Can we explore scrapping the idea that all physicians must do research? Interpret & apply, absolutely. Produce it, maybe not so much. DO/PhD & MD/PhD programs exist for a reason. Physicians make great policy advocates, educators, business leaders, admin, innovators, etc. too!

@simplyserotonin Pick a QBank (Amboss, UWorld, Boards & Beyond). Begin practice M1 topic Qs now. Slowly incorporate M2 topic Qs. 6 months before planned STEP1, take NBME to check progress/areas to pull up. Make 6 month plan & stick to it. Consistency helped me be successful on STEP1.

@SydneyVangeli Population focus is definitely urban and/or underserved, so within the outskirts at least of a metropolitan area would be ideal. But I’d also be delighted with mid sized cities as well. I don’t feel drawn to true rural settings right now, but life could change.
