Mccqe Part 2 Timing


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, 

 

Tried to do a little digging but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I know the traditional time to write the Part 2 is in fall of PGY2.

 

I was wondering if people considered writing it outside of that time frame or if you're allowed? I would be tempted to take it in the Spring of PGY1 as I'll just have come off a few general based rotations. I have a feeling I would be more rusty in PGY2 after being back to Psychiatry for 5+ months.

 

Seems like a good idea, but maybe there is something simple I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, it's pretty basic stuff ... and I think that psychiatrists should maintain their basic medical knowledge as best as they can, and studying for the exam was actually very helpful to me.

 

I don't think your medicine is going to "blow out" your ears in 5 months.

you cannot write it until you have at least 12 months of clinical training - it was supposed to be test you take after you complete your internship year. You can however write it in the spring of your second year or any other time after etc :)

 

Ahh, good to know. 

 

Not that I'm afraid I'll lose all of medical knowledge, but figured following an emerge rotation, things would be pretty fresh. It would also be nice to have it done earlier, but looks like it'll be next fall.
