Passing medical school exams and understanding medicine are different achievements. In this episode of Dr. Tisdall Unfiltered, I explain why independent study needs to be paired with clinical mentorship, questions, and conversations that uncover what you don’t understand. I use ovarian dermoid cysts and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) to show how I connect medical facts into a framework for clinical reasoning, and share what my own oral exams taught me about gaps in knowledge. From insulin deficiency and glucose metabolism to ketone formation, I walk through how understanding pathophysiology helps you explain what’s happening in a patient instead of simply recalling facts for a test.
