disorders (e.g., retinal detachment, glaucoma), ENT issues, respiratory
conditions (e.g., PFT interpretation), gastrointestinal issues (e.g., GERD,
abdominal pain), and musculoskeletal injuries.
• Assessment Style: It features 150 scenario-based, moderate-to-
challenging multiple-choice questions.
• Clinical Application: Questions test interpretation of diagnostic studies
(CBC, Thyroid, PFTs) and management strategies.
• Remediation: If an overall score of less than 80% is achieved, students
may be required to complete remediation modules.
Common Topics and Scenarios:
• Eye Disorders: Identifying symptoms of acute closed-angle glaucoma
(increased intraocular pressure) and retinal detachment.

, • Respiratory: Interpreting PFTs for COPD (forced exhalation
measurements).
• Lab Interpretation: Analyzing CBC differentials for anemia or alcoholism
(e.g., elevated MCV/MCH).
• Procedures: Proper order of abdominal assessment (inspection,
auscultation, percussion, palpation).
• Management: Non-pharmacological management of GERD
