Have been following posts on this forum for a while now and am now staking my claim to IM residency in 2009.

Abt me:
- Singaporean Doctor currently serving the army
- for you lucky sods who don't have to serve the army, be happy
- in no other organization do you have the less-than-intelligent commanding the less-than-motivated to do the apparently-crazy in the name of enlightened self-defence
- grand plan - IM residency --> oncology/haematology fellowship (the Sinai onc/haeme/palliative fellowship sounds sooo good)
- recently single --> breakups are terrible (or was I too emotionally attached?), cost me a month of prep-time

Starting with Step 1.

Target - >260. Time frame - 4 months, exam on Feb 20 2009.

Books:
1. 1st AID
2. Path - BRS
3. Physio - BRS
4. MB - Micro B made ridiculously simple
5. Immuno - immuno chapter from Jawetz
6. Gross Anat - Roadmap
7. Neuroanat - High Yield
8. Biochem - High Yield
9. Pharmaco - Katzung
10. Behavioural Science - BRS

Other resources:
1. Kaplan's MedEssentials
2. Goljan Path Audio - burned it and play it in the car. So am revising path BD, 30-40 mins each time. Try it.
3. Odd resources from usmleworld.com and prep4usmle.com

Plan:
1. Path/physio/MB/immuno - 1st reading bef November
2. Pharmaco - 1 system or 5 drugs a day, main r/v in End Nov
3. Anat, Neuro-anat, Biochem, Beh Science - Dec
4. Kaplan and USMLEworld starting end-Nov

Progress:
1. Path/physio/MB/immuno
- immuno - done
- path 40%
- physio - 20%
- MB - virgin ground

Please feel free to post your comments, advice, suggestions, questions. See you guys in the states.
