Saw something on Emory's website about step 2 being a requirement to apply? Anyone know about this or does it mean that I have to pass step 2 before starting PGY2?
thanks

Amen!SLUsagar said:i'd still say though that if your step 1 was pretty decent, just ride it, and enjoy your fourth year, match, and then pseudo-worry about passing step 2 (i.e. just study 2 weeks).
I don't think there will be some drastic upheaval in the application process all of a sudden this year. Sure, some programs may want to see you take step 2 earlier but this should be explicitly communicated to you (via email, via their program website, cards attached to stinky flowers, etc.).beary said:There is no way I will have taken Step 2 before I apply. I am not worried about it (though maybe I should be ).
you know...i had an elaborate response all typed out...then SDN crashed.beary said:Because of the way my program is scheduled, I will not have all of my core clerkships done by the time I take step 2. Basically, I will not have time for both ob/gyn and surgery - only one. (And will also have had medicine, peds, psych, etc.) Which one is better to put off until after step 2?

beary said:Thanks......Andy for your advice. Things are really clear for me now.
I don't think either one of them will be near test time. Right now I have surgery scheduled in August and ob/gyn in April (my very last rotation in med school!) I will probably take step 2 in March since we have to get the scores back before graduation.
