Hey everyone, I was wondering what your guys' opinions are about taking Step 2 without having done my Peds or Surgery rotations? Thanks!

Anyone? I could really use some advice... the way my schedule is set up, I may not be able to do Peds in time. That's the one I'm really worried about, not so much about surgery. And what books would you recommend for Peds? Thanks to anyone who can help me out... ~s

surgery you could do without, since the material is trauma mostly. peds, i would not do without, as a great deal of material from my exam was peds.
