Ten weeks

A year ago, I watched the class above me juggle two concurrent blocks (Life Cycles and Infectious Disease) and study for the USMLE Step 1 board exam at the same time, and I wondered at how they could pull it off. Now it's one year later and I'm faced with the same task. To paraphrase one of our professors: "The next ten weeks will be among the most challenging of your medical careers; you will have to synthesize new material while reviewing old material." But, at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel - I'm really looking forward to clinical training. Ten weeks is manageable.
