Almost done with my first pass of uWorld and am now wanting to supplement with a 2nd qbank that is closer in format to MCCQE1 (ie the shorter vignettes).

What would you guys recommend between Ace and Amboss?

Edit: vs QbankMD?

IMG applying for peds match in 2028 cycle

I'm looking to do an elective at UBC for pediatrics and wanted to ask if anyone has had experience in applying to their electives as I have a few questions regarding applying. I know UBC is risky as I'd have to get through BC CAP to match there later, but I believe doing an elective there is worth a shot

I'm really struggling with what is high-yield for neuro for the exam. Should I cover everything (tracts, nuclei, neuroanatomy...) or are there high-yield topics I should focus on to not waste my time

IMG doing QE1, booked for October
I’m doing uWorld, I have 30% left. My uWorld average is around 58%

I just started Ace a few days ago, haven’t touched ethics files yet or any other resources really, just uWorld. Will I be able to be prepared by October?

What are your recommendations?

Canadian IMG, raised in Ontario from birth until middle school. My family moved abroad right before high school, so I did med school abroad. We’ve owned a house in Ontario, pay taxes, and all my documents (ie health card) are from Ontario. With the high school rule, i’m out of luck.

I’m eligible for the 2028 cycle and interested in pediatrics, but with the number of seats of peds already being limited, i’m contemplating throwing out Canada all together and just going to the US — even though my ultimate goal is to practice in Canada. NAC is crazy expensive, electives are expensive, and I don’t want to throw everything in with a nil chance of matching.

Thoughts?

في احد هنا متخصصه او يفكر فيه؟

Do I need to make a reservation? I'm a tourist with my family and this out my 3rd day in Bursa and tomorrow is our last. We'd love to try this Iskender place but don't know if we need a reservation.

We're heading to Cumalıkızık and the nearby waterfalls to hike today. We've already visited the Grand Mosque, Koza Hana, and Uludag mountain. If you have any suggestions, please tell me. Tomorrow is our last day and we'll head to Sapanca

Rezervasyon yaptırmam gerekiyor mu? Turistim; Bursa'daki üçüncü günüm ve yarın son günümüz. Bu İskenderciyi denemeyi çok isteriz ama rezervasyon gerekip gerekmediğini bilmiyoruz.

Bugün doğa yürüyüşü yapmak üzere Cumalıkızık'a ve yakındaki şelalelere gidiyoruz. Ulu Camii, Koza Han ve Uludağ'ı daha önce gezdik. Başka önerileriniz varsa lütfen paylaşın. Yarın son günümüz ve Sapanca'ya geçeceğiz.

ايش اقتراحاتكم لاماكن نروحها، مانبغا اوزنقول ولا طربزون. نبغا نروح بورصه، ايش كمان عندكم اقتراحات؟ نفضل مناطق ماتكون مكدسه

We are a family of 7 with kids aged 9 to 24 and are traveling to Istanbul next week. We'll be staying for 12 days, including date of arrival and date of departure. We want to visit an array of different cities and different experiences. We're thinking about Bursa and Yalova, but are open to other destinations. The 9 year old is in an above elbow cast so we don't want anything involving swimming

Would love recommendations for destinations to visit, experiences, hidden gems. Thanks!

First time buying a new car and i’m between mazda & BYD.

Mazda CX5: Reliable, smooth driving, black interior is great. Screen is small, and no hybrid option

BYD: Newer to the market, hybrid option is very tempting to save on gas. Interior isn’t as nice as mazda

I commute to work (~1hr) daily, no kids & single so carseats aren’t a concern. Looking for something reliable that’ll last

Peds Non-US IMG, my school is not VSLO participating so I'm very limited on options. So far I've found

Yale University
University of Illinois
St. Jude's Childrens Research Hospital
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Memorial Sloan Kettering
University of Pittsburgh

Anyone have experience with applying or doing electives at these institutions?

Anyone here from Saudi and successfully got a SON? Please comment or DM, much appreciated!

My institution is no longer a VSLO partnered institution just as I'm about to enter my final year of medical school. They are not going to renew, so now I'm stuck on how to get electives, especially since I haven't completed both STEPs. Has anyone been in a similar situation and could share their experiences on getting an elective?

Trying to fit both exams into the fall and would love feedback on whether this is realistic. uWorld Step 2 is my main engine for both, and Step 2 CK is the score I most want to maximize. I'm canadian and applying both CaRMS and NRMP

Phase 1 — uWorld/Clinical base (Jun 19 → Sep 20): 40q/day from Jun 19 to Jul 4. From Jul 5 to Sep 5 I move up to 80q/day, doing NBME 10–13 every two weeks (Jul 14, Jul 28, Aug 11, Aug 25) to track trajectory. Should be done with all of uWorld + incorrect by Sept 20

If I'm scoring high on NBMEs I may consider doing 2CK at the end of September

Phase 2 — MCCQE1 (Sep 21 → Oct 8): From Sep 21 to Oct 1 I focus on CLEO objectives, Canadian guideline deltas (screening, immunization, prenatal, lipid/HTN targets), and public/population health, alongside MCCQE1 practice tests. Then a week of revising practice tests, sit MCCQE1 on Oct 6-8

Phase 3 — Step 2 CK (Oct 11 → Nov 1): Reset days, biostatistics & ethics, NBME 14, 15, 16 and the Free 120, then sit CK on Nov 1

Does this seem like good time management, and would you reorder anything (ie 2CK before QE1)? Currently done with 10% of uWorld and avg 55% correct so far

Thanks!
