Hi everyone!
I'm a new member here. I'm a European medical student and I really need your advice on whether I should go for the USMLE or not.
I'm a 4th-year medical student (6 years are needed in my country to finish med school) and I'm thinking of preparing myself for the USMLE step1.
I'm not sure if I'm going to work in the US after I get my degree, but my professors suggest that I give it a shot as an undergraduate. What do I mean by that? Well, they believe that even if I'm going to work outside the US, e.g. in Europe, having the USMLE certificate really boosts your CV and indicates that you possess and can apply medical knowledge.
What do you think? Do you believe that USMLE is worth the money and the time even if I'm not interested in working in the US?
(I also need help with choosing the right review app and comprehensive sources, but I'm gonna include this in another post! )
Thank you all!
