step 2 CS - are u kidding?!


hey salaamz..
i just took the step 2 clinical skills in philly yesterday, and all i have to say is, are you kidding?!! 12 patient encounters, 8 hours. i can't say it was a waste of time, b/c it really is like seeing pts in real life, but its just a LOOONG day. we probably just shoulda done more of that in med school and then wouldn't have needed this. some comments/questions were totally funny though, like "am i going to die doctor?". also, i can't believe i had to pay $950 for it, plus traveling expenses. why couldn't they have just made this requirement one yr later?!!!! anyway, for you underclassmen/women...something to look fwd to ;)

hey salaamz faith...i actually was just coming back from DC the sunday night before the exam, so i didn't really prepare much at all. I did actually glance through first aid for the step 2 cs, but only a few minicases, and that's about it. i think the mini cases were actually really beneficial in terms of just thinking about differentials. good luck!
