Ready, Set, Go

Today is my official start for USMLE Board's studying. Yesterday was a half day of studying. The USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) Step 1 - I will be taking on June 12th. This is a major test (8 hrs) in my becoming a doctor. Not only do I have to pass it to be able to practice someday, but it also plays a role in the competitiveness of my application to residency - which includes specialty selection as well as location (ahem...me wanting to go back to Cali). There' s a lot on the line for this exam. #1 - Pass, #2 if possible do well. I know - seems pretty obvious.


So for the next 4 weeks or so - I will be trying to relearn the first 2 years of medical school!

Arsenal of information to cram into my head by June 12th?
