Starting clinical years after absence

[HamOnWholeWheat]

I was formerly a member of the class of 2007 at an east coast medical school, but took a leave of absence after 2nd year to pursue research. I've been out of game for two years, and I'll be re-entering with the class of 2009 this summer.

My questions are:
1) What should I be doing to prepare myself for the clinical years. My gut tells me not to spend a lot of time studying "Step 1" style material, but I'm not sure what I should be focusing on.

2) What materials would you recommend that would serve as good review materials as well as good shelf exam prep.

Thanks in advance for your help!
