Fundamentals II is SUPPOSE to be a primer class for all the modules. All modules will cover Histology/Structure, Physiology, Pathophysiology, Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Clinical aspects of an entire organ. However, you can't start the module work until you've had an introduction to all these disciplines. Thus, Fundo II will attempt to cover the introductory concepts in all these disciplines.
-Most people in our class thought Fundo II was all memorization and didn't take much from it. Covering so many disciplines while simultaneously taking anatomy sorta burns you out.
ADVICE:
-Don't mess{edited} around with pathology and pharmacology. Path and Pharm are important topics for your boards. You need to know the concepts because you will see them every module you take. If you like textbooks, Robbin's Pathology is the undisputed king of pathology textbooks for most US medical students.
-Microbiology and Immunology are poorly taught here. Many different classes have felt this way. Consider outside texts to supplement/organize the bugs. Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple comes to mind. Levinson Micro/Immuno for Review and Board Examination has an excellent summary of Immuno.
-As for doing well in class just look at all the old exams and you'll know over half of the test before you even walk into the exam room
-Fill out the bloody review at the end of each course. If you've complained about a teacher/module to classmates then fill out the course evaluation and then maybe something will actually get done. Yes, unlike undergrad teachers will really read your comments and make improvements.
