Revision Tips: Microsoft One Note Application for Post Graduate Primary Care doctors and General Practitioners.
……………………….
Microsoft One Note is a powerful tool for students who plan to organise their notes, past year questions, references and other revision materials.
Since I am in charge for houseman end of posting written exams, I use One Note to organise my questions bank.
Once I discovered good samples of questions from books, portals or my own exam questions, I gather all of them and divided them into important disciplines/topics using the tab functions.
Examples: NCD/Dermatology/GIT etc.
I copy paste the questions & highlight the answers. Then I attach the evidence based references to support the answers ie CPG/ Murtagh text books etc.
So I am able to explain to my houseman why the answers are such.
I found electronic text book / soft copy of CPGs/ various online portals ( Up To Date/BMJ/Medscape) are useful when it comes to electronic notes.
I can just copy & paste directly from the pages or simply screenshot and paste them next to the questions.
But mind you, I still have the conventional hard copies of important text books ya. When I do serious revision, I prefer a “real” book.
But when I do a ” collateral quick e-note revision”, I choose e text books.
So I own both!
Do I feel it is too pricey for purchasing/subscribing multiple references?
Nope!
Because the value of knowledge is even higher!
