With midterm season coming around the corner, I thought I would share a little insight on what I believe is important to focus on for some courses I have previously taken!

PSYCH 314

I took this course as a once a week seminar, and found the material to be extremely applicable and interesting. Some of the facts you learn during this course about our healthcare system are intriguing and relatable. This courses offers a great overview of patient-health care interactions and the disparities that may be seen not only globally but with a heavy focus on Canada!

I ended up taking this course on a whim and it turned out to be one of the greatest decisions. This class taught me so much about the importance of patient-provider communication, disparities due to social class, ethnicities, educational barriers and more. I hope to go into the field of medicine and take the knowledge I have learned in this course to apply it in my future career.

The midterms for this course were heavily focused on the content from the textbook. Be sure to keep out for important facts such as comparisons between health risks for different ethnicities and social groups. I found that since the multiple choice was from the textbook and compromised majority of the time it is best to read the book as you go to class, such that information can overlap and become solidified. However, also be sure to read over the material again closer towards exam dates! Since all the midterms and the finals are equally weighed, expect the same type of format for each exam.

Good Luck!
