Switching between resources is inefficient. Find Rx Bricks, Step 1 Qmax, Flash Facts (with Study Stream), and Express Videos in one comprehensive suite. With high-yield tools that fully integrate with each other, your study time becomes that much more efficient and effective.
I have really enjoyed using Flash Facts for following reasons: 1. It is not only regurgitation of the facts! It is presented in a way to learn, memorize, and master the concepts of first aid. 2. Doing the Flash Facts requires critical thinking and I have found that it is just as helpful as doing actual practice questions! You can kill two birds with one stone by mastering high yield board concepts and doing practice questions that include clinical scenarios. 3. Study Stream: Best utilization of spaced repetition. You get to see the material you are weak at more frequently. Overall, I am so glad that I utilized Flash Facts.
I purchased Rx360 and the Flash Facts are my most used aspect. I think the flash facts are awesome for people that normally study with flash cards and also people like myself who do not normally use flash cards. Flash facts provides a more active method of learning instead of just passively reading First Aid. It is great that they are premade so you do not need to make your own flash card sets on quizlet. I like that you can flag cards on material you may need to look back at.
I used Flash Facts as my primary review resource during my dedicated period for step 2 studying. Flash facts is an excellent resource because it goes in the order of first aid and essentially asks questions that are very high yield. Also the flash cards are asked in a way that facilitates active learning, and there is an option for spaced repetition which enhances recall.
On my slower days, I did not find reading First Aid or Pathoma to be that efficient because I felt as if I was being passive with my reading. On days like that, I would either utilize my resource for practice questions or for flashcards. I was never much of a fan of Anki, even though they have wonderful success rates, so I used Flash Facts. This resource really helped me solidify and retain knowledge straight out of First Aid, which is extremely valuable when taking Step 1.
Flash Facts through USMLE-Rx are the perfect pre-made flashcards to make sure that you know the First Aid review book inside and out. The more you see the information the better you know it. This is something that I used when I was covering the different body systems to make sure I knew all of the intricate details of the topics presented in this review book. One of the things I like is that it references where in First Aid you can find the information in case you need to go back and review it. It also allows you to see pictures. I love these flash cards. I would recommend anyone to use it to stay fresh on content.
These are fabulous for quick review! I would always use these flash cards when walking to and from classes, meetings, or even while eating. They provide you with a good way to refresh your knowledge and constantly keep you thinking. I would use these flash cards based on the sections I had recently completed reading about to reinforce the material. I would recommend doing large sets of these per day, as you can flip through them quickly and learn lots of information.
This resource helps to recall very important facts for the board exams. [Study Stream] has an amazing spaced repetition algorithm that reminds you of facts you are likely to have forgotten and shows you new facts too. The flashcards also tests clinical reasoning and not just memorisation of facts.

Introduction
Numerous coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks have been described in relation to meat and poultry processing facilities in different countries. In Alberta (Canada), for example, one in four of all cases of COVID-19 have been linked to 3 meat and poultry facilities as of May 10, 2020. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported 4,913 cases with 20 deaths in approximately 130,000 workers of 115 meat (beef, bison, lamb, pork, and other) and poultry processing facilities (Dyal et al., 2020). The subject is attracting considerable interest from the mainstream media and on social media, which depict the industry in mostly negative terms and offer various hypotheses about the chain of causation. We wanted to better understand why there are clusters of COVID-19 in these facilities. Our review questions were:
For both analysis, texts in English, French and German were considered for analysis, reflecting the language skills of the research team members. The data were drawn together iteratively using narrative synthesis, progressively building an understanding of the multiple interacting factors at human, material, organizational and system level that could account for the high incidence of COVID-19 in relation to meat and poultry facilities. Findings from the media analysis fed into further searches of the academic literature and vice versa, and into refinement of the overall synthesis.
The lay media search identified a sample of 28 articles from 8 countries (USA, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Australia, France, Brazil, Spain); after this point, any additional articles identified did not contain any new themes. Whilst this was an incomplete selection of press coverage, it provided a useful overview of the kinds of cases and how they were reported in the press. Many of the reports were short descriptive accounts in local newspapers which focused on temporary closures, re-openings, illness among local workers, or (rarely) deaths in workers or their relatives. There were some longer reviews and commentaries in the national press in which causal hypotheses were explored and the perspectives of policymakers, industry spokespeople and workers were contrasted. Both local and national press tended to depict the stories negatively. Twitter analytics identified additional themes and are described elsewhere (Greenhalgh and Mackenzie, 2020). Our overall analysis revealed the following broad themes:
In contrast, reports in trade magazines tended to depict a showcased local business successfully reopening while doing its best to protect workers, and the sector as a whole to be coping moderately well with the crisis.
The beef slaughtering process has several steps (International Labour Organization, 2011a): cattle receiving and holding, stunning, bleeding, head and shank removal, skinning, evisceration, splitting of carcass, final wash, chilling and processing. The first steps of the process are conducted with higher temperatures: e.g. the kill floor is especially hot and humid, the hair removal is done by passing the carcass through tanks of water heated to 58C, and the final wash may be done with hot water or steam. The chilling is a cold step of the process, usually around 2C. Freezers may generate temperatures as low as -40C. The processing can be done either in the same facility or in dedicated processing facilities. Processing areas are kept around 4C.
