Well I guess this is the new plan. Yeah that’s what I think you have to do. I would take by end of January and schedule a soft rotation in dec plus a month of vacation. You also need a gas rotation in the first half of the year so you can get a letter for aways. The other thing you need to do is take COMLEX/step 1 early in dedicated. As soon as you are reasonably assured of a pass you take it, then use the rest of dedicated to get a head start on step 2.
I have to say I think this plan is gonna work out poorly for most DOs tho. I am already feeling bad for you guys. Cause the above plan is what I would try to do if I was DO for 2024, and I can see it burning out students quickly. Peeps, get into MD or just accept that primary care is likely and let the scores play out how they will.
