Similar question, if I were to not practise that much this summer (as well M1), is that going to look very bad when it comes to applying to residency, assuming I cheque all of the other boxes throughout med school? I'one thousand currently interested in a not-competitive specialty but am interested in some of the top programs.

Residency programs don't care what yous did over M1 summertime. They wait at your complete med school profile in information technology'south entirity. If one was interested in competitive specialities/institution (such as top tier IM or peds), the summer is a good time to dive into research projects and make connections every bit you don't have the pressure of classes, lectures and labs weighing on you.

Was the pre-studying worth it? Sounds and then inefficient to me haha. Or did y'all already have access to M2 class materials?

Just depends on how you look at it. Third party resources just accident every school lecture out of the water. Premade decks like Zanki permit you lot to go at your own step.

Personally, I never pre-studied; I just went at an ambitious pace, running my own curriculum. Information technology's been worth it for me considering I'1000 in total control of my learning, not dependent on my schoolhouse whatsoever.

Totally worth information technology. Use Anking, Pathoma, Sketchy, Pathoma and you're more efficient than whatsoever school lecture

Depends on what your goals are...all-time bet honestly is to accept a chill pill and recharge for the next year. I technically shadowed for four weeks in a specialty that I want and I ended up getting a research publication out of it bc my mentor recommended a case report. Information technology was super chill, and I partied on the weekends w/ friends. Did not pre-written report at all. I know what specialty I want though then it was obvious for me.

If I had no clue whatever what I wanted to exercise, I would have just traveled carefree for the entire summer. Last take chances you'll have that much complimentary time until maybe 4th year (depending on your curriculum) or until you're retired

given that step is P/F now I wouldn't worry about catching up on Anki specifically. I would merely go ham on inquiry

Unfortunately, clinical and basic medicine tin at present exist pushed to the side for groundbreaking research from medical students whose goal is to get a clinical physician.

What's your confidence interval on that statement?

This is hilarious, lol. I'm under no illusions every bit to whether doing well on step actually makes yous a improve doctor, merely I also don't believe the enquiry med students do is worth a lick ix times out of 10.

Personally, I prefer studying crazy difficult for a scored step over doing ten,000 more chart reviews, but that's just me.

Personally, I adopt studying crazy difficult for a scored stride over doing 10,000 more chart reviews, but that's just me.

pretty sure that post was in jest

pretty certain that post was in jest

I know, I said it was hilarious because I found information technology funny haha. I was like-minded with the ironic utilise of "groundbreaking".

Edit: I could see how information technology could read otherwise, similar I was disagreeing with the post or something

Connected enquiry stuff ... but added in plenty of FUN time by:

* Hiking outdoors (and seeing lots of beautiful scenery).

* Trying new recipes at dwelling house (delicious to consume, such as dwelling house-made water ice cream).

* Donated volunteer time to an amazing pet adoption group (and fabricated some awesome friends exterior of medicine with this grouping, and they're nonetheless my proficient friends).

* Watched some movies that I had never seen in my life (that everyone else had already seen).

* Started to jot down a few ideas on a "bucket list" that I dreamed about doing after school was done (information technology was intriguing to remember about things that seemed important to me at that time - especially since I was nonetheless in school and the earth is filled with exciting stuff that seemed interesting to me). Actually, a few of my classmates did the aforementioned thing - just for fun.

Any yous decide to exercise ... have a bang-up summer betwixt M1 and M2!

Learning the steps of glycolysis has no correlation in determining whether you will be a Competent physician. But....remembering the information in a timed style under high stress and using your critical skills in figuring out a solution to a clinical question does.

Equally such doing well on steps correlates to success in condign a competent physician.

Hmm. Debatable. I reckon that the best proxy that we take for future clinical functioning is sub-i performance. The steps are just in that location to brand sure you've got the minimum knowledge base for competency. Then yous build on it (in a specialty-specific style) through residency and attendinghood.

They always say patients aren't multiple option questions, or whatever the saying is

Hmm. Debatable. I reckon that the all-time proxy that we have for future clinical functioning is sub-i operation. The steps are just in that location to brand sure you've got the minimum knowledge base of operations for competency. So you build on it (in a specialty-specific mode) through residency and attendinghood.

Sure lets have our radiologist have the minimum knowledge for competency then he tin can miss a tumor or get it confused with something else.
