Yesterday I said I’m in the opening stages of a few major projects.
I mentioned one of them yesterday, which is a guide for 1st year PA students.
Another thing, after ten years of doing this, that I’m finally beginning to wrap my head around is a full medicine course. I want it to be something you can use for medicine; you can use it for EORs and you can use it for your PANCE.
What I didn’t want was to recreate what other people have done. There are a bunch of great courses out there. For years, I’ve wanted to create one, but I wanted it to stand out. I wanted it to be different.
I think I’m onto a way to do that, a way I can teach you medicine in my style and with all I’ve learned about learning rather than just dumping information on you.
The ideas are only just now coming together, but it’s largely based off of what I did with The Final Step. The way that book is set up has helped so many people pass their exams. I thought to myself, why not use the methods I used when creating that book? Why not look at medicine the way I did when I created The Final Step? Why not teach and review medicine so that you learn and remember it in long-term storage? Not lists and lists to memorize, but to really get it. Really know it, through spaced repetition and simplification of important ideas, and then adding new information to what you’ve learned.
Like I said, I’m in the super early stages of that one. A full course is a big undertaking. I’m just blowing on the embers of an idea for how I’d tackle it.
Email me at bwallace@physicianassistantexamreview.com and let me know if that sounds like something you’d be interested in.
