Summary
(MS1 or M1) The first year will be the most radical transition for most students. Gone are the days of college, and now the rigors of medical school are thrust upon you.
(MS2 or M2) Historically, MS2 starts with an uneasy tension that will grow and expand for the rest of the year. That tension is because of one thing and one thing only—Step 1.
(MS3 or M3) Most students love third year, and some students hate it. It’s an adjustment for everyone. Third year marks the beginning of your clinical years.
(MS4 or M4) Finally, MS4, the promised land! Hold your horses. Many people say that fourth year is a dream, and that everything is smooth sailing.
