Chapter 30: Senior Year
In my senior year, the average person's impression is the year of graduation.
For ordinary college majors, the senior year is the last year of the undergraduate stage, and the graduate school entrance examination has entered the final sprint, and the search for a job is naturally in dire straits.
The senior year is also an important and special year for clinical students who have a total of five years in college.
After completing the courses of diagnostics, imaging and general surgery in the second semester of the third year, the first semester of the fourth year is basically full of clinical courses, especially internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology and otolaryngology, etc., which are the top priorities of the course and require great effort.
For most clinical students, what is more important is that entering the senior year means entering the preparation stage for graduate school.
In this era, it is no longer enough to graduate from a bachelor's degree in clinical medicine, and basically you can only go to some county-level hospitals, and if the school is worse, it is very difficult to enter a county-level hospital. Postgraduate entrance examination has become a road that clinical students must take, especially for ambitious and ambitious young people, if they want to work in big cities and hospitals, a master's degree can only be said to be a necessary stage, followed by a doctorate for three years!
Picking a good major and finding a good mentor will definitely not put in less effort than in high school, or even more!
Feng Lin is like this, he wants to go back to Kyoto for graduate school, he spends almost every night in the study room, diligently learning English, and firmly laying the foundation of Western medicine. Although there is still one year to go, as a clinical student, the fifth year is an internship, and most of the energy will be divided by then, so the senior year is extremely important for the graduate school entrance examination, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
Ye Lan is also working hard.
In fact, the content of the USMLE exam is not particularly difficult for Chinese students, and the ability of Chinese to cope with the exam is absolutely world-class! The key is that as a foreign student, there is no point in simply passing, and if you want to be accepted by a hospital for residency training, your grades must be particularly excellent. English is the biggest obstacle, the difficulty of professional English is far beyond Ye Lan's imagination, and there are a lot of questions and tactics, every time she comes back from the usmle study group, Ye Lan's face will be a little grim, especially Qian Lele in the same class, the learning progress is much faster than her, which makes her feel more and more inadequate.
The huge pressure makes the girls who have always had excellent grades extremely tired every day.
But seriously speaking, the hardest of the three is undoubtedly the seemingly leisurely Tianlu!
Feng Lin and Ye Lan now have to go to the study room every night, but Tian Lu does the opposite, staying in the dormitory every day, seemingly very leisurely, but only he knows that his contribution will definitely not be less than anyone else!
In the end, he chose to continue with his original plan.
In any case, the importance of the clinical diagnostic support system and the clinical operation support system for a physician trumps all other factors!
With the help of the system's translation function and input function, as long as it is a written exam, it is easy for Tianlu, even if it is USMLE. So after passing the first exam easily, Tian Lu temporarily put it aside and completely immersed himself in the study of the system course.
At least this semester, he doesn't plan to go any further.
In Tian Lu's plan, in addition to ensuring that the school's courses are excellent in reality, before the second semester of the senior year, all the basic medical parts must be mastered, and then the learning progress of the clinical medicine part can be slightly slowed down.
The main thing is to take into account the practical reasons. Since I plan to take the USMLE, it will take some effort in the second semester of my senior year, after all, there are still some differences in the knowledge of the system and reality, and even if all the reference materials and question banks are entered into the system, it will take a lot of time to understand and think about the answering mode of the exam questions and find out your own shortcomings.
Tian Lu plans to take the Step2CK (clinical knowledge) exam before graduating, and then divide half of his energy into the internship in his fifth year.
It is undeniable that many students often cope with the school's internship tasks and focus all their energy on exam preparation in order to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but after consulting Lei Kang and Fang Hua, Tian Lu still rationally chose to take it seriously.
Practical skills are also extremely important for a clinical student.
Not only look at the importance of one-year internship for future work, but also in terms of Step2CS (clinical skills) of the usmle exam, the focus is on hands-on ability, the examination of patients, the physical examination of patients, including the writing of medical records, etc., which cannot be solved simply by reading books, and must be practiced seriously to avoid the occurrence of such a situation as a high eye.
In any case, Tian Lu's current priority is to complete the study of basic medical knowledge. Different from the real course, the content of systematic knowledge has an incomparable attraction for Tian Lu!
In reality, all courses are based on written texts, supplemented by medical experiments. Just like anatomy, due to the extreme scarcity of corpses, students can only use limited resources and limited time to verify the knowledge learned in books as much as possible, and several people must assign a corpse. But in the system, Tian Lu can see all the anatomical structures of the human body very intuitively, and can dissect different corpses countless times!
And the working mechanism of every organ and every system is clearly displayed in front of him!
It's like the working mechanism of the locomotor system, which is only an abstract description in the book, and it is up to students to use their imagination to understand, but in the system, bones, joints, and muscles, the three form an organic whole.
I read it so intuitively once, and I read the book ten times at the top!
In addition, under the simulation function of the system, there is absolutely no animal experimentation!
Physiology, pathophysiology, immunology and pharmacology and other courses all need to be experimented, but in reality, animals such as mice, rabbits, and dogs are used, and Tian Lu is carried out in the system, all of which are human experiments!
Moreover, there is a process in real experiments, such as pharmacology, after injecting a drug, it takes time to wait for the reaction of the experimental subject, sometimes even up to more than an hour, but in the system, as long as Tian Lu chooses the next step, the system will directly present a specific reaction, which can be said to be instantaneous, without even a second of waiting.
This kind of learning efficiency, no matter how top medical schools are, no matter how diligent the students, it is far inferior, not to mention that Tian Lu himself is also extremely diligent!
The total amount of knowledge mastered is increasing rapidly every day.
Modern medicine is becoming more and more specialized and segmented, and an excellent physician or professor, even if he is knowledgeable, is difficult to go beyond his own professional scope, and the so-called general practitioner can only be regarded as a community physician, and it is okay to deal with some common minor diseases, once a slightly more complex case is encountered, it must be handed over to a specialist to be responsible.
The total amount of knowledge in each course of the system is more than the total accumulation of the best modern medical scientists in a certain specialty, and the huge amount of information can make any modern person learn for several years! It is hard to imagine how much time future medical students would spend learning this knowledge without the existence of a resident decision support system.
It was only by slowly understanding this that Tian Lu truly realized the meaning of this magical system to himself, and he didn't dare to waste time more and more, and worked harder than before.
The dull college life, without a trace of waves, quietly flowed into the future in the fulfillment of this day。。。。。。
