Class of 2021 Town Hall Recording and Presentations.
At least 170 people attended last evening’s class meeting/town hall and with 92 participants, 83 questions were answered during the two-hour meeting. Approximately 43% of the attendees “showed up” to the meeting, leaving the Scholarly Year town hall in the lead with the most participation on camera thus far.
A lot of information was covered last night!

Class of 2022 Step 1 Cancellations and What to Do from Dr. Lauren Linkowski
We have all been through a lot of change in the past few days. I have received countless emails about what to do, and I know that a lot of my advice is being shared. In the interest of making sure equitable and timely advice and information are available, I have created a statement on general advice regarding the Prometric situation.
If you need specifics or have individual questions, feel free to contact me, but many questions will be addressed HERE.
