Hey everyone,
I have a cush elective coming up in April (rural medicine where I know the preceptor) where I can use most of my time studying for Step II. The only rotation that I will not have had is surgery. Either those who have had surgery or those who have taken Step II, can I learn this material on my own for the purposes of the exam? I just recently had medicine and did well on the exam. I will have three uninterrupted weeks to study before I would have to sit for it.
My reasoning for wanting to do this, is basically to get it over with. I think I'll be more motivated to study now than right after surgery. Plus, I could concentrate more on away electives, letters, and my application. So what does everyone think? That much surgery on the exam that I need to see on my rotation vs. learning what I need to for the test??
Thanks
