I have a lot of research planned for this summer and know I am not going into pediatrics, but I also need to destroy Step 2. Is it possible to kick butt on Step 2 without my pediatrics rotation if I take one month off to study? What do you guys think? Thanks a lot!
 
Absolutely. I took step 2 without paeds and did just fine. Questions were the bread & butter of paeds: HSP, croup, epiglot., cystic fibrosis, developmental milestones, etc etc. All the paeds questions I had were right from FA and UW...make sure you know it cold 🙂

good luck!
