While preparing for my Oral Examination earlier this year I found a way to prepare that was so useful that it may have made the difference for me. I waited longer than I should have to prepare, and suddenly found myself with less time than I had planned for.
These recordings saved time, using time that was otherwise wasted: my morning and evening commute!
Despite completing a good residency I worried that in the heat of the moment I would forget the specific criteria– the criteria I needed to defend the diagnosis I gave to my Boards patient.
I realized that I needed to focus on the FUNDAMENTALS– the criteria themselves! If the criteria popped into my head during the exam, everything else would be gravy!
I realized that the way to accomplish what I needed was to engrain the material into my memory so completely that I could recall it automatically–
That is what these recordings did for me– and what they will do for you!
Click the purchase links at the right for the 3-CD set of recordings, or choose the instant download option. The instant download option is less expensive, as it does not require me to burn the CDs and run to the Post Office– You can simply burn the CDs yourself, or even easier place the MP3 files on your I-Pod or other MP3 player! If you prefer the CDs I will have them to you within two weeks.
The recordings are efficient– I don’t drone on and on about things you won’t need to know. I recite the criteria– listen to them, then listen again, and again– after two weeks if someone says ‘major depressive disorder’ the criteria and qualifiers will roll off your tongue with ease. In my case that made my confidence take off like a rocket! I walked to my exam room feeling as if I had a ‘secret weapon’ to success!
Try Them– They Work!
After your purchase, come back in January of 2009 for additional recordings. Purchasers of the current recordings will have the opportunity to receive subsequent recordings at a discount.
