Title: Mock Exam Review / Musculoskeletal System

The day started with reviewing all the questions from the mock exam, assessing each question and options given. It went well and I saw the mock exam as an opportunity to know how to prepare and what to expect during the main exam.

I learnt about the musculoskeletal system, functions of the skeleton, key bones of the human skeleton, bone mass, types of bones and bone diseases. Understanding this system is important in assessing patient’s mobility, preventing injuries, supporting recovery, and having knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders.

Moving forward, I will engage in clinical scenarios and simulations to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. Also, I will continue learning about common musculoskeletal conditions, focusing on rehabilitation and pain management.
