First Aid® is THE reference book for medical school and the USMLE®. But can it be more? Here’s my advice on how to annotate your FA into a golden book you can use for the rest of your medical journey!

With all the information floating around on the internet about how hard the USMLE® Step 1 is, a lot of people dismiss Step 2 CK as just another, much easier, step up the United States residency ladder.

This is my USMLE® Step 2 CK experience and how it shaped my path toward residency.
