@gamerEMdoc question for you-
In addition to SLOEs, are 3rd year clinical grades weighed heavily?
I'm in 3rd year now and scored > avg for EM on step1. But I've been scoring ~ avg on my shelf exams, despite good clinical evals and comments which has resulted in avg clinical grades so far (going to keep grinding to try to improve). I feel that I'm getting better clinically and I get good feedback, but I don't shine on NBME exams and I'm worried this will hurt me (I think sub-i's / SLOEs will be a much better measure of myself as a candidate than NBME exam scores).
thanks for the help
Weighted a little less than boards, important but not THAT important. SLOEs trump everything else.
