loganonmission Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just wondering what everyone is currently using to study for the CFPC exam. I am using the "red book" (Guide to the Canadian Family Medicine Examination) to prepare, just basically trying to memorize everything I can get into my head. I'm also using the McMaster (FMPE) modules and reading through the information section of those (there are about 70 modules, and if you just read the information sections, it's about 3-4 pages each). I have the Swanson's Family Medicine Review book, but it's American, and I honestly find it to be quite verbose, maybe excessively so. I've only used it for a few topics, and the information it contains may be a bit too advanced. So, what are you guys using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeags86 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thread bumb. While I am only entering FMR in July, i am interested in hearing what resources residents have found useful for the boards. I've heard Family Medicine Notes is a good one.

loganonmission Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm surprised that nobody is really replying to this posting! But anyway, I asked around in our group of residents and I found that these were the most common answers: -The "red book" (seems to be the most popular by far) -Family Medicine Notes (I saw a couple of people use this) -McMaster modules -Using guidelines from the Canadian Task Force, Canadian Paediatric Society -Rx Files (to review drug classes, common side effects, etc) -Therapeutic Choices (I saw one person using this) I'll add to this as I hear more.

justletmein Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Family medicine notes and the "saskatchewan notes" or "red book" are both good resources but on their own are nowhere near complete enough to cover the CFPC objectives. I used the family medicine notes, along with one of the US board review books, various guidelines and the Dr Kirlew podcasts. Probably the most useful in my opinion are the guidelines (specifically CANADIAN guidelines) and the podcasts are a nice review and cover a lot of the high yield topics as well as prep for the SOO's and OSCE's. Good luck, it's a b**** of an exam but it will be over before you know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medisforme Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Is there a database of previous McMaster modules we can access? The registration fee to access the modules on the site is pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
