Let the Boards Begin

March 29th, 2005

Medical school is finally over.

Sort of. The first two years — the “pre-clinical years” — are now essentially over (except for one final cumulative exam, which is no reason to worry).

And now that our Skin test is over, which in reality was more of a microbiology test, it’s time to focus exclusively on studying for the boards (USMLE step 1). Not quite exclusively actually…we still have Integrated Cases for 4 hours/day for 3 days of the week, ICM on Thursday mornings still, and a full day of review sessions on Friday. Add to that several absurd ICM workshops on “Ethics” (haven’t we had this topic shoved down our throats for the past 2 years already?) and mandatory Basic Life Support training (aka CPR), and I think it’s safe to say that the school is trying to make sure we don’t have any time to study.

Anyway…12 weeks until the boards.
