Description: The United States Medical Licensing Examination, or USMLE, is a 3-part test designed to assess one’s medical knowledge and application of said knowledge to patient care. Step 1 is typically taken at the end of the second year of medical school and is followed by Step 2 CK at the end of the third year or sometime during the fourth year. Up until now, Step 1 has been arguably the most important test a future physician will ever take. If you wanted to match into a highly competitive specialty like dermatology or plastic surgery, for instance, but you didn’t score high enough on Step 1, you could pretty much kiss your dream specialty goodbye. Many medical students have had to completely change their career trajectory due to a low Step 1 score and pursue entirely different specialties than they had initially intended. As of January 2022, however, this will no longer be the case. USMLE Step 1 will be graded as pass/fail and will no longer be the primary determinant of one’s competitiveness as a residency applicant. So how is this change actually impacting the medical school experience? Let's find out. 🖋Accompanying Blog Post: medschoolinsiders.com/medical-student/step-1-pass-fail-and-med-school-experience 💌 Sign up for my weekly newsletter - medschoolinsiders.com/newsletter 🌍 Website - medschoolinsiders.com 📸 Instagram - instagram.com/medschoolinsiders 🐦 Twitter - twitter.com/medinsiders 🗣️ Facebook - facebook.com/medschoolinsiders 🎥 My Youtube Gear: kit.co/kevinjubbalmd 👀 Hand-Picked Productivity Tools: amazon.com/shop/medschoolinsiders 🎵My Study Playlist: open.spotify.com/user/1231934998/playlist/5joGbr1aQAIbMcJ9bOvJlk?si=iOAxgKNTQt-rrp1L8g-YWQ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Stress 04:26 Time-Allocation 06:32 DOs and IMGs LINKS FROM VIDEO: Medical School - 4 Years Explained: youtu.be/4RMN-C0ezzI USMLE Step 2CK - How to Crush It (265+): youtu.be/UFKbmD3HOok 5 Hardest Doctor Specialties | Most Competitive Residency Programs: youtu.be/yYWQClpEvRM #medicalschool #medstudent #usmle ==================== Disclaimer: Content of this video is my opinion and does not constitute medical advice.
