Year 2 - Respiratory

Resource 1: Pathoma

Just spam all of Ch. 9.

Resource 2: Sketchy Micro

There will be a lot of review from MID, so brush up on any specific microorganisms if need be. Pathoma will also cover some HY bugs.

Resource 3: First Aid 2022

For physiology review, reference 688-695.

For path, reference pg. 696-710.

Friendly Reminder

The last block usually includes lectures from clinicians to synthesize what you know about the pathology to real-life scenarios. These resources are not to be regarded as the end-all, be-all. Instead use them to supplement your knowledge base and start to think like a "real" doctor (whatever that means).

That said, you can definitely get away with just using these resources and watching the CISes, as I did.

Resource 1: Sketchy Pharm

Under the SMOOTH MUSCLE unit and the ALLERGY & PULMONARY subunit, watch: "Antihistamines" and "Asthma Therapy" to cover Pharmacotherapy of Asthma and COPD and Drugs for Rhinitis and Allergies.

Under the GI/ENDOCRINE unit and the THYROID, PARATHYROID, ADRENAL subunit, watch: "Glucocorticoids" but it will go over more than needed for asthma/COPD treatment.

For the antimicrobials, watch the respective videos (essentially most of them) under the ANTIMICROBIALS unit. These will cover Drugs for Bacterial, Viral, and Opportunistic Respiratory Infections; Tuberculosis and Antimycobacterial Drugs; Pharmacologic Agents for HIV/AIDS.

Resource 2: First Aid 2022

For resp pharm, reference pg. 710-712.

For antimicrobials, reference pg. 184-200.
