Paano Makapasa ng Medical Board Exams Bilang Lifelong Learner?

This week’s episode is designed to equip a diverse cohort of healthcare professionals and aspiring practitioners with the essential strategies and insights for excelling in medical board examinations, and even informed lay individuals interested in understanding the rigorous standards of medical qualification.

Drawing upon evidence-based learning methodologies and a wealth of practical experience, we will discuss the multifaceted aspects of examination preparation. We will elucidate effective study techniques grounded in cognitive science, including spaced repetition, active recall, and the strategic utilization of mnemonics to optimize knowledge retention and retrieval under high-pressure conditions. Participants will gain invaluable insights into time management strategies crucial for navigating the extensive curriculum and the demanding examination format. In addition, we will dissect common examination pitfalls and provide actionable strategies to mitigate these challenges, fostering a confident and strategic approach to test-taking.

Beyond the cognitive domain, this webinar will also address the critical role of psychological preparedness. We will explore evidence-based stress management techniques, including mindfulness and relaxation exercises, to help participants maintain optimal mental acuity and emotional resilience throughout their preparation and during the examination itself. We will also underscore the importance of building a robust support network and fostering a mindset of perseverance and self-efficacy.

Our main speaker this week is Dr. Enrico Paolo C. Banzuela, who is Associate Professor II and Unit Head for Curriculum and Instructions of the Office of Medical Education, San Beda University – College of Medicine. Our reactor is Dr. Manuel S. Vidal, Jr., an MD-PhD holder and is currently an Associate Faculty at the San Beda University – College of Medicine. They will share their personal journeys and provide invaluable firsthand advice, offering practical tips and insider perspectives on navigating the examination process.

Join us this week as we aim to empower you to approach the medical board exams with confidence, competence, and a clear pathway to success by integrating rigorous academic preparation with effective test-taking strategies and robust psychological support.
