Medical Interview Skill

You must prepare properly if you want to perform impressively at your medical interview. If you want to pull ahead of some of the competition you have to understand some of the established medical interview strategies and develop content for you answers. You should take the time to obtain complete knowledge of your skills, abilities and achievements. This must be a deliberate activity. Simply relying on your mind to magically generate the content in the heat of the interview is a lazy strategy and unnecessary risks failure.

I write this post for everybody who needs information about medical consultant interview course. Oxford Medical is one of the UK's best providers of medical interview skills training and career development courses. Based in Oxford, they provide expert help and tuition in management training, interview skills training and Medical Education training to current doctors. Their various interview courses are aimed at those with a consultant interview, GPST or CT/ST Interview. With the current competitive climate within the NHS medical job market they are fully aware of what you require. Their tutors are experts in this field, fully trained and have vast experience in the medical selection process.

In there you will find some useful medical interview questions to practice and to help you prepare for your medical interview. Naturally some of them are difficult and are aimed at consultant medical interview candidates. They have categorized them for ease of preparation. Should you want to know how to answer these questions and give an effective and powerful answer then why not come along to one of our expert interview courses which are run separately for consultants, ST/CT, CMT and GPST doctors in small groups. You have to check by yourself for more information.

Note to pull ahead of some of the competition:

Make the effort to:
• Know the facts about your candidacy
• Develop 10-15 stories, which allow you to elegantly sell at least 3 or more core skills
• Establish the benefits that your skills offer the hospital or deanery that you are applying to

Remember to show them how you have demonstrated the essential criteria on the person specification - don't just tell them that you possess them. Understand that a medical interview consists of the exchange of a few thousand words between you and the medical interview panel. Your career's future is likely to hinge on a few short exchanges of those words. With a bit of effort you can design which phrases you want your medical interview panel to remember and ensure that they discuss your implanted phrases when deciding the outcome of everybody's medical interview performance. You must prepare for your medical interview with the focus and effort that you prepare for your exams. A consultant medical interview would be a good source for you. Good luck :)

Marsh Rice Rat (Oryzomys palustris)

Marsh Rice Rat (Oryzomys palustris)
Order Rodentia : Family
Muridae : Oryzomys palustris (Harlan)

Description
Ratlike, with long, nearly naked, scaly tail; ears short and hairy; upperparts grizzled grayish brown, heavily lined with black, especially in winter pelage; underparts whitish. External measurements average: total length, 245 mm; tail, 116 mm; hind foot, 29 mm. Weight, 40-68 g, averaging 51 g.

Distribution
Found in eastern Texas west to Brazos County and south to Cameron County.

Habits
These rats typically inhabit marshy areas but they may be found in almost any situation where grasses and sedges offer an adequate food supply and protective cover. They are semiaquatic and do not hesitate to swim or dive to escape capture. Near Copano Bay their runways are so situated in the salt grasses and sedges that the rats have to travel in shallow water most of the time. In southeastern Texas, the rats are common on the dikes and levees thrown up in the coastal marshes. In inland areas they prefer marshes and moist meadows; occasionally they live in forested areas.

Their surface runways resemble those made by cotton rats. They are 5-8 cm in width and lead from the shallow burrows or surface nests to the feeding areas. The globular nest is composed of grasses, sedges, or weeds and frequently is placed under debris above high water in the emergent vegetation. They occasionally take over and remodel for their own use the nests of blackbirds.

The marsh rice rat is omnivorous, with about equal amounts of plant and animal matter making up the diet, although the types of food eaten varies with season and availability. Plant foods include green vegetation, fungus, and the seeds of sedges, marsh grasses, and rice. Animal foods include insects, fiddler crabs, snails, fishes, and the carcasses of small rodents and birds. It is because of their fondness for cultivated rice that they were named rice rats. In most places these rats do no damage, but in rice fields they may become economically important by consuming large quantities of rice.

They are prolific. The breeding season is nearly yearlong, during which time breeding females may bear several litters. A single female may bear five to six litters per year, although suboptimal conditions may restrict reproductive output. Litter size ranges from two to seven (average, four) but may be affected by population density as crowded conditions appear to restrict the number of young produced.

The gestation period is about 25 days. A captive female produced six litters, totaling 20 young, in 1 year — an average of 3.3 young per litter. At birth the young are blind, helpless, nearly naked, and weigh about 3 g each. They grow rather rapidly. Their eyes open on the fifth or sixth day; they are weaned on the 11th day; and sexual maturity is reached between 40 and 45 days of age. These rats appear to grow continually throughout their lifetime.

Norway Rat* (Rattus norvegicus)

Norway Rat* (Rattus norvegicus)
Order Rodentia
Family Muridae : Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout)

Description
Similar to the roof rat but larger and chunkier; tail shorter than length of head and body. External measurements average: total length, 440 mm; tail, 205 mm; hind foot, 46 mm. Weight, 400-500 g.

Distribution
Widespread in Texas but not so common in the southern half of the state as the roof rat.

Habits
The Norway, or brown, rat lives both as a commensal in close association with man and in the feral state, chiefly where vegetation is tall and rank and affords adequate protection. For example, the marshy lands on Galveston Island off the coast of Texas offer ideal habitat for them. As a commensal this rat lives principally in basements, on the ground floor, or in burrows under sidewalks or outbuildings. They appear to be most common about feed stores, chicken houses, and garbage dumps. Although more at home on the ground, these rats are adept at climbing and have been observed traveling along telephone wires from one building to another. In places they become exceedingly numerous and destructive.

They feed on a variety of items including both plant and animal materials. All sorts of garbage appear to be welcome, but their main stay is plant material. Grains of various sorts are highly prized. When established around poultry houses, they feed extensively on eggs and young chickens. They even have been known to kill lambs and young pigs!

These rats are prolific breeders. The gestation period varies from 21 to 23 days and the number of young from two to 14, averaging seven or eight. At birth they are blind, naked, and helpless. They grow rapidly; their eyes open in 14-17 days and they are weaned when 3 or 4 weeks old. There is no delimited breeding season, but there is a tendency for a slow-up in reproduction during fall and winter. The life span is reported to be 2-3 years.

Although these rats are preyed upon by a number of animals including the spotted skunk and the barn owl, as well as house cats, these predators often are not able to keep the rat population in check. Considerable destruction of property and foodstuffs can take place where rats are abundant. In addition, they constitute a menace to public health. They are known to be reservoirs of bubonic plague (transmitted to man by the bite of a flea or other insect), endemic typhus fever, ratbite fever, and a few other dreaded diseases. Because of this it is commonly said that Norway and roof rats are more dangerous than lions or tigers! Every effort should be made to exterminate them when they are found on your premises, and it is advisable to ratproof garbage cans and all buildings to prevent their entrance.

Bahaya Sebuah Senyuman

Hal yang melatar belakangi saya untuk posting tentang hal ini adalah untuk menanggapi beberapa permintaan teman untuk melakukan "Smile atau $mile" di shoutbox saya belakangan ini. Istilah "Smile" mungkin sudah tidak asing bagi para penggiat Adsense, baik Google Adsense, KumpulBlogger, Adsense Camps dsb. Smile adalah suatu kode atau istilah yang mereka gunakan untuk meminta kepada rekan (pemilik blog lain) untuk berkunjung ke blognya dan melakukan klik pada iklan-iklan yang terpasang disana.

Apakah itu aman?

Itulah yang ingin saya utarakan disini. Jika anda bertanya kepada saya apakah itu aman? Tegas saya jawab; Itu tidak aman. Senyuman yang anda minta atau bahkan senyuman yang tidak anda minta, apalagi itu direferensikan shoutbox anda, anda siap-siap saja menerima bahaya sebuah senyuman :)))

Kenapa bisa begitu?

Maaf,bukan bermaksud mengajari. Saya yakin para pelaku Smile sadar betul resiko apa yang mereka dapatkan nantinya dengan aksi saling senyum itu. Setahu saya, Google dengan program Google adsensenya, melarang keras untuk permintaan klik iklan di blog publishernya dalam bentuk apapun. Google menghendaki, para pengunjung datang dan mengklik iklan berdasarkan keinginan atau kebutuhan yang alami, bukan klik yang direkayasa. Dengan berbagai cara, Google pun ingin memberikan suatu perlindungan yang terbaik bagi pihak peng-iklan. Salah satunya adalah Google mengecek semua klik iklan itu datang dari mana, apa yang membawa anda datang ke situs/blog tersebut sehingga anda sampai mengklik iklan-iklan yang ada disitu, berapa kali IP address anda melakukan klik iklan, dan di situlah Google menerapkan logika mengenai klik alami dan klik rekayasa. Untuk referensi dari mana anda datang ke suatu blog, mungkin cara kerjanya sama dengan "Sitemeter", dan untuk IP address detector cara kerjanya sama dengan "Rapidshare" yang hanya mengizinkan 1 line download untuk 1 IP address (free user). Tapi hal ini bukan berarti Google adsense menerapkan batas maximal klik iklan hanya 1 kali, tergantung, jika banyak klik dan Google menganggap itu alami, tidak masalah. Namun, jika sedikit klik dan Google curiga, itu yang akan jadi masalah bagi anda.

Saran saya, hindari "Smile" atau segala bentuk permintaan klik iklan. Dan 1 lagi yang terpenting, usahakan, jika ada orang yang mengklik iklan anda, sebaiknya jangan datang dari shoutbox. Google lebih suka dengan klik yang datang berdasarkan referensi Google sendiri dengan search engine-nya. Maka dari itu, untuk mendapat klik yang banyak, perbanyaklah pengunjung berdasar referensi Google search engine (SEO). Saya yakin, insya Allah account adsense anda aman dari Banned.

Kenapa saya bisa menulis tentang hal ini, bukannya saya jago atau hebat. Juatru karena pengalaman pahit. 4 account Google adsense saya di banned (dengan nama & alamat masing-masing account berbeda), dengan hanya mendapat 2x pembayaran. Semoga hal itu tidak terjadi dengan anda.

Note: Jika anda ingin meninggalkan komentar, semua komentar menunggu persetujuan saya. Karena ada beberapa pelaku spamming yang memborbardir setiap postingan blog ini. Dalam hal ini, saya akan bertindak se-obyektif mungkin. Jangan takut untuk berkomentar, karena dengan anda meninggalkan komentar sudah merupakan salah 1 backlink ke blog anda (blog ini do-follow).
