Draft a personal drug table for the 25 agents most used in therapy wards, with indication, starting dose, key contraindication, and monitoring parameter

Interpret 15 sets of laboratory and ECG findings (anemia panels, liver enzymes, electrolytes, acid-base, rhythm strips) and state the leading diagnosis and immediate action for each

Explain the management pathway for the four highest-yield emergencies inside internal medicine: hyperkalemia, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, acute pulmonary edema, and status epilepticus

Compare and contrast the diagnostic approach to chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope, writing three short algorithms from memory

Complete 40 additional mixed internal medicine vignettes and re-test every item missed in week 1

Map the acute abdomen: list the differential, first-line imaging, and operative indication for appendicitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, perforated ulcer, and bowel obstruction

Describe the assessment and initial management of trauma patients using the primary survey sequence, and state when to order FAST, CT, or plain radiography

Outline perioperative risk assessment, antibiotic prophylaxis timing, and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for elective general surgery

Summarize the presentation and referral pathway for the common surgical specialty problems: urolithiasis, acute scrotum, thyroid nodule, hernia, and breast mass

Answer 30 surgical vignettes, prioritizing the question of whether and when to operate

Review obstetric care by trimester: confirm the schedule of antenatal visits, screening tests, and supplementation recommended in Kazakhstan, and state the red flags for each trimester

Explain the diagnosis and stepwise management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP) including magnesium sulfate dosing and monitoring

Complete 30 combined surgery and obstetrics-gynecology vignettes under timed conditions

Apply neonatal resuscitation steps in sequence and state the indications, dose, and route for surfactant, antibiotics, and glucose in the newborn

Explain the assessment and management of the leading pediatric emergencies: bronchiolitis, croup, acute gastroenteritis with dehydration, febrile seizures, and severe asthma

Build a growth and development reference card covering the milestones and the thresholds that require referral

Run through the ABCDE approach to the deteriorating adult and child, and state when to intubate, when to start vasopressors, and how to calculate fluid boluses by weight

Answer 30 combined pediatric and emergency vignettes, choosing the next action rather than the diagnosis

Summarize the epidemiology, isolation requirements, and notification rules for the infections most tested in Kazakhstan: tuberculosis, viral hepatitis B and C, HIV, measles, meningococcal infection, and acute intestinal infections

Explain antimicrobial stewardship principles and apply them to three scenarios where the correct answer is to narrow, stop, or withhold antibiotics

Outline the structure of the Kazakhstani health system, the types of medical examination and certification, and the legal duties of a physician regarding informed consent, medical secrecy, and adverse event reporting

Explain the principles of rational pharmacotherapy: choosing by indication, adjusting for renal and hepatic function, pregnancy and lactation, and recognizing the major drug interactions

Answer 35 vignettes across infectious disease, public health, and pharmacology, and record the source rule behind each answer

Interpret 20 imaging descriptions (chest radiograph, abdominal ultrasound, CT head, CT abdomen) and state the finding, the likely diagnosis, and the next step

Explain the interpretation and limitations of the core laboratory panels: complete blood count, coagulation, liver and kidney function, urinalysis, and blood gas

Demonstrate the communication skills tested in the exam: breaking bad news, obtaining informed consent, disclosing an error, and handling a conflict with a colleague or family, using a structured framework for each

Identify the ethical and deontological rules that govern confidentiality, end-of-life decisions, and relationships with industry

Answer 30 mixed imaging, laboratory, and communication vignettes

Complete two full-length timed mock examinations under exam conditions and score them by domain

Re-study only the domains where the mock score fell below 70 percent, using the error logs from weeks 1 to 7

Re-test every question missed in the entire plan and confirm that at least 80 percent are now answered correctly with a stated reason

Consolidate the personal drug table and the emergency dosing card into a final one-page revision sheet
