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.

Don't limit yourself to a single method of intervention!
I perform endoscopy, open, laparoscopic, robotic assisted surgery.
This allowed me to ramp up my practice, as I was able to offer various services to my patients and not refer them.
