No fruit after a search...
I have only seen rhythm strips on QBANK, CT Comlex practice and Kaplan. Are there 12 leads on the USMLE or COMLEX Step I?
Thanks-

COMLEX I - count on see several 12 leads.

USMLE I - some strips but stuff learned in physiology class, not clinical dysrhythmias.

I had a clinical dysrhythmia on my USMLE Step 1 exam. Had no clue what it was then...guess it could have been an experimental question. However that was a couple of years ago now. Just wanted to provide my experience for context. After all it was one 12 lead out of ALL the questions (and so quite insignificant) at that.

Agree with the above. I had at least 3 (that I remember) 12 leads on COMLEX I, but I don't remember seeing anything of the sort on USMLE I.

Of course, this may all change now that COMLEX will be computerized.

cheers...
