revising my usmle step 3 study schedule, again
Thursday, February 25th, 2010allright. i’ve made several plans that have all fallen through. this is going to be the final commitment. i’m now in my second year of residency. i have 16 months left before graduating residency.
getting your state license can take a long time, sometimes 6 months or more. so if i want to work right outside of residency, i should apply for a license by december of 2010.
now, in order to apply for a license, you have to complete step 3 and pass. it takes a couple months to find out your score. and factor in if you fail, you need to retake it. so i should take the test no later than september 2010.
i’ve always had dedicated study time when taking any of the USMLE steps. meaning i didn’t work or do any clinical rotations during the time i was studying. i even flew to vietnam to study for one month in solitude for step 2 ck. but this time for step 3, i have my residency responsibilities to uphold. which means i only have a couple hours a day to study. it’s nerve racking for me. but im hoping it will all be okay.
so this is my plan :
feb, mar, apr – read
may, jun, jul – qbanks
aug – review
sep – take exam
wish me luck !
