That is a very useful for USMLE Step 2 CK preparation.Here is the desceription from the owner: I started this new website in March 2005. Its main purpose is to host my soapbox essays. My soapbox essays are critical essays that are mainly focused on reviewing/analysing randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in order to demonstrate weaknesses/flaws in the design and interpretation of RCTs. My latest essays are at the top of the list.

USMLE Step 2 Lectures 2008/2009 editionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Many friends asked me about USMLE Step 2 Lectures published in 2008/2009.Unfortunately, I have not heard of these videos on the grey market. Kaplan Step 2 Videos have been released in 2002/2003. Although some people keep referring to them as 2006 or even 2007 step 2 kaplan lectures, in reality this is 2002/2003 Step 2 Lectures.On the other side - medicine is not IT science and is not changing every 3 years.So, stick to whatever materials you have and keep fingers crossed...Good luck in your Exam!powered by www.usmlestep.com (Source: USMLE blog for smart people)
