Hi,
I have been accepted to a MedSchool in Latin America and will start in August. I’m a little concerned about the USMLE and wondered if it would be worth it to use study guides (Kaplan/FirstAid) in conjunction with materials from my regular classes. If so, when should I start to use them? Our first year of courses is basic sciences (which saved me from having to think of PostBacc) together with:
Introduction to Morphofunction
Skin and Locomotive Apparatus
Research
Bio-statistics
EPI-INFO
Thought Development
History of Medicine
Self-esteem and Values
English.
I sincerely hope that I tested out of English, and several of the non-basic science courses seem a little fluffy. Perhaps, I should start looking at Kaplan/First Aid at the beginning of second year? Or, should I just focus on my course work?
I look forward to responses.
Best.
