Usmle, ecfmg certified now here is what I did. I sat for the step 2 cs first before any of the other exams. Mainly my sources cs videos and fa . I binged on CSEvideos for 2 months then practiced the cases out with the sps at Jackson park hospital in Chicago, got stars in each section,I did my exam in Chicago. For my step 1 I did after the cs and used uw Kaplan videos pahtoma and goljan audios while walking my dog and hanging out with my kids. The ck I used conrad mtb 3 and the yale book on ck but once I finished step 1 with a 242 it made ck much easier. Now I am ecfmg certified but was wondering if taking cs first will look odd to the residency boards. Good luck on usmle journey

NOTHING LOOKS ODD, JUST PREPARE UR APPLICATION FOR THIS YEAR MATCH , MY ADVISE IS TO DO ONE OR 2 ROTATIONS TO ADD TO YOUR CV , SO U CAN GET LOR. I AM PLANNING TO DO THE SAME AS YOU DID , DONE WITH CS I JUST STARTED STEP 1 . GOODLUCK
