The vestibular system isn't in first aid and so I was wondering if it was even worth studying for step 1? I know it's in BRS phys and high yield neuro but so far I've only gotten one uworld question on it and that wasn't even related to physiology, it was straight up path.

Thanks in advance!

i know that FA 2010 had a whole page dedicated to it.

i have both FA 2009 and 2011 and interestingly, they both don't have it. so.... i'm guessing it's not. i'm curious about this as well, but just wanted to at least let you know what the authors of FA thought...

I thought it was bizarre that they left it out since UW has a few questions on the ear (though not necessarily directly on the vestibular system). But it may just not be as high yield a topic as it used to be.

I don't remember if it was UW or my Step, but I definitely saw questions somewhere. LOL. And, I think it's definitely worth making a little effort to understand the vestibulocochlear system. It's one of that things that, IMO, really "sticks" once you learn it because it's such a logically organized organ.
