STUDY TIP
Choose one main resource
——
The amount of resources that are recommended to study for the PCS exam can be overwhelming. Choose one resource as your main resource, and use all of the others as supplemental information. When we studied in 2020/2021, we chose Campbell’s 5th Edition (now the 6th edition) as our main resource (what we got the majority of our information from), and used the others to review material and learn it in a different way.
——
We based our study plan off of MedBridge because, for us, it made the most sense. But MedBridge was not our main source of information. We reviewed Campbell as a study group, used PCS Advantage to review the material in a concise way, and used MedBridge as another way of studying (listening and watching videos). We then used additional resources, like the clinical summaries, fact sheets, and recommended readings, to supplement any information that we did not find in Campbell.

Activity Focused Interventions
——
Join us this week as we talk about Activity Focused Interventions: Shifting from Fixing to Function. We are diving into this article, published by Joanne Valvano in 2004. While the article may be a bit dated, the concepts are extremely important to review.

STUDY TIP
Create a study plan that works for you
———
Set yourself up on a study plan that works for you. If that’s studying a little bit every day, that’s great, but if it’s only studying three days a week, that’s great too! Make sure that your study plan is realistic for your schedule and fits within your lifestyle. If you have kids and a family, account for that. If you have a full time and a part time job, account for that, too.
———
Plan your schedule around important dates, such as holidays, birthdays, weddings, or other events that you are wanting to attend. Make your study plan work for you.

STUDY TIP
Set a start date
———
Set yourself a study start date. Circle it on your calendar. Organize your resources beforehand. Pick a subject or topic to start with. Starting is the hardest part.
———
It is not about motivation, it’s about discipline. You will not always be motivated. Some days will be tough. Recognize when to push through and when to take a break. Keeping yourself on a schedule will not only keep you disciplined, but will keep your eye on the prize.

Season 3 of Pushing Pediatrics is out TOMORROW on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

Type I vs Type II Error
——
They are easy to get mixed up, but are crucial that you don’t, as they mean very different things.
——
Type I Error (False Positive): A study finds an effect that doesn’t actually exist.
——
Type II Error (False Negative): A study fails to detect an effect that is actually there.
——
Example: A Type I error might be concluding that a new intervention for balance is effective when it really isn’t. A Type II error could occur if the study fails to find that a new balance intervention actually helps.

Stats Without fear!
——
Perhaps one of our better episodes so far this season, join us for Stats Without Fear! Statistics should not be scary, and we are hoping this helps solidify some of these topics for those of you as practicing clinicians and also as you are studying for the PCS exam.

MANOVA vs. ANOVA
——
The terms can be confusing – but what is the difference between a MANOVA that we talked about in the article today and an ANOVA test?
——
ANOVA – Analysis of Variance. This looks at ONE dependent variable and compares the means of two or more groups.
——
MANOVA – Multivariate Analysis of Variance. It’s basically an extension of ANOVA — instead of looking at just one dependent variable, MANOVA looks at two or more dependent variables at the same time.
——
Hopefully this helps you to keep them straight! Stay tuned for more episodes this season as we dive deeper into statistics.
