was reviewing all the pictures I have and It is pretty noticeable the changes I’ve made and I’d like to share some of them with you guys.
Every pictures is in chronological order.
