Mongolia Feldsher Licensing Exam study plan
Mongolia Feldsher Licensing Exam · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Complete 30 internal-medicine case vignettes and classify each diagnosis by organ system.
Your checkpoint
A one-page diagnostic algorithm for the three most common adult presentations (chest pain, dyspnea, hypertension) plus a scored 30-vignette set.
Internal Medicine and Adult Primary Care & Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, including tuberculosis and notifiable disease reporting
Outline the diagnostic criteria, treatment regimens, and follow-up schedule for pulmonary tuberculosis under the national program.
Describe the notifiable disease reporting chain from soum feldsher to the district and national level, naming which diseases require immediate notification.
Explain the management of common infectious presentations: acute respiratory infection, diarrheal disease, brucellosis, and viral hepatitis.
Compare antibiotic choices for community-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and skin infection and justify each choice.
Your checkpoint
A completed notifiable-disease reporting flowchart for your own soum plus a 25-question infectious-disease and epidemiology quiz with answers.
Emergency Care and Trauma (first aid, resuscitation, triage)
Perform and document a primary survey (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) on paper-based scenarios within three minutes each.
Sequence the steps of adult and pediatric basic life support, including compression depth, rate, and ventilation ratio, without reference material.
Apply a triage system to 15 mixed trauma and medical emergency scenarios and justify each priority assignment.
Demonstrate the correct management sequence for hemorrhage control, burns, fractures, and head injury in a written scenario.
Your checkpoint
A triage log of 15 solved emergency scenarios with assigned priority levels and a written primary-survey checklist you can use in practice.
Pediatrics and Child Health, including immunization & Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Maternal Health
Construct the national immunization schedule by age and identify the contraindications and cold-chain requirements for each vaccine.
Assess growth and development milestones at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months and flag when referral is required.
Manage the common pediatric presentations: acute respiratory infection, diarrhea with dehydration, fever, and malnutrition, using integrated management principles.
Describe the stages of labor, the signs of obstructed labor, and the immediate postpartum and newborn care steps including hemorrhage prevention.
Your checkpoint
A wall-chart style immunization schedule with contraindications plus a 20-question pediatrics and maternal health quiz scoring at least 80 percent.
Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Maternal Health & Surgery, Wound Care, and Minor Procedures
Explain antenatal visit content, danger signs in pregnancy, and the referral criteria for pre-eclampsia and antepartum hemorrhage.
Perform the steps of wound assessment, cleansing, debridement of minor wounds, and selection of closure method or dressing.
Outline sterile technique, local anesthesia dosing, and aftercare for incision and drainage of an abscess and for suturing a simple laceration.
Identify which surgical presentations must be referred immediately rather than managed in the soum.
Your checkpoint
A written wound-care protocol covering assessment, cleansing, closure, dressing, and referral triggers, plus a suturing step-by-step checklist.
Public Health, Health Promotion, and Family Medicine in the soum/primary care setting & Practical Clinical Skills and Infection Control
Design a health-promotion activity for a soum population addressing one priority risk factor such as tobacco, alcohol, hypertension, or maternal nutrition.
Apply infection-control precautions: hand hygiene moments, personal protective equipment sequence, and safe sharps and waste handling.
Explain sterilization and disinfection methods appropriate to a small primary care facility and how to verify them.
Describe the family medicine approach to home visits, chronic disease follow-up, and referral coordination in a rural setting.
Your checkpoint
A one-page infection-control and sharps-handling standard operating procedure for your facility plus a health-promotion activity plan.
Professional Ethics, Legislation, and Medical Documentation & Basic and Clinical Sciences Foundation (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology) & Internal Medicine and Adult Primary Care & Emergency Care and Trauma (first aid, resuscitation, triage)
Write complete, legally defensible medical records for three sample encounters, including informed consent and confidentiality notes.
State the feldsher's legal scope of practice, referral obligations, and documentation requirements under Mongolian health legislation.
Complete two full timed mock exams covering all ten domains and review every incorrect item.
Consolidate weak areas from the error logs of weeks 1 to 7 into a final one-page revision sheet.
Your checkpoint
Two scored full-length mock exams (target 75 percent or higher) plus a final one-page revision sheet and three compliant sample records.
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on a 30-question basic and clinical sciences self-test and show a completed error log.
Week 4: Complete 15 emergency scenarios with correct triage priority and recite adult and pediatric basic life support sequences without notes.
Week 6: Score at least 80 percent on combined pediatrics, maternal health, and wound-care quizzes and produce both the immunization chart and wound protocol.
Week 8: Score 75 percent or higher on two full-length timed mock exams and submit the final revision sheet and three compliant sample medical records.
