Hi all - I just wanted to start a thread for those who are taking a year after finishing required graduation requirements for med school, but are taking a year to do an MBA or MPH or research or anything not clinical prior to residency in IM or a pre-lim year. I'll graduate officially next year though.
I don't want to lose the clinical knowledge I have learned - I'll do what I can to minimize this; I'll be busy during this 1 year, but during vacations, weekends maybe I can do what I can to keep my skills intact. What would work best?
-reading NEJM review articles?
-getting USMLE World step 3 access for the year? (am done w/ other steps)
-reviewing 3rd/4th year course materials regularly?
Just wanted some thoughts, I just worried about forgetting so much! But what I'm doing for a year is part of my career goal, so it will be worth it in the end.
Thanks!
