![]() ![]() ![]() There’s too much that’s not covered and it would take too long furthermore, I don’t like rereading books (I learned that with FA from Step 1). UW will still be my #1 source, and at first I was annotating things into the book from Amboss/UW, but I quickly realized that that’s inefficient. Since SUTCK appealed to me more, that’s what I decided to go with.įeedback: it’s a good book, it covers a lot of what’s on the exam however, it doesn’t have everything. First Aid (FA) for CK is not that good – in my opinion, when I tried it out last year, I really didn’t like the format/the layout. There’s no consensus on a “Bible” of CK, as there was for Step 1. I used the Step Up to Medicine for my clinical classes in 4th year and I really liked the textbook, and when my friend recommended it for CK, I thought, “Why not?” I got it from Amazon when I was in the States. I’ll try to do the same, so below I’ll explain the key things: STEP UP TO CK (textbook) The resources for Step 2 are not as numerous as they are for Step 1, and many people didn’t use too much resources. A lot of people say that Step 2 CK is a much ‘easier’ exam than Step 1, because it requires us to learn things that are relevant and useful in the wards. (Actually, it’s interesting to note that the %’s of what’s covered on which test is changing for Step 1 after May 4th, so check the website for more information if that’s relevant for you.)Īs you can see, the focus for CK is much more on patient care: diagnosis, management, prognosis, etc. ![]() Here’s a comparison, taken directly from. The focus is much more on the diagnostic and treatment algorithms that Step 1 was, and it is geared toward preparing us for what we would see in our own hospitals/clinics. I’m hoping that with hands-on experience in the US, I can plug whatever I’d missed during my med school studies.Īnd now, keep reading to learn more about Step 2 CK and CS, and how I’ll be studying for them! Step 2 CK: What is CK?ĬK stands for Clinical Knowledge – this is an exam that aims to test our theoretical knowledge before we become full-fledged doctors.
