CD Review Set for PA Students and PA Programs
 | An electronic version of the Fall 2006 Board Review is now
available. This review consists of 31 hours of core medical lectures. Emory
students have found the review and CD set to be very helpful as they prepare
to take the PANCE. Each lecture consists of a split screen format with a window
displaying the lecturers' PowerPoint slides and the other window displaying
video of the lecturer. This four CD-set requires Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 6+ (free at
http://www.microsoft.com) and the latest version of Windows Media Player (free
at http://www.microsoft.com). A high speed
connection (DSL or cable) is NOT required for this CD set. Your computer will
need a sound card and speakers to hear the audio. The CD is not compatible
with Apple/Mac operating systems. A current version of the Internet Explorer
browser is also required, as the CDs will not work with Mozilla Firefox or
Netscape browsers. You must accept ActiveX content when playing the CDs. |
| As a demonstration of the new format utilized for the
Certification / Recertification Review recording, you may view the complete
lecture on "A Review of Hematology", presented by
Allan Platt, PA-C. Mr Platt is a popular lecturer at state and national
conferences. The lecture objectives and test
questions are also
available for examination. A copy of the lecture handout
is also available. To view this demonstration you will need a current (i.e., Version 6
or higher)
version of Internet
Explorer and of Windows Media Player ( Version 10). A high speed connection
(Cable or DSL) is required. Please be patient as the video file buffers
and prepares to play; this may take a minute or two. Please note that this
demonstration utilizes streaming files over the Internet. As bandwidth and
connection speed can affect your reception of this file, we have chosen to
release the final Certification/Recertification set only as a CD set which
will not require an internet connection. If you are prompted by your Browser
that "Active X" content is detected, please "allow blocked content" to view
the demo. |
| The Review consists of lectures to refresh the learner's knowledge on a
wide range of core medical problems and content including reviews of
Dermatology, Pediatrics, Fluid and Electrolytes, GI Disorders, Psychiatry,
ENT, Ophthalmology , Cardiology, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Neurological Disorders,
Orthopedics, Endocrinology, Pulmonary Disorders, Infectious Disease,
Hematology, EKG interpretation, Chest X-ray interpretation, OB-GYN, and other
topics. |
| The Review Conference is designed based upon the list of topics
potentially on the PANCE / PANRE as provided by the NCCPA, and by review of
the PANCE / PANRE board exam matrix of question distribution. Obviously, the
exact content of the PANCE and PANRE exams is confidential and not known to
the developers of the Review Conference, and no suggestion is made that the
Review Conference or practice exam questions represent the level of complexity
or distribution of topics on the actual examinations. |
| As a bonus, the CD set this year includes Mr Platt's presentation on the
use of PDA devices in medicine, Put a Palm in your Practice
or PDAs for PAs. This lecture is for those who approach new technology with fear and trembling,
and will help you see how PDAs can help bring the latest evidence based information to your
fingertips at the bedside. PDAs can help reduce medication errors, organize
your schedule, help your differential diagnosis and even study for the boards.
