The term "intern" in the US is used to refer to the first year of graduate medical education. Your status says medical student, so I suspect you are an FMG doing a government mandated intern year required for graduation.

In general USMLE Step 1 is most important because all students will have taken it at the time of application; not all students have taken Step 2. Therefore, Step 1 is the great equalizer. However, you should do as well as you can on both examinations, regardless of the specialty you're applying for.
