Are the Tanner Stages in Step 1 or 2? And if in Step 1, how do they approach the question? Thanks. 😎

I don't think they are on Step 1, definitely on Step 2 since it will be covered in Peds, Family Med etc...

tanner is discussed in BRS behavioral so i'd consider it fair game.

It was mentioned once or twice on my step 1 exam, but not as a direct question (i.e, they didn't ask "here's a description, what's the tanner stage?). It was only given in addition to other information to help in the presentation of a case.

tanner stages are important for step 1, you should know what they are.

I thought I heard that someone had Tanner on their step 1, so I just wanted to make sure. I'll cover the charts in Current Pediatric Diag. and Treatment and hope that's all. plus I have BRS behavioral too. 😎 Thanks

I guess I was wrong 😕 . I figure that if you do see them at all, however, they will be mentioned within the clinical vignette as Stinger86 mentioned. Sorry if I misled at all, I just never came across them except while working on the peds ward.

what grade is assigned to the Tanner variant in which pubic hair grows on the dorsal aspect of the feet?

 

[nuclearrabbit77]

that's called hobbit feet.

i've wondered..if you did a hair graft of a pubic follicle to another area...would it still retain it's unique characteristics?

I got a question with Tanner stages used as part of the description. I would look them over to refresh your memory
