I feel like post step 1 days have made me lose nearly 50%+ medical knowledge than during preclinical. I've passed all of my rotations and have done average on shelf exams, but every time I get pimped a question in person, all of my knowledge is out the door.

There are things I'm supposed to remember (antibiotics, arrhythmia medications, etc) that I SHOULD/WOULD'VE known during my step 1 dedicated days, but since I haven't seen them in a long time it's like I'm back to square one. I find myself having to google things that should've been common sense.

Anyone having similar problems? (And no, I'm not talking about post match/step 2 M4s).

I can’t get a rads elective/Sub-I rotation prior to ERAS being due. I’ve applied to many places but they all have rejected/ghosted/waitlisted me. I’m starting to panic because my home program does not have a rads program so I’m on my own to find one.

I’m also stuck in another elective rotation right now that is draining me completely so I’ve been MIA in applying to more places recently. I’m worried it’s too late and every spot is filled.

I know I only need one but coming from a DO applicant, I wanna make myself known as much as possible. I’ve secured some DR rotations after ERAS dates, but I really need a LOR ASAP.

Is it too late to apply for more through VSLO or clinician nexus?
