usmle step 2 cs patient note

In today's episode, Dr. Paul & Dr. Stavros take you back to the very basics of the USMLE Step 2 CS exam. We've been getting more and more students asking about the very basics of exam day, including what you should wear to the exam, what is and isn't allowed on exam day, and a variety of other questions about exam-day basics. 

So we decided to go back to the basics, pulled up the USMLE's CS website bullet points and walk you through each one of them so that you not only know what they're saying, but so that you have a deep understanding of everything that you need to ensure you do on exam day to put yourself in the best position possible to succeed.

In today's episode, Dr. Paul talks about the new USMLE Step 2 CS patient note AI grading system. If you're not yet aware, the USMLE is implementing (or already has by the time you listen) an artificially intelligent patient note grading software system that will rely on computers to grade your notes, not a physician. 

In this episode, I'm talking about the biggest changes that this brings to your patient notes, what we believe are going to be common causes of failure as a result of these changes, and how you can avoid falling into the AI-trap and failing your notes as a result of these changes. This is an extremely important episode and if you're taking your CS exam in the future, one you won't want to miss.
