Now that STEP 1 is P/F, it seems the most important factors to getting into residencies are now: clerkship grades, STEP 2, research, LOR's, and audition internships.
So it seems out of these five factors, 4 of them rely on my performance in 3rd and 4th year. I will be attending a T15 so I will search for research opportunities during my first two years.
However, my question is: What can I do during my first two years to help prepare me for clerkships and STEP 2 now that STEP 1 is P/F? Will studying hard during these first two years and ensuring I have a great foundation of medical knowledge and clinical skills knowledge help me?
I just feel like I don't know what to focus on during my first two years because it used to be STEP 1 but now that STEP 1 is P/F, I don't know anymore.
