USMLE 2018 Step 2: LECTURE NOTES As any medical student knows, the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam is a grueling set of tests that you must pass to practice medicine professionally in the U.S. If you’re looking past Step 1 to what lies ahead, understanding the structure and content of the USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) will help you approach this next hurdle with confidence. What Step 2 CK Is Step 2 CK assesses a medical student’s ability to apply science knowledge in a clinical setting. It is a multiple-choice, computer-based examination that lasts about nine hours over the course of a single day. The content covers two primary areas of knowledge — physician tasks and disease categories. When You Should Take Step 2 CK The best time to tackle this next assessment is when clinical science knowledge is still fresh in your mind — and when you also have enough time in your schedule to study properly. Since Step 2 CK generally requires less preparation than Step 1, most medical sc...

USMLE STEP 3: MASTER THE BOARDS About the Step 3 Exam The USMLE© Step 3 is the last in a series of 3 USMLE examinations that all physicians applying for a license to practice medicine in the United States are required to pass.

This test is not merely a more advanced and detailed version of the Step 2 CK or CS exams. Understanding this concept is key to this challenging exam. Step 3 tests whether a physician not only can assimilate data and diagnose clinical conditions but also has acquired the ability to make clinical decisions about patient management in a way that ensures appropriate management in an unsupervised setting. In addition, Step 3 will test your understanding of basic science correlations. How can the Step 3 test all first-year interns if they are working ...

USMLE 2018 STEP 1: First Aid Three Biggest Mistakes Students Make with First Aid for USMLE Step 1 We all know a review book is a must for the USMLE. Our review book of choice here at MST is First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, commonly referred to as “First Aid.” This is no surprise, as it is the most commonly used review book for the USMLE—not just nationally but worldwide. In fact, almost every single student taking USMLE Step 1 uses this book to prepare. But if EVERYONE is using this book, why are the results among students so varied? Here we’ve identified the 3 biggest mistakes med students make with First Aid, because the question isn’t whether to use First Aid (which everyone does), but how to use First Aid correctly. 1. Not Starting First Aid Early Enough Some students come to us saying they are “saving” First Aid for their dedicated study time a few weeks before the exam. Although First Aid is a high-yield review book, the 2014 edition has 583 pages of material! No one can co...
