Frequently asked questions: Surgery oral exams
Frequently asked questions Who grades the exam? A minimum of two board certified surgeons. One is usually the course director. One is usually someone who specializes in the discreet field. How can I view the transcript of my exam? The transcript is uploaded to E.Flo MD in the Course Director Handback Response field. The VCC […]

Head and neck development
Optional reading Langman’s Medical Embryology: Chapter 17, Head and Neck. The relevant sections are: Introduction, Pharyngeal Apparatus, Thyroid Gland, and Face. Most of the events that produce the definitive anatomy of the head and neck are covered in this chapter. The pharyngeal apparatus (the source of the primordial tissues) is discussed first, followed by detailed […]

Anaerobic bacteria
Medically Relevant This is a list of medically relevant bacteria. See the associated entry within the Microbiology and Infectious Disease thread compendium for gram-positive and gram-negative for details. Clostridia Actinomyces Bacteroides Propionibacterium/Cutibacterium acnes Lactobacillus
Atypical
These bacteria do not conform to the typical gram-positive and gram-negative distinctions, largely due to differences in their cell walls. Their ecologic niche, types of diseases, and immune response are resultantly different as well. Spirochetes Spiral-shaped bacteria. While cell wall structures are technically similar to gram-negative bacteria, most are far too thin to be seen […]
