Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the manuscript mentions that the conversion of Step 1 to a pass/fail scoring system may lead to increased importance for Step 2 scores. [...]this last year many programs made it optional and many residents chose not to the take ABSITE because of the stress associated with the pandemic. Really, it's just one snapshot in time and there's a whole lot of pressure on just one day even though it is the culmination of many years of study and prep work, obviously life happens outside of medicine as well, and there are certain things that could impact that, potentially lack of child care, lack of access to a testing site.
