A focused guide for planning your study. Follow the current syllabus and teaching guidance from your own institution when deciding what to cover.
What to keep in view
High-Yield Exam Topics & Competencies
A working method
Recommended Focus
Competency Mapping & Auditing: 45% | Integrated Cross-Subject Review: 35% | Practical Logbook Check: 20%
Download your university's official CBME subject syllabus. For every competency code (e.g., AN10.1 or PY5.2), verify whether you can demonstrate the required skill level: 'Knows', 'Knows How', 'Shows How', or 'Does'. Build integrated study sessions that link basic science topics to corresponding clinical disciplines (e.g., Cardiac anatomy with Physiology pressure-volume curves and Cardiology murmurs).
Ask Yourself
Can you explain this physiological or anatomical concept at the required CBME competency level?
Actionable Study Checklist
- 1Audit your study notes against official university CBME competency checklists
- 2Schedule integrated revision blocks connecting basic science to clinical medicine
- 3Review required AETCOM scenarios for your current professional year
- 4Verify all procedural and practical logbook entries are signed and completed
Common Pitfalls & Examiner Red Flags
- !Treating pre-clinical and clinical subjects as completely disconnected silos
- !Ignoring AETCOM modules which are now formally assessed in university examinations
- !Failing to maintain updated practical logbooks and certifiable skill entries
