I was discussing this on the gen residency issue thread, but thought it would be pertinent here as well. Many of us starting path will have to take step 3 in their intern year, and i was wondering if people had thoughts, esp. those who finished their intern or who are pathologists:
1. When is a good time to take it, usually the beg. of intern year is roughest - new adjustments, having to learn a mountain of new data etc.
2. Does path actually aid you in step 3, i heard it's basically like step 2 - all clinical/the next step business so it would seem path would not help
3. Any good resources/review books to use/recommendations
4. How hard is step 3 in comparison to step 2?
thanks.
