Chapter 392: Chapter 184: Taking the dical Practitioner Certificate Exam, Unexpectedly Gains Anesthesia Techniques

In the following days, Zhou Can almost participated in surgeries every day at the Cardiothoracic Surgery departnt under the leadership of Director Xue and Deputy Director Lu, with very few opportunities to take the lead. He was not even allowed to touch so of the higher-risk practical operations.

Compared to other departnts, the chief physicians at the Cardiothoracic Surgery departnt were the most cautious group of surgeons Zhou Can had ever encountered.

Director Hu Kan would occasionally take him to perform surgeries.

About two or three tis a week.

Assisting these chief physicians in surgeries, the tasks he mostly undertook were suturing, stitching up the skin, and closing the chest cavity.

It felt as if he had gone back to his intern days.

Zhou Can was not in a hurry, instead he carefully observed every step and skill of each surgery, learning valuable experiences in handling various crises.

After surgeries, he would make comprehensive summaries and promptly consult with Director Xue or Deputy Director Lu if there were any uncertainties.

During these days, although he had not been able to exercise on difficult surgeries, his understanding and knowledge regarding various diseases in Cardiothoracic Surgery and different surgical procedures and steps had made rapid progress.

This was a form of accumulation, as well as a form of sedintation.

Perhaps influenced by the ‘steady’ style of the Cardiothoracic surgeons, Zhou Can felt that when he perford surgeries, there seed to be a hint of ‘steadiness’ as well.

One morning while doing ward rounds, he received a call from the hospital’s personnel departnt, informing him that they had applied for the dical Practitioner Certificate practical skills examination on his behalf. The exam was scheduled for the 14th of this month.

That was less than half a month away.

The ‘aunties’ in the personnel departnt really held him in high esteem.

Such an important exam should have been notified one or two months in advance!

Fortunately, Zhou Can’s surgical skills were not below Level 3, so as long as he was not extrely unlucky, he was confident in passing the exam.

After Director Xue found out that he was about to take the dical Practitioner Certificate practical skills examination, this beautiful-hearted team leader sister gave him so special guidance.

She focused on helping him improve diagnostics like cardiopulmonary auscultation, imaging X-rays, CT, ultrasound examinations, and electrocardiogram diagnosis, among others.

She told Zhou Can that the content related to Cardiothoracic was a major part of the dical Practitioner Certificate practical skills examination.

Apart from cardiopulmonary auscultation and imaging diagnostics, it also included history taking, case analysis. As for dical ethics, physical examination, and basic surgical operations, for Zhou Can, was simply a giveaway.

Every day during ward rounds, he would perform a physical examination on so key patients, which also allowed Zhou Can to accumulate a wealth of experience in physical examinations.

Basic surgical operations were even less worth ntioning.

He estimated that he could outperform all the candidates in the entire examination area.

Even a chief physician with over a decade of experience might not be able to compete with him.

Zhou Can realized that the hospital had arranged his standardized training departnt just right.

Just over a month into his Cardiothoracic Surgery training, he was about to take the dical Practitioner Certificate exam.

The practical skills examination content heavily featured Cardiothoracic.

He couldn’t have believed they didn’t calculate the dates perfectly if he were killed for it.

The 14th arrived quickly.

In the past ten days or so, Zhou Can had been intensively enhancing his practical skills in cardiopulmonary auscultation, imaging diagnostics, and electrocardiogram diagnostics, with the help of Director Xue.

Heading for the exam, he appeared very calm.

With solid knowledge under his belt and capabilities in his hands, he could handle any kind of exam question, naturally, there was no panic.

…

Once the dical Practitioner Certificate practical skills examination was over, Zhou Can walked out of the exam room with a confident smile on his face.

The practical exam was divided into multiple stations.

The first station assessed clinical reasoning abilities.

It mainly included cardiopulmonary auscultation, imaging diagnostics, electrocardiogram diagnostics, dical ethics, history taking, and case analysis. Indeed, it was almost exactly as Director Xue had described.

Having done intensive study and practice in these areas before the exam, and possessing a solid foundation to begin with, Zhou Can easily passed the first station.

The second station tested physical examination, which were very simple exam tasks, and he breezed through that as well.

The last station tested basic operations.

This was Zhou Can’s strong suit. He perford stunningly, quickly and excellently, nearly dropping the jaws of the examiners.

Perhaps they couldn’t believe that a young man, who had just taken the dical Practitioner Certificate exam, could have such an impressive level of surgical operation skill.

If any of the examiners’ jaws really did drop, Zhou Can could even show off his Bone Setting Skill, helping them directly relocate their jaws with his technique.

After the exam, upon returning to the Cardiothoracic Surgery departnt at Tuya Hospital, his colleagues asked him how the exam went.

Zhou Can said with a smile, “Not bad.”

With the targeted training from Director Xue, coupled with Zhou Can’s own strength, it would be unreasonable if he didn’t pass.

Two weeks later, the results ca out.

Zhou Can was changing the dressing for a patient who had just undergone surgery in the ward when the personnel departnt called him.

“Dr. Zhou, congratulations, you have passed the practical skills examination for the dical Practitioner Certificate! Please prepare for the comprehensive dical Qualification Examination; the first trial should be in about a month and a half, around the 20th. The examination period will last for two days, so please arrange your work handover in advance.”

Tuya had promised to assist him in obtaining his certification after Zhou Can ranked first in the standardized training recruitnt exam, and the hospital was indeed keeping its word.

He didn’t need to worry about any of the application procedures.

Everything had been arranged properly for him.

Regarding the comprehensive dical exam, so say it’s difficult, others say it’s easy.

Zhou Can was clear about his own theoretical knowledge; at most, it was above average.

During this period, he would probably have to set aside his dical practice to catch up on his basic knowledge.
