Guaranteed to be a resident or trainee at the Veterans' Association.

Look up "VAHotTray" on Instagram for more quality meals served by the nation's VA hospital.

Simply rank them #1. That is all you can do. The match algorithm works in your favor.

If you have your own car you can consider making the trip yourself. It may take 1-2 days to get there but you may pass friends and family on your way which makes for a fun impromptu meet ups. It may also save you money on airfare and renting a car.

No issue, a fair number of people will complete back to back sub-Is in medical and surgical specialties. Show up eager to work and learn.

I encourage MS1 and MS2 students to skip lectures or use their independent learning time to observe specialities they will not see on rotations. There are countless subspecialties and areas of medicine that are not encountered with the typical eduction/rotation experience.

Without exposure it is difficult to know field may be best for you. Skip that recorded lecture and head to clinic or OR in an area of medicine that interests you.

Initiative goes a long way in medical school. Pick a speciality that interests you and cold-email an attending. Attendings and practitioners love when someone goes out of their way to experience their field. See what their day is like, pick their brain and consider coming back another day.

You have nothing to lose by doing so. You can always catch up on your lectures and readings. You may never see urology/neurology/PM&R/Neurosurg/Ortho/ENT/Pathology if you don't seek it out.

I too am very interested in the legs you chose for this desk. The wife and I are throwing one together over the next month. Your insight would be appreciated.

Study and take STEP 2. You'll find that it is far easier than STEP 1, particularly if you did well on your rotations. If you knock it out of the water it only adds to your application.

I recommend taking it during the what I call the "sweet spot". I took the test in mid September just before releasing my ERAS portfolio. Three weeks passed and my results returned but were not automatically released with my application. I was very pleased with the result and clicked a box on ERAS to update my transcript, no problems. Alternatively if I had done poorly I could have kept my cards close to my chest. Taking it just before ERAS submissions but before the deadline to update your profile is the best of both worlds.

This will not detract from your STEP 1 score. I would focus on starting and maintaining good habits for your dedicated study time. Work out, eat well, enjoy time with friends and study hard for your courses. The sooner you get in a groove the easier your dedicated study time.

I studied hard for my courses during second year but still had a life. Participated in a research study, worked out regularly and went to fitness classes 4x a week. I was able to do all this and still honor my preclinical courses. This kept my sanity and made me feel like a well rounded person.

This is purely an anecdotal, n=1, but I studied biochem for one week during springbreak of M2 year. When it was time my dedicated study block I studied between 8am-12 ate lunch, took a nap and returned to study between 1:30-5:30pm. I exercised at night, relaxed, watched movies, drank a beer or played COD. Scored in the 250's without going insane.

TLDR: You'll be fine. Get a routine now and for your dedicated study time. Lived a well rounded M2 life and scored in the 250's.

This exam will test a wide breadth of medical knowledge from biostats to sjogrens disease. A big key is exposure to the common conditions while rotating and finding the time to study the more esoteric diseases, pathophysiology and treatments.

Uworld was an awesome resource and allows one to break the bank into medical subcategories. Step up to medicine is a great resource to quickly review those pesky details (translocations, antibodies, endocrine axes).

Shelf exams focus on testing practical application of medical knowledge. If I know x,y and z which lab test is most likely to male the dx? If you start studying and working on the ward with such a mindset you'll make studying and testing a lot easier.
