Exit Exams have Begun

Today was officially the first day of the Exit Exams that my class is taking this quarter. The class we have consists of a series of reviews and tests throughout the quarter. There are about thirteen tests in all, some of which are written and others which are practical. Throughout the quarter, we will be tested on just about everything we have learned clinically and do on a daily basis in the health center. Today, we had our X-ray Analysis test. Now, we are anxiously awaiting the results to find out whether or not we passed. The test consisted of thirty different cervical and lumbopelvic x-rays which we proceeded to answer analysis questions about. It was a difficult test but didn't test us over anything that we had not previously been taught. It is exciting to finally be reaching the end of my time here at Sherman. It is hard to believe that I am in my 13th quarter taking Exit Exams. It is something I have been hearing about for so long but thought seemed so far away. Now it's here and I already have one test behind me (that is, if I passed!). Our next test is not until next week so we have some time to prepare as well as take care of our patients in the health center and start studying for yet another set of boards...Part IV.
