1/ Many folks have messaged me asking for guidance regarding #USMLE, so I figured I might create a thread on how I was able to take all exams (except step3) while still in #medicalschool.
The following 🧵 is what I found useful for me, obviously doesn't apply to everyone.

2/ Disclaimer, I was an average #medicalstudent, no genius or prodigy.
I put in the extra effort and it paid dividends.
I graduated in Nov 2012, as an #IMG and matched into surgery in Mar 2013. If I can do it, so can you, just remember no shortcuts in life.

3/ The first time I heard of #USMLE was in Dec 2010, when my buddy was studying for it.
It was around that time I looked into studying for this "international exam" as I would falsely assume.
Once I did some digging, I realized, everyone has to take it to practice in the US.

Happening now: In the middle of the #COVID19 pandemic #FutureDoctors can’t take #USMLE exams for licensure because of failures at @NBMENow, @TheUSMLE, @TheFSMB, and @PrometricGlobal, putting current and future patients at risk. 1/12 
Did you know: after years of school, $100k’s of debt, months of 12hr/day dedicated study, students are reporting @PrometricGlobal, @NBMENow, @TheUSMLE are cancelling exams for medical students with < 24 hours notice. 2/12
After @PrometricGlobal cancelled exams, they also turned off phone lines, locking out students with disabilities or other ADA protected accommodations from the only mechanism to reschedule the most important exam of their lives. 3/12
