Does anyone have any recommendations for high-yield zanki subdecks for the IM clerkship if I'm short on time? There's renal, heme/onc, antibiotics, respiratory, biochem, etc.. Thanks!

Are you asking about the Step 1 deck or Step 2?

The step 2 deck is all UWorld and there aren't that many, so you probably zoom through the whole deck pretty quickly (don't do it before you finosh uworld though or it will ruin all the questions)

I'm asking about the step 1 deck!

Why would you study step 1 material for IM clerkship?

Why would you study step 1 material for IM clerkship?

I actually did so (via FC) and found it pretty helpful. Our NBME shelf ended up feeling more Step 1 style than Step 2 anyway, and there were definitely several questions that I got right only because I'd been helping a friend wth Step study during my IM rotation (our schedules are flexible, so some of my classmates are on rotations and others in Step dedicated).

Interesting. While I don't deny that there is some step 1-ish material on the IM shelf, I don't think it's worth it to straight up study step 1 material because there will be so much other useless stuff. But, to each his/her own.

I mean, disclaimer being that I haven't taken Step 1 yet, so any background Step study I do actually builds to a larger goal than just doing better on the shelf.
