Hey all,

How much parasitology is on Step 1? Are life cycles a waste of time? Thanks!

With the exception of malaria, life cycles are pretty low yield, if any at all. Is one or two points worth the hours of memorization?

I had two worm questions on my step 1 and although I don't remember them exactly, one dealt with diagnosing an infection and the other one dealt with pharmacology (drug choice or mechanism of drug action)
