Could the 2021 step 1 be affected?
I know, I actual am interested too, but they said they wouldn't implement anything until they allow time for all parties involved to be aware its coming, so if it does fo p/f I don't think it will go into effect for a few year at the soonest, but I could be totally wrong.Meh, I am interested. They said they were going to announce in December.
Winter 2019-20 per their website: United States Medical Licensing Examination | Invitational Conference on USMLE Scoring
I went to one of the NBME update sessions at the most recent AAMC and you hear the groans when they announced that there was nothing to report (yet). The unsubstantiated rumor floating around was that the amount of support for P/F obtained during the open comment period was larger than anticipated. If true (which is a big if), that may have sent them back to the drawing board, which would result in dragging this whole process out even further.
If it goes P/F after I've trudged my way through Zanki reviews for 2 years, I'm going to riot.
I doubt anyone currently in med school would be affected. The preliminary timeline they had for changes spanned years.
YES FINALLYGood news, there's an update here: United States Medical Licensing Examination | USMLE Scoring
Great plan. I agree. I could see this making it harder to match derm and ortho, though. This is what progress looks like.Good news, there's an update here: United States Medical Licensing Examination | USMLE Scoring
I'm not so sure, it seem like ortho could actually become easier but derm will defiantly be harderGreat plan. I agree. I could see this making it harder to match derm and ortho, though. This is what progress looks like.
They'll just use Step 2 CK, which will be basically mandatory to apply to a competitive specialty.So if Step 1 goes P/F are PDs going to start using a sorting hat for residency slots?

ortho programs will replace Step 1 + bench with bench + squat
You really think ortho bros care about legs?
Clearly gonna be bench + 3*curl

You seriously gonna walk into the OR with chicken legs? Smh

This just means that class grades. shelf exams.. rotation evals have more of a say than just the one day board exams.
The gown covers up all manner of sins.
We know bro. We can sense the top heavy footsteps entering into the OR.
You seriously are gonna have problems with your ortho apps. Most places use bench*2+OHP*2+squat+DL+Step 1*2. No way you're getting in on toothpicksYou really think ortho bros care about legs?

I’m a first year medical student wanting to apply ortho, but I can only bench 115 lbs. Should I spend my free time doing research or weight lifting? Which would be the most high yield?You really think ortho bros care about legs?

Just do what I do. Collect data between sets.
Put these in your Excel columns:
"Number of babes mirin"
"Number of bros mirin"
"Number of nerds I intimidated"
This is extremely high yield.
