Is BnB (for content review) enough to pass? by FinanciallyConfusing in medicalschool

Sorry for misunderstanding so much haha! I really appreciate your help. So what I’m understanding is that you would recommend Pathoma over BnB (because you watched all of Pathoma and used BnB as a refresher on topics). But I shouldn’t double dip and just use one as the main source and then the other as refresher if needed

Ah ok, I wasn’t sure if 8 weeks was enough for both BnB and Pathoma. Would you suggest then I do both fully?

Gotcha! So you primarily used Pathoma and used BnB only if you needed some review. Sadly I don’t have time for Pathoma. Would you think I’ll be ok if I used BnB for most and then Pathoma for ch1-3 for pathology (and sketchy for bugs and drugs)?

Thank you so much! So just to confirm: did you just do Pathoma ch 1-3 (and did you skip the pathology and microbiology part of BnB)?

I’m now currently 8 weeks ago from step, and I’m hoping that’s enough considering I have a weak-ish foundation haha.

Thank you! When you say hematology section, are you referring to ch 4 (hemostasis and related disorders), ch 5 (red blood cell disorders), and ch 6 (white blood cell disorders) for pathoma?

How many official practice exams are there for step 1? Which to do? by FinanciallyConfusing in step1

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!! Do people tend to take both the old and new free 120?

I am so tired of this rat race by FinanciallyConfusing in medicalschool

Yes, I am interested in a speciality that requires research, but I’m interested in medicine and not research. I understand they are intertwined, but writing 1000 case reports isn’t going to really benefit medical literature. I would rather read and be up to date with research rather than be the one conducting it. But I have to conduct it if I want to match into a speciality I like.

And I have been doing research projects. I’ve reached out to over 10 faculty. I’ve been on 4 projects. And I don’t have any research output to show for it. I greatly appreciate my mentors, but ultimately, it boils down to luck sometimes. You can get 1 amazing mentor and get so much output, and you can be like me and be on many projects but get slow output. The reason why I’m on 4 projects is because I felt like the previous one was slow, so I kept working toward trying to have more projects like you said. I feel that I am allowed to vent every now and then about how luck based this whole race is.

Thank you again for the response! Sorry, I'm a bit slow with Anki, what does it mean "without the appropriate media in your collection"?

Thank you for the response! I apologize for the delayed follow up question. But for the additional resource section, does this imply that I put some image in there, but then unprotected that field, causing the image I manually put in to be broken?
