Myanmar MMLE study plan

Myanmar MMLE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 8 hours per week

Week 1

General Medicine & Public Health and Preventive Medicine

  • Map the General Medicine syllabus into a one-page checklist of high-yield presentations (acute febrile illness, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, renal, neurology) and mark confidence levels for each

  • Build a spaced-repetition deck of at least 150 items covering first-line management of common adult presentations seen in Myanmar practice

  • Outline the Public Health syllabus by sub-area (epidemiology, biostatistics, health systems, communicable disease control, environmental and occupational health) and list the formulas to memorise

  • Solve 40 mixed General Medicine and Public Health single-best-answer questions under timed conditions and log every error with its cause

Your checkpoint

One-page syllabus checklist for Domains 1 and 5 plus an error log with at least 40 entries classified by cause

Week 2

General Medicine & Public Health and Preventive Medicine

  • Review the full General Medicine checklist and rewrite each weak topic as a one-line clinical action statement

  • Work through 60 epidemiological calculations (incidence, prevalence, relative risk, attributable risk, sensitivity and specificity, predictive values) without notes

  • Summarise national priority programmes (tuberculosis, malaria, dengue, HIV, immunisation, maternal and child health) into a single comparison table of case definition, first-line response, and notification requirement

  • Complete one 60-question timed block split evenly between General Medicine and Public Health and review each wrong answer against a reference text

Your checkpoint

Completed comparison table of priority public health programmes plus a scored 60-question timed block with written review notes

Week 3

General Medicine & Surgery

  • Revise General Medicine weak areas identified in weeks 1 and 2 and convert them into 20 case-based flashcards

  • Build a Surgery checklist covering general surgery, trauma and resuscitation, orthopaedics, urology, and burns

  • Draft a decision algorithm for the acute abdomen and for shock resuscitation, including fluid, antibiotic, and referral thresholds

  • Practise interpreting 30 laboratory and imaging descriptions in text form (full blood count, electrolytes, urinalysis, plain radiograph findings) and state the next step for each

Your checkpoint

Two written clinical algorithms (acute abdomen, shock resuscitation) plus 30 completed text-based investigation interpretation exercises

Week 4

Surgery & Obstetrics and Gynaecology

  • Memorise the Surgery checklist and recite the indications, contraindications, and complications of the ten most commonly tested operations

  • Build an Obstetrics and Gynaecology checklist covering antenatal care, labour and delivery, obstetric emergencies, gynaecological infections, and contraception

  • Write management pathways for postpartum haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, and obstructed labour with referral triggers

  • Complete a 100-question mixed Surgery and Obstetrics and Gynaecology timed test and classify every error as knowledge, reasoning, or reading fault

Your checkpoint

Three written obstetric emergency pathways plus a scored 100-question test with an error classification table

Week 5

Obstetrics and Gynaecology & Paediatrics

  • Revise weak Surgery topics from week 4 and reduce the error log by at least half

  • Build a Paediatrics checklist covering neonatal care, growth and development, immunisation, diarrhoeal disease, acute respiratory infection, and malnutrition

  • Write weight-based dosing and fluid calculation drills for children, including oral rehydration and maintenance fluids

  • Summarise integrated management of childhood illness danger signs into a one-page triage sheet

Your checkpoint

One-page paediatric danger-sign triage sheet plus a completed set of 25 weight-based dosing and fluid calculations with workings

Week 6

Paediatrics & Public Health and Preventive Medicine

  • Revise the full Paediatrics checklist and convert each weak area into a short case vignette with a single best answer

  • Apply biostatistics to study design questions by working through 40 items on bias, confounding, sampling, and screening

  • Draft answers to 10 short-essay public health prompts on outbreak investigation, health education, and health service management

  • Complete a 100-question mixed Paediatrics and Public Health timed test and log errors by domain

Your checkpoint

Ten written short-essay answers plus a scored 100-question test with a per-domain error breakdown

Week 7

General Medicine & Surgery & Obstetrics and Gynaecology & Paediatrics & Public Health and Preventive Medicine

  • Run two full-length mixed mock examinations under strict timing and record the score for each domain

  • Re-audit the error log across all five domains and rank the ten weakest topics for final revision

  • Rewrite each of the ten weakest topics into a one-page summary sheet in your own words

  • Rehearse rapid recall of emergency protocols (resuscitation, obstetric haemorrhage, paediatric dehydration, notifiable disease response) in three timed five-minute sessions

Your checkpoint

Two scored full-length mock examinations plus ten one-page revision summaries of the weakest topics

Week 8

General Medicine & Surgery & Obstetrics and Gynaecology & Paediatrics & Public Health and Preventive Medicine

  • Review only the ten revision summaries and the error log, avoiding new material

  • Sit one final full-length mock examination and confirm each domain score is at or above your target

  • Practise exam-day logistics: question pacing, flagging strategy, and a plan for guessing on unknown items

  • Consolidate a single pre-exam sheet of formulas, drug doses, and referral thresholds for last-day reading

Your checkpoint

Final mock examination score report with a per-domain comparison against week 7, plus a completed one-page pre-exam sheet

Milestones

Week 2: Syllabus checklists for General Medicine and Public Health are complete, and a 60-question timed block is scored with every error reviewed in writing

Week 4: Surgery and Obstetrics and Gynaecology checklists are complete, three obstetric emergency pathways are written, and a 100-question mixed test is scored with errors classified

Week 6: All five domain checklists are complete, and both the Paediatrics and Public Health error counts are lower than in the week 3 to 4 tests

Week 8: Two or more full-length mocks are scored, every domain meets the target band, and the error log shows no repeated error type from weeks 1 to 4
