Take Note

Hello fellow batchmates!

I hope everyone's revision is going smoothly and well, here are just

a few announcements below. However, before I continue with that

I would like to say a few things.

1) Sem 2 Shared Folder

Just another reminder to those that may not know, I have saved all

the FLMs into a folder entitled SEM 2 OSPE on the first computer,

nearest to the large printer in the library. I have just recently

updated it with more practice OSPE/SAQ questions with answers

provided. (all credit goes to our fellow senior Gan who shared the

file). Also, this is a folder which is a temporary means for us to share

any digital info which may be helpful in exams. So, if anyone else has

any other questions or any other material that you might feel others

will find helpful - do not hesitate to share. After all, 'sharing is caring'.

(:

2) OSPE Briefing

I understand, that for medical students especially - not having had gone through

OSPE before - we may have certain questions or inquires. So i've spoken to

JPJ and he has agreed to give us a short briefing on OSPE procedures and

how to go about approaching the questions. The briefing will be held on:

Date: Novemeber 6th

Time: 3pm

Venue: LT2

This session is an unofficially organised session and attendance will not be taken.

If you feel you don't need a briefing, it's okay. For those that may want to attend,

do spread the word. (:

REMINDER: This is not a TIPS session, JPJ has specifically asked that not

questions such as this be asked.

Thanks!
