Section II: Understanding Academic Strengths & Deficiencies – RUSM Exams

RUSM Exams
After reviewing your Strengths & Opportunities Report for each exam record your competency in each
discipline AND organ system below. This should be treated as a living document as you progress through
the curriculum. Discuss any deficits with your Faculty Mentor, ATL, and relevant content experts
throughout your time in medical sciences so you will be well prepared to pass CBSE (Comp) on your first
attempt.

CBSSA/CBSE Scores
After completing CBSSA (practice comp) or CBSE (comp) record your performance below to get a general
idea of your areas of strength/weakness. Compare how this aligns with your RUSM exam areas of
strength and opportunities. Work with your Faculty Mentor and ATL to create a comprehensive
Comp/Step 1 action plan based on your findings.

Section IV: Preparing to Transition Off-Island
Throughout your time in medical school you have not only focused on mastering the material, but how
to get the most out of yourself possible. This includes perfecting your study environment and routine,
utilizing the right human and online resources, you and your peers holding each other accountable, and
prioritizing your own wellness to reach peak performance. Because many students find the transition
outside of the "med school bubble" difficult we want to help ensure significant thought and planning
goes into this important step.

Space & Resources

Study Space (where will you study): Click or tap here to enter text.

Study Time (what days/times will you dedicate to studying): Click or tap here to enter text.

Study Resources (map out what resources – human and online – that will be used to address each
deficiency)? Click or tap here to enter text.

Removing Barriers & Replicating On-Island Success

What did you do to achieve peak academic performance on island & how do you replicate this at home?
Click or tap here to enter text.

What were your barriers to success while on island & how will you avoid these barriers at home? Click or
tap here to enter text.

Wellbeing
How did you care for your wellbeing (physical/mental/spiritual) while on island? Areas you could have
