Hey everyone, I'm a 3rd year MD student who has recently become interested in neurology. I'm at a low to mid tier allopathic school which does not offer a neurology clerkship so I will have to take it during the beginning of my 4th year. I've currently secured a neurology clerkship at a good program in August and my school has advised me to take my step 2 in July.
Because I will only have taken 1 neurology rotation by September I will only have one letter or recommendation when eras opens. I was wondering If I should move my step 2 to September and have 2 neuro related rotations in July and August. I received a 244 on my step 1 and my grades have been a mix of honors and high passes.
So my question is would it be more beneficial for me to have that extra neuro rotation in before eras or have my step 2 completed already?
Thank you!
