Mongolia Physician Licensing Exam study plan

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

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Internal Medicine

  • Build a one-page diagnostic algorithm sheet for the six highest-yield internal medicine presentations (chest pain, dyspnea, fever of unknown origin, acute abdominal pain, altered consciousness, edema) and recite each algorithm aloud from memory by week's end.

  • Work through 120 internal medicine multiple-choice items covering cardiology and pulmonology, and log every wrong answer with the underlying reasoning error rather than just the correct option.

  • Create a spaced-repetition deck of 150 internal medicine facts (drug of choice, classic lab pattern, first-line test) and review it on five separate days.

  • Draft a personal formula sheet for internal medicine calculations (anion gap, corrected sodium, creatinine clearance, CURB-65, Wells score) and verify each formula against a standard textbook.

Your checkpoint

A dated error log of 120 cardiology/pulmonology items with a written one-line reason for each miss, plus a 150-card deck created and reviewed on at least five days.

Week 2

Internal Medicine

  • Complete 120 internal medicine items in endocrinology, nephrology, gastroenterology, and hematology, and re-test every item missed in week 1 to confirm retention above 80%.

  • Explain aloud, in under three minutes each, the initial workup and immediate management of diabetic ketoacidosis, acute kidney injury, upper GI bleeding, and severe anemia.

  • Summarize in writing the five most common internal medicine emergencies where the first 30 minutes change outcome, and state the first three actions for each.

  • Review the week 1 spaced-repetition deck daily and retire cards answered correctly three times in a row.

Your checkpoint

A two-page internal medicine emergency action card (five conditions, three first actions each) written from memory, plus a week-1 retest score of at least 80%.

Week 3

Surgery

  • Map the surgical workup of acute abdomen by quadrant, listing the first-line imaging study and the operative indication for each of the eight most common causes.

  • Complete 90 surgery items covering trauma, wound care, hernia, biliary disease, and appendicitis, and classify each error as knowledge gap, misread stem, or reasoning slip.

  • Recite the ATLS-style primary survey sequence and the immediate management of hemorrhagic shock, tension pneumothorax, and cardiac tamponade without notes.

  • Outline preoperative risk assessment (ASA class, cardiac risk indices, anticoagulation bridging) in a one-page summary.

Your checkpoint

A completed acute abdomen decision table (eight causes, imaging, operative indication) plus a 90-item surgery error log with error-type classification.

Week 4

Obstetrics and Gynecology & Pediatrics

  • Build a timeline-based reference for normal labor, the three stages of delivery, and the four most common obstetric emergencies (postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia/eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse), stating the first three actions for each.

  • Complete 60 obstetrics and gynecology items and 60 pediatrics items, logging every miss with the guideline or mechanism that resolves it.

  • Write a pediatric dosing and danger-sign quick card covering dehydration assessment, febrile infant workup by age, and the three pediatric emergencies most often tested.

  • Compare obstetric and pediatric red flags side by side in a single table to reduce cross-domain confusion.

Your checkpoint

A combined obstetric and pediatric red-flag table (at least 15 entries) plus a 120-item error log from the two domains.

Week 5

Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology & Emergency Medicine and Critical Care

  • Construct a notifiable-disease and isolation-precautions reference covering tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, brucellosis, and measles, including incubation period, transmission route, and reporting obligation for each.

  • Complete 60 infectious disease and epidemiology items plus 60 emergency medicine and critical care items, and record every miss with the corrected fact.

  • Recite the sepsis bundle sequence, the shock differentiation framework, and the ACLS rhythm-to-treatment mapping from memory in a single timed session.

  • Interpret five sets of arterial blood gases without reference material and check each answer against a systematic stepwise method.

Your checkpoint

A completed notifiable-disease table (five diseases, four columns each) and a timed 120-item error log covering infectious disease, epidemiology, emergency medicine, and critical care.

Week 6

Primary Care and Family Medicine & Pharmacology and Rational Drug Use

  • Draft a primary care screening and immunization schedule by age band, covering the preventive services most likely to be tested.

  • Complete 60 primary care and family medicine items plus 60 pharmacology items, classifying each pharmacology error as mechanism, interaction, contraindication, or dosing.

  • Build a drug-safety reference for ten high-alert medications, listing indication, key contraindication, major interaction, and monitoring parameter for each.

  • Apply the principles of rational prescribing by writing five short case vignettes in which the correct answer is to withhold or de-escalate a drug.

Your checkpoint

A ten-drug high-alert medication table with four columns per drug, plus five original rational-prescribing vignettes with answer keys.

Week 7

Diagnostics: Laboratory and Imaging & Public Health, Health Law, and Medical Ethics

  • Create a laboratory test interpretation sheet covering the twenty most frequently tested tests, stating reference range, common false-positive cause, and the next confirmatory step for each.

  • Complete 60 diagnostics items and 60 public health, health law, and medical ethics items, logging each miss with the governing rule or principle.

  • Summarize Mongolia-relevant public health structures, reporting duties, and the core consent and confidentiality rules in a two-page brief.

  • Practice ten imaging-modality selection questions by stating the best initial modality and justifying the choice in one sentence each.

Your checkpoint

A twenty-test laboratory interpretation sheet plus a two-page brief on public health reporting and medical ethics principles, both written without source material open.

Week 8

Basic and Preclinical Sciences Applied to Clinical Practice & Professional Communication and Clinical Skills

  • Review the highest-yield preclinical concepts (acid-base physiology, fluid compartments, pharmacokinetics, autonomic pharmacology, microbiology classification) in a single condensed summary sheet.

  • Rehearse ten structured clinical communication scenarios (breaking bad news, informed consent, medication adherence counseling) and record each as a self-scored checklist.

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and analyze every error by domain to identify the three weakest areas.

  • Re-drill only the weakest three domains and all previously missed items until the retest score exceeds 85%.

Your checkpoint

Two completed timed mock exams with a domain-by-domain error analysis and a final one-page high-yield revision sheet.

Milestones

Week 2: Internal medicine error log has at least 240 logged items, and the week-1 retest score is at least 80%.

Week 4: The acute abdomen table, obstetric and pediatric red-flag table, and combined error log are complete, with at least 330 total items attempted across domains 1 through 4.

Week 6: The notifiable-disease table, ten-drug high-alert table, and rational-prescribing vignettes are finished, and cumulative item count exceeds 570.

Week 8: Both timed mock exams are completed with a domain error analysis, and the weakest three domains score above 85% on retest.
