Hmm...I respect doctor fischer but these are his opinions And does not represent what majority of residency directors think. Someone who had a Step 1 score of 220 and then a step 2 score of 250 will be looked more favourable than someone who had a step 1 of 250 and a step 2 of 220. Because the first person showed perseverance in wanting to improve while the second person felt so confident and didn't want to improve. Program directors want to see that you can get better everyday! That's the essence of residency-Your ability to improve. The same can be said of someone who failed his step 1, and then went ahead to ace it in the 240's or 250's. My point is for anyone preparing for all USMLE to try to do better than the previous attempt. It's a huge advantage and can further strengthens the line of your personal statement that says: I'm someone who strives to get better, improve in anything I do, who believes the downfall of a man is not the end of his life etc.

I thought about this too, probably little to no ethics/communication, and a lot of single step/jump/direct questions and the occasional 2 step question probably.

You are just an amazing guy, I love you! A syrian medical student who passed step 1 with a 250+ score!

don't be foolish. He's nothing special. He did the qbanks carefully, associated the big picture and used first aid as a guide. Not to learn from. Buy Robbins 9th edition and read that along with your material

Thank you 🙏🏼

the world is so cruel

This interview came out when I started preparing for USMLE. I graduated from residency this year. I used to come back and watch this video every time I felt despair. You just have to perform! no other way around, no shortcuts.

Thank you

That was a very political answer. The question was which is most important. First step 3 is not taken until residency so that's out. So it's simple is step 1 or step 2 more important or are they equal? Does one say more than the other for your abilities as a doctor in their program?

One of my friend killed himself while in depression bcz of red flags he could qualify for residency. Tell me what other options for medical graduates ? To serve in restaurant or fill car tanks?

There are plenty of old graduates in USA due to their and they can’t back to your home country to practice and leaving their family here. If someone pass exams that means they have enough knowledge and three years residency is also learning phase.

Haha love this guy

If your graduation year is more than 10 years ago your chances of getting a residency spot are very low!

LOL i wouldve happily said that to her to get the spot. Although id feel like an ass the rest of my life

Red flags! A lot of graduates are suffering bcz of these. Stop ruin the future of old graduates

Wow, his attitude of talking is like as if he is a god. So arrogant. Yes people can fail and bad things can happen because we are human.

This guy is way to arrogant .. Sham

I think he's just being very honest. Everything is sugar coated during the interview process for residency but the truth is the field is becoming brutally competitive. Medical schools are filled to the brim every single year.
