preclinical

I'm an M1 at a lower mid-tier school with pass/fail with internal rankings (which determine adjectives on Dean's letter to residency). I score pretty consistently in the low-mid 80%s on exams, which I would feel pretty good about given the pass/fail situation, except for the fact that the class...

Hey, so I start medical school next week, and currently, I'm doing a summer academic program at my school. Since the program started I've been stressing how to attack studying for these courses.

Hi all, I'm extremely happy about the school that I got accepted to. The school has a curriculum where we start our clerkships after a year and a half. I'm interested in what people people's opinion of this. Do the benefits of starting the rotations early out-weight the risk of cutting down...

Hi All- I wanted to get some general advice on using M1/M2 to my advantage when I'm interested in ortho. I recognize that doing well in classes, board prep, and rotations is my priority. However. When looking online for advice about maximizing preclinical years to match ortho, the spectrum runs...

I have tried to follow along this year with pathoma, FA, and some USMLERx questions, but it has been patchy. I really want to get serious about studying now. I...
