Quizlet

Sharing is caring, right? Well, I'm here to share one of my favorite study tools -- digital flashcards on Quizlet. During PA school, this has been one of my many study tactics. It's an easy way to study on-the-go, and I've really enjoyed the "Match" game as well. Competing with my fellow students kept me engaged and trying to beat their times! 


Clinical Medicine Review Sets

Here are the review sets, with mostly information for the clinical medicine portion of my "Big Three" courses. They are broken down into my specific testing units, so occasionally you'll see a part one and part two section for a single body system. These sets do include some diagnostic and pharmacology information, but again, are mostly focused on clinical medicine. Not every section is listed here just yet, so please know it's a work in progress!


Pharmacology Sets

I made these sets with the intention of playing the "Match" game with them, so you'll probably find them most useful when used under that context, rather than as regular flashcards. Again, it's totally fun to play this with people you know and try to beat each other's times!



*I feel it's smart to add a little caveat here. I am a student and not an expert, and I can not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information in these Quizlet sets. I have done my very best to create accurate flashcards, but I'm only human and can make mistakes! If you do see a mistake, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Distance Year 1: My daily routine

Over the summer, I wrote about my daily routine . Remember, at that time I was living in a tiny studio apartment and doing school full-time on campus. As expected, the transition to life as a part-time student, part-time dietitian has been challenging. I'll say this upfront. I knew PA school, even in a part-time program, was going to be difficult. But this has, well, exceeded those expectations. When people tell you that you'll be studying basically all the time, they weren't kidding. But I'll let my daily routine help you see that! Work Day Schedule I work three days a week (generally W-F), and I have quickly realized that I can't slack off on these days. If I do, I definitely get behind! 5:15 - Alarm goes off. My small dog Milo somehow takes up the whole bed but I try to sneak out of bed without disturbing him too much. He's lazy so he'll sleep most of the morning. 5:30-6:30 - Watch a lecture while sipping on my coffee and eating a simple...

My favorite books about medicine

I am a medicine junkie. Medical shows (House, Grey's Anatomy), documentaries (Diagnosis), and books … I love it all! Even though summer is coming to an end (and we're about to kiss our free time good-bye!), I wanted to share a list of my favorite books about medicine. Side note: Even though we don't have a lot of free time, I have found that reading a little bit for fun before bed helps me wind down to go to sleep. Way better than staring at my phone like I used to do! Anyway, these books are in no particular order (because ranking them was just too dang hard!). Also, I'm pretty sure that all of these books are $15 or less, so it won't break the bank for us poor college kids to read a few. Every Patient Tells a Story This book was actually recommended to me by PA students when I was interviewing at the school I am currently attending! Apparently it was strongly encouraged to read by one of the professors, and it sounded amazing. Written by Dr. Lisa Sand...

Resiliency: PA School During a Pandemic

I saw this article on Facebook and it really hit home for me: "Your 'Surge Capacity' is Depleted -- It's Why You Feel Awful." I strongly encourage you to read the whole article yourself, but a few things stuck out to me that I feel compelled to share.  First, what's surge capacity? It's your adaptive abilities for dealing with acute stress. The problem with a pandemic is that it isn't really acute in the same way that a massive tornado or other disaster might be. We're in this for the long haul, and if you're like me, those adaptive abilities have worn thin.  For me, this has looked like feelings of helplessness and exhaustion. I've spent a lot more time on my couch watching bad reality TV than I'd like to admit. But with school starting in up in less than a week, that really isn't going to fly. So how does a student (in an intensive graduate program) keep moving forward? "Both-And" Thinking One of my favorite lessons fro...
