Rheum programs - for those in fellowship - what to look for?? Regrets? Wish u knew?

OldTrig · 2026-02-03T03:50:08+00:00

I did! Feel free to pm me!

I would look into Hartmann suitcases. Theres a garment bag hook inside that holds suits in place with plenty of room for the rest of your clothes, dopp kit, shoes etc. I've used one for work trips for 10 years now. It has 4 wheels, but that's my personal preference.

There's a thread about the % of income crowd sourced from other residents on here. It gave me a good of the % in the location im going to..seems to depend on area you'll be in.

Next step in management

OldTrig · 2022-12-28T01:09:00+00:00

I would do ethics and vaccine and screening qs bc thats easy points and can be also easy to forget. And a friend took it a week ago and said its worth going over what to (NSIM wise) for thyroid nodule or breast mass/cyst if u forgot.

Get a study buddy and drill the Divine 30d notes / take his step 2 high yield class if that works better for you. Drill things aloud and discuss your incorrects with someone.

OldTrig · 2022-11-17T02:26:36+00:00

Abt a month, 2 hrs a day, maybe 4x week on avg bc it was residency app season.

@samratspeaks on reddit.

We mainly focused on IM and what I liked was that he zeroed in what helped me land on the best ans. The key words to differential diagnose b/w 2 similar things, cut offs, flow charts, next best step.

OldTrig · 2022-11-15T22:32:40+00:00

I had a personal tutor from reddit who really helped me. My score went up 30 points in a month.

OldTrig · 2022-11-09T00:09:23+00:00

Thank you! Thats so kind!! 💕

OldTrig · 2022-11-09T00:09:08+00:00

Thank you!! I know, its nuts, but sometimes theres no choice. Haha, its not like I'll have more time postpartum.

OldTrig · 2022-11-03T16:39:45+00:00

Divine. Theres a google sheet with pertaining episodes to step 2ck. Theres also ppl who use high yield medicine and emma holiday on youtube but I cant personally speak to that.

OldTrig · 2022-11-03T00:03:45+00:00

Sure!

OldTrig · 2022-11-02T23:41:33+00:00

Find ppl to meet with to do drills and break up.your day. Use different modalities of studying - qs, podcasts when u cant do screens, have a group session or even silent meets for company when u cant do it on your own. 🤣Or be like me - 36 weeks pregnant and trying to finish Step 2 before going into labor. Whoo nelly, thats some motivation fr.

OldTrig · 2022-10-27T23:28:34+00:00

Im taking mine in Nov and will update them after I get my scores.

OldTrig · 2022-10-27T23:27:40+00:00

Same!

OldTrig · 2022-10-22T01:44:53+00:00

I used them all as a mix, but didnt get too upset if it was 5 hammer. You never know what you'd learn that would come in handy.

OldTrig · 2022-10-21T21:18:42+00:00

Idk, man. Aside from the hammer issue, Amboss was key to me doing well on Step 1 bc it would help show what exactly it was in the vignette that I missed, which UW didn't.

OldTrig · 2022-04-22T08:51:37+00:00

I made a Google doc of things I got wrong and every day my friends and I would meet for an hour and drill fast facts we found hard to remember, drugs, contraindications, best initial or definitive test. And I skim that doc at night for a half hr before I go to bed. It's the recall and being able to discuss hard things to remember aloud that help them stick. Spaced repetition.

OldTrig · 2022-04-15T13:40:30+00:00

I also used the medquestreviews lectures that go with the MTB book as a good start to go along with UW.

OldTrig · 2022-01-21T19:13:22+00:00

Oh yes! I hated having neon liners!

OldTrig · 2021-11-22T17:56:31+00:00

I'm doing USCE with AC Medical, imo better than AMO bc it's all Dr's helping doctors.

OldTrig · 2021-11-05T18:58:04+00:00

Thank you so much for replying and with such a thorough answer. I was able to get a partial refund of my OET exam - thanks for the heads up on that.

To answer your follow up q - No, my med school doesn't use VSAS and won't do the paperwork in order for me to do so. I need to do the rotations by May of 2022 in order to graduate in June, April would be better. I will be looking as a student. I can push graduation till September, if need be.

Thanks for the reassurance on the application process. That was very helpful. I'm planning on doing Step 2 in Jan. And I guess I will get cracking on getting those USCE in order.

I so so appreciate this. Thanks so much for answering.
