<p>The must have book is First Aid for USMLE Step 1</p>

<p>My medical school has a comprehensive exam over the entire first year about 10 days after our final class exam, and our profs suggested using this book to prepare for that. It has a lot of really good information about the process of Step 1, a lot of high yield content, and perhaps more importantly a section that has reviews of all the various material out there. </p>

<p>Kaplan's QBank is highly rated, and studies show that people who do lots of practice questions on material they've recently covered have better retention rates.</p>

<p>How does USMLE fit into a combined program? When do you start your rotations and do you have to pass step 1 before you can do the rotations?</p>

<p>the only diff. in a combined program is the structure and timing during undergraduate, the med school cirriculum is the same........I'm pretty sure at Case's med school you can start your rotations regardless......</p>
