UWorld USMLE Step 2 CK Qbank with 360-Day Access for MS2 Students Entering in January 2023
The YSM Alumni Fund is providing the funds for the school to provide all MS2 students the UWorld USMLE Step 2 CK Qbank with 360-Day Access. During the Transition Course in December 2022, MS2 students will receive a voucher that can be used to provide access to the Step 2 CK Qbank. The voucher can be redeemed at any point within one year of receiving it and once redeemed will provide 360 days of access to the Q-Bank. Features of the UWorld Qbank package can be found at https://medical.uworld.com/usmle/usmle-step-2-ck/
MS2 students should not purchase the package on their own as reimbursement will not be possible. You will receive information on the UWorld subscription in January 2023.
Inclusive Language Initiative
We are proud to inform all students, staff and faculty of the school of medicine about the official release of the YSM Inclusive Language Initiative. The Office of Curriculum in conjunction with the Health Equity Thread are dedicated to providing an inclusive learning environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel recognized and respected. As part of this commitment, the Inclusive Language Initiative sought to provide a glossary generated by a committee of faculty, staff, students, and community partners who have aimed to provide a resource to facilitate learning across the medical school. It is also intended to provide a shared mental model for students and faculty to be able to engage in scientific and patient care discussions.
Language, like science, is not static and changes as we learn more and validate our findings with others. The current glossary is intended to be a living document that will be reviewed and evaluated periodically to ensure that it continues to meet its intended mission.
We encourage you to read the forward on the YSM Inclusive Language Initiative describing the goals, philosophy, and guiding principles the committee used to create the Inclusive language Glossary. There is also a link at the bottom of the webpage for providing commenting and formative input. We are grateful to Drs. Talwalkar and Sheares for their skillful and visionary leadership of the initiative and to the many individuals that you will see acknowledged on the website for their tireless and passionate contribution to this initiative.
