boards

So I recently started seeing someone who I have been friends with for a while. We are both going to medical school together and are finishing up our third year. He always says how compatible we are, we also similar goals and values in terms of our career, family and goals. He always makes subtle...

Hi, Everyone! I’m a Nicu Fellow looking to get advice on how to study for Neonatology Boards. I just took the SITE exam and felt it was really hard. I would love to have some insight on how to plan studying and what resources to use? Is Brodsky the best review book? Do we have other question...

Hi Everyone, My partner recently completed residency and just finished her initial board certification exam. I think this is relevant to residents and current attendings because it highlights some issues with board certification and the pressures and culture of this profession. I hope we can...

I'm taking the AP boards on the first week of the window (this upcoming Monday) and CP one week after. Any last second wisdom anyone wants to impart? I'm feeling quite chill for AP, so it's more a question of practical tips for the day or whatever.

I've been studying Cheng-Ching since about PGY2. I created the Anki deck for that. Granted, I never learned child neurology or psychiatry. My RITE scores went from 63% to 72% to 74% (65th %ile among PGY4s). I had fallen behind in my studying with my most recent test but finally studied some of...

Some physician graduates have been urged to complete Step 3 before applying for internship or residency but is Step 3 going away? Since USMLE Step 2 CS has been discontinued, should USMLE Step 3 be the next board exam to be discontinued? https://www.usmle.org/announcements/?ContentId=309...

Hi all, I am hesitant to write about this because I really don't need any negativity right now, but I just received my COMLEX Level 1 score and it was way lower than I thought (under 500). I'm pretty disappointed, especially since my predicted was MUCH higher. I'm thinking of doing OB and am...

I’m not a good student. I’ve gotten nearly straight C and low C’s at that. I’m leaning towards giving up the dissection work study (20 hours/week) and putting my efforts towards getting some extra board study in as well as making sure I have time to relax. I didn’t take time for myself over...

Hi all, I am stuck on a particular question while studying for the Canadian dental board exam, does anybody have any thoughts on this one? A survey of the master cast shows that the 3.5 and 3.7 abutments for a fixed partial denture have different paths of insertion with respect to 3.7. A...

Hey everyone! So I just took NBME 20 last week (provided by my school) and I was pleasantly surprised by my grade (215). The reason I was surprised is that I have done virtually no review to date, although I have taken every block very seriously so far, scoring in the top 10 percent or of my...

Anyone have recommendations for how to study neurology that's not just read up on your patients? I have a localization book that has basic information on diseases as well, but I don't do well just reading to learn. Are there any good flashcards or question banks people use? I'm only a PGY-2...

So I scored pretty low on COMLEX 1 (under 500) and was wondering if I should bust my butt during my third year and take Step 1 to make up for it (which is extremely difficult in itself) or if I should just focus on COMLEX 2 and try and do really well on it. Say I get upper 500s or above, will...

Hey all, I have been working at a VA in California for the last couple years. I am wondering if I will need to take a re-certification board exam in a few years. No one has said anything about boards, and I never received a contract with information about it being required to maintain...

I go to a DO school and have failed the COMLEX twice with a 375 the first time and a 393 the second time. I took it for the third and final time yesterday and came out feeling like I bombed. If I don't pass this time, I will get dismissed from school. I was getting 70s and 80s on combank, and...

Anyone recently taken the DP subspecialty boards care to weigh in on advice for studying? Books used? Courses? Was it harder than you thought or easier? Advice appreciated!

anyone scheduled for spring oral ABEM boards interested in a Skype/FaceTime partner for case review?

How much responsibility does an optometry school or any professional school bare in preparing their students to pass national boards??? Why am I asking. Few weeks ago there was a debate online from IAUPR about who bares the blame for low board pass rates and when I saw low I mean 40% for NBEO...

Did anyone have a bad CCS experience and still pass? It would help me a lot to know that other people had issues solving multiple cases and maybe ran out of time. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to check out my post. I am applying to dental school, but I have some demerits going against me that I wanted to clear up before making any big decisions. Most dental school applications ask a question along the lines of: Have you ever been convicted...

Hello everyone, So I’m in my 4th year in a US optometry school wanting to return home to Ontario to work. I really don’t want to pay 6,000 dollars to take the OEBC when the NBEO can be used as it’s equivalent in BC and Montreal and is required to graduate anyways. Can somebody please help...

Has anyone used Firecracker recently who can comment on how they liked it? I feel like given my learning style I would enjoy it but at the same time I have never used pre-made flashcards before and do not know if I would like that aspect. Any comments on the program would be appreciated.

I'm an OMS-II now, gearing up to study for the upcoming COMLEX/USMLE. At this point, I am planning to take the USMLE. However, yesterday, an Instagram famous DO physician with almost a following of 40K posted on her story about how DO students should just stick with taking one exam, especially...

Does anybody know how long it usually takes for the MI state board to process your pharmacist application and verify your eligibility to sit for the boards? I submitted my application a long time ago, yet it still says "eligibility requested" on the NABP website. According to the MI health...
