Iraqi Board Family Medicine study plan

Build a one-page decision map for the top 10 presentations in adult primary care (chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, edema, dizziness, abdominal pain, headache, weight change, polyuria) linking each to a first-line workup

List the diagnostic thresholds and initial management for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypothyroidism, and recite them from memory by week's end

Explain the stepwise approach to anemia and to chronic kidney disease staging using only laboratory values you can interpret without reference

Draft 15 original single-best-answer items on cardiology and endocrinology topics and justify why each distractor is wrong

Compare adult and pediatric presentations of asthma, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection and state where management diverges

Sequence the immunization schedule decisions a family physician makes at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 18 months and at school entry

Interpret growth chart patterns (falling centiles, weight-for-length, head circumference) and state the next step for each pattern

Outline assessment of a febrile infant by age band and the reasoning behind each threshold

Construct an antenatal care schedule from booking to term, naming the tests done at each visit and the gestational windows that matter

Distinguish the danger signs of pregnancy by trimester and state the immediate action for each

Describe contraceptive options by effectiveness, contraindications, and non-contraceptive benefits, and match three patient profiles to suitable methods

Chart normal and abnormal pediatric development at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months and identify red flags requiring referral

Classify acute limb and joint presentations by mechanism and decide which need imaging, immobilization, or urgent referral

Apply the Ottawa rules and similar clinical decision tools from memory to three written case vignettes

Order the first 10 minutes of management for anaphylaxis, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and severe asthma exacerbation

Differentiate common skin and soft tissue infections and state when incision and drainage is required

Apply screening tools for depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment and state the score thresholds that trigger action

Outline a safe prescribing plan for a depressed older adult accounting for comorbidity and drug interactions

Distinguish delirium from dementia and list the first-line non-drug measures for each

Describe pain assessment and opioid or adjuvant selection in palliative care, including conversations about goals of care

Calculate and interpret incidence, prevalence, relative risk, odds ratio, absolute risk reduction, number needed to treat, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values from supplied 2x2 tables

Select the correct screening test characteristics for a given population and explain why prevalence changes predictive value

Match the three levels of prevention to ten common conditions seen in family practice

Identify the design, bias, and confounding issues in four short study abstracts

Define the core principles of family medicine and apply them to three continuity-of-care scenarios

Resolve four ethics vignettes on consent, confidentiality, capacity, and resource allocation using a stated framework

Appraise one primary study using a structured critical appraisal checklist and state whether you would change practice

Explain how to frame a searchable clinical question and how to grade the strength of a recommendation

Complete two full-length timed mock examinations under exam conditions and record the score per domain

Re-study only the three weakest domains identified by the mock results

Recite the high-yield thresholds, schedules, and danger signs collected across weeks 1 to 7 without notes

Consolidate all weekly deliverables into a single indexed revision file with page tabs by domain
