Mongolia Feldsher Licensing Exam study plan

Mongolia Feldsher Licensing Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Basic and Clinical Sciences Foundation (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology)

  • Draw and label the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems from memory, marking the structures most often tested in feldsher practice.

  • Explain the mechanism of action, main adverse effects, and contraindications of the 20 drugs most commonly prescribed in Mongolian primary care, including antibiotics, antihypertensives, and bronchodilators.

  • Distinguish the core pathological processes (inflammation, ischemia, infection, neoplasia) and match each to its typical clinical signs and basic laboratory findings.

  • Solve 40 mixed basic-science questions and write a one-line reason for each wrong answer.

Your checkpoint

A personal drug card set covering 20 essential medicines plus a scored 40-question basic-science self-test with error log.

Week 2

Basic and Clinical Sciences Foundation (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology) & Internal Medicine and Adult Primary Care

  • Interpret common electrolyte, glucose, renal function, and complete blood count results against normal ranges.

  • Apply a structured approach to chest pain, dyspnea, and hypertension in an adult, listing the first-line investigations and initial treatment for each.

  • Differentiate the presentations of type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and peptic ulcer disease and state the standard management steps.

  • 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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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.
