I can hear you typing and lo hi, everyone. We're just gonna wait a few more minutes for more people to join and then we'll start. Uh We will start soon. We haven't started. So that's why you can't hear us. Uh We, we were just waiting so more people to join. So just a few minutes. All right, I think we can start now. So, hi, everyone. Welcome to Med International. My name is Ty and um thank you for joining us today for our Code Blue series. This is a six part series with workshops including suturing venipuncture, stop the bleed and many and much more to come. Um So today, our first talk is mainly targeted for first year students especially is specifically at Medical University, Sophia. Um Without further ado, I want to introduce our speaker for today. Some of you may know her already. She is 1/6 year intern at Medical University, Sophia and the educational director at Med International. Please welcome Roman Corp. Hello guys. Thank you sir for introducing and welcome everyone to our first event. Uh And first of all, huge congratulations for starting medical school and welcome to the medical University of Sofia. So my name is Raman Preet. You can call me Preet and I'm six year medical intern. And as she said, I'm also part of med pa International. We are nonprofit medical uh uh organization. We provide workshop lectures and symposiums. And today, the purpose of this lecture is to introduce you to the syllabus exam structure and which resources to use for the first year uh of the medical uh school in the medical at the Medical University of Sofia. So uh before I start, I will request you if you have any trouble, like if you can't hear me or if you uh have any questions, just ask and I have my um chart open here, I can see it. So or you can at the end also ask questions. So no problem. I'm gonna just try to give you all the essential information um what a first year student needs to know uh when they're starting at Medical University of Sofia. So um I have like created a powerpoint. Uh So let's start with the overview of the uh campus. So basically, I'm not just only gonna focus on the exams and the resources. I'm also gonna give you some administrative as advice like uh important documents, important buildings you should know and who to contact if you need certain documents, right? OK. So when you, you have already started this week uh on Monday, I think, yeah, yesterday you started it and you have been familiar now with the first one. first building which I've written down is Preclinical building. It's, it's also known as Medical Biological Complex. In that building, you have visited for lectures and seminars. Lectures are in the auditorium, one or two auditorium fi four, they are like on the 2nd and 4th floor uh and seminars depending on the departments, you have different rooms, right. So then next to the preclinical building at the same street, if you go further, like towards the uh main street, you will find anatomy building. And in the anatomy building, you will have you have, you have anatomy lecture hall where you think, I, I think you have biology lectures if I'm not mistaken. And also anatomy dissection hole dissection hall is on the um third floor, top floor and where you also have your seminar and you will be uh learning practical skills which you need for anatomy uh uh subject. Then we have administrative building um which is Mai Ch do, which you see here on the picture as well. The picture is showing Mai do. It's uh what uh the, the Mai dome is in Bulgarian and it means maternity hospital actually. And in this hospital, you will find the dean's office. More specifically, you will not go directly to the dean's office. If you need any documents, you will go to your assigned secretary and I will uh give you later information about which secretary is for you and what is a, what, what are her contacts? Right. So then we have Rector's office, director's office is in the National Center for Health Information Building. I will give you more information in the upcoming slides. So now, you know, so why you should know this campus uh overview? Because, you know, um you are mostly at that uh at that place. It's not, it's a little bit scattered as well. And Sophia, that's why it's important to know like where you need to go for which uh document or who you need to contact. So before we, before I continue with the buildings, again, I need to tell you, you need uh to have a knowledge about important documents which you, you need maybe through a your studies or maybe you need to apply for some and you have to find a proof, your medical student and where to get these documents. So first one is the main, main, one is the student certificate. So what is student certificate? Um You can get it from your secretary uh at the dean's office at the my Choong building. I will tell you again the room in shortly. Uh So student certificate will state actually that you are medical student at Medical University of Sofia and it will be, it can be, it has to be updated every seme semester if you're submitting. Like if you're in first semester, it will tell uh it will show that you are in the 1st 1st semester. And um when did you start the Medical University and when it you will be potentially ending the Medical University of Sofia? So why do you need this student certificate? First of all, if you are like applying for like some student insurance in certain countries in Europe or I think also in the UK, they want a proof of um like in, in Germany, I know that they need a proof of your student like you are, you are a student. So you can show that proof by giving them, submitting them student certificate. Or if you need a financial support, some of the European countries do that and they want this, this, this document, it's just called student certificate. You go to the secretary and you ask for student certificate. Other thing is um if you have some documents like from your home country, which you need to fill uh which which, which is needed to be filled by our Medical University of Sofia, what you have to do is then you have to go to director's office in order to fill the documents which are not for medical Sophia, which is from your home country or somewhere else. They, these are filled only by the director's office. I will give you the context for doctor's office as well soon. So for, but in go in order to go to doctor's office, you need student certificate, you can't go to the director's office because uh without the student certificate. Yeah. So if I'm too fast or if you have question after any slide, just ask me so I can clarify the at, at, at the spot. Yeah. OK. This is, this is a student certificate then OK. By the way, the student certificate is going to be in Bulgarian language. Most of the authorities they accept in Bulgarian language, but some of them, it is possible that they are not um accepting it like um uh then you have to translate it. Yeah. All right. Then um next is transcript. So a transcript is basically another document which we might, which you might need throughout your studies. Of course, you will be provided it with when you are done. When you're graduating, you have, you will get a transcript but some authorities, some countries, they won't like to know how many um subjects you have cleared. So, and with which marks. So this transcript will have an overview of your academic grades. Um This will be also this uh the transcript. You can also get it from the secretary uh in the dean's office. Then we have, I just put here university website. Uh I just want to tell you that the university website also gives you updates. Uh and they have something called E student section. I unfortunately can't show here. But if you go to uh we, when we send you the link, when you click on it, you will find at the the uh Medical University of Sofia Medical Faculty website, you will find student and when you click on eu you will go further in integrated information system in the integrated information system. Basically, you will find all the all your information, you will find the transcript, you will also find your details and also on the transcript, which is online. One, then you will see how many exam did you clear and with which marks and what is your average grade, average grade as well. So everything is written on that system as well. Unfortunately, most of the most of the authorities need it like printed and stamped and signed by the dean's office. So that's why you have to maybe request it from the dean's office. Uh instead of just downloading the transcript from the integrated information system. And for this system, you need login details. I am not sure if you got it, but you will may be receiving the university email soon and also uh the like password as well. Ok. So for the important documents, now I'm going to tell you. Ok, so the documents you I told you, you have to go to Dean's office for the student certificate and transcript. This is the dean's office is located in my QOM as I said at the ground floor and uh up uh up to now up to this day uh on their website, the secretary who is responsible for the first years is called Evelina Bava Neva. So this is your uh this is the secretary who's responsible for the first years. You will find her in room number 155 D. It's on the ground floor in my om, this is her email. If you need to request some documents, you can email her. I also provided a telephone number. But my uh advice to you is it's better to write an email because on the phone, it's maybe not in not convenient for them to pick it up or they don't, they don't know what you want. So it is better to have everything written. You can email them and maybe in one or two, they, they will reply to you. And if you need to uh pick up some documents, maybe you already ordered via the email uh transcript or you order the student certificate, then you have to go to this room 1 55 D to Miss Nava. And then you can pick your documents up at the dean's office. Um All right. So this is next to the preclinical building, this hospital on the right side, then moving on to the uh foreign documents which you may be needed to be uh filled by the um medical University of Sofia. For that one, you can go to the directors office, you have to go to the rector's office. This picture is showing that building I also included the address. So why directors office, director's office is like for, or like I already said, uh, now, like you need it for the, uh, to fill out the foreign documents again. Uh I've also uh uh written down here, you will find the office at the 12th floor all the way up to the left side. Yeah, left side. So, uh, and the timing is between 9 to 12 and 123 30. When you go there with your documents, please go with the student certificate. Otherwise they're going to send you back and then you have to go to Dean's office first and then again to director's office. So before you planning to go and uh submit your documents to um get stamped or anything, go to Dean's office first, get your student certificate and then go to the director's office. OK. So you can request a student certificate every semester. So that's free of cost, then um they will print it to you and if you needed it, like translated for some authorities, first of all, if the authorities is asking you to translate it, uh it's uh no, first of all, you should ask the authority if it is OK for you to send it uh in Bulgarian language because you're not getting any English or anything because you're studying here, right? Um Yes, I will specify in uh so basically student certificate is a document. It's just a paper which has your faculty number which you have received when you have registered your group number, your year of starting uh Medical University of Sofia and which semester you are? So it just says so for example, your name is Thas, right? So Toi Shan Moon Tan is the medical uh student of Medical University of Sofia. So you need it, for example, you wanna start work here, part time job. So maybe you need to show it, show us a proof like, oh you're medical un uh you're a student of Medical University of Sofia. So you can go there and you can get the certificate and then submit it. You can even copy it and give it to different authorities, you know. So it makes sense. I hope it makes sense. Ok? Then you need the certificate and also the student certificate is needed to get any contact with the doctor's office. Ok. All right. Um If any questions, OK, perfect. Um then moving on. So one second, I'm just gonna say one more thing, you know, here I mentioned you can use it for the financial support. Like um if you are German citizen or Swedish citizen citizen, your government will give you like our like they give some kind of financial support when you are studying abroad. Um If you can't uh if you don't have any job or it's not like you need help. So then you have to fill, fill documents which you have to send it to director's office. I'm just saying if someone is German here. If they want to apply for the bar again, I'm just giving you the information. You have to get the Barfi documents, you have to print them out. You have to take them to the director's office, uh with the student certificate from the dean's office and then they will fill it in and then they will tell you to come back in 23 days and to collect it. So I'm just giving you all the international uh information, maybe it's not valid for your country. But if you need any specific question for your country, you can ask as well. And if I have the information, I will let you know, OK, then um now this was the building documents and uh address as well. Now let's move on to the structure of education at Medical University of Sofia. So uh if we're talking about the structure of medical education here in Sophia, um after you have been registered, you are um you got your faculty number, right? And you got your group number and this group is like consisting of 10 to 12 people. Uh If I'm not mistaken, this group, you stay together for whole six years, right? So when you stay together with these um uh students for six years, um then you will attending the seminars with them, like all the classes um are being like um you go with them, you attend the seminars with them doesn't matter which seminar uh So it's important to know your group number. OK. Uh Then the f if you come back to the structure, we have lectures and seminars, lectures are not mandatory. Uh But I uh will definitely suggest you to go for the 1st and 2nd lecture and then check out for yourself if you really like, if it's helpful for you. Uh And then you can just um if it is helpful for you, you can keep going or if it's not, but do check for yourself out. And uh even if sometime you can just go to the lecture and make your notes uh using the Power Point Power Point uh slides if you're thinking it's not that useful for you. But the recommendation is you should 10 lectures, then the seminars, they are mandatory, you can't miss them. Even though most of the professors say you have like um uh up to two abscess, a absences are acceptable, but some of them still make some problems that they can do. Like they can um like, like it could be tougher for you at the end to get signatures if you have more than two absences. But make sure you don't have any absence. How can you avoid that? Because it is possible you get sick or you have to go back home for some reason. So what you can do is you can ask the professor, can I maybe join another group who is um doing the same content? Content who, who's covering the same syllabus points. So if and mostly the professors actually allow you, there's no problem. They tell you, OK, you can join like um this group there and then you have to go to this professor and then you have to uh write like I attended this group on this date with this teacher and that teacher need to uh sign this for you. You get me. So uh this is just basically compensating your missing class. So that's why you will not have any absence in your uh record. Then for the education part, you have like these are the how we, how your classes are. You have lectures with the big uh like in the lecture halls with all the whole stream of yours and seminars with your small group. And then you have colloquiums, what are colloquiums? Colloquium are basically small test throughout the years, which will be um uh done in your seminars. So your seminar teacher will be teaching you seminar syllabus throughout the semester and they will be uh depending on the department. There are only 1 to 2 uh colloquium like class test. Um If you and then you have final exams, final exam is your actual exam, the big exam which the whole syllabus will be covered. The colloquium is just small test where you will be uh being tested, your knowledge uh or that at that for that certain topic, you know, you get me. So colloquium, small test, final exam is the big exam, uh, which is more important. I'm not saying colloquiums are not important but they are, they have no, like, um, these grades from the colo colloquiums which are throughout the semester, um, through, uh, they are, the grades are not like, are going to be into final exams grade, uh, but they can influence the final exam, uh, grades in, um, in certain circumstances. For example, if you're between two grades, like one high, one low and it will help to see your examiner because he will have your record and he will see if you did good in the class, like if you are in a good part or not so good part. So depending on that, sometimes they can take the decision and say, ok, um I'm not sure if I should rank you high or low, but if your whole like year like your semester uh performance was great, then it is possible they will give you higher grade. So it's just an experience and um not effect but still um ok, then we have colloquiums final exams. I am going to focus on like I will explain it to you again what the structure of final exam is. Um, now I hope you understood the small class test. They are just preparing you for the small small points and you can gather your knowledge, it like just preparing you for the class test but not for the big exam also for the big exam. Sorry. Um Then for the first year subjects which are the, these are the more these are the main first year subjects we have here. Cytology, medical ethics, biology, chemistry, physics, Latin Bulgarian and anatomy. I have ordered this like that because uh depending uh according to your exam date, first exams you're going to have in this first semester is cytology and medical ethics. This is going to be at the end of the first semester. Um, lots of time. It's varies between January and February most of the time. It's in the, in February time. But it can also be possible you have in January time. The timetable, exact timetable hopefully will be out at the Medical University website, uh by end of November, beginning of December or latest, mid December. So it's always a little bit, you have to wait here. You don't, you get, don't get all the exam dates, uh, very early. It's like near to the exams, but be prepare yourself. Your exam is going to be in January or February. Ok. So the first exam is going to be cytology, medical ethics. I'm going to go in very detail how cytology subject looks like how the syllabus looks like and how the, um, uh, uh, how you should divide it, like, how to study it about it as well, uh, for that subject subject as well. Ok. Then the next, at the end of the second semester. So the first year when the first year is ending for you, which is going to be end June, July, end of July. Uh you will have all the other exams of first year medic uh first year subjects, for example, biology, chemistry, physics, Latin and Bulgarian. Um we will talk about the biology as well in details. And then you have anatomy as a subject in first year. But the final exam is in uh end of fourth semester, like in the second year, end of the second year. So that's why uh but you will have still small colloquiums for all of these subjects. So anatomy will, you will lots of small colloquium practical test. So which will help you prepare for your final exam, which will be in um like from like in end of the second year, like in the after end of this uh uh in the ending of the fourth semester like in June, July. So not this year next year for you, but you will be studying anatomy two or two years now. Uh And it's uh it is good because you have a, if I'm gonna show you later, it is needed. These two years are needed to prepare you for this, this exam now. Um As I said, so first, the most important to uh subject you should focus right now from get go is cytology and of course biology as well. But cytology is your first exam. So let me show you the syllabus. Oh, no, sorry. Before we go there, let me tell you one thing more. Uh, the grading system. I don't know if everyone is familiar with the grading system of the Medical University of Sofia. Uh, the grading system is here from 1 to 66 being excellent and one being like, uh, two actually being poor because one is not used anymore here previously, it was, uh, uh, designed to uh for people who may be caught up quote for helping each other cheating during the exam. Then there was, they wrote one. But now it's mostly 22 is poop 22 is actually fail to in order to get uh a pass in the final exams or any uh your class test as well, even though, oh, by the way, if you feel colloquium as well, the class test, you have to repeat the colloquium. So um they will make you keep repeating and some people, some professors don't give you signatures if you haven't passed your colloquium. So make sure you, I'm not saying the colloquium are the biggest thing, but they are some of the, depending on the professor, you need to pass the colloquium in order to get the signature that you have said this um semester, this subject in this semester, in, with certain um classes, you know what I mean? So, ok, so here uh two is poor. So you have, you have failed and six is the excellent one. So make sure you get at least three in your exam in order to pass, uh, of course, if you can't uh sit in exam, is there a specific entry? Yes, they are mostly um at the end to towards the, as middle of the semester and towards the end of the semester. So every professor, uh and in the, at every department, when you get the seminar syllabus, it's written there, The date is written, exact date is written there when you go to, to the uh Medical University of Sofia. Each department have a, like white board or like a board uh where they're hanging on the wall, they're hanging their syllabus, like seminar syllabus up to date now for, for first years. Uh they, it's written on the seminar curriculum. When is your exam? And mostly it is in the mid, uh mid, like middle of the semester and, or end of the semester. Ok. All right, then, uh of course, it is possible you maybe uh missed the date or you can't go to the exam because you're sick or you failed an final exam. Uh What, what you can do it now, you can re reset it. And these reset dates are also provided by the dean's office on the Medical University of Sofia. And the retakes for that are also announced every year, how many time or how many exams you can take from the first year to the uh the second year or from the second year to the third year. So it depends on every year. Um That's why make sure you check your uh website for regular updates. Uh Sometimes they are very late with the updates, but they do update the website with the most recent uh information. And if your secretary has made a Google classroom because that was our case in uh 4th, 5th and 6th year, our secretary, she did make a Google classroom and she was updating us regularly with all the exam dates, all the paper we require to submit. Or uh if someone needed to research, she was sending the people like she was, she was actually the one of the greatest like uh secretary of this Medical University of Sophia. And um I am not sure if all the secretaries do create Google classroom. So if she does, she will be posting there as well. So, but it to be on the safer side, do check the Medical University of Sofia's website with the latest um exam dates. OK. Uh Then let's move. Oh yeah. Uh This is a timetable. I think you guys are already already familiar with this because you had already lesson yesterday and today. Uh So if you are between group 33 and 53 this will be your syllabus. I'm just going to say a quick few words if someone is not familiar about it, uh it is mostly like if you look at this side, like where the lots of numbers are written, this is basically group numbers. And if you know your group, for example, if you're 33 you look wherever 33 is included, that that is the time you have your seminar. OK. Other side, we have lectures and lectures are like in the auditorium or anatomy hall. A le when you have lecture, you will no one of this stream will have any seminar. So don't worry, lectures and seminars are no overlapping for this, this this timetable for this stream, right? If you have anatomy lecture in the on Monday, you will have no no seminar and same goes like for every lecture, you will have no seminars. OK. Another thing I want to mention here is the medical ethics one ethics one I received yesterday as well. Lots of messages saying asking like where this um where the location is. First of all, the medical ethics for this stream. It says here two w I think and it is like uh it tells you uh that your uh lesson in medical ethics, the lecture is going to be every second week and it is, if it is saying here Isolis is the uh Saa Hospital. I have uh written down here the address more eight, it's like 20 to 25 minutes by bus from the Preclinical building. So make sure when you, if you're coming from somewhere else and you're going there, uh plan your time accordingly because it's not in the same area where the preclinical building is. So it is in Sari Joana Hospital. Uh UA be more eight, you will have your medical ethics lectures there. OK. So if you have any questions at the timetable now, the right time, just ask me now if you want to know something. Uh This is for this uh stream from 33 to group 53 and the next 1 54 to 74. Um OK, we have also created a like um link for you guys where I've added most of the stuff. So we will send it after the uh lecture like tonight or something in the evening. All right. Uh Any questions to timetable? I think you must be familiar because you already attended. I hope you didn't struggle that much. OK. Um Next, let's see. Now I'm going to tell you a little bit about the curriculum. I told you already, we have lectures, seminars, colloquium final exams. So what the, what is the curriculum structure? So, first of all, you have like three different types of syllabus. They're not different. That's a lie because they are all overlapping. So we have uh lecture syllabus, we have seminar syllabus and we have exam syllabus. Uh the like lecture levels, the most important from this one is the exam syllabus. So you will be provided with the, I will show you also an example and then you will maybe understand more because it can be a little bit confusing. So the exam syllabus is the main one from where the final exam is going to be. So, but lecture syllabus and seminar syllabus, they are derived from exam syllabus is just written in different order and maybe some, not the whole one topic is covered in one lecture or one seminar. They are sometimes divided and some sylla some lectures are some syllabus points like um, you have to um uh find out which lecture is where in the exam exam syllabus, you know, it's the same thing but differently written sometimes. So that's why I'm saying if you are following the lecture syllabus or the seminar syllabus, you will be automatically uh covering lots of the topics from the exam syllabus. You just have to find the right heading for the syllabus. You understand, I will show you an example with cytology exam and then you will uh understand it better. So if it is a lecture, uh lecture syllabus is very convenient for you to find out. Ok, you went to the lecture, first lecture, second lecture, you didn't like that much or you, you were like, ok, it's not, it's not helpful for me because maybe I don't know some reasons like it's not, uh it's not uh helping you to understand the topic. So what you can do is you can check the lecture syllabus. When is which topic being presented? And who is presenting? You know, even if you like only one professor and you, like, you understand them, I think the seminars are online but the lectures are, uh, if I'm not mistaken, is in uh person but don't go on me on that because if it's written on the, uh, on the syllabus which is up, sorry, on the timetable, which is up to date, it's written io I'm just telling you if you have to go to, I, you go to that uh building uh it's a lecture and I think the seminars are online. So I would, I would uh ask the seminar professor if the lectures are online, but I think people went there. But uh if it is written on the timetable, I'm just explaining it to you. OK. So then what I want to say was uh the lecture syllabus basically help you follow like who, which professor is doing? Which lecture? Which topic are they covering? So uh do you think it will be useful for you? So you can follow the syllabus and go to the lecture hall and make your own notes even uh with using the lecture slides? And then on the other hand, the seminar syllabus is like telling you which practical part or which theoretical part is going to be uh covered in your small group in your class. So because mostly biology is uh doing Practicals, chem chemistry does practical physic physics and anatomy is practical part mostly. And that's why you will see, uh, which practical activities are we going to do one? And it is very good if you go, if you read the seminar, syllabus beforehand and then you go prepare to the class because the teachers do ask questions and they even make notes, who's good and who's not good. And then if, and it's also help you to retain the information much better if you have already had looked at the topic and then you can ask uh like very appropriate questions as well. Yeah, I hope it makes sense. At the end, doesn't matter if you're following lecture syllabus seminar, syllabus, you are preparing for exam syllabus, but I'm gonna show you uh in per personally, if you're even following exam syllabus, you find the same point here. You will be covering other, other way other like it goes vice versa. You get me OK. Um I hope it makes sense. Now, let me tell you more detail on the cytology exam or cytology exa uh syllabus 1st, 1st of all. So like I said, you have lecture syllabus seminar and exam syllabus. I am going to show them very important one which is mean uh exam syllabus, which you should follow when you're making your notes actually not gonna lie because that is, I know, OK, I have covered this point. I have covered this point because when I'm just following the lecture or seminar, I don't know which me, how many topics I or you compare and then take the from your uh syllabus of cytology. So I I know it can be confusing. Let me explain it. So, cytology exam, uh cytology syllabus consists of 114 topics. And when people say cytology exam, it's not only cytology exam. Cytology consists of histology and embryology and cytology itself. So we have 1 14 topics which are included like which are uh from all these three like total cytology. Histology and pr together makes 114 topics. So how does it look like? This is I just, it's so much. So I just wrote like just this here is this, you see the cytology topic, this is cytology section from 1 to 45 points, right? You have 45 points to cover for cytology exam. And what I'm saying is here, if you see here, one of the topics, for example, cell cycle and maybe in the lecture, it's written uh together cycle, cell division, meiosis. 11 like one day they are, they are co rec um covering the whole all three topics. So it will be written like all three together and it will be one syllabus point. You get me. That's why I'm trying to make you understand that it's same thing but different order or, or some stuff is coming like some syllabus points are coming together in the lecture or in the seminar. One. OK. So, but you should, and uh uh my recommendation is follow the syllabus to make sure you covered this, this, this topic and you are you have notes for your final exam. So, cytology exam has 45 points right then um then we have histology part of the cytology exam. So, so when people say I'm going to cytology exam, it's just not only cytology's histology and embryology, I'm just wanna make sure of this. So you have a histology part where you have again, 47 points uh for the topics for the uh histology exa histology exam. Then again, this is still histology up to 92 points. Then we have embryology section where you have only 22 topics. So all these, all the whole syllabus will be uh you will be learning through all the lectures through all the seminars. And of course, you have to, some of the topics may be by yourself as well because some of the topics may be not covered. And when you feel like it, OK. I don't have this topic. You can immediately ask your or whenever you realize, ask your professor uh like which, which resources they would recommend. I will tell you which resources I recommend you and what you can use for studying cytology. Uh One second. OK. Before we move on to exam structure, uh do you have any question to this syllabus curriculum overview? Because it can be confusing. So you understand the difference between seminar lecture syllabus and the final exam syllabus Right. I just gonna wait if you have any question, ask. No. Ok. I guess it's clear. Ok. What happened to the topic? 71 to 92. 1 2nd. Here they are histology. They are still part of the histology topic. Yeah. So, look, I have two slides for histology because otherwise it would have been, like, very cramped. So here histology start from the topic 46 and goes all the way to the next slide up to 92. Yeah. So this is the whole histology part of the cytology exam and then you have embryology part. OK? I hope it makes sense. All right. So then moving on to the exam structure of cytology. So how the exam final exam, I'm not talking about the coo uh colloquium the small test because they will be the your teacher will tell you. OK, hey, we covered this uh topic and the uh small test is going to be about this, this, this topic they will tell you um and also the practical part, they will actually tell you then um the final exam. So this is what I'm showing you is the final exam structure for cytology exam. You, first of all, it's gonna be in there in January or February. This is going to be maybe one of your first exams, right? One of the first exams. And then um you, when you go to uh exam hall, you're already having anxiety. You are like oh, you don't know, like it's my first medical school exam. You know. So don't worry. It's because why people like get so anxious because cytology is one of the exam which is very hard to pass because of this, this particular reason because people from the above years, they always say, oh my God, it's so difficult. The professors are so unfair this and that. But believe me, if you covered your basics, if you have went through your uh syllabus points, um you are good to go. I'm not saying it is um it, it is not tough, it is tough, it is tough to cover the syllabus and the exam itself is also hard. But um it's not like if you keep uh having this anxiety issue or you are scared of this exam, which is unmet, of course, uh which is very understandable. I just want to try with this uh information is that don't be scared. You will be like if you have like cover you studying regularly, you, you being you will be fine, you will be knowing you will have this knowledge to go to the exam. So how this exam is structured, start with this top test. Top test is basically MC Qs. They provide you 12 Mc Qs and you have to pass that number. Uh I think more than six you have to pass. Uh you have to be have correct to go to the practical part. So what is practical part. This is like you get four histological slides. I'm going to show you here like what I talking about like this practical syllabus, right? One second, I'm gonna go back back this uh sorry. No, no. Here the seminar syllabus basically is your practical part here because in the seminar of cytology, you will be going to many, many histology slides with under the which you will look under the microscope and then you identify the tissue. So this is your second part of the exam. First, you do the MC Qs, then you do the practical part, four slides you have to identify and uh um the grading is depending on your answer as well. Uh Like you check what, what is this tissue? And maybe they will ask you about the staining as well. Then in the after you've done this, you go to the oral and written part, oral and written part is consisting together with six questions. So what I do, I mean by this, if you see here, if you look here example of a ticket, you, it's with six question when I say questions for the oral exam and the people say, oh, I got three in this final exam, two questions. It's not question question per se. It's more like topics from the syllabus. This is your question for your final exam. You will receive a ticket which is um randomly designed like there could be anything on this sixth question could be anything but it is for sure. You will get two questions from the cytology syllabus. Like if you look here uh cytology, you're gonna get two points from here from cytology part of the cytology exam, the syllabus and two questions from the histology part. Yeah, up to 92 and two questions from the embryology part. So as you can see here, we have your six questions. So first two cytology, second two from histology and third is the embryology. And as you can see, it's not as formulated as questions. For example, you get this ticket, you go to the exam, you have done your stop test, you are done with the practical part. You go to the lecture hall and there are many like tickets and you have, they are all uh hidden, but basically you don't, you can't see the text and you have to pull one and that's your ticket then. So it's randomly assigned. Uh and it can be any variant. It could be any like it could be topic, two, topic with 50 60. It's mixed but you, it will be for sure two from each of the subcategory of the cytology syllabus. Yeah. So when you have this um then for the oral uh oral part, you have like from these six questions, you have three oral and three written and your professor will tell you which one is written and which one is oral. So basically when you are you got your ticket, you sit down, you write for the written part, your questions on your, they will provide you a work, a paper sheet. Then you can write for the oral part. On the other hand, you can write some bullet point and then you for both when you're done with the whole uh ticket, when you answered all the six questions, like also like, you know, your oral questions and uh you, you know, you can answer them, you're ready to get examined, you go to the examiner, then you will uh you have two professors. You have one first two professor for this exam. First professor will ask you to uh tell him the first oral question. So you have to talk, for example, your uh oral question is ribosomes. Yeah, you have to talk everything you have studied throughout the semester about the ribosomes. What is the function, what everything like in the lectures? Like they can ask you about the cell organelles as well. Here other another cell organelles as well or the and the second is the written part, right? So the written two written questions. So it could be any you already wrote down when you had the time. So you ha give them, give it to the professor. He will read it. Then after you're done with the first professor, you go to the second professor, he will do, he will have the other way around. He will have two oral and one written. Yeah. So uh so now you have like 1 to 10 question which he will check. OK. What did you write? And then he asked you to answer the two other different points. So it is open and you can talk any, like not anything. Of course, you have to talk is ribosome. For example, what is placenta? What? When is it like um uh sorry, like you, you uh your connection was lost but can you repeat that again? Where was it, where was it last? Can you tell me just a little bit back? Uh the ticket? OK. Sorry. OK. I'm gonna just say like uh the second professor you have like uh two oral and 31 written. Um What's gonna do is like the second one, you, same thing, you get your two oral questions and you talk about these topics and if some pro professor don't be, don't be surprised. Some, some professor they ask questions after even you explain the whole topic and some uh professors will be asking nothing or they will asking like just to know how much you know, more. So it's not a bad or good thing. So it depends on you how you present the topic and how much they think, you know, and if they needed to know more like extra stuff from you. So just to make sure which way to, to give you. Yeah. All right. I hope it makes sense and you can hear me now right properly. OK. Um So any questions to this cytology exam structure, this will be your first exam. That's why I did it in so detail. So you know what is coming for you coming like uh in January or in February for you? OK. All right. Then moving on to. Oh yeah, the resources, of course, you know your exam structure. How are you going to study for cytology? So first thing I'm going to just mention before I start with the resources. Um There are plenty, plenty of resources for medical students. Like if we talk about alone, the books, they're unlimited like um like books which we can use for uh as a medical students. So, but my um and of course, when you start as a medical uh first year medical student, same with me when I started, I was like, I have to buy every single book, but that's not the case. Believe me. I did buy most of the books in the first year, which I actually also regretted because it's first of all, waste of money, you don't have time to cover all the book syllabus. This is like actually get very difficult because you have lecture slides, you have your um seminar uh notes, you have your own notes, you have also like all the other resources and then you check the book, then book books mostly now, like from the 2nd, 3rd year I started using them as a reference. And it's not a bad thing. If you are good with book, learn, then go with books as well. But there are many. So I, what I did it now I chose the, which I think are the best and you will not do anything wrong if you use them. But of course, there are plenty books which you are free to explore, but one request as well if you want to save your money, most of the books are available as PDF. So uh you can read them through your PDF as well. So talking about the cytology. Now, first of all, rely on the lecture slides, they are made designed as your professors going to ask you exam exam questions. You know, because the seminars and lectures, they are mostly the same people. Mostly I'm not saying it's all the time, but most of the time it could be the same professors and then you know what he covered and what he focuses on for you. You your school, your Medical University of Sofia. So if you follow the lectures, you will actually covering the uh exam syllabus, right? OK. So if you think like OK, lecture slides are not enough. Oh, by by the way, OK, lecture slides for the theory part, right? Then I told you you have practical part as well, like seminars is practical where you check your histology slides. So the histology slides, I would recommend you to uh regular make notes and get familiar, make your eyes, like, try your eyes to be familiar with the those histology slides and they are from the Medical Medical University of Sofia. They will provide you those slides and it is better to study with them because they are going to be in the exams as well. Right. So you're going to use the same microscope and similar slides, you know, so it's better to be familiar with those. Um, most of the lecturers do that and some of them don't even have Google classrooms, but uh previous years people have collected it and, um, we have previous lectures as well. But what you can do is you can even ask the professor and most professor will send you in one of the emails and then you can, uh distribute between yourself like, uh in your group, do it like that. So, what we did is we asked the professor, can you provide it? And then they were like, ok, send me the, uh, email, give me one email and they will send it to you. Ok. But cytology, anatomy and biology lectures, they are all in the PDF file, like in the Google Drive. So you can use them. And of course, uh, if you're using them, make sure if you're going to the lecture, keep them updated because they are from previous years. Right? Ok. Then, um, we have like, uh, books for the, oh, yeah. What I was, I was saying for histology slides, well, make yourself familiar with them uh while you're in the class. And also maybe for the practical part, it is seminars are not only enough, what you can do is you can go in your own time as well and uh practice with them. Histology slides. This will be very helpful. Uh These, these slides are actually enough to pass your practical exam. But of course, if you need more knowledge and more like you want to have like uh thorough uh understanding the go to book the Classic Choice for Histology to cover histology is the Jan Ques Basic Histology. This book is a, you can use as a mean or as a reference. So both you can, it, you will be not doing wrong buying this book, you don't even have to buy this book. It's also available as PDF and you can even annotate by download the book and annotate on your uh ipad or on your tablets, uh Samsung tablets, right? OK. Then uh so there are also another other books which I haven't included. There are like variety of histology books, but this is every student's go to book. If it comes to histology, it has cons explained every tissue properly. And I personally use this book. Um This was the only worth buying for me which I didn't know we have, we didn't have the PDF at that time. So I did use this book. Uh I did buy that book. So then then another part of the cytology is uh embryology, right? So embryology, I will recommend this book um if you want to study with the book, otherwise the lecture slides are enough, you can use this book and you can combine but, but some people also students also do is they combine the book and they combine the lecture slide and they make their own notes, notes. And um this is also like uh an option. Uh Other thing is um if you wanna have ve like, if you're someone who wanna become maybe pathologist and you wanna have very, very, very deep understanding of histology. So what you can do is there is an online resource called um the Histology Guide Un from University of Leeds. It's a free website. You can uh actually navigate through different slides. They have also the concise short uh information to each slides and it's like very like useful if you wanna have a reference or you just wanna check something out, this will be very helpful. Uh You have seminar which you will study there, but you can go in your own time. And for example, most of the people go in like break time and because no, they know there's no seminar going on. So they go in the break time and ask the professor, is it OK if I uh study or sometime there is like um people like um attending other groups as well. This is also possible. You can say, OK, I wanna go and uh like I wanna train more so you can ask the other professor, is it OK if I come and uh just do my thing, like I just wanna study these, you know? Yes, the online resource, I hope I answered your question. Au um The, the, yeah, the online resource I'm saying is, is also for histology part, histology part is like the, the resource I'm telling you is the Histology guide from University of Leed. If you'll check if you read here, the third online resource I've written down uh the histology guide from University of Leeds. They have like all the like histology slides on their platform. You can use, this is free to use like um website. You, it's no, no cost, nothing, it's free and you can use it to navigate through the slides and the information about slides as well. It's similar like what you do in practical, you checking the online platform and gathering more his information about the histology part. You get me OK, then. Um OK, we are uh done with the S cytology if you have any question to cytology because basically these are my resources which I personally also used and got familiar with. So that's why there are more, I'm not gonna lie uh for embryology. I, I am not familiar with online resources for embryology. There is like a platform called Ambos, which I'm gonna explain later. Ambos has also really, really good summaries on the embryo embryology. Um And it's, it's very concise and on the point I will tell you more about that. But other than that, but that is paid uh paid platform, it's not free. OK. Um You, when you have your first seminar or first lecture, you go to them and tell them, can we have your email and then they give it to you mostly on the website as well. There is a list but it's not, uh, there's a department list on the website. Um, if I, uh, I will do like that, I will make a, I will do a screenshot and I will, uh, include in our document which I'm sending you later guys, which we will send you later. And, uh, it will be hopefully having all the professors and if this, if particular professor's email is or contacts are not there, then you can even ask them in person. But I will try to add that whole document. There is a whole document on the website. They've recently updated their website. Um, so it has more information than usual, uh, before. Ok. All right. Uh, then moving on to biology. So biology is another one of the challenging exams. So, so I, I'm not gonna take, uh, talk about Math Ethics that much because mat ethics is just MC Qs and, uh, for the, for, to study Math Ethics, uh, you can just focus on the lecture syllabus. Uh this like lectures actually. And then you will be doing the MC QS if you follow the lectures. If you uh because it's um they provide the lectures in certain way and seminars they do in certain way. It is very easy to answer MC Qs. If you have went throughout your classes, you have gone to the classes and you have read the material. MC QS are then easy to answer. There is no big like part of medical ethics is just you go to the lecture hall, you get the MC Qs and then you are done, right? OK. But cytology exam is one of the uh challenging exam. Same with biology. So biology is going to be in the end of the second semester. So you uh first year when you're ending your first year, then you're gonna have biology exam. So for biology exam, you have 103 points, one and three point syllabus point like cytology. Um I can't show you e syllabus because otherwise I'm gonna end it 100 slides on my power point. So that's why I'm just, I just put here the headings of each section in biology, um syllabus. So as you can see here, you have eight sections and each of these section has certain amount of uh uh syllabus points. It's like 10 to 2015, like depending on it and com uh together total, they make 103 points right. Ok. So for biology, I'm going to tell you, uh, the exam structure, uh, exams are similar, very similar to the cytology exam. But here you don't have any practical part and the oral part is only, also, only three questions. But for biology exam, lots of people also, uh, the statistics of passing biology exam was, um, not that great. Um, it's also, uh, in my opinion, the department is really strict with the grading system. I'm not gonna lie and uh they want little bit more than basics. So it's not just enough to know like um just, you know, a level knowledge because I know biology is from a level like you guys, most of you maybe uh have just finished a level and uh you know, your biology and it's mostly the syllabus is like replication, transcription, DNA RN A, these things, meiosis mitosis, these things. But what is added here is in this uh in uh medical un Sofia. Of course, if you look here here, the structures of DNA RN A like these things, then information about geno uh ge genome and the cell cycle, uh reproduction and biology. Uh this biop polymers and cell cells, molecular. This uh this part is more like comparative anatomy. It's not like si like we had comparative anatomy before, but now they changed it. So it is more like it's a new section I think for you guys as well. And uh uh I mean, it's gonna be maybe it's new for you to study. Then, I mean, then parasites parasitology is one of the main uh um topics as well in biology and uh my experience and uh when I ask other people as well, well, in the exam, it is 90% of the case. That one question from parasitology is added that you will get 90% of the time parasitology uh evolution and development. And then uh other other uh third question is from anywhere from above, right? But parasitology is 10 to be asked in the exam. So you go to the uh biology exam. It's also in preclinical building. You have a stop test here, you have to pass six questions, you have to have six correct question in order to go further to all part. Um This uh stop test is very important most of the people because it's like, again, the one of the challenging exam and people are like, oh like maybe anxiety and stuff and then you don't read it properly. My advice is sit down, read the MCQ S thoroughly and then answer them. Then you can go to the further. Next step is the oral part, which is three questions here. You don't have any written, you can you get, you go to the professor, you, you finish with stop test, then they send you to the oral part and then you will again, you will have a ticket with three questions. This is one of the example I have shown again, you will have three questions and these questions will be uh on your ticket. And it can be, like I said, it can be any be anywhere from the biology syllabus, like the topics. So you know what you're gonna like, you have to talk now. So they do give you time, like you can have like up to 20 minutes, 15 minutes. Uh sometimes it's a different order as well. Like most of the exam people go like randomly when they're done, they go to the professor and they say I'm ready for to get examined, you know, in the lecture hall. So you sit there, you write down some stuff uh or if you don't want to, you just go through your knowledge, information in your head and then you're like, OK, I'm ready to um explain it to my professor. What I know. So then you go to the professor uh and then uh what, what, what happens? Then they ask you to talk, you talk about the different topics. Like I said, look, there is one of the, the tria Spiralis is one of the parasite. So you talk about this topic in the parasitology. It's very important to know the life cycle of the parasite. That's the ask you always about this uh life cycle of the parasites then um under all the stuff my is meto is blah, blah, blah. This is very similar. If you know your basic from your a level. You're good to go for biology and biology. Some of the topics overlap with the cytology as well. So if you are doing the cytology exam, do compare your biology biology syllabus with your syllabus. So you can make, you can say, ok, I'm, I'm already making my notes for biology as well. That's what we did as well because most of the like uh because you have replication and stuff in cytology as well. And here as well in biology. So which is uh basics, which you should know, right? And so here do focus on the parasitology evolution part. And also on the, like I said on this biop polymers and cell, this dissection. But of course, everything is important because your third question can be from anywhere. OK. All right. So, and uh in the exam, it is possible if you get this ticket, the professor may ask you questions out of this ticket and they go maybe somewhere they like saying, OK, you have this parasite compared to this parasite. Also possible but not always necessary. Like it is also possible. You just talk and they say, OK, good bye. And then they give you grade immediately at the spot. Um Yeah, mostly they give it or you wait like to get um them to finish in, in your, in your record. And so then they tell you, but mostly you see it, you know, you just sneak peek OK. What, what was my grade? You know? All right. So this is the exam structure of biology. Now, I'm going to tell you the resources of biology. First of all, again, the same principle I have done this in most of the stuff in the A level. But of course, there are new topics or little bit, the information has to be in little bit details, right? But of course, you need to know your basics. What I here also recommend is to look at the lecture slides, right? And for the lecture slide, they will be covering most of the topics then um for uh all the basic uh biology, like general biology about the cell cycle, about the rep like all the uh e evolution part or anything or immunology. Even you can uh find many youtubers which are explaining these to topics. That's what you can do. There's a quick video on one of the topic compare with your lecture. Did you annotate at the lecture slide? Watching the video if you are someone who like to be get explained by someone. So um so it is better to watch a video and then annotate your lecture slides, right? OK. Or there's another platform Khan Academy, I think everybody knows that uh which will be, which is used in a levels, but they also do very toro so it is good if you want to have a video. Uh and like you want to revise the topic with video Khan Academy is good. Then for parasitology part, I will definitely one book I will recommend is this Panic Textbook of Medical Parasitology. This book is actually explaining all the important stuff which you need for learn about parasites. Of course, you're going to have your lecture slides. What you can do is you can use this book again, it's available as PDF. Uh you can use this book and compare with the lecture slides and then this this way um because this book has like very, it's one chapter in two pages and it's written everything, one information at one place because parasitology can be very, very overwhelming. So le slides a lot, a lot to learn about it. So it's easier if you compare your lecture slide with this book information. And then you think, OK, what do I need to learn from the lecture? And what can I add to this book? So main important part for parasitology is do you know your life cycle of the parasite? Yeah. OK. And another tip, keep your notes from parasitology. You, you, you will have infectious diseases in sixth year, which you will be needing these notes again. So keep your notes from parasitology. Like if you have an exam in biology, part of parasitology in um biology. And then you will have another exam in uh sixth year on in with the infectious diseases where you have to know parasitology. Of course, you don't need to know for sixth year, all the details, more life cycle blah, blah, it's more like clinical based but it helps if you have these notes. Ok. Then to cover the um immunology part, this book is recommended by most of students because immunology can be very tricky. Again, I can recommend here Ambu as well. If you have, if you want to read uh extra then Immunology for Ambu and this book both are good and of course lecture slides are really good for biology. They are um designed to you like give you the whole information, but of course, it could be very, very big lecture and then you are like overwhelmed and you want to have a quick read of a chapter, then you can go to the book, open it and then you are good to go or you go to the Ambu platform where they have everything concise and at one place, this is really good as well. So basically giving you the all the opportunities, right? OK. So these are the resources for biology. I don't have any more resources if you have any question for biology. Now is the time to ask, you can or you can ask later as well. So um if you don't have any other question, I will move on to the next biggest exam in your medical school is the anatomy exam before I move on. Um I'm not covering chem chemistry or physics. It's very similar to um the the the part you have chemistry syllabus, you have physics syllabus. So you will have um you have oral exam, you will get two questions from each syllabus. If I'm not mistaken, it is two or three questions. Like in the ticket. Again, it will have like three syllabus points or two syllabus points for chemistry and physics that so of course, different days and then you have to talk about that and you have to explain it to your professor. Um For physics, I will recommend you do you do have to learn some kind of formulas in physics. So um that have in mind, but I don't remember calculating anything that big in physics, but uh you need to know your formulas, right? OK. Again, um after uh OK, chemistry is done, physics is done. Um now your first year exam like Latin and Bulgarian are also like your teachers will tell you stuff. It's just um they will provide you um at the sport, they have a test like for Bulgarian language and Latin language more like grammar test and it's written an exam, it's not oral. Bulgarian and Latin are mostly written. So they check your um knowledge on the language like it's more like English ground and stuff like if you had like English, it's not at that high level, but it's more like because you're starting in first year, it's going to be a basic Bulgarian language exam or in Latin as Well, so Latin, you have to um also um the the teacher will teach you and you have to learn certain words and terminology of uh um medicine in like Latin. Basically, this is these are the things you should focus on. OK. Uh uh chemistry and physics, I would recommend, I would say like you have practical books, they have, they are very nicely explained stuff like for the first years, uh your professor will show you which book you need to buy. They, they will tell you it's even, you know, they have also some, some of the departments have also photo of their book cover in the front of the department. But before you buy the book, make sure you psa is recommending you this book, mostly it's the same one for everyone. But um I don't know, sometimes they change the books uh from the semester to semester. So make sure you ask your chemistry teacher and physics, which practical book it is you have to buy because you have to buy medical chemistry, practical um uh practice practical book where you do experiments and write stuff down and for physics. Same. Uh so, but do ask them which one is and to learn to, to learn actually like what's called um for the theory part for chemistry and physics, I would recommend you any youtube channel like which are you you are familiar with? Uh because you need to cover your medical uh chemistry and physics also again. And another platform I want to say that uh say was um I don't have any particular books because I actually use their lectures from uh Medical University of Sofia when they and combined it with the practical book. And if I needed to understand something, I just put randomly in youtube, explain me this topic. You know, you just put like, I don't know, redox action and then come something comes up. So these things OK? I hope it makes sense. Like I don't, I personally didn't buy any extra books for chemistry or physics. Apart from the practical, which you need, you have to buy for your practical classes. OK. So you have to buy apart from like any book like you have to only buy like for the chemistry, practical physics, practical Latin language book, Bulgarian language book. Apart from this, I don't remember any other book you need to buy. So that's why you need, you can have all the other books like you just for reference mean like I told you histology all as PDF. OK. Then um I hope I answered your question. Then moving on to anatomy. Anatomy is another big, big, big, big exam. I like it's just not nice, 274 points, 11 points. But of course it is. You welcome. Uh Of course, it is uh like over the two years. So you learning anatomy over the four semesters. So I haven't included the uh like whole syllabus here, but I included the subpoint here. So what you have now uh in the first week you will like in the first semester. Actually, you will start with the bones and joints right in your seminars. So you will be actually seeing real bones and you will be uh identifying like the structures on the bones. It's very important. You need to know these things, you need to, you uh you should be able to identify bones and you should know the fun what type of joints there are, uh what is the function range of motion, this and that these are all, they will tell you what you need to know. Then second part part is muscles is uh same like uh on muscles. It's important to know they, in the exams. They do ask you about the nerve supply and function of the muscle like what which group this muscle is belonging to and what is the nerve supply and what is the function of the muscle and attachment sizes on the bones. So for example, if you have a hand muscle, you have to tell on which bone, where is the attachment site? You know what I mean? It's a lot of information. But if you have for each muscle, one thing, you are good to go, just try to remember these things from day one. Um Then of course, then you have a part classes where you have internal organ classes like all the internal organs uh is being taught. Like you have like you have to learn about micro macroscopic structure. You have to uh learn if the the organ is um which blood uh what is the blood supply of the organ? What is the nerve supply? What is a lymphatic drainage uh and the topography. So and then you also have endocrine glands. You have cardiovascular system here, you will know, you have to know the blood vessels, all of the blood vessels with location and branches also called lateral pathways. This these, these questions are asked and lymphatic system, you will learn everything. Don't worry, you will be provided with the material and you will learn and then you will be understanding more what I'm saying here and but so you have heard what to focus on because when I start anatomy, I didn't know where to start because it was so much like OK, we are doing bones but what do I need to know for bones? Ok. I just need to know name. No, not just the name, I need to know different structure on the bone because there are certain protrusions or uh depressions. You need to know why this, why this bone has depression in that, that side or why is this protrusion? What is this protrusion pulled and w which muscle is attaching to this bone? So this information you will be learning. Um There are like six points you should know for muscles, like nerve supply functions, attachment site on the bone, muscle group, these things I'm saying, there's just no what is expected from you. So you are not in like learning like aimlessly. So because anatomy is a very overwhelming subject. So then uh for the neuroanatomy, which is I wrote here, nervous system, you will be uh you have like CNS and uh central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. For central nervous system, you have your macrostructure and microstructure. And for peripheral nervous system, of course, you have to know your peripheral nerves, their it's their courses and the branches. This is very important because this is one of the neuroanatomy. I have to say it is very um too much to uh memorize the all the cranial nerves and their their courses, right? OK. Then we have topographic anatomy. It is what is topographic anatomy. It's like just studying a region like for example, neck region or head and neck region, you have to learn everything from this region. OK. What is in this region? Which which uh uh is the thyroid gland? OK. Which vessels are going there, which muscles are here? You have to learn this. You get, you should be able to explain the region to the professor. What do you find here in? And which topographic order like where is the first layer, second layer, third layer? What is it, you know like that? It's overwhelming but you will get hang of it believe me then. Uh yeah. So moving on to the anatomy, I will, I will tell you the resources for anatomy as well and how to study each section, uh how I studied and how can you approach that as well? Then um for the exam structure of anatomy, I will tell you um the structure is very similar to the cytology one which we just covered. Uh So what is here here, you again has test. I recently talked to people. They said it's not Mc Qs anymore. Like it's more like open ended questions, 12 questions. And again, you have to have six correct in order to go further to the practical part. So uh what is practical part in anatomy, in practical part in anatomy is you have nine questions for the practical part. Practical part is, you know, you now in the seminars, you're going to go to the dissection hall where you will have cadavers, internal organs, uh bones, muscles. Uh you will learn all of the. So nine questions will be from the any part of the body. So it will be it can be. And they are all like, of course, you have a cadaver, you have internal organs around the on the table. You also have a brain, you also have like different structures from the body or the arm laying around. So you have to explain the bra like some plexus as nerves. So I'm just telling you the practical part you will be in the dissection hall, there will be a big table with all the anatomical structure which are real, of course cadavers and stuff which you will be studying through the years and then you go there, then the professor will be standing there and he will be telling you to explain nine different structures from the human body. It can be neuroanatomy. It could be, he is asking you to explain the structures in the brain. It could be because um in the brain where you will, when you study it, you have to also do the macro parts and microstructure, which you will be seeing. You have to identify them during your class. You should learn this, it uh it could be bones, muscles, uh internal organs. He can give you he can he tell you, OK, pick up uh stomach or pick up liver and talk about it. You know, like this, this is your practical exam. So you have, you will get nine question. He will ask you about nine different uh anatomical structures and you have to show them maybe and then maybe you have to explain it to them, answer his question. And depending on your knowledge, he will give you a certain grade in the same practical part. You have also histology slides. Again, here you have histology slides. You will get six histology slides and um you have to identify the tissue like um which will be, you will be doing um anyway, for the cytology, you're learning, you will be learning this and then you're doing the histology part as a practical here, which will be more like, OK, you have liver tissue on the slide or you have some uh muscle tissue, right? OK. Then for anatomy, you have also oral and written part. Uh after you have done the test, after you have done a practical, you have oral and written part here. You have like three oral questions, three written question similar to cytology. Um But here, uh the question, six questions can be anywhere from the syllabus. We said we have here. How many uh questions? We said, we said we have uh 274 points. So mostly the questions, one question comes from these, these uh bones and muscles together. The first question, then it could be one question from the internal organ. Uh Then from cardiovascular, it could be um any like about the it could, it can be heart related, it could be vessels related, could be arteries, it could be veins uh and neuroanatomy can be questions like uh from the cranial nerves or brain itself. You have like whole syllabus. They are like sub the for each of these headings, you have subheadings, right? So look at this uh those syllabus and then you have topographic regions. So six questions are made up from these sub um these categories. Uh So you will definitely have from each category one question. So you have to cover, for example, for topography, uh topographical region they have here written down orbital region. So you have to explain the whole orbit like uh the content, the layers and everything. So you learn this right. So very overwhelming, don't get scared. You will be fine if everyone is doing it. So the people who are starting, they will also do it. So don't worry. Um then for anatomy resources, anatomy resources are not countable anymore in the world. So for medical students, there are so many books for anatomy and so many platforms, how to choose like the best one, it's impossible because it's everyone has their own. Like we are different, we, we, I like this anatomy book and you don't. And then I'm like, OK, it's just about yourself like what is best for you? That's why I'm gonna tell again these atlases. So both the Grace Anatomy, everything is provided by this uh draw books for university like you have like M us dropbox. Uh we have the PDF S there. So before you buying, if you're really a person who wants to hold a book in the hands and study from the book, before you buy it, go through the PDF files for books and look which one is best for you, which works for you best uh like is it Grace Anatomy? I'm going to give you some resources. Oh Yeah, for this uh anatomy uh exam or anatomy subject itself. Our University Medical University of Sofia is the first name I have written down here. Selkov. Soni COV is a big two volume book on anatomy, which is written by our Medical University of Sofia professors. And they have provided it, they use this book. And according to this book, they structure their seminars, most of them, most of them, my experience, most of them structure their seminars according to this book. So it's also available as PDF. So if you know, OK, my professor next week is covering, I don't know, skull, right? So you go to this book, you can read the topic and when you go to the class, you will be, if he is teaching you uh using SNA co you will be understanding much more. Otherwise they talk a lot like they explain the structures and then you like, OK, what is he talking about? It is very good for anatomy. We really, really, it's very beneficial if you go prepared to the seminars. So you know what's going on. So you have more time to revise, ask accurate questions. So, so com by provider, Medical University of Sofia, it's available as PDF. This can be your uh go to book actually for a Medical University of Sofia. I'm not gonna lie. It's a lot. It's just, there's not even pictures, it's more like text, but that's how they do it. Yes. Uh I, I'm gonna send the uh what's called drive later and it has anatomy resources, it has most of the anatomy resources, lots of like more than I have mentioned here. So you will get this uh drive as well uh which has KO which has Grace Anatomy sub like more of these important books, right? Uh OK, then um OK, then we have grays. Anatomy. Grace Anatomy is international level. Like people mostly use it for Atlas. If you are wanna have like good visualization of the um body parts, anatomical structures, grace anatomy is very good to go. Uh Then we also have Se Bota Atlas which is very similar to Grace Anatomy. Natus Atlas. Uh Natus has also flashcards which I have shown here on the picture this side on the Grace Anatomy one Natus which is uh anatomy flashcards here. This will be very helpful. If you wanna memorize structures, you wanna do this space repetition. This will be very helpful for you. OK. So then we have like I said, we have lots of material, lots of books, lots of atlases um books just if you want to go let stick, like do give her a try to Kov uh because you will understand how professors are teaching. But again, it is possible because professors have maybe changed over the years, maybe not all of them using the soko but Skov is very good. It is like written word by word. You can explain someone how skulls look like, you know SK SCA look like it's actually written, like it's like telling this whole description part just with words. OK. Then um moving on for resources of an for anatomy, more resources. Again, of course, lecture slides, you have the lectures provided by your professors uh and online platform. This is um one thing I wished I knew before. Like uh I like when I started medical school, I didn't, I wasn't familiar that much with these online platforms. Um I started uh I got familiar with it like end of second year. So which would have maybe saved my like time and it was would have not been that frustrating. So first online platform, I'm going to tell you is Canu can hub is if you wanna learn and if you're a person who likes to watch videos and learn, they have like short videos on each anatomy structure, mostly muscles, bones, also internal organs. And they give you the essential information. For example, if they're explaining your liver, they will tell you OK, this is the macroscopic structure. That's how liver look like. This is the parts called and then they explain you microscopic structure and then they tell you which blood supply, which nerve and which lymphatic drainage. And they also tell you where this main blood supply is coming from. And at the end of their like also they, they have like it's a subscription base basic, by the way, but at the end of their lesson, uh and the video or um theory part. They also have some small articles. Uh they also make a clinical correlation, clinical correlation to the each organ, which is very helpful to understand why I'm learning what I'm learning, right? OK. So can hub is one of the like very good platform for if you're learning anatomy, uh then we have Abu. Abu is also uh if you have to have everything at one place. So ams with Ambu, you can study histology, embryology, anatomy. And Ambu has also like slide uh part as well, like where you can actually zoom in and uh look at your histology slides or cytology slides, right? OK. Then for neuroanatomy, if you want to invest in anything, it's Dr Najib's lectures. Neuro an OK. I would not say like it's, I would say it's the best lectures ever for neuroanatomy because he makes you like understand the neuroanatomy in a way which will be, of course, you have to keep repeating in order to make it stick in your head. But when you're reading, I, what I did is I watched his lectures, I made notes with his lectures for neuroanatomy. He explained the cranial nerve course, like how the nerve is starting from here, how it is going wherever it is going because this is called uh topographical uh like you have to explain the course. Like if, if you go back, why I'm saying this is important um here in the, in the peripheral nervous system you have here, you have to explain the course and branches on the after the nervous system. PNS here course and branches and this course is explained by Dr Rajiv. In such a nice way. I'm not gonna lie. The videos are very long. They can be up to two hours, but you can watch on times two and making notes. That's what I did for all the cranial nerves. I went to his uh website is called Dr Najib's lectures dot com or something. If you google him, Dr Najib, you will find his lectures. Um and it's not even that expensive that back then it was like 10 10 to 20 lbs for the lifetime subscription. And he doesn't have only neuroanatomy. He has physiology, pathophysiology, which he explains wonderfully. He has also some free videos on youtube which I watched. And um I have to say that the make the way he make you understand the topics. It is incredible because I can read by myself, keep reading, reading, reading and I keep watching videos. But the way he explain it is like, it's my experience I'm sharing with you. You can check the free videos of his in on youtube and then you can decide for yourself if you wanna learn with him or not. OK. OK. Then for Ken Hub, um I'm just gonna mention one thing in some of the dropbox. We have also some uh free can videos and youtube as well. You can watch can of videos for free as well. But if you want to have the whole access, there are videos as well in one of the dropbox. So before you go ahead, buy it, just check out which uh videos are missing or if you need it or not, just try to um uh to explore the dropbox first. OK. All right. Uh Then these are the resources for anatomy and also for anatomy. I would suggest um is my opinion you can do with um digital note taking, use digital because I mean, you can start like, uh I, what I did was when I started um medical school, I, because I was, I'm the person who writes everything. I started making my anatomy notes, uh handwritten and I was drawing. I love drawing and an anatomical structure and this and that. But uh uh it was so much time consuming. You have no idea. I wasted so much time. I'm not going to say like I'm not going to glorify it. Oh my God, I'm drawing anatomy and this, it looks everything looked very cool and nice, but it was neat and clean. But the thing was I was running out of time when I'm going to have this information in my brain when I'm going to have the time for like, revise it. If I'm keep making nice and clean notes, you know, I'm not guests. I love making nice and clean clean and notes. But of course, you need to have a system which works for, which is sustainable over the years because more you go further into years, the syllabus, the content is increasing and there's no time for me to make notes for each topic. So I'm going to explain to you at the end how uh we manage that, which strategies we used. Uh So for anatomy for now, I have, I think given all the information uh if you have any questions for anatomy or cytology or biology, anything you can ask me, then other than if you don't have any question, I'm gonna explain quickly the other online platforms which medical students use, like in general, it's not just specific subjects which you can go. Do we take one for every year, one at the end of the second? No, the final exam is only one, the final exam is only one end of your second year. You have small Testum throughout your seminar time. That are like just for example, you uh uh did the topic, you finished uh muscles and bones and then you're gonna have your class practical test on that with your professor. And they are just class tests. They're small test. But the final one big exam which I showed the structure is going to be at the end of your second year. OK. All right. So these are some other platforms I'm mentioning you for uh your uh medical um journey. One example subject, yes, you have anatomy. One, like I said, yes, you have one exam, final exam, subject, biology. One big exam with uh with the stop test and the oral cytology. In one day, you have stop test histology slides and the oral unwritten part. In one day you have an the whole anatomy exam which is with different parts. You know, which I just explained. You have one final exam per subject, like at the end of like 1st, 1st semester, you have cytology but don't confuse them with the class that colloquium they are throughout the years. OK? I hope it makes sense. OK. Then these are the like some basic like no basic. There are just other medical platforms which you can use for reference if you like them, they are, most of them are free youtube channels. Um What I use now like since third, since second six, end of end of second year and third year. Sorry is uh Ambu. Ambu is like a platform where you find everything you have all the information cons at one place. Um We have another uh webinar on 26 for just explaining ambos. So med is collaborating with ambos and we gonna uh explain uh this a manager of uh Amber doctor. So he's going to explain the whole uh platform and what you what how is it beneficial for medical students. So uh if you have time on 26 do keep eye on our uh social media and you will be finding the registration date some after every semester or just at the end of the second year. Um, no, just end of the second year. This first semester, you have one final, ex two final exams, which is cytology and medical ethics. You will have medical ethics and cytology only for first semester. And after that, you have the exam and you're done with those both subjects, you're not gonna see them again, right? If you're done with the exams, so you will have only in the first, every semester, you have certain exams and final exams. Like, for example, now you have cytology next year. I think you have some other exam. I'm, I'm not sure right now, I think it's gonna, I'm not, I, I'm not gonna say, I don't want to say anything wrong but, but uh every semester there are certain final exam end of your, each semester. Yeah. And for the end of the second year you have, um, biology, chemistry, physics and Latin and Bulgarian. Uh, these are your, uh, sorry in the first, end of first year and the second year you have just anatomy, just anatomy, final exam. No, there are more exams. Sorry. No. Don't call me at all. Like I'm just saying, like at the, if you, uh in order to answer your question just at the end of the second year, you have including other exam, you have anatomy as your final year exam. Like, not, uh, every semester you have final ex anatomy exam. That's not how anatomy is only one exam and that's at the end of second year. Yeah, I hope it makes sense. Sorry. Uh, I hope I didn't con confuse you guys. Ok. Uh, then I just said, like, ambos, you can, uh, if you want to have more knowledge on it, uh, or get familiar with it, we also going to do some um uh free sub give some like quizzes where you can uh 10 ambos will I think it will cost uh around. I have, I'm not sure yet, but I think it's around 70 €80 right now per year. It's per year the subscription. But uh if you are interested, I will highly recommend you to attend the webinar on uh 26th. And there they will also provide discounts. If you are lo large group of uh people, they will provide discounts. And also there will be quizzes where you can maybe uh win like three months, four months, uh free subscription as well. So if you're interested join that webinar is also free. So just come and have a look at Amas platform. And then OK, then we have also youtubers like osmosis, osmosis is by the way, very good video visualize. Uh It's more like for people like who are in like doing like uh pathology, pa physiology and stuff like that because that is more like clinical based and you, it is this, this osmosis videos are included in Ambu platform. So if you have Ambu, you have uh mostly osmosis videos as well, then we have um medical na Ninja Nerd Amando has. And so they are also very good like youtuber if you want some quick video and want quick explanation. OK. All right. Uh These are some platform, not all of them, you will be using it now, but of course, I'm just giving you for future reference. OK. All right. Now I have covered, I think most of the important subjects, the syllabus curriculum. How the structure is. If you have any question regarding subjects, syllabus, you can ask me or you can also at the end of the talk as well. I am just going to continue with some certain study techniques. Of course, you have your huge cebu, you understand your structure, you know what is what is expected from you. Exam is mostly oral. So if you, if someone asked me today, which study technique is the best. I would go ahead and say there is no like universal best study technique. Like it's not, there are maybe a study technique which works for me be the best, but it doesn't work for you. So that's why it is important. Find your um study strategy, study techniques which works best for you. I will definitely show you what, what uh what study techniques or strategies there are to study all these syllabuses and what to do. But of course, it's uh up to you if it is like working for you or not and you can free to switch around as well to find out, um, what works for you. And moreover, what is important in medical school is, uh, if you wanna have, of course, I'm not gonna say you're not gonna be frustrated, anxiety at all if you do all these things because it is still overwhelming most of the time. And, but if you have consistency and you are disciplined and you have like um your strategies, it will be less stressful at the end. OK. So let me show you effective study strategies, which I have also tried and what, which one I stick to. So first of all, if you find people who are at the same energy level and they would like to form a group, study group or you have find or your friend who is like um same level they want to study as well. So like at the same level, you have to be same understanding like you don't like, not, not only one person is doing so much and the person is not even putting any effort when you put it like you want to study together. So you can create study group, study partner. Like if and look if it works for you. Uh What we do is like we have a like core study group since uh year one, which is in my group. And we, what we do is we, we have like the syllabus is like, so huge. So, what we do is we teach each other because it's an oral, it's always been oral exams. So it is good, uh what's called um uh like good technique to already prepare for you, prepare yourself for the oral exam. So, what you're gonna do is you t you divide your syllabus uh like a as I show you cytology exam, cytology, syllabus was so big. So what you're gonna do is you find your people depending on the number of people, you can divide like 103 points between three people, four people, whoever it is, everyone does their research thoroughly. And what, what we use in the beginning was White Board when we came together again to explain each other, the topics because we wanted to cover the syllabus for the exam. So for the revision Revi revision sessions, so we came together after we did all our research, the good thing about this is the other person you rely on them that they will deliver you all the information. This is the important part if you have people who you can rely on do this technique otherwise. So if you can rely on, you divide the syllabus, they deliver the information you deliver, you teach each other basically. So if you can explain something to someone, it means you have understood it very thoroughly, right? OK. So you, you, you, you and you can use any technique to explain each other. In the beginning. We used white words which was time consuming again. So what we said from the third year, fourth year, we said like, OK, you know what, let's make powerpoints. So we gathered lectures, we, we everyone looked at the lecture for any topic. For example, I had one topic. I had to look through the lectures. We decided which books we're going to look for the references. So we don't miss anything because other people are relying on me. So I have to have understanding and they ask me questions at the end and I have to explain it to them. This is a very, very good technique I think for, for us, if you are a person who can work with people together and they like you and uh you're good to in explaining and you, you don't want to study alone. This technique works for like most of the people. And then you have like, and then you also see in the study groups also if you're not dividing the syllabus because you think like, OK, we can't rely on each other. What you can do. You study your topics and you come together like one like once in a while and say, OK, let's let's discuss this topic. So you can have an open discussion as well. Um This is also possible other thing is, if you are studying alone, you can still say, OK, let's go to the library together or something like that. This is also helpful. So sometimes alone, people get unmotivated or uh they are procrastinating a lot. But if you have someone, they can, you can push each other and you can go through this medical journey together. Because believe me, you will, you need people in your life like who is like encouraging and motivational. So this will help you this six year, 6.5 year in this country to survive like with less stress. Um Then another technique is space repetition medicine. In the beginning, first year, second year is so much memorizing is a less concept concept where you make you where you have to like disease. For example, in in clinical clinical year, you have more concept, you have to understand pathology and um which makes sense when you learn studying this, you don't have to memorize that much. But in the beginning, anatomy biology, they are all more memorizing. So it's better to have like some spaced repetition. This you can do, for example, uh using some digital tools like ki or you can even meet with your study partner and say, ask each other question on specific topic. Then another thing is active learning. Again, I told you already you can have discussions with your group. Um And if you are a person who just want to study by themselves, because you think you can't focus in a group or it is too much. Uh it's not productive for you. You can also do self study, you can just do your topic, uh write it down or just explain to the mirror, explain to yourself or you do self testing with different questions. That's also possible. I'm just saying, find out I'm giving you the ideas and I I'm just saying is find out how it works the best, the, the, the dividing the syllabus worked best for us. Like really, it was like, we, I, we had reliable people who made power points and they were like helpful and these power points were at the end for us our exams, you know, so then we have, uh you can also have some white boards or some flow charts, which we can, which will be helping you, right? OK. These are the strategies and you can choose for yourself, but whatever works best for you, then you also some of my small a advisors because you are studying right now, the medical school, um make sure you have your regular study time. Why it is important to have me a regular study time? Because if you don't stick to your routine, you're gonna get lost in the time and then you're gonna get closer to the, or the final exam and then you're going to get panicky like, 00 God II I over uh estimated myself like, uh maybe there's a loss of syllabus to cover. So have regular routine keep checking. Are you in time? Like make sure you write it down in your calendar and say, ok, you know what this time window I am just booking for study. I am not going out or I'm not socializing at that time. So you know, you're covering your Salema even if it is one hour a day, just make sure you have covered something, you know, better than like at the end cramming like I did it, I'm not gonna lie. Did it have been there? So, but it's just sharing the experience. It's not like we sat, we did all night as we just OK, good because I'm studying but it's not sustainable and it's not healthy and for long term memory, it's not like for me, I, we have to keep revising repeating and that's not good, right? OK. I'm just giving you my experience also important is take breaks, take breaks. So for example, a person who is like very like having uh trouble with procrastinating procrastination. So what they can do is like they can set a time up. I'm just gonna study for 25 minutes after that. I can do anything else, you know, so that that's also have some people OK, I'm just gonna try this for 25 minutes and some, most of the time people do get in the mood of studies. So they keep sitting there, they don't believe then because it's always the starting point. If you are, if you have started, you understand the topic and if you like medicine, if you love medicine, you will be continuing studying, you will not give up. Believe me, you will start thinking like, ok, you know what? But it is also depending on the topics as well. If the topics are boring, then you have to force yourself. You have to sit there and then you're like, oh, and then it's good to have someone who's saying, hey na no, we know we are not getting up, we have to finish this topic. OK? And also stay organized in the beginning. I had my notes all over the place. I, as I told you, I had written handwritten notes. I also had some uh type notes. I had some lecture slides. I have this everywhere all over the place. And it was very hard during the exam session that I should have like just had like um one at everywhere, like one resource at uh one like platform where I could find my notes, right? So I'm telling you can use different platform to make your notes, but make sure they are, you know, where they are, they are organized in a file or like wherever you, whatever you're using, right? Which will help you at the end, find your notes easily and you can just sit down and revise for your exam. Then it's very important to have like, do some work out have, you know, this stuff is let's just have a healthy lifestyle, balanced, like lifestyle, which is very hard when it comes to exam seasons, uh to balance your uh healthy lifestyle. So that's why it's important to like regular and consistently study, you know, so it is not, of course, then you have to spend more in the exam season. You have to spend more time during study, but still take few minutes out for workout or something like that. Then do go to your people when you need help if you're stressed or if you don't understand anything or believe me, lots of people will be feeling very similar to you because um medical school does make people feel like, oh, I'm not good enough or something. But believe me, keep going, don't give up, just stay motivated and you can't stay motivated all the time but keep be stay consistent and don't give up. And it's normal to feel demotivated or frustrated and you don't feel like going to exam because you think like I am not prepared and believe in loss of the time, you will not feel prepared. But my advice is to you go to the exam, don't miss the exam because you have studied the knowledge is somewhere here. And sometimes even if you can't say some, some things, but first we'll ask you a question and you will be able to answer because you have this understanding you have this knowledge. So this will be very helpful. Go to the exam, don't miss the exam. And um most important is you are here 6.5 years. Of course, your main focus is studies, but do enjoy the journey as well. Don't stress yourself on small things. Don't, don't make it like harder. It has to, it has to be harder than it has to be, right? So make sure enjoy the journey. And one thing I want to tell you, yes, this, this is it like study strategies curriculum sylla that is from my side. One thing I want to share with you as well is nothing to do with the studies. But in case you get here sick or you need medical health uh help like you um if you have flu, maybe you have caught some uh bacterial infection. So there are, there's a website called Super Do BG or there's an app called Heal. It's like uh both are like have similar. It's the same. It's just one is the app and one is the website I prefer website because it shows me which doctor speaks English. So you are sick, you need an appointment. I will recommend this website. You go there. You have a list of doctors, for example, you need a GP or you need a dermatologist or S and Gyne, you check for that doctor and then you see below, go to when you scroll all the way down, you will see uh if they speak English and if they speak English and you like them, you want to book an appointment, you can book online an appointment and there's address given, then you go there and they most because they speak English, it is very helpful and the appointment you get within like one or two days, of course, it is paid. And most of the countries sometimes when I had to go there, I asked them, you give me a receipt which I sent my uh receipt back home to my insurance. So they, they, they actually reimburse me like they gave me the money back my insurance. So these are the uh stuff on my side. I hope I said everything important. I didn't miss anything if you have any specific question which you think I didn't answer. Let me know and I can go through it.
