hey dear i have just a confusion please respond if u feel easy.
USPSTF ???? how can i reach at a particular site where i must know the material that ll appear in exam..
if u have a site please mention that one.

uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstopics.htm here is the site. This organization is responsible for making guidelines for US and is linked to government i think , so its recommendations are more reliable than any other organization. However if anything is not presented here (for example VUR in children, when to screen) then you should rely on other organization. Nearly anything can be asked in the exam, but the priority is with most commons.

Congratulations!!! You are an example for all of us IMGs!

Could you please clarify what do you mean by: Psych-->Kaplan Neuro-->FA IM-->mainly Kaplan (other than dermato, hemato, GI which primarily FA) OBs/Gyn-->blueprint Surgery-->Kaplan
So sorry, I'm sure that it's just me.

Also you wrote "study both of these with one of them as the main text, and add points of the other in your main text". Which one was your main text?

Could you please send me a copy of the study material as well. franceschino
Thanks a lot and congrats again.

@nowckturn: browse through all topics, most of them have inadequate evidence! so you will just bypass it! some of them have A or B statement and you should know them all. Studying all topics take you less than 5 hours in total even if you are a slow reader. Each topic has only one or two sentences.
@ukgrad10
Psychiatry: Kaplan only (+ ancillary references in some cases that I had doubt for example UpToDate)
Neurology: mainly FA (+Kaplan and other references when I need them, again like uptodate or Harrison)
IM(hemato, GI from FA + kaplan as complement) (all the other Kaplan as main text+ FA as complement)
Sugery (Kaplan as main text+ FA+ Case files in some cases mainly GI surgery)
ObsGYn(blueprint as main text, kaplan as complement)
Ethics( 100 cases fisher, and Kaplan)
