USMD in 3rd year considering emergency medicine vs radiology. I finish third year with an EM rotation in May. Thinking of fitting in another elective in EM or something before taking a month off for CS and CK in July or August. I figure my EM rotations will prepare me well for CS and all my knowledge will be fresh for CK. I also kind of just want to get them both over with so I can enjoy 4th year. The other option I'm considering is pushing them back and taking a month off during interview season so I don't have to ask for time off for interviews while I'm studying. My main concern is that I plan to apply to competitive programs on the coasts and want to make sure I'm not screened out of interviews because I haven't taken Step 2 yet. Let me know if any more info would be helpful.
