REVIEW TOPICS Memorizing topics lays the foundation of knowledge needed to eventually apply clinical knowledge and think critically. Learning topics is best accomplished in layered learning. As a pre-clinical medical students you should focus on the basic science of different clinical conditions. Once you hit the wards you should focus on the physical exam and evaluation of clinical conditions. Once you become a resident, you will focus more on how to treat the clinical condition.

QUESTIONS Questions are a "poor-mans" version of case-based learning, which is the best way to learn to apply medical knowledge, evidence, and to think critically. Questions work best in repetition, where you see the question over and over again, going deeper into the explanation and references. Target Content: Medbullets USMLE board-style questions. Mastery Trigger: Click on Selfmastery wheel for EACH OB and SAE Question associated with the topic to advance based on scale below 0 N/A Have never seen question.

20 N/A Got question incorrect. Therefore you are at 20% for trying. Do the question at a later date and get it correct to advance to 40%.

40 N/A Got question correct. Therefore, you are at 40%. Now highlight the key tested concept in the explanation and highlight the key clinical findings in the conclusion of the referenced article abstracts to advance to 60%.

60 N/A Got question correct and read the explanation and conclusion of the abstracts. Therefore, you are at 60%. Answer the question correctly 3 times in a row to advance to 80%.

80 N/A Got question correct more than 3 times in a row in the last 60 days. Therefore, you are at 80%. Now type in the correct response and select it from the drop down menu to advance to 100%.

EVIDENCE In today's world of medicine, having a firm grasp of the evidence is essential to take good care of patients. Unfortunately, there is a "sea" of evidence, and it can be difficult and time-consuming to choose what is important to read. Medbullets has done the hard work of filtering for the evidence of which you need to be aware. Target Content: Only Medbullets "Tested" articles count as target content. "Tested Articles" represent a small subset of all the articles and have met specific Medbullets inclusion criteria. Mastery Trigger: Click on the Selfmastery wheel for EACH "Tested" article to advance based on scale below. 0 0 % Have never seen this article, and therefore you are at <b>0%</b>. Now, read the the Conclusion of the Abstract and highlight or note something important to advance to 20%.

20 20 % Did read the conclusion of Abstract & Bullets and highlighted some parts of it. Therefore, you are at <b>20%</b>. Now read the Abstract itself and make some highlights there to advance to 40%.

40 40 % Read all sections of abstract carefuly.

60 60 % Read full article briefly with focus on Discussion and Conclusion.

80 80 % Read full article carefully and reviewed References.

TEACHING CASES Teaching cases are the "cadillac" of learning to apply medical knowledge, the latest evidence, and think critically. They are important because they allow residents to make decisions in an algorithmic pathway - e.g., so you got an MRI in the ER and the patient is alert and oriented, so what is your next step in management? Target Content: One of our major goals of the coming years will be to partner with medical schools to generate a rich library of teaching cases. We realize we have a lot of work to do hear. Cases will not appear on your PEAK tracker unless there is a high-quality teaching case associated with the topic. Mastery Trigger: Vote on case polls AND add supporting evidence via Pubmed Insert Evidence Tool. 0 0 % Shows the % of polls that you have voted on and added supporting evidence.

20 20 % Shows the % of polls that you have voted on and added supporting evidence.

100 100 % Shows the % of polls that you have voted on and added supporting evidence.

VIDEOS While you can learn a lot by reading on your own, didactic lectures from experts always highlights what is most relevant in clinical practice. A series of Core Videos will help medical students take what they are reading, and see the relevance in clinical practice. Target Content: Currently all videos linked to a topic count in this counter. Shortly, only "Core Videos" that have a certain educational value and quality control will count in this counter. Mastery Trigger: Click on the Video Selfmastery wheel to advance based on the scale below. 0 0 % Have never seen video

80 80 % Watched video start to finish twice

SKILL PREPARATION TASKS You can't expect to do any surgical skill, for instance cutting the femoral neck in a THA, unless you have done your homework. Prepare for surgical skills by reading the basic outline of the skill steps watching select videos, and reading key articles and portions of textbook chapters. Take notes and highlight so you don't forget what you learned. Target Content: Medbullets has carefully created a series of tasks that we believe a resident should complete in preparation for a skill. They include:

1) STEPS - reading the Medbullets "Steps" of a skill that have been created by medbullets. Medbullets Techniques are largerly incomplete at this time, and will see rapid improvement as they are updated by experts in the field over the coming months. Mastery Trigger: Check the "Mark Skill as Read" under each Step.

2) VIDEOS - only Medbullets Technique Videos count. Currently we only have videos for one procedure posted. We plan on releasing 1-2 Technique Videos per month. Mastery Trigger: Click on Video Selfmastery Tool of Skill Technique Video per the scale listed above under videos.

3) ARTICLES - we will continue to select several articles, which may be a scientific articles or a section of a Technique textbook, which we feel should be read prior to attempting to do a surgical skill. We will do our best to make sure a PDF is provided. Mastery Trigger: Click on the Article Selfmastery Tool on Skill Articles per the scale listed above under articles. 0 0 % Number represents % of total requred Skill Tasks completed.

20 20 % Number represents % of total requred Skill Tasks completed.

40 40 % Number represents % of total requred Skill Tasks completed.

60 60 % Number represents % of total requred Skill Tasks completed.

80 80 % Number represents % of total requred Skill Tasks completed.

SKILL SELFMASTERY We know surgeons can teach themselves most surgical skills by passive observation and trying on their own. Our selfmastery system allows residents to track their selfmastery on each step of a skill. Highlighting and taking notes allows residents to document what they learned for future reference. Target Content: This includes the Medbullets "Steps" for each Skill. For each of these "Steps" the surgeon rates his Self-mastery on the scale listed below. Mastery Trigger: Click on the Step Selfmastery Tool to advanced based on the scale below. 0 0 % Have never seen surgical "Step" performed.

20 20 % Watched surgical "Step" but not involved.

40 40 % Watched surgical "Step" and partially invovled (held retractor).

60 60 % Did surgical "Step" start to finish under close supervision.

80 80 % Did surgical "Step" independently and comfortably without supervision.

100 100 % Tried to teach surgical "Step" to another surgeon.
