Love your notes! Are you planning on completing the internal med during the following weeks? Just asking because I’m planning which resources to use for the internal med exam 🙂
Great work, really appreciate it!
No, I won’t be able to finish them that soon. I’ll try to do surgery now as that’s my next exam, and then I’ll do internal med throughout the year until my exam in April
Thank you always for your great and life saving notes!!
where can we find the topic list ?
As always you can find the topic list on the course finder on the aok.pte.hu webpage
Thanks for your work,always!
