AIL DILI B1 study plan

AIL DILI B1 · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Leucemie

Define the diagnostic criteria and classification schemes for acute and chronic leukemias from memory
Map the normal hematopoietic lineage and mark where each leukemia subtype arises
List the immunophenotypic markers used to distinguish myeloid from lymphoid blasts
Explain the difference between leukemia and lymphoma using three discriminating features

A one-page lineage diagram annotated with subtype names, key markers, and diagnostic thresholds, self-quizzed to 90% recall

Week 2

Describe the cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities that define prognostic groups in acute leukemia
Outline first-line treatment strategies for AML and ALL and justify each choice
Identify oncologic emergencies in leukemia and state the immediate management for each
Interpret a complete blood count and peripheral smear pattern for each major leukemia subtype

A 10-question self-written case set (with answer key) covering diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of leukemia, scored at 80% or better

Week 3

Classify lymphomas into Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin categories and list the most common subtypes by frequency
Describe the Ann Arbor staging system and apply it to three written case vignettes
Explain the role of immunophenotyping and cytogenetics in lymphoma diagnosis
Summarize standard treatment approaches for indolent versus aggressive lymphoma

A completed staging worksheet for three written vignettes with correct stage, subtype, and treatment rationale

Week 4

Compare and contrast leukemia and lymphoma presentations using a structured differential
Solve 30 mixed leukemia-lymphoma practice questions under timed conditions
Identify and correct your three weakest sub-topics from the practice set
Recite key diagnostic criteria for the five highest-yield entities across both domains

A timed 30-question mixed quiz scored at 75% or higher with a written error-analysis log

Week 5

State the diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma, including the CRAB features and myeloma-defining events
Differentiate myeloma from MGUS and smoldering myeloma using explicit thresholds
Describe the role of serum protein electrophoresis, immunofixation, and free light chain assays
Outline first-line treatment regimens and the role of autologous stem cell transplant

A comparison table of MGUS, smoldering myeloma, and active myeloma with numeric thresholds, recalled from memory

Week 6

Explain the pathophysiology and management of myeloma complications including renal failure, hypercalcemia, and bone disease
List common treatment-related toxicities and their monitoring requirements
Describe prognosis stratification and response criteria in myeloma
Interpret a written lab panel to classify a patient as MGUS, smoldering, or active myeloma

Five written lab-panel vignettes correctly classified with justified reasoning, scored at 80% or better

Week 7

Build an integrated differential for a patient presenting with anemia, bone pain, or lymphadenopathy across all three domains
Complete 40 mixed-domain practice questions under exam timing
Reconcile every missed question against a primary reference and record the corrected fact
Rank your remaining weak areas and allocate review time proportionally

A 40-question timed mixed mock scored at 75% or higher with a completed error log

Week 8

Two full-length practice exams completed with scores recorded and a final one-page summary sheet per domain

Week 4: Score 75% or higher on the timed 30-question leukemia-lymphoma quiz and submit the error-analysis log

Week 6: Correctly classify at least 4 of 5 myeloma lab-panel vignettes with justified reasoning

Week 7: Score 75% or higher on the 40-question mixed-domain mock with all misses reconciled

Week 8: Complete two full-length practice exams and produce three domain summary sheets
