Once again, I wasn't going to make a journal for this exam right away, but I am finding myself having a very hard time getting much work in after I took my Step 2 CS on June 13, 2015. I would like to think overall CS went well and I can continue my journey towards applying for match this year.
Step 1 Exam Taken December 18, 2014; Passed 244.
Step 2 CK Exam Taken May 3, 2015; Passed 249.
Step 2 CS Exam Taken June 13, 2015; Passed.
Step 3 Exam; Will take soon after graduation early next year.
The purpose of this journal is self motivation and to document the work I do every day, so I can be more productive throughout my days.
PLAN FOR NOW:
1.) Read IM Section of MTB 3 first time through in 14 days. Roughly comes out to 20 pages a day.
2.) Read The ICU Book by Dr. Marino first time through in 10 days, 50 pages a day.
3.) Look up information on residency programs on FREIDA, 10 residency programs a day.
4.) Work on 3rd draft of personal statement.
RESIDENCY TIMELINE:
June: Look up Residency Programs
July: Submit LORs, Medical School Evaluation, Medical School transcript, ERAS token.
August: ERAS application, Application Profile, Personal Statement, Track supporting documents, FINALIZE application, application profile, personal statement, LOR authors in AAMCs MY ERAS.
September: NRMP registration. Deadline MSPE on September 15th, 2015.
October: Release of MSPEs.
If there is anything that I missed on the residency timeline?
Any help regarding that would be greatly appreciated.
Will update later.
EDIT1:
- Finished reading 20 pgs MTB 3.
On page 33/277.
- Looked into 12 programs for Residency. Will give these all a call in this upcoming week.
I have a feeling that things will be good and that everything will work out.
Will update later.
