Not yet. Yeah, I think so. We are now. Nice. All right. So alive. So hopefully everyone can hear us. Um, all right. So I'm Margin and Sheila as well with the earlier coordinators for med for this year. So that means we're in charge of all the happenings in year one year to from my head. Um, this is our first lecture of the year director to phase one B. Um, and it's the first time we're using metal. So hopefully it works well, for for all of you. So I would really appreciate that. Like the feedback form to be filled out. Just it helps us for the future. Um, so, yeah, you've got a wonderful speaker here today. Also, one more thing in terms of questions, if you could just put your questions on the chat you see, on the right hand side, there's a chat function, me and she'll try and answer them through the lecture. But if we can't or you want to sit to answer your questions Sorry the speaker to answer your questions, then we'll just leave them for the because there'll be some Q and a time, um, towards the end. So Yeah. Um, lovely to meet you guys. Can we just check that everyone can hear us like, is there anyone able to like, um, you know, and just let us know. Sure. People can't when you're on stage, but yeah, we can see here. Okay. Perfect. Um, but yeah. So, like I said, this is the introduction to phase one B talk. And our speaker today is sedan, and he's kindly agree to talk to you guys. He has this year's prize winner, so I would listen up to everything he has to say because he's got some good advice coming up, but said, whenever you're ready to start, Hello, good people. My name is said Han. I usually go by said, if you're talking to me in conversation, but yeah, I'm here to give you this lecture. That's intro to one B. And the point is that second year is fairly similar to first year. You're not being thrown into the deep end quite yet, But some things are changing some things on you, and Medicaid doesn't want you going in blind. So this is just what's new. What's changing, what to expect. What's going to make you want to pull your hair out. Um, some sources of support to stop you pulling your hair out, that sort of stuff. So let's get on with it. This is what today's session is going to look like. Hopefully assuming nothing goes catastrophically wrong. Um, just a quick look at sort of the modules and how they'll be spread out over the year and across your timetable. Um, what exams you're gonna have and what you can sort of expect from them. What has changed from your one and your two. What is completely new and you've not seen before. Um, a little a couple of notes about what your placements will be like this year. Um, a few tips from me, some resources to help you study in specific subjects where resources can be helpful and just to slide, going over what support you have over the course of the yard if you ever need it. So this is the timetable per se. Apologies for the quality of the picture. It is literally just a screen chart from Med learn. And I cannot improve the quality of the slides. Imperial provides. Um, but yeah. So up there you have year one just for comparison and your two, which is what you're going into at the bottom. Um, what you'll notice is in phase one, you sort of have a transition in around term one. So towards the beginning of term one, you're doing purely principles of medicine. And then there's a switch over to be rs and a bit of a map as well. In your do. You don't really have that. You have the same modules throughout term. One in term to, um, the vertical purple bars here represent your hospital placements, the horizontal PCH bars or your GP placements, and you'll see that term three is, uh, exclusively resolved. Clinical research and innovation cry as the module is called, um, but yeah, you'll be doing most of your modules throughout the year in term, one in term to and all the modules all of the time, basically, and then third term is mostly devoted to cry, which is after your exams. So let's go over the modules you can expect to have this year. BRS gets its own slide because of how many exams fall under the general umbrella. BRS um, you'll be familiar with the written and the anatomy. I'm sure the written exam is three hours long. It's S p A R S v Shush US Anatomy is one hour long BS excuse. It's a spotter, so you'll be provided with pictures, the CPA or clinical practical assessment. It's going to be roughly 1.25 hours. That can be a little bit of variation there because obviously it's not a timed exam, not a timed written exam. So it depends on how things go on the day, practically speaking. But that will be that will consist of practical stations, so you will actually have to do patient examination in practice. Yeah, and these are the rest of your modules. You have lifestyle medicine, preventional map that's going to be a two hour written exam this year written. I mean, it's going to be online on. It's going to be on a digital platform, but written in the sense of it is going to be a proper exam and not like your assessment last year, which was a podcast, I believe, um, it's going to be two hours long. 100 questions. Both SPS and Bs accuse us a call us here. Um, you have CSI, which is going to be pretty much the same as what you remember. Eight cases assessed through in Iraq and Iran and the Tdap, um, clinical research and innovation will be a nine or 12 minute poster presentation, depending on how many people that actually are in your group. And PCH is placements. I'm sure you all know you have sign offs and you'll have a community collaboration project, which is similar to the project you will have done in GP and first year. But we'll get to that in a bit, and I'm sure you've already all picked your I explore models. But you also have I explored this year, which is fairly similar to horizons. If any of you have done horizons before and the specific assessment you'll have to do for, I explore will depend on what actual module you take, some modules will have an end of your essay. Some will have smaller quizzes throughout the year. Um, there's a lot of variation. It is very dependent on what module you picked, but from the medicine side of things as far as the people as far as F. E O is concerned as far as the people who are giving you your results are concerned. The actual marks you get and I explored don't matter. It's just a pass fail thing. As long as you pass, everything is fine. Uh huh. So what is changing now? In first year, you had both mom and B. R s as sort of the main big modules, as it were. And that meant that your workload was sort of split between those modules. Second year does not have bomb. So BRS gets a lot bigger, like the majority of your workload will be. Just be rs. You're gonna have more topics. Um, in addition to what you had in first year, some of those being things like pharmacology and therapeutics, where you will, to some extent have to just memorize a bunch of drugs and what they do, Um, and development and aging, which is just sort of the specific needs of patients at different stages in life at different ages. Each of the topics will have more lectures, and each of the lectures will have more content. The slides are going to be a lot more dense than first year. Um, a little bit of a few changes in CSI as well. So, um so CS I did change for my year between 1st and 2nd year. I'm not sure if it did for yours in the sense of I'm not sure what we if what we did in second year is also what they did for you in the first year. But just in case that isn't what happened, I'll tell you how it changed for us between 1st and 2nd year. So in the second year, we have multiple cases assessed together. So you have two cases assessed in each eye red and tear at, um, it's usually, if I remember correctly, it's usually 20 questions 10 from one case, 10 from the other. Your tdap will be separate to your Iraq, and tear at it will not be held in the same session, and the Tdap will actually assess four cases at once. But when you're filling out the answers for the Tdap, you won't actually have to fill out answers for all four cases. So out of the four cases, they will randomly choose two cases to assess you on in the Tdap and obviously because it's random because it can be any to You do have to sort of prepare all four, but they won't test you on all four. Um, thankfully, the TV apps are only like written answers this year. You do not have to make any more posters. And you just a note that you can be assessed on P V B and T A P as well. I'm sure you remember from last year that in your B R s exam you were assessed on TV be research skills, things like that that you that will very much also happen this year in your B R s exam, but also in C S I t apps. You can be assessed on P V B as well. There is a slight shift in waited this year in CSI. Not sure it's not very significant. I'm not sure how many of you care about it, but basically first year, the weight it was 60% Iraq, 20% tear. At 20% Tdap this year is going to be 50% Iraq, 25% the rat and 25% Yeah, right. So what's new now? I do know that you guys have already had a map in first year. But I have still put this under what's new just because l map is so drastically different from last year that you should not think of it as the same model. If you go about l map the way you did last year for this year, it will go badly. Do not do that. Um, but yeah, it is very different this year. It is actually a written exam in terms of you will be given VSA, qs and SBS, and you will have to fill them out. These are some of the topics you can expect to cover. There's epidemiology and statistics. There's health coaching and motivational interviewing. There's health across the life course, and there's global health. Out of these four, the biggest chunk of both lecture time and waited in the exam will be epidemiology and statistics and statistics being statistics that will be math involved. So please be warned. It won't be complicated math, but it will be math. Please be prepared for the math. Um, and, uh, just a word of warning that theoretically, l map can assess you on things that they have taught you last year as well. It won't be a lot of questions like that, but there can be a few. So it's important that you remember the combi model from last year. I hope you remember the combi model. And again, there won't be a lot of questions. Based on last year's content, vast majority will be from this year, but that can be a few that are sort of pull that weren't aren't taught in second year. We were taught in first year and our assessment first your exams. So the example that comes to mind for me from our exam last year was that there was a question to the effect of Is this is this scenario description of equality or equity? Now, hopefully you remember that they did teach you the difference between equality or equity. In first year, they did not go over it again in seconds. Opportunity. It's still turn up on the exam, so things like that can come. There won't be too many questions on it. Don't stress out too much about having to do the entire first year syllabus for a map again. But do keep it in mind. Okay, CPA Clinical Practical assessment. This falls under B. R s. Um all of your clinical anatomy skills. Sessions will be working towards this and it consists of eight practical stations seven being actual stations and one being arrest station where you literally just sit down and have a break. Have a glass of water if you want. Um, the history taking station is different to the other stations and that it's longer. The history taking station is about 15 minutes, where, as all the others are about seven minutes each and the history taking is literally just there will be a simulated patient in front of you. You have to take a history from them. It may not necessarily be a full history. They can ask you to focus on certain aspects of the history, such as asking you to focus on mainly the presenting complaint and just the social history, as opposed to everything else that makes up a history. So do bear that in mind. You may not have a time to take a full comprehensive history, so prioritize what they tell you to prioritize. They'll also be a news two slash s power station, which is they will give you a sheet of paper with the patient's obs and a little bit of history of presenting complaint, and you need to fill out a news to form for that. And then you need to base like you need to talk to the Examiner as if they're a member of a team that you're trying to get to. Come assess this patient and you need to give them handover essentially in an Asperger format. Um, important thing to remember when filling out the news to form is, do not just take the boxes for like what their vitals are. If it asked for patient name or patient details, time of admission, your initials, anything. Fill everything out. Anything there's a box for should be filled out. Um, there will be five examination stations. These will be things like abdominal exam, musculoskeletal exam, neurological exam, respiratory exam, cardiac exam, that sort of stuff. By the time you get the third year, you will be expected to just walk into a room. Be told you have to do a cardio exam and just from memory, do it from top to bottom. This will not be the case in second year, so in second year they will give you step by step instructions, they will say. Okay, now assess for pulse. Okay. Now listen from a murmur. Okay? Now, um, feel for tactile vocal parameters, things like that. You will get step by step instructions. You will be told exactly what they want you to do. So you don't need to do the full exam. Top to bottom. And you don't need to memorize all aspects of the exam. Top to bottom. Okay, cry and I explore. I need to give a bit of a disclaimer about cry. Mary Moral has explicitly told us that cry is changing for your year. That is not going to be identical to what it was for a year. She has not actually told us how it's changing. So I'm going to give you a description of what it was like for a year, because I assume it's not going to be a completely different module. But please bear in mind that your experience might not be identical. It might not. It might change. This is just to give you an idea what it was like for us. So for us, we had a three week attachment with the research team, and usually the team has their own research project that they're doing a larger, over arching project. But there'll be like a smaller sub project within that, or like a series of smaller experiments within that larger project that needs to be done. And usually they'll be someone to help you through doing basically playing a small part in a larger research project. And after you've done that, you're going to do a poster presentation on what research you did, what your experiments were, what your findings were, what conclusion you reach that sort of stuff. Um, they will expect this in a scientific poster format, so you may want to look up like in Scientific Conference is how do people present posters? And you want to brush up on your skills in terms of making nice designs and visually appealing slides on PowerPoint. Because there is a there is marking for how visually appealing it is. They do not want just a block of text. If you submit a block of text, it will not go well. Um, cry also again for a year at least, but hopefully for your year as well does have certain international research experience opportunities. So for us, it was. One was in Singapore, and that was sort of cutting edge translational research. And there were there was one in Nepal and one in Wales, and both Nepal and Wales were sort of community medicine with a GP, um in sort of more rural areas as it were. And there is a special application process for this. So towards the end of this year, they will. They'll probably release details on what the application processes, but you sort of have to submit something either written or video or both to the extent of why do you want to do this? Why should we let you go on this experience? Why should we pick you that sort of stuff? And then after that, in towards the first couple of months of next year? For the rest of the London research experience is they'll just be a ranked list of which modules you want to do, and they try to give you something within your rank list. Um, I explore it again. Like I said before, it's fairly similar to horizon. So if you have, if you've done horizons in the first year, you'll know what it's like. Um, the modules available for I explore are a bit different to what was available in horizons. So, um, yeah, it might not be identical, but roughly similar again and again, I explore what What your end of your assessment is will depend on your module. Quite a bit will depend on what general department your modules fall under. Like, Is it on the humanities and social sciences, or is it business module, or is it a language, all sorts of different things. But in general, as long as your attendance is okay, it's fairly difficult to fail. These are not meant to be. These are not meant to be something that is not meant to be an exam that catches you out for not knowing stuff. It's just meant to be. It's just meant to allow you to discover something new or pursue a passion or an interest or that sort of thing. If you do not have a tendency, it will be a problem. So again, this might be different. For each modules, requirements might be slightly different. I took a humanities and social sciences module, and they're the attendance requirement was 75%. If you do not meet the minimum and they do take attendance. If you do not meet the minimum attendance, it will be a problem. Please meet the minimum attendance. Okay, moving on placement. What for me at least, is the most exciting part of the year. Um so, gp, last year you will have had eight days in GP. This year is actually a bit shorter. You're only going to have five days and again depending on what the system is this year. In terms of rotation, you might not actually be at the GP practice for all five of those days, but in general GP is going to be fairly similar to what it was like last year. Sitting in with the GP. Sitting in on consultations may be calling up a few patients of your own. Um, the In terms of calling up patients, it will mostly be with the health coaching focus, so you'll get some amount of teaching on health coaching and like what you're supposed to be doing in health coaching. But basically, the GP will give you the details for a patient who wants to make some sort of change in their life. Um, be that quitting smoking or losing some weight or reducing the alcohol intake. Things like those lifestyle factors, and it's basically just talking to the patient, exploring their motivations, exploring the perspectives and trying to work together to find a way that works for them to make those changes in their life and the important part of health coaching should be that the patient is in control. Health coaching is not being a doctor. Health coaching is not telling the patient what to do and how to do it. It's about working with the patient to explore their motivations for doing something and what way works best to help them do that thing. Um, so it will take some time, and sometimes it can be difficult for the GP to find a good patient or a patient who's able to take calls when you make them. But it can be fairly fun, depending on what patient you get and how comfortable you are with health coaching. You also have a community collaboration project, which again is similar to the GP project you will have done in first year, but also a bit different. Um, here. So the GP project in first year was more based in theory, more based on conditions. If I remember correctly this year, it's more about um, interacting with the community and seeing what the problems are in the community and trying to identify them and trying to find solutions to them. Now each now your GP tutor could have different definitions of what they expect from a community collaboration project, so it's important to find that out from them. But some will expect maybe, like a video or a poster or something that can be given to patients, to increase their knowledge about a certain issue or to spread awareness, that sort of thing. Others can be a presentation about a particular issue that's impacting the community and sort of research into the root causes of that issue. Um, what can be done about it? Some can be like making an informational post of four actual GPS to help themselves, their patients better, that sort of thing moving onto hospital placements. Now you have to placements this year as opposed to the one you had last year. The duration is the same two weeks, but to placement of two weeks, so you're in for four weeks total, and you will have some new sign off this year. So in addition to the clears and, uh, history taking and yeah, clears history, taking any replacement forms and all that stuff, you will also be expected to do some clinical skills. So BMS, which is capillary blood glucose monitoring, um, taking any C g from a patient and doing venom puncture from a patient which is taking blood from one of the veins be MSNBC, GS. You can do directly on patients with supervision, then a puncture. Most sites will be organizing a clinical skills session so you can practice doing it on a dummy before you start stabbing actual patients. But, um, some might not again, things like clinical skills teaching vary from side to side, depending on how much they have their act together. But, yeah, if there is a clinical skills session available, and that's going to happen ideally, wait till after that to actually do it on patients. But regardless, always, always, always have direct supervision. When you're doing these things, at least, yeah, always have direct supervision. Okay, a couple of tips to get you through the year Active learning. You would have heard about active learning from everyone under the sun. I am sure you would have heard about it from your two toes. You would have heard about it from your lecturers. You would have heard about it from Mary Moral. You probably have heard about it from some of your peers. You will now hear about it from me. You will hear about it in your dreams. It will haunt your nightmares for as long as you are an imperial, you will be hearing about active learning, and I know it gets annoying, but we keep repeating it because it is very important. Active learning is the most important you can thing you can do to prepare for your exams. It really does help. It really does work. So please and tying that into the second point. You can find what works for you in terms of active learning, like your tutors. And maybe your peers will give you recommendations and they might be very helpful. But they are recommendations. If that doesn't work for you, find a form of active learning that does work for you and use it because if you can find something that works for you and is active, it will serve you very, very well. That being said, it also goes the other way around. The point of find what works for you should not be an excuse to just say, Well, this is how I've always studied. This is how I've always done things. I just don't want to change that. You need to make sure there is some aspect of active learning in there because otherwise it's going to be inefficient. It's not going to be working as well as it could be. Fuse those two points. Learn actively, but do it in a way that works for you if you want an example. Everyone at Imperial loves flash cards. I have never actually made and or used a flash card in my life. I am sorry to say, um, my my brain just doesn't work that way. I don't learn well with flash cards, but I find other ways to learn actively. There is no one prescribed way to learn actively, but whatever you do, it should involve active learning device through the year is an important point. It don't leave everything for Easter break. There is a lot of content. BRS is massive. Do not leave it all for Easter break. You can do it on weekends. You can do it in Christmas break. You can spread it out over the years, so it's not much. It can be like one or two lectures every once in a while, but do keep revising through the earth, so that by what I tried to do, at least, was by the time we reach to start of Easter break. Before we went on Easter break, I had done one top to bottom revision of the full course Over the course of the year, every everything talked about them before we started Easter break. Turn up to lectures can be controversial, and it should be read with find what works for you. If turning up the lectures really does not help you at all, then it just doesn't help you. I can't do anything about that, but in general, if you turn up the lectures, all that information is going to be in your brain somewhere. It may not be immediately available to recall, but it's rattling around in there somewhere. So when you sit down to do your first revision, you already started reinforcing content. That's already there. You're not learning new information for the first time, and that will save you a lot of time and effort in terms of revision. Work with others again should be read with Find what works for you. I personally find that it's a lot easier to study on my own in silence in the library, that sort of thing. But despite that, I would still meet up with my friends once a week for at least like half a day in, like Easter. Break in like big study time. And we still study together because even though it wasn't maybe the most efficient way to get information directly from the slides to my head, it does still help in a lot of different ways. It helps you figure out it. It helps you figure out What have they been focusing on, that maybe you haven't been focusing on as much. Or maybe some small bit of information that you neglected or skipped over or didn't even realize I was there, that they start talking about and, you know, and you know, to revise that or even just getting other people's perspectives on the content, their study strategies, their tips and tricks for remembering small things that are hard to remember and also the best part about setting aside any sort of time for studying with friends. Is there a lot of the time your brain will process it as having fun and stress busting and reducing anxiety, But you're still getting work done, so you're you're simultaneously getting the benefits of taking a break while also having the efficiency of doing work. Spend some time studying with friends, even if it's not your entire revision strategy, as it was, Make time for fun is important. Even at sort of the height of exam season. It's important that you don't completely stress yourself out. If you stress yourself out totally and completely, you are not studying efficiently. At that point, you need to make time for fun. It may be less time than you spend on fun throughout the rest of the year, where it should still exist. So, like even at the height of exams revision at the height of panic, I was still going to like tabletop societies Weekly board games night. Um, I was still attending sci fi societies events as and when they were happening that sort that sort of stuff I was I was still doing. I was still meeting my friends. As I mentioned before, I was still doing a few things. I was being much less social than the rest of the year, obviously, but it's important to have those checks and that time for fun just to stop you going insane basically, and just a reminder that breaks are important. Breaks are helpful. If you do not take a break, you will end up putting yourself out of commission for a lot longer than the break would have taken if take your brakes so that you do not lose up. Taking a break is not losing out on study time. If you don't take your breaks, that will actually make you lose out on much more study time than if you just take a break and also an important point. Don't always be an exam. More through the year, there is a time for exam mode that time is usually called Easter Break and our last minute panic. But if you are in exam more throughout the year from start to finish, it will not be good for you again. There is a time. For example, there is a time when you need to study like all hell. There is a time when a little bit of anxiety and stress can be good can motivate you to study. But through the year, I try not to study purely with the threat of exams hanging over your head like a sword. Try and find different ways to motivate you to study, try and study as I mean there. There are lots of different ways you can go about that. You can try and study in by thinking about like I'm sure you all like medicine. That's why you're doing medicine. Try and think about why you're interested in the content of the slides and why you want to learn more than what cool new things are being taught in second year. Or just try and think of it as a chore you do. It might not necessarily be fun, but you don't take you don't stress out for chores like you would for exams. Don't get starting done throughout the year, but that does not necessarily mean be an exam more throughout the year. Also, just a quick, additional tip if you are the kind of person who, during exam periods, tends to study for multiple consecutive days in a row and like study a lot in each of those days. One tip I got from like a study skills tutor was divide your day in two thirds morning, afternoon, evening, and make sure that you are not studying for more than two out of those three maximum. Obviously, this does not apply for people who are not studying multiple days consecutively. But if you are doing that, you should not be studying morning to evening. It will not work out well, okay, moving on. So these are some module specific tips? Um, in terms of BRS, the slides are going to be a lot more dense and a lot more information packed than what you had in first year. Not like a massive jump, but it is a jump rope trying to wrote. Learn them will not work. My go to recommendation is always try and understand what's on the slide. Try and understand the underlying principles. Try and understand why what's happening is happening and try and relate it back to anatomy and physiology or some underlying science principal or some underlying chain of logic. It is much, much, much easier to remember one fact and know the logic that will allow you to derive and other facts from that one fact than it is to just remember 11 facts in terms of CP A. It is theoretically possible to pass CPA, having just done the clinical anatomy skills sessions and the and reading the theory on incentive, it is theoretically possible. But that is just making life harder for yourself. Find people to practice with and get some actual hands on practical experience of doing and redoing and redoing the examinations. And a lot of societies, including Med, will be doing Mark CPS. You should definitely take them up on that because it's not a good idea to go into CPS with no idea what it's going to be like to do it on an actual patient and society. Marks are the best way to get an idea of what it's going to be like. Imperial does also do their own mark, but it will be just one station, and in all likelihood it will be resuscitation dummy, which, I mean, maybe it works for some people. It was not honestly all that helpful for me to try and do light and deep palpation on air because the resuscitation dummy did not have an abdomen. But yeah, moxie pas by societies will usually have actual people and multiple stations, and it's a great way to practice for CPA. And it's a very it's a fairly accurate representation of what the CPA will actually be like el map. This is very important. Please do not think of it like a map from last year. Revise for L map the same way you will revise for bomb or B. R s. Treat it like a proper subject because a proper module like Palmer BRS, because it is a proper module this year you need to do it. You need to study it and memorize it and prepare for it in, however, you work again in whatever way that works for you. But however, would work for Palmer BRS because it is going to be a similar kind of exam to Palmer BRS this year and again, I mentioned this a bit before, but I'll map will have statistics. It will have maths. It will have things like prevalence and incidents and odd ratios and risk ratios. You will need to know the formulas for that. You will need to memorize the formulas for that bill that in mind, and don't just skip over them because they're maths, Anatomy and CSI. The best bit of advice I can give you is do the pre and post reading. I know not a lot of a few people who for first year at least just turned up to the CS. I live on lines or just turned up to the dissecting room and called it a day and tried to do the exams based on just that alone, without actually doing any pre and post reading. I think it's somewhat worked in first year, both because of first year content and because we had open book exams in first year. But in the second year, that will definitely not work in Sandy. Pre and post reading is there is so much information that will not be covered in the live sessions of the in person sessions, and you need to do that and it will help you get past the exam PCH. My best bit of advice is get signed off early, and that's for two reasons. One is that if you leave everything to the last minute, it is entirely possible that you might not get some of your sign off. Maybe someone's not available. Maybe that just isn't a patient that needs an EKG. At that point. Maybe there are 100 different things that could go wrong. If you leave it to the last minute, and that will create problems, it could mean it means it might mean that you have to get the sign off on the next placement. It might mean you need a remedial placement. It might mean that the those are additional sign off that end up getting added to your authority replacement. It's just a pain get signed off early For that reason, another reason I'd say to get signed off early is that once you're signed off, you can really make the most of your placement you can like. Once you're signed off and you don't have that hanging over your head, you can be much more relaxed. You can talk to more patients. You can talk to more of the stuff you can follow more people around. You can learn more. You can just sit with the F two and have them explain things to you. You again. You can learn a lot more if sign off aren't hanging over your head the whole time. And also, I understand this might be a priority for a lot of people. You can leave earlier on a lot of the days. If you get your sign off early, do turn up. Turning up is important. Your consultant will not sign off your end of placement form if you do not turn up, but again, if you finish your sign off early, you don't have to stay till four or five PM every day waiting for a patient to turn up who needs an EKG or who needs blood drawn or things like that I explored Turn up again. Assessment will be different. I can't comment on what specific module assessments your model will have, but turning up is the most important part again. If your attendance is a problem, then you're going to be in a bit of trouble moving on to a couple of resources. None of these are very none of these are secrets, as it were. All of these will be on incendiary on slides that will be given to you. But I just put them here. If you want a bit of a head start, if you want to know what you should be checking out for the rest of the, uh this is the stuff that will help In General, library services is really useful in a lot of different ways, especially things like library search. Um, they will get you the books you need. They will get you the access to the online journal articles you need. Almost anything you need will be available through the library. Anky. Like I mentioned, I never actually use flash cards, so I never actually used Yankee. But I hear very good things. If flash cards work for you and we will probably be your best part um cp A. The incentive slides. We'll have links to these exact websites, and videos of these exact websites will be shown these in some of your clinical anatomy skills sessions. But geeky medics and Bates's Visual guide will cover pretty much everything you'll be expected to do in C p. A. In anatomy ruins, anatomy, complete anatomy. You'll be familiar with baits. Visual guide will also help you again. A lot of anatomy is just being familiar with the body and the organs to the extent of being able to recognize them in the picture. There is also theory involved. There is there is a part of it is knowing what innovates a structure, what blood supply is the structure have what is the importance of a specific structure in terms of movement? But again, all of that is pointless if you can't actually recognize what the picture is showing you. So all of these will explain a lot of theory to you will have a lot of images and a lot of visual prompts that will help you quite a lot and anatomy in terms of cry. And I explore, um I can't really think of any resource is related to the actual content, but both cry and I explore will probably require you to have a lot of references and a lot of bibliography. Imperial is paying a company quite a lot of money. I'm sure I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure they are so that you don't have to bother with the biographies. Use ref works. It will make your life so much easier if you just put a link in it. Fill in a couple of details. If it can't pull in automatically and it will just give you reference is it will make your life easier. Use it. Um, again, these aren't all your modules, because I can't really think of resources for all your modules. But in general, in addition to this, the advice across all modules is used in Sandy in Sandy is your Bible. Every thing you need is on in Sandy. Everything that will be assessed is on in sandy use in sending as much as you can learn from insanity as much as you can. Um, right. I think we're approaching the end. Yes, this is the last slide I believe now, in terms of support, there's a lot of different levels of support, depending on what your needs are and what exactly you're struggling with. If you're just having trouble understanding some of the lecture content or things like that, there are a lot of societies that will be there to help you, and a lot of senior years will be willing and excited to help you. So please ask them for help. If you want something, explain or if you just want some tutoring or anything like that, that's always available for slightly bigger problems, especially if it's like personal circumstances or something you're struggling with in terms of mental health, things like that. But your personal and senior tutors will be very helpful. Please talk to them. You're personal. Tutor should have a 1 to 1 session with you every time, so that's a great time to talk to them. Alternatively, just drop them an email. Um, if you need help, if you need mitigating circumstances. If you need anything like that, your tutors are a great place to call and for the sort of highest levels. If you really need a lot more help than either society, senior years or tutors are able to provide. There are a lot of support systems at the college level, so there's a few welfare. There's college level counseling. There's the disability advisory service again, or depending on what your specific needs are, what you're struggling with, there are different departments and to help you and again, the reason I put this in, I'm sure you've heard about this a lot from faculty and Mary moral and God knows who else. I am not sure how much you believed them like this. All of this stuff is not just on paper. All of this stuff is not theoretical. If you do seek support, you will get high quality support. Imperial legitimately does do support very, very well. If you need support and you ask for it, you will get support and it will help you a lot. And it will help you do better both in terms of your exams and in terms of just making it through the year with your sanity intact. And yeah, that is the end of my presentation. I think we've finished a bit early, but best of luck for second year, you're all going to do great. Do not stress too much about it. Um, yeah, I think that's it for me. Does anyone have any questions? And the feedback forms just been put on the chat. So if you don't have any questions, we've got a question, though. There's no question it's just thanks for the talk. Is J pass fail? Yes. The CPS pass fail, you will get you will get percentages like you will get you got 83% in the cardiovascular examination or whatnot, but overall it is pass fail. The percentages don't actually show up anywhere. That's just for your own information. Um, the criteria for the past fail is you need to pass. I think the majority of this you need to pass the majority of stations and you need to pass. And you need to achieve an overall pass mark as well. Uh huh. I got a question again. Do do do they get if you turn up to lectures? If you watch the recordings later that again, this might change for your, you know, because I, you know, was still technically considered a co video in our your as long as you could miss the lectures in terms of you could miss the things which were one person standing in front of half the You're yelling at you from the front of a lecture hall. You couldn't miss things like tutorials or small group teaching or like consolidation or things like that. But from what I'm hearing, given that we are now leaving the coated phase according to Imperial, at least they may start cracking down on people not turning up the lectures. So again see what's going on for your year. But you may be expected to turn up to pretty much everything. Um, no. To the best of my knowledge. First, the anatomy content will not turn up for the spotter. How do you? Okay, Um I will answer this question, but I will. I will pre face it by saying that as I mentioned before you need in terms of revising, you need to find what works for you. I will tell you how I revised. But I will say that works for me because that is how my brain works. I am fairly sure this would be catastrophic advice for almost anyone else. Please do not take this to be studied. Advice? How I revised for the year was I turned up for lectures. And then over the course of the year, I really watched the lectures on in Opto to the point that I had done everything before the start of Easter break and then Easter break. I really watched the lectures. And then I really watched the lectures again. And then I gave the exams. Do not try this. It will not end well any more questions, guys, give it, like, a few more minutes. Just give it a couple of minutes. And please, please for them back in the feedback form as it will not only be helpful for us, but also for Sudan if he ever wants to do another lecture. Well, first, do clinical skills content turn up hum? Um, I don't think so. I don't think so. No, in generally. So for all the modules, they say that being able to understand and being able to complete an assessment on second year content will build upon the content you're taught in first year. So you may require knowledge from first year to understand second year content and be able to answer questions on second year content. But apart from El map, they don't actually ever explicitly assess foster content that was not taught in second year across modules except for a map. Should we, uh, we call it any final questions before we call it? When is the cpk um so again, it I can tell you what it was like for a year, so I can't guarantee it will be the same for your area. But we had our B. R S L map and anatomy in roughly the 1st and 2nd week of May. And then we had CPA in the last week of May, roughly when we did ours. Ours is about the same time as well. I've still got quite a few people here. Maybe more questions. Yeah, I think what has said about not leaving it all towards the end, It's really easy to crown is good too. And I've got another question. Where can we access the recording? So that is a question. So the recording you should have access to from the medal account that you've made. So after this, we will upload it on the event page that we've got here. Um, so you should automatically from what we've understood, get access from it, like as soon as it's done. Um, and as soon as you fill in all the feedback forms that we got at some point later on in the year, they will also will be published on the med website, but that will be probably like, I don't know when because we haven't fixed the website yet, but it will be a lot later, but you should have access to the recording after this. Yeah. Yeah. The slides of the slides have already been uploaded. So after the lectures finished, you will be able to see the slides. Well, they'll be on the same page as where the recording will be. And it will be on something that will say, like phase one B introduction phase will be. I think I think there's no more questions. Well, I think guys, we might call it a day here. You should any like questions that you think of afterwards. You can always email the med email address, which is just posted on the BP med that I see you got the UK hard to remember. Um, but thank you very, very much for your talk. Big. Thank you. To sit for giving the first lecture of our of this of this med idea for phase 11 B. And we shall be organizing a lot more events for you guys this year. So hopefully we will see you guys soon. Mhm. But she stopped broadcasting. Thank you, everyone. 21
