Advice

• • • • • Don’t over-resource yourself! Find what works for you and stick with it.

Consider Qbank subscription for third year.

▫ Can use for SHELF exams and Step 2 Carry something to read on rotations in downtime.

Don’t feel like you have to buy anything – there are many free resources through BioMed Library and online.

Find antibiogram at hospital.

• • • • Use DropBox to email yourself articles.

Choose 1-2 resources and study them thoroughly! I performed best on exams when I did this versus skipping around and using many different resources.

Consider getting apps on Kindle or other tablet – easier to read than on phone and sometimes cheaper.

Have fun! You are there to learn.

Good Luck!

See you on the Wards!
