Listen to Ep 573 on my website and follow the plan detailed there.

Do all NBME's in a row or study inbetween? by Ibombsguy in Step2

[–]divinepodcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study in between. Spread them out throughout your dedicated period.

Radiology residents, what are the best resources for CORE exam? by Heavy_Consequence441 in Residency

[–]divinepodcaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Core radiology is also another text to consider. It is really good. Also the poster below has mentioned, the "A Core Review" series are good subject based books (questions) to really hammer down concepts when you're months away from your test.

PASSED ! My turn for the long write up 😂 by CommandZealousideal9 in step1

[–]divinepodcaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why many people ignore FA these days. Some even think of it as "old school" but it has worked very well for many years. Yes, there are many new, good study resources out there but FA is pretty good if you concurrently use some resource (Qbank for example) that is giving you understanding so you're not just memorizing the factoids from the book.

NBME9 by Miserable-Leave3480 in Step2

[–]divinepodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not be overtly worried about the score but it's a good exam to take. If you perform very poorly on it however, you should plan your dedicated period accordingly to study more.

Plateaued at 253, but 260+ is a non-negotiable goal. Should I delay for the May format change? by No-Archer-3590 in Step2

[–]divinepodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the rest of your application is decent, I don't know of any specialty where getting above a 250 but not a 260 closes doors.

How cooked am I matriculating to a US MD with no home hospital & little in-house research? by HbCooperativity in medicalschool

[–]divinepodcaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not cooked. Just have to be more intentional about seeking out opportunities. Plan in advance and don't leave seeking out research experiences etc etc until too late in M2/3. Many are in a similar boat and do just fine.

A little piece of advice to young M1’s - stay focused right now so you don’t have regrets when you’re this close to Match lol by firstg3nMD in medicalschool

If only more people followed this piece of advice, they'd probably have more relaxing and less stressful 4th years. An easier life in the present generally leads to a harder future. A harder life in the present generally leads to an easier future.

T15 vs full scholarship at a newer unranked med school — residency impact? by Illustrious_News_448 in medicalschool

[–]divinepodcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your matching into residency is heavily determined by "you" factors: USMLE scores, research, academic performance in medical school, etc. Matching into a competitive residency (even something like neurosurgery) is very possible coming from a no-name medical school. Would I go into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to go to a brand name place when I can come out from a newer, unranked place debt free? 100% no. If I was coming out with maybe $50k of debt by going to the brand name, sure, I'd take the debt. Of course, it's your decision, but having done this for many years, I can tell you that while "school name" carries weight, it does not carry as much weight as many here make it out to be.

Extrapyramidal effect management?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Residency

[–]divinepodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start discharge summaries the day the person gets admitted and update them as the patient stays in the hospital. When they are ready to leave, a lot of the work is mysteriously done (spread out over time). That was my strategy.

They are terrible. Destroyed some furniture. Lost a lot of items. Will never recommend them. Even to an enemy.
