  21. Advice • Don’t over-resource yourself! Find what works for you and stick with it. • Consider Qbank subscription for third year. • Can use for SHELF exams and Step 2 • Carry something to read on rotations in downtime. • Don’t feel like you have to buy anything – there are many free resources through BioMed Library and online. • Find antibiogram at hospital. • Use DropBox to email yourself articles. • Choose 1-2 resources and study them thoroughly! I performed best on exams when I did this versus skipping around and using many different resources. • Consider getting apps on Kindle or other tablet – easier to read than on phone and sometimes cheaper. • Have fun! You are there to learn.

  22. Good Luck!See you on the Wards!(Unless we’re 4th years and moving. In that case, peace out)
