Step 1 Scores for each specialty

[Terpskins99]

What you said makes a ton of sense. To me it seems like pathology and psychiatry are the 2 fields that one has to absolutely love to go into. I guess path just has some better test takers.

I think it has more to do with how much path is tested on Step 1.

If you're a rockstar in pathology, chances are boards will be a piece of cake. (heheh, huuuuge generalization here.)

I am quite suprised that diagnostic radiology has surpassed ortho this year. I guess I knew it was coming since it is a lifestyle residency and all.

I thought that was the chart from last year...

If this is indeed the report from 2008, is there a link?

Nah, it's 2007 data. I think the most recent report comes out sometime in the fall, but don't remember for sure.

It is also sick, the amount of knowledge that a seasoned pathologist has.

you mean, Goljan?

I have a window! It's the radiologists who are in the basement.

Naw, they aren't in the basement......they are in the spare closets scattered sparingly throughout the hospital.

The basement is too spacious and well lit.

LOL... isn't it funny that a so-called "lifestyle specialty" consists of an entire life spent underground with no windows or sunlight?
