TEP Pediatria study plan

TEP Pediatria · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Pediatría general y atención primaria & Crecimiento, desarrollo y nutrición

  • Map every topic in Pediatría general y atención primaria and Crecimiento, desarrollo y nutrición onto a one-page checklist, marking each as confident, shaky, or unknown

  • Explain aloud the normal growth curves (weight, length, head circumference) and the red flags that trigger referral

  • Solve 40 mixed primary-care vignettes and write the reasoning for each wrong answer in one sentence

  • Draft a personal screening schedule covering well-child visits, vision/hearing, and developmental surveillance by age

Your checkpoint

A completed two-domain topic checklist with a written error log of at least 30 corrected items

Week 2

Pediatría general y atención primaria & Enfermedades infecciosas y vacunación

  • Consolidate the primary-care approach to common acute complaints (fever, cough, rash, vomiting) into decision algorithms

  • Build a vaccination calendar table by age with contraindications and catch-up rules

  • Practice 30 infectious-disease vignettes emphasizing when to treat, when to observe, and when to refer

  • Summarize isolation and notification requirements for the classic childhood exanthems

Your checkpoint

A one-page vaccination and exanthem quick-reference sheet plus 30 answered vignettes with rationales

Week 3

Enfermedades infecciosas y vacunación & Neumología y alergia pediátrica

  • Differentiate bacterial, viral, and atypical pneumonia presentations and match each to first-line management

  • Construct an asthma severity and stepwise controller plan for children by age group

  • Interpret spirometry patterns and allergy test results in pediatric cases

  • Answer 40 respiratory and allergy questions and tag each miss by mechanism (obstruction, infection, atopy)

Your checkpoint

An asthma stepwise therapy flowchart and a 40-question respiratory error analysis

Week 4

Neonatología & Urgencias, cuidados críticos y traumatología

  • Outline neonatal resuscitation sequence and the first-hour management of the preterm infant

  • Classify neonatal jaundice by timing and risk factors and state phototherapy thresholds conceptually

  • Practice structured ABCDE approach to the critically ill child and pediatric trauma priorities

  • Drill dosing and fluid calculations for resuscitation and maintenance in children

Your checkpoint

A neonatal and emergency algorithm card set with worked weight-based dosing examples

Week 5

Cardiología pediátrica & Nefrología y urología pediátrica

  • Distinguish innocent from pathologic murmurs using timing, location, and associated findings

  • Explain cyanotic versus acyanotic congenital heart lesions and their expected physiology

  • Work through urinary tract infection, vesicoureteral reflux, and nephrotic/nephritic syndrome presentations

  • Interpret basic urinalysis and electrolyte patterns in pediatric renal cases

Your checkpoint

A murmur decision table and a renal case workbook of 25 solved vignettes

Week 6

Gastroenterología y hepatología pediátrica & Endocrinología y metabolismo

  • Differentiate acute gastroenteritis, malabsorption, and inflammatory bowel presentations in children

  • Review neonatal cholestasis and hepatitis workup steps

  • Classify short stature, precocious puberty, and thyroid disorders by initial lab pattern

  • Approach hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis in children with a stepwise plan

Your checkpoint

A comparative table of gastrointestinal and endocrine differentials with first-line tests for each

Week 7

Neurología y psiquiatría infantil & Hematología y oncología pediátrica

  • Distinguish febrile seizure, epilepsy syndromes, and meningitis presentations by age and red flags

  • Screen for developmental and psychiatric concerns (autism, ADHD, depression) using validated frameworks

  • Classify childhood anemias by red cell indices and identify common oncologic red flags

  • Interpret a complete blood count and coagulation panel in pediatric scenarios

Your checkpoint

A neurology and hematology-oncology red-flag sheet with 20 interpreted lab cases

Week 8

Pediatría general y atención primaria & Neonatología & Crecimiento, desarrollo y nutrición & Enfermedades infecciosas y vacunación & Neumología y alergia pediátrica & Cardiología pediátrica & Gastroenterología y hepatología pediátrica & Nefrología y urología pediátrica & Neurología y psiquiatría infantil & Endocrinología y metabolismo & Hematología y oncología pediátrica & Urgencias, cuidados críticos y traumatología

  • Complete two full timed mock exams under test conditions and score by domain

  • Re-review every missed item from weeks 1 to 7 and rewrite each as a one-line rule

  • Revisit the weakest three domains identified by mock-exam scores

  • Build a final one-page summary of high-yield facts per domain

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with a domain-by-domain performance report and a final high-yield summary sheet

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a 40-question set drawn from domains 1, 3, and 4, and confirm the topic checklist has no unmarked items

Week 4: Score at least 65% on a mixed set covering domains 2, 5, and 12, and correctly explain neonatal jaundice management and pediatric resuscitation sequence without notes

Week 6: Score at least 70% on a 50-question mixed set across domains 6, 7, 8, and 10, with all error-log entries rewritten as rules

Week 8: Achieve at least 75% on both timed mock exams with no single domain below 60%, and complete the final high-yield summary sheet
