Any of you take your Step 3 during yoru PGY2 year (first year of rehab) and if so, was it problematic? I'm sure it's easier to get done during the prelim year, but just wondering.

Interesting enough, I'm in that predicament right now. I could take it in 2 weeks or postpone it (been busy with other things). I'm leaning towards postponing mine but obviously taking it during your intern year makes the most sense since you're constantly around the breadth of medicine.

My program actually requires PGY1s to take it before the end of their intern year...unless you come in as a PGY2 (we're categorical). This reason being that the longer you put it off, the less time you're going to putting toward learning Physiatry.

Same here. Besides it would be a pain to have to read OB/GYN and Peds as a PGY4.
