So its the end of January, and I've finally started prep. One of the hardest parts is simply figuring out what to study. Everyone has they're own scheme. I live with 3 other med students and we are all doing different methods. I chose to make First Aid my number uno guide. I also enrolled in the Kaplan USMLE 1 board prep program. I've tried to tackle the material in a subject manner approach. By this I mean, I'm approaching board prep by subject (i.e. GI, Cardio, Resp, Nervous...) So here are my steps in tackling subjects.
Step 1: Stream all the kaplan videos and take notes in the books they provided
Step 2: Read over and study the Kaplan material
Step 3: Put additional information into First Aid
Step 4: Read over Goljan Pathology notes
Step 5: Transfer all Goljan additions into First Aid
My plan is to try and get through at least 2 subjects a month. I let you know how that goes...
