Clinical Rotations and Step II

[Obnoxious Dad]

At your medical school could you pass Step 2 only with the knowledge gained on clinical rotations and without the benefit of study aids such as Step up to Medicine, First Aid and UWORLD?

These are what I see in my clinical rotations roughly 90% of the time

Family Medicine: Blood pressure checks, lipid checks, bronchitis
Pediatrics: Well check (without any meaning behind what I am doing), bronchitis, strep throat, rash

Internal Medicine: Same as family medicine. I'm lucky to go to the hospital once in a while to see a pneumonia or a chronic pancreatitis secondary to alcoholism

Surgery: I see paint dry and suture once in a while. I also write a few admission notes and orders.

Psychiatry: SIGECAPS and caffeine use

OBGYN: Annual well visits, measuring the uterus and using hte doppler ultrasound. I may see a C section once in a while.
