OPRA: Therapeutics & patient care

Therapeutics and patient care is the largest OPRA domain — roughly 45% of the exam — so it's where focused practice pays off most.

High-yield areas

  • Cardiovascular (hypertension, heart failure, lipids, anticoagulation)
  • Respiratory (asthma & COPD), endocrine (diabetes, thyroid)
  • Infectious diseases & antimicrobial choice
  • Pain, CNS/mental health, GI, renal and women's health

How to study it

Pair each condition's Crash Course concept with a set of scenario questions, then let spaced repetition resurface what you miss. Because it's the biggest domain, give it the most time.
