Clinical Year

My study process for every EOR

1. Download the EOR topic list from SmartyPance website
2. Watch Medschool Bootcamp or Osmosis videos to review topics I don’t remember
3. Use the Anki Endeavor Rotation deck to go through all the topics on the exam. I go through them system wise (cardio, pulm, GI, etc)
4. After finishing the anki deck for a specifc section, I do Uworld questions for that specific sections (ex. for family med, I did cardio anki cards then cardio questions on UWorld)
5. After finishing all the Uworld questions for the EOR, I do the Rosh Boost exam to see as many questions as possible
