Hot-Topic Review

Select a Main Category followed by a Sub-Category to list Review Articles

This repository within MedCert.com includes a brief review of FREQUENTLY TESTED material. A thorough review for the exam must include a complete knowledge of all material listed. Remember all information about a topic will not be included on the slide, just the frequently tested material. The topic will be at the top of the page. The listed bullet points will follow in a standard format as shown below. 
 
Those points are THE ABSOLUTE LEAST that you should know about a topic. Please commit these points to memory.  Once memorized, your mind will group the information together, and when a question is presented the correct answer will seem more obvious based on the constellation of grouped symptoms. When taking an exam a lot of extra clinical information is given as a filler, or distractor. Once the basics of a diagnosis is known, you can look for verifying data before you choose an answer, and it makes “guessing” much more scientifically based.  Review and memorize all of the HOT Topics!!!

    Please refer to standard Medical texts for a complete review of any topic. This information is for exam purposes only and should not be used for actual patient care. Very few disorders lend themselves to such a brief synopsis, and actual patient care deserves a more intense and exhaustive survey of a disease.

    MedCert.com is for passing exams, not patient care.
