With our coming renal module, most of us are struggling to finish the material for both the NBME and In House exams on time.

In order to study in the best for both the renal module and the EBM material, we are asking for the EBM test to be postponed for 2 days or 3, after the renal module exam.

We understand that EBM is an integral part of this course, and we are asking for it to be postponed so we can really invest in it the time it needs, all the while trying to do our best for the renal exam. Also, since module grades usually need around a week to be finalized, postponing it would not affect the releasing of grades.

Please take this into consideration.

Thank you

ive been talking with a few classmates and it sounds like everyone is feeling the same pressure with the current schedule. im putting together an email to send over to the course directors later today to explain why a little extra time would help us actually learn this material properly.

the support has been wild and it feels like everyone is finally on the same page about how overwhelmed we are. watching this gain so much steam makes me feel way better about us actually getting a fair shot at both these exams.

Having both at the same time is just not realistic. We just want to actually learn the material.

please consider this, the renal block is way too dense to pair with exams

It would be better to have EBM part of each module at the beginning of the module (if possible)
