Without a doubt, undeniably and truthfully, doing any clinical rotation will not only not help, it will actually HURT you in studying for Step 1. Step 1 is about basic science. Why things happen. Pathways and molecules, genetics and mechanisms.

Clerkships are about diagnosis, about choosing the next test, about choosing a treatment, often empirically. Thats it.

Take Step1 before clerkships.

I disagree, but this is a debate that will not be resolved any time soon.
