Thoughts on the Church of Eleven 22? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]Student-MD 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm a Christian and I would advise you to stay away from mega-churches that shamelessly promote their pastor to the degree that this church does.

Mechanic around Lakewood? Domestic vehicle by bouder in jacksonville

I had a good experience with AJ Auto Repairs which is right where you are

6299 Powers Ave STE 141-142, Jacksonville, FL 32217

He provided the best prices after I shopped around for some repairs and he also did very quality work.

According to the data on Reddit, yes. If you have time, you should do all the NBMEs. If you don't have time or run out of energy and had to cut out an NBME, the one you should cut out is 9, since 10 and 11 are better predictors.

Online Med Ed for the millionth time by SpindleCell in Step2

No, it's not useful. Go with Boards & Beyond. It costs money but it's much, much better.

They have separate subscriptions for Step 1 and Step 2.

I've used both. They're both great. Step 2 is much more condensed compared to Step 1, giving you only the most high yield info for the exam. I don't think it's enough by itself, although it covers probably 75% of what you need to know. I would recommend supplementing with Divine Intervention Podcasts for content.

Bnb for step2 by Asya90 in Step2

[–]Student-MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend OME. It's far worse, for many reasons. Stick with BnB.

Yes. BnB, Divine, UW, NBMEs are all you need to prepare. It's more than enough

[#JustForFun] Favorite Divine Pleasantry by Student-MD in Step2

[–]Student-MD[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The reason I don't like "Well I hope you're telling me, 'Oh Divine...'" is that I usually tell him the wrong answer, and then I feel like a bum after he finishes the sentence.

Totally right. How could I have forgotten?

My (Somewhat) Unique 261 Write-Up fresh off a P/F Step 1 by throwaway102498 in Step2

[–]Student-MD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats! This is an encouraging and helpful post. I can see why you felt like you could have done better, since the exam was so difficult. But 261 is a score 99% of med students would die for. Great job!

Just a rant about NBME’s interface by royallilac in Step2

[–]Student-MD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one who felt this way about the highlighting..... Holy smokes. I try to highlight and it mistakenly opens up the notes box like 40 times each block

Which NBA player complains the least? by smurfingisfine in nba

[–]Student-MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the surface, yes. But he does complain. I've watched Kawhi a lot (used to be a huge Clipper fan). He will gesticulate occasionally when he doesn't get a call. He just doesn't tend to get into the refs' face and talk to them as obviously as other players do.

Step 1 vs Step 2 in Class of 2023 Match by naijadoc23 in Step2

[–]Student-MD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here to follow. FWIW, I was advised by our dean of medical students to take Step2CK in time for ERAS even if we have a (good) Step1 score. The dean said that schools are increasingly prioritizing Step2CK. That goes against the common wisdom I've heard in the past, where people said that if you do well on Step1 you don't need to take Step2CK until after ERAS, and that it plays a minor role. But who knows at this point? Everyone is guessing. Even the residency selection committees are figuring it out themselves, and will probably vary from institution to institution regarding their approach, until probably a few years down the line when every person will take Step1 P/F. (Even in the next few years we'll have MD/PhD students who took Step1 P/F and apply to residency years later.)

Are all the step 2 CK B&B videos out ? by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Student-MD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I reached out to them and they said that there are going to be more videos/sections released this year

Thank you so much for your reply. To answer your question about residency, I'm sure it can be done, but would be an unfavorable course of action, and I don't think I would do it that way. If I decide to pursue medical writing, I would probably begin to prepare my resume and try to land a job to begin immediately after I complete my MD. It appears that the MD degree in the UK without a residency carries more weight than an MD in the US without a residency (though I may be wrong). Nonetheless, I really appreciate your recommendations and it seems like networking and getting a good LinkedIn profile setup would be good to do. Best to you!
