New Books Rearranged

Hi guys,

I’ve recently managed to get my hands on a lot of medical books in electronic form. I’ve posted up some previously but I’ll post them up again, this time arranged in the order of the year you’ll be needing them.

1st year

2nd year

3rd year

4th & 5th year

Psychiatry Exam… Done!

Exam is at the main Psychiatry building in the Psychiatry Hospital (obviously). Once you’re there, here’s how the exam will be.

You will get your questions (the variants are not the same as the ones found online) and then you move into a small classroom  where 10 or more of you will be seated together to prepare your answers. They don’t really keep a close watch on you and we could sort of discuss and stuff.

The thing about Psychiatry is: there are English-speaking teachers. So it’s easier to answer to them instead. If you’re planning this route then you’ll have to prepare your answers in English. I suggest you do it this way because it’s waaaaay easier. All you need to do in order to prepare is just a quick read through some Pysch textbooks regarding the disorder, their classifications, clinical manifestations and treatment. Don’t forget the treatment.

I sat down with an English-speaking teacher, blurted out everything I knew about depressive syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. In about 5 minutes, I came out with a “5″. Those who answered to Russian-speaking teachers took slightly longer.

In essence, Psychiatry is a subject where you can study in English. Take advantage of that.

Happy studying!
