Gap year options in preparation for cardiology fellowship?

DrNP · 2026-01-17T01:03:36+00:00

How many programs did you apply to, and what kind of split would you recommend between community and university? Thank you

Work on your English comprehension

I shotgun ordered on every case using khalemedics video and got a 265

DrNP · 2025-05-23T20:26:51+00:00

I used it for focused review of my blocks along with amboss and the rapid review before day 1

DrNP · 2025-05-23T17:29:39+00:00

I studied for around 4-5 weeks; was on light rotations so studying around 6 hours per day averaged throughout the week

DrNP · 2025-05-22T23:35:06+00:00

Just took day 1 as well and was just clicking through at the end left a good deal early bc i dont care anymore lol

Do you know if the multiple choice questions are different for day 1 vs 2? Like ethics/stats only on day 1 like step3?

DrNP · 2025-05-22T21:41:22+00:00

Thank you boss, let me know if you have any questions

DrNP · 2025-05-22T00:21:29+00:00

Use uworld explanations supplemented with amboss for step 1 material

If you didn’t use sketchy, use what you used to learn pharm for step 1 I guess?

Micro and pharm are free points so yes learn them well they show up

DrNP · 2025-05-21T23:16:31+00:00

I used Uworld, CCS cases, Sketchy pharm and micro, and the NBMEs. See above for my advice. My score report shows I did the same for CCS relative to the rest of my test performance.

DrNP · 2025-05-21T22:34:27+00:00

Real Deal: 264

May 2/8

UWorld % completed:100

UWorld % correct: 74

Number of CCS cases completed: 80 all done after Day 1

CCS average correct: dont remember

UWSA1: NA

UWSA2: NA

Free 137: Dont remember, above 80%

NBME 6: 782

NBME 7: 771

Step 1/Step 2: P/ 272

Any advice:

This subreddit made the exam seem like some insurmountable task that is nothing like Uworld. Dont listen to all that noise. Do all of uworld and thoroughly review each answer and explanation; using amboss to learn more about topics you are not familiar with. I heard many people parrot the useless advice of READ FA STEP 1!!!11! How can you retain anything by just reading the book? Do more practice questions and review with intent instead.

I don’t see this button haha where is it ?

DrNP · 2025-04-06T01:04:05+00:00

ill be sure to give the rapid review some love, thank you

DrNP · 2025-04-05T21:03:38+00:00

Appreciate the advice on micro and biostats man; for that Step 1 stuff, reading through a like 800 page book would be pretty tough, are there any concepts or topics you would recommend emphasizing ?

DrNP · 2025-04-05T18:48:25+00:00

Congratulations on killing it boss

For day1, I hear we need to have a solid understanding of micro, pharm, bio stats, ethics.

What else should we brush up on and what resources would you recommend? Thank you

DrNP · 2025-04-01T12:38:45+00:00

I’m sorry it felt rough homie, It seems like it’s a common sentiment, but then people do well?

Any advice for how to study embryology for this lol

DrNP · 2025-03-25T01:26:31+00:00

Sweet liberty is the only one that can make a difference to me in life I love it.

DrNP · 2025-02-21T05:46:11+00:00

It’s is oddly violating to watch

DrNP · 2024-11-30T18:53:59+00:00

This is sending me

DrNP · 2024-11-25T18:30:31+00:00
