P/F step 1 is a lot more appropriate considering CK is more based on the knowledge required for residency. I don't think memorizing glycogen storage genes or biochem is necessarily relevant for being a good doctor.
@thesneakygamer4343 2 жыл бұрын
I thought so as well but now that I am studying for CK I have seen how so much of these questions are vague and the answers are very debatable. One thing that was nice was that if you did bad on step 1 you could make up for it with CK, now that isn’t an option

Preparing for Step 2 now and honestly, If I didn't grind my ass off to get the score I got on Step 1, I don't think I would be nearly as comfortable with the concepts being tested on Step 2. Step 1 is just laying the foundation for Step 2. If you barely pass step 1, you're probably barely going to pass step 2 unless you crank up the studying in your 3rd year and let me tell you from experience, studying during 3rd year is TOUGH. Coming home after working and studying all night is NOT easy. The lack of motivation is the hardest part tbh. Just don't feel like this was the right move.

The funny thing is.. specialities that require the highest scores in these exams are not necessarily the hardest as to require the “brainiest” of applicants.. in fact, they’re actually the easiest specialties, they just are the specialties that make the most MONEY with the least amount of effort possible. Oh yes.. it all boils down to money. I’m happy step 1 is a pass/fail now because those easy specialties will be partially stripped off the power to take only the supposedly “smartest applicants” although I’m sure they’ll find some other artificial barrier for their “prestigious” money-making specialty.

STEP 2 CS isn't a thing anymore! My experience as an M2 that has taken STEP 1 P/F is that it is not a very stressful period if you have been preparing for the test throughout pre-clinicals. However, besides just loading all the stress on STEP 2, you also have to consider the amount of extracurricular activities that might be required to stand out, which are sometimes not entirely tied to medicine (imo this would increase burnout even more). I think it'll devolve into how the pre-med journey of box checking for "interesting experiences" and research.

Super random, but I would be very grateful if you took the time to answer. I’m a freshmen pre-med. I’m currently trying to figure out what I want my plan to be for extracurricular (work, research, etc). I’m currently working as a phlebotomist at a plasma donation clinic. I am planning on getting my EMT certs this weekend with the intention of working as a physician-substitute at my current clinic where I’ll give physicals to new donors to assess their ability to donate. I also have my CNA. Do you have any advice on moving forward with my extracurriculars? Research is essentially required, so do you have any advice on what I should pursue for work? Rec letters are important, which I am currently planning on getting from scribing. Would also like to volunteer as an emt. This was super disorganized, but any advice would be appreciated. TLDR: Pre-med. Don’t want to waste time with extracurriculars that won’t help. What are the best jobs/experience/volunteer opportunists for med applications?
@Benboy887 2 жыл бұрын
@@semajo.9514 First, I think it's important to gauge what types of schools you want to end up at. Do you want to be at a top 30 school which likely requires a lot of research? Research isn't necessarily required, it is encouraged, especially for certain schools. Reach out to your undergraduate professors if research interests you, that's what I did. Extracurriculars: You seem to be building up solid clinical extracurriculars and getting your EMT cert would add even more valuable experience! Besides clinical experience, you should look for some sort of leadership position either in a club, or a position you could get in your local community (i.e. anything non-clinical). I volunteered in several leadership positions in my local church which was more than an enough, I'm hot sure if you have that option as well. EDIT: Strongly recommend checking out reddit on the r/premed for advice from many premeds, admitted, students, medical students, residents, and attendings. It got me through the whole process.

They should make more dermatology residencies so their competitiveness goes down. Just ask the old dermatologists that are retiring now and if they are honest they will tell you this was one of the easiest residencies to get into back in the day. This whole "$kin is my Pa$$ion" crap came later when students found out how much money they could make basically looking at zits and rashes. Oh yeah, and Mohs surgery helped alot too. You basically have the "best students" in all of medicine clamoring over each other to prescribe zit cream. It's nonsense and crazy. I can understand competitiveness in surgery residencies but not in dermatology, it shouldn't take 3 months to see a zit doctor.

I took Step 1 last week as a pass fail exam. Honestly I think it puts more pressure on me as a student because instead of being able to partially make up for a lower step 1 score with a really good step 2 score we now only have one shot to get a good score. I know step 1 was always weighted more heavily but it still gave some opportunity to improve and make up for a lower score. Also I think we all are super stressed trying to figure out how to stand out. From what I have seen the step 2 scores are less stratified and typically higher overall so honestly the only way to stand out is research + extracurriculars + going to a competitive med school + clerkship grades. Also most of us won't be getting a step 2 score until after finishing 3rd year so it is going to be really difficult to plan to apply for specialties that may or may not be more competitive without having any idea of what step 2 score we are going to get. I feel like in the past having a step 1 score helped people to narrow down their options more and what they had a chance of matching. Anyways thanks for speaking on this topic!

all this is going to do really (in my opinion) is be helpful to Ivy League MD students and students in "prestigious" universities. So it reduces the USMLEs score importance and basically just helps already privileged students. It's so dumb in my opinion. But hey, if you get a ridiculous step 2 score like 278 or so, I'd say any program would want to interview you. But still; it just puts more emphasis on your medical schools status which is wrong on so many levels as it has less to do with merit anymore.

It definitely is scary thinking about how STEP 2 is now the big deciding factor especially when considering that the exam is taken at the end of M3. Personally, I’m shooting for ENT and it’s scary thinking that my STEP 2 score could potentially be not good enough and I’d then have to scramble and figure out what other specialty I’d be interested in. That would just make the match process a lot more stressful.

Step 1 going P/F has me super stressed about deciding on a specialty. I am finishing up my 2nd year now, taking step in June, and am still not sure what specialty I want. Not having a score for step 1 means we don’t have the guidance from that on what is still realistic to pursue. I just don’t want to go after a competitive specialty only to have my step 2 score come back after applying and not be enough.

I think this P/F change might still negatively affect students who are not good test-takers. Before, you already know what specialties you're aiming for after 2nd year based on step 1 score. But now with a barely pass on step 1, students, especially undecided ones, would still aim for more competitive specialties during their clinical years until reality hits when their Step 2 scores aren't good enough. I'd be so panicked trying to switch specialties at the last minutes
@DONQUIIIXOTE 2 жыл бұрын
I think this can be negated somewhat by studying your hardest (which most of us are doing anyways especially if you’re historically not a great test taker) then taking practice tests to approximate your actual performance on step (some tests offer the three digit score still, but you can approximate your score based on the EPC). Then base your speciality ambitions on that. Barring a disastrous actual test day performance this would allow you to see where you stand on the competitiveness scale test wise.

Of greater concern to me is this new methodology in residency application where you essentially super like certain programs where they know you’re highly considering them. The fear is that you apply to 50 programs, star 30 of them, then never hear back from the other 20-all of which you would have interviewed at previously and considered. Now you may not hear back because you didn’t favorite them? It’s more stress to a stressful process. It’s annoying. Also, very important is the fact that step 1 was a major source of depression and caused many unfortunate med students to end their lives. It’s sad but true. Luckily, the rates of medical student self-harm goes down.

I don't even care about Step 1 being P/F. My issue is that now people may get screwed if they do badly on Step 2 CK. If you planned on going into Ortho and end up with a 220 on CK, you now have to start thinking about an alternate career and at this point you're already close to graduation. I understand the reasoning for Step 1 p/f but now everything just shifted onto Step 2 CK and people having to take an extra year or people having to switch plans later in the process towards graduation. Also, now I would place higher priority in attending a big name medschool if I were premed because letter of rec would be more important. A Pass on Step 1 from UCSF student is seen better than a Pass from a student from Texas Tech University trying to go into neurosurgery.

If the idea from the USMLE was for both exams not to be used to ranking, then they should also make step 2 P/F to be consistent. No use to have one scored and one P/F because its only logical that people will only care about the scored test. I suspect they'll move step 2 to P/F within a few years depending how this goes.
@Dliciousization 2 жыл бұрын
I feel like the change was made in good faith, but ultimately as you said doesn't change anything. It's kicking the bucket down the line to something else. The main problem is that residency spots can be incredibly competitive to get despite us being in the middle of a doctor shortage, and how residency slots want the "best" students. So they'll always use metrics that could suggest that a student is the "best". If it isn't board exam scores, it'll be what medical school you went to. It may even be MCAT scores if all of medical school becomes p/f. There really isn't a way to win here unfortunately, which feels awful since this change seems to be a shift to help make the process better for up and coming doctors.

I want to give my take. I took step 1 pass fail, I completely revamped my form of studying during dedicated. My classmates and I were very collaborative and helpful to one another. Because of these changes I made in my studying, I believe I am better prepared to face the beast that will be step 2. Step 1 was sort of a primer for me, it showed me the errors I was making in my study habits, that I should have started earlier, used picture mnemonics and even made my own, etc. In summary, the first test has helped me learn HOW TO study for boards exams. Which will set me up for success going into step 2 prep. So yes, the stress has shifted onto a new exam, but I certainly feel MUCH better prepared for how I will approach this stress You only really find what works for you when youve actually applied it and seen success with it.

The fact that students couldn't retake the USMLE Step 1 once they passed it was problematic. E.g., one's average score could fall within a range of 244 - 250. If that person got a relatively bad pool of questions and were also unlucky in guessing, they could easily score a 244. If the opposite happened, they could easily score a 250. This sort of difference was enough to determine whether or not one could get into a highly competitive residency/specialty. Randomness was too impactful! I like that USMLE Step 1 is now truly P/F; however, other changes need to be made. We must determine the most important factors that can be used to divide students into residencies based on estimated future success while eliminating arbitrariness and randomness. I feel that a potentially good remedy to the issue of matching into residency could be one that utilizes analyses and evaluations specific to each specialty; extensive research would need to be performed to determine what unique evaluations and analyzes would be the most effective, efficient, and realistic indicators of success for each specialty. If you are reading this and would like to answer: What do you think could be potential solutions to the current problems faced when determining how students match into residencies? What are your opinions on my views?

Yeah this is bad IMO. This will just give students who have a plethora of research opportunities better chances of matching at better programs (ie. students at top schools will have easier times matching, especially to competitive specialities). Third year students will even be less interested in clinical medicine because they'll be more focused on clerkship grades (shelves) and studying for Step 2. This will all lead to students being less prepared and more burnt out (as they aren't spending enough time in the hospital to know what specialities are really like). Not saying Step 1 scores is the answer, but doing this will make things worse. We will see how things are in 10 years. EDIT: I think your comments about Step 1 competition is over the top. My experience is obviously different than yours, but I never once saw or experienced somebody not helping/trying to sabotage somebody on Step 1. I mean alot specialities have hundreds/thousands of spots, helping your classmate won't really effect anything. You would think a med student could understand that math. Just sounds like your school selected shitty candidates or my school did an amazing job. Who knows.

Can I take the USMLE exam even if I haven't studied medicine in the US? Kind of important cause I think it has a higher value than my country's exam.

You have to be ECFMG certified, check in the WDOMS if your school is listed. If it is, then you can take the USMLE.

Mysteriously, once beyond the highly competitive college and medical school environments, physicians are generally collegial and cooperative. Docs have come to realization that the only people really looking out for their health and welfare are other docs.

The things about STEP 1 being pass/fail is that, it's not like medical Students are going to study THAT MUCH LESS for it just because it is pass/fail. Because if you happen to fail it then...you really won't get into a decent residency. So basically you will be studying almost as hard, but with none of the pay off.

As others have mentioned, turning USMLE Step 1 pass/fail has the intended or unintended consequences of hurting DO and IMG students in the match. If you are a DO or IMG student begin studying for Step 2 from day one and try to take Step 2 before the match to show you are "worthy". If you are not competitive for competitive specialties such as Derm, consider completing 2-3 years of internal medicine. The ability to take care of very sick patients is a desired commodity in specialties where those skills may be lacking.

Pass/Fail is good. Step 1 has never been a great indicator of one's ability to be an actual doctor. It was only setup in it's former form because of the chaos that was the residency-position offer process prior to the NRMP match. It's obvious that directors needed a way to delineate candidates when it was more common to give offers ~2 years prior to a student's graduation. The whole time they knew that a good score in basic sciences doesn't mean someone would be a good doctor. Step1 finally changing is a classic example of the lag/latency for systemic change in medicine, and what is actually dumb, is how long it took for the old guard to get out of the way. Step 1 should've been pass/fail right after the Match process/algorithm was solidified and "perfected," to the ability that it can be. So, at least 10 years ago. CK should've always been the lowest level metric used by residency programs. The application of science in a clinical setting is what it is to be a doctor... so yeah. Pass/Fail is good.

I'm not a med student. A former nurse. I find your channel very educational. I hear alot about these step exams. How stressed the already stressed student is. What's interesting is I've found just because they do so well on these exams doesn't mean there a great doctor. It's not cool that if your scores make it so u don't match in the field they want ? I think pass failed is best. So what now step 2 is the hardest? I just don't understand how these med schools work?

In my situation, my dad counseled me to get the best undergraduate degree possible. It didn’t matter what type of undergrad degree you got as long as you did good on your MCATs. Heck, you could get a four year degree in basket weaving and end up in medical school. I chose mechanical engineering as my undergraduate degree. Graduated with a 4.0. The reason why I chose mechanical engineering is because if something happened during medical school I could always fall back on my BSME. I can support a family with a BSME. Most doctors have degrees in the basic sciences. They drop out of medical school and they serve fries at McDonald’s. When I graduated medical school, step one and step two were very important. I put all my eggs in one basket and I knew that I would end up in the program of my choice in Europe which allowed me a double board certification in trauma and cardiothoracic medicine.
