Sorry for getting back to you late. I had a busy day at work. During the clinical portion of your training, you will have to speak with patients and also to the whole team. We also had an oral exam at the end of each rotation during 3rd year. I found that it was much easier to talk in a 1:1 situation with the patient. I used to disclose the fact that I was stutterer, but I did not enjoy hearing from people that they knew someone who stuttered who "fixed" their stuttering by thinking before they talked, by talking slowly, or about their theories about how it happens; so I don't do that anymore unless I am confronted, i.e., "Hey I noticed that you stutter". Then I tell them, "stuttering is something that I have had to deal with all my life, unfortunately we have not discovered a cure for it yet". If you want to disclose to patients especially during the Step 2 CS exam or the OSCE exam, where first time impression is extremely important because the graders must not assume that you are anxious/nervous, I told my patients "by the way, I'm a person who stutters, if you need me to repeat anything, I'll be more than happy to do so". An added benefit is that for the most part, these standardized patients will not offer you their theories or provide advice on stuttering. If you know what you are talking about, people will listen regardless of your ability to speak fluently. Excel academically in your board exams (Step 1 and Step 2). These will open up more doors than your ability to speak. You should definitely use one of the spaced repetition tools early on even as MS1 (either Firecracker or ANKI decks). I used Firecracker for board prep, but I heard good things about ANKI as well (ANKI is free). Lastly, there will be people who will give you a hard time and comment negatively about your stuttering. This is something beyond your control and don't be discouraged/offended when hearing or reading about these senseless words. Remind yourself how hard you had to work to be where you are. You will be a great doctor who is able to empathize with your patients. I look forward to hearing about your success! Feel free to PM me about any questions during your training.
