Just now, I was reading my school's USMLE Board Step 1 study strategies. Not only are we second-year med students expected to keep up with school, we have to prepare for the hair-raising USMLE test on top of that. That means we must read our thick syllabi as well as a bunch of review books--combined, those materials probably weigh more than I. What is worse, our beloved Dr. Costanzo, an expert on individualized Board prep, retired last year. I am just now beginning to realize the enormity of our loss. I can feel the bubbles of stress welling up within me, even though the Board test is about 10 months away (only 10 months away!?).
OH no! Must trust must trust... in God.
Some of the MS3s told us just scrap the syllabi and study off First Aid - if you know it well enough for boards, you'll know it well enough for the class. Hopefully that translates for your classes as well!
