JAMA consensus articles / Goljan

Members don't see this ad.

In Golan's audio lectures he mentions that two frequent sources for Step1 question writers are:

1. JAMA consensus articles
2. NEJM medical progress articles dealing with a general subject

In the NEJM website I found plenty of medical progress articles; however, on the JAMA website when I searched under "consensus articles" I didn't get relevant search results, only saw articles related to statistical methodology.

So, do these consensus articles go under another name? What's a better search term to find them?

BTW, I highly recommend Goljan audio lectures. The man is brilliant in tying everything together. I'm just listening to them as a "bonus" now while driving and at the gym, but I plan to do a serious listen again towards the end of my review with the audio transcripts in front of me.

lol reading this was funny.

And it would have been awesome if you were actually trolling. 🙂

lol wut

Are you really going to read all the JAMA consensus articles so you can get an extra 2 points on Step 1? If you really care UWorld usually references articles in their question answers if there are any they think are relevant.

I really don't think it should be too much trouble if you were reading all the JAMA issues since the start of M1. I think you're a little too late to the party.

everyone knows that this is how you truly get a 275+. You have to beat the usmle writers at their own game!

Better yet: write up a consensus article on a particular disorder, and see if an attending would help you publish it. If the USMLE writers use it, you are pretty much guaranteed to know the answer!

I was pimped on JAMA & NEJM articles by a gunner parent from a young age. Traumatized for life.
