Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all students and includes first-generation and BIPOC student lenses.
Welcome back! Mind, Brain and Behavior (MBB) is a rigorous block, so make sure this is your main focus. In the background, try to sprinkle in some Step 1 prep this fall. A good option is to review Sketchy pharm and micro or create Anki cards based on missed practice questions to review over the quarter.
While Step 1 is Pass/Fail, approach the exam as if it were scored. A lot of concepts will show up again on Step 2, subject exams, and on the wards. Building a strong foundation of knowledge early in your career will lighten the load down the line! If you benefit from a structured learning environment, consider attending the weekly group tutoring sessions specifically for Step 1.
