  2. What to Schedule • Depends on intended Specialty • No “cookie cutter” approach, even within specialty • Read the course syllabus in the Senior Handbook • http://musom.marshall.edu/students/senior-handbook/ • Allow for time to “make up” procedure/patient encounter logger in Spring.

  4. When to take Step 2 CKFactors to Consider • Candidacy for Residency • Does your application need a boost? • If you perform worse than on Step 1, this is an interview flag. • Preparation • How did you perform on mini-boards? Do you need extra study time? • Coordinating with other activities • Audition Rotations, Application Deadlines, Graduation requirements, and Interviews.

  5. How to Prepare for Step 2 CK • More Variable: • **Kaplan/USMLE World QBANK • Both are GREAT! I recommend World- SAME format as actual test. • Step 2 Review Course – Pretty Good • First Aid Step 2 – ok, not the best • Step Up to Medicine – Great, but long. • Secrets – Very popular – detailed • Crush Step 2 – Very Popular – very general • Main Focus of test: • Internal Medicine – As pathology was to Step 1 • OB/GYN & Pediatrics – We typically perform well here • Surgery (subspecialties) – Use Qbank for review • *Neurology/Biostats – Fill in your knowledge gaps. • *Psychiatry – First Aid for Psychiatry

  6. When to Take Step 2 CS • Note MUSOM “sit by” date!
