1. CDM Case Tips:
-If they say you can pick 4/10, it does
not mean 4 correct answers!
Sometimes only 1 correct!
-Better to pick LESS than more (or
else the whole thing is wrong if you
pick the wrong one)
-If it says "you may list up to 3
responses" DOES NOT MEAN LIST 3
MINIMUM
-Use drug names (see ID)
-No intervention IS the answer somtimes
-Do not put 2 answers in 1 box "Ex:
Gonor- rhea/Chlamy"
-Do not use slashes! Ex: "Fundoscopic
evalu- ation" NOT "optic
eval/fundoscopic eval"
-Say drug ROUTES like PO
-NOTE: If you put lifestyle
modifications w/ improved diet and
exercise don't expand too much if
short answer or no credit
*if there is more space say them separately:
-Lifestyle modification with improved diet
-Lifestyle modification w/ increased
exer- cise
-Diabetes EDUCATION
-Smoking cessation
-Never forget PREGNANCY testing
-Always EDUCATE if it's a new dx for the pt

-Say Ibuprofen OR Indomethacin (DO
NOT SAY NSAIDS)
-SAY ROUTE
-Can never pick last choice (no
addition- al changes) if you end up
picking another choice! It can only
be picked alone
-THIS TEST WANTS YOU TO THINK LIKE A PCP
so don't always refer! A fm doc can
manage more than you think
-COMBANK CDM: If they say max 9 it
means there is a min of 9 correct (but
only like 5 may be required and 4
neutral)
--If they ask for 10 short answers max
it means they WANT 10 short answers
-If pt presents to ED and short answer
says NBS, consider if ADMISSION TO
HOSPITAL is needed
