Your unofficial study group for the ACEM Primary exams. Join myself (Charlotte) and some fabulous guests as we go through the core content from past Primary Viva exam papers. In each episode we tackle a particular topic from one of the four subjects - pharmacology, physiology, anatomy and pathology. It is done in a Q&A format to mimic what the exam is actually like. Summary notes from each episode available on the website at https://www.acemprimarypodcast.com/

    30. Pathology of Fluids, Haemodynamics and Haematology with Dr. Ben Wingrove

    Shock, DIC and the coagulation cascade!  Dr. Ben Wingrove joins me today for a feature length random mash-up of things that happen in the circulation. We cover a range of topics here which feels similar to what you will be exposed to in the exam. Some of the diseases are covered in a lot of detail, but don't be intimidated as many of the questions just require a few key words to get the marks. You might need to listen to this a few times to get your head around the wordy-ness of these answers but have a look at the show notes where I have tried to give them a bit of structure.  Support the show

    29. Renal & Endocrine Pathology with Dr. Jacqui Downey

    Renal failure, diabetes and thyroid storm! Jacqui Downey joins me for this 2-in-1 episode covering all the key elements of renal/endo pathology. Some of these questions are from waaaay back so take them with a grain of salt (no renal pun intended).   Jacqui is an awesome human being who navigates work-life balance in a way that is inspiring. We had a lot of fun recording this one and I hope you enjoy it. Nearly finished the content now!

    28. Neck and Spine Anatomy with Dr. Susan Lammi

    Vertebrae, triangles and the larynx! Dr Susan Lammi joins Primary Cast to chat about all the things in the neck and spine. For this topic make sure you have looked at the anatomy photographs of the triangles of the neck & the anterior neck dissection. It is also essential to have looked at the airway models and be able to describe what you see as well as be able to identify which vertebral bone you have been handed.  As always, the transcript and other notes are available online.

    27. General Principles of Pharmacology with Dr. Sarah Oldfield

    Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and all kinds of antagonists! Dr. Sarah Oldfield sits down with me to cover the nitty gritty basics of pharm. These example answers are ones that I learned for the viva and are based on old questions and marking keys. Don't get tripped up by the different types of graphs that people use - just pick one style and go for it.  In the episode we chat about Derange Physiology, the CICM Exam website by Dr Alex Yartsev. If you haven't seen the website yet then definitely check it out here as there is a lot of crossover between the two primary exams and I really like his pharmacology sections.  Support the show

    25. Respiratory Physiology with Dr. Issie O'Conor

    Asthma, asbestos and ALLLL the pneumonias. Yes! Primary Cast is BACK after a hiatus where your host has been having a bit of downtime and living the locum life. I am hoping to get a few more episodes up in the lead in to the November Vivas so...watch this space. The incredibly lovely Dr. Issie O'Conor joins me on this episode to cover Resp Physiology. Also - this episode is actually SPONSORED (I know, how cool is that?) by the fantastic team at BluGibbon Medical Recruitment. BluGibbon is actually my locum company that I've been working with this year and they reached out to offer to sponsor the pod. You might not know but it costs money every month for me to host these episodes online and also to maintain the website. It is not a very lucrative business so the support is really appreciated. If you decide to locum sometime after sitting these exams, have a look at them because they are excellent at ED placements and if you let them know you found them through Primary Cast, they might sponsor some more episodes. Find out more about them at https://www.blugibbon.com.au/ If you'd like to support the podcast, you can buy me a coffee here  Support the show

    24. Abdominal and Pelvic Anatomy with Dr. David Monks

    The liver, ureters and branches of the aorta! Dr. David Monks joins me for episode 24 to chat about SUPER HIGH YIELD things that exist in the abdomen & pelvis. I've worked to condense a relatively massive topic into some streamlined but hard hitting questions with all the details in there. Anatomy is such an image heavy topic - so I have put a heap of pics of my notes on the episode webpage including some of the images we talk about during this episode.  Support the show

    23. Endocrine & GIT Pharmacology with Dr. Hannah Walravens

    Insulin, thyroid drugs and all the magic of corticosteroids! For this episode Dr. Hannah Walravens joins me after a nightshift to go through some details of pharmacology.

You can find out more about Hannah and her elite Quidditch (!!)  by following her on Twitter  @hannahwalravens As usual, please send me your feedback/comments/questions via the website or via Twitter & don't forget to donate 5 bucks to Primary Cast to help keep it online via www.buymeacoffee.com/PrimaryCast Support the show
