Thanks for the info sir Pls can u share ur contact? I would like to ask you some more questions...here is mine 08030819686 practicalclass:
Hello everyone. This post is to provide info for some1 out there. (N.B: it may contain lots of shorthand. Pardon me)
In re: to writing USMLE, its doable and achievable but you must be prepared. Things to plan 4:
- Deciding when to write (it's best to write STEP 1 while still in Med School say after doing Path& Pharm). Though dis depends on availability of funds
- To start with, you need to register for ECFMG certification with $75, Step 1 is $910+ Surcharge fee if testing outside USA. These fees usually increases like every 2 years.
- Strategize ur studies. D curriculum is SLIGHTLY different 4rm Africa's Med Edu. (You know they see some non-tropical diseases).
- First Aid text is a must have as well as Qbanks. As you study, revise with Qbanks. D NBME Qbank is a strategic tool (U can practice the current ones online for a certain amount...either 1month subs, 3 month, etc.
-You can take Step 1 or 2 non-sequentially but note that Step 1 is bulky (days why you need to plan ur time).
- Build ur confidence with mastering of >80% of the exam content. Its possible as long as u lay ur hands on the right materials.
- If you have the money, you can get the Kaplan videos (Kaplan just takes it time to explain in details the exam materials e.g explaining in details how pressure changes in heart using Frank-Sterling or blood flow following Fick's principle. So the Kaplan videos are lengthy.)
- Their is a visa type specific for Immigrant Drs as long as you get ECFMG certified after passing Step 1&2. I think their is a special VISA to come write Step 2 CS too.
- Registering for the exams is pretty straight forward especially if ur med school is recognised by ECFMG. Most accredited Federal govt schools are and maybe one or two private schools. Its available on the ECFMG website. If the school is not yet recognised by ECFMG but accredited, you can still register #dont knw d steps though
All the best. |
