Yesterday we had our first renal (aka nephrology) test. And, in very kind words, this test was HARD! I thought that I had understood the material as I studied, but when the test questions take a clinical scenario and then we have to apply our knowledge, it made it very difficult for me to reason through things.
I understand that we will have to use our medical knowledge when taking care of patients in the future. But it is very hard to reason through clinical scenarios and apply our knowledge on paper because I haven't really "worked" with the information. Yes, I can sit there memorize/understand the information, talk through the information with friends, etc. but I think that the only way to really learn renal is to use it; and use it on a regular basis. Hence, I struggle with the application of renal.
One good thing though, I did get to check one more thing off my list of potential careers: nephrology.
