Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all MS2 students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.
We hope you had a restful winter break! As you begin your STEP 1 dedicated period, make sure you have a weekly schedule with at least one full day off. Folks usually study for 8 – 10 hours daily but do what is best for you! Make sure to check in with your support system as this time can be hard. Once you take the exam, use the rest of your break to relax and do the things you love, prioritizing your well-being before clerkships. Good luck everyone!
