Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): philgoddard, Toni Castano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Emergency And Disaster Preparedness: An Experience In Training Undergraduate Medical Students

In the very first year of medicine, the subject called Primary Techniques in Medicine I trains students in first aid, taking advantage of the anatomical and physiological knowledge they are acquiring in other classes.

Second year students study Primary Techniques II, where they learn procedures such as the use of probes, the interpretation and execution of medical orders, and mobilization and evacuation of hospital patients. By this stage, undergraduates can help rescue teams by providing first aid, or they can give support as paramedics in the observation or handling of the injured.

Overview of Skills Required of Primary Care Physicians

Your context lists so many things that are required of a licensed practicing primary care physician, that I might use the word "overview".
