Unfortunately some programs schedule their courses at times of the year that don’t coincide with most first-time takers’ preparation efforts. Nevertheless, here is the information on review courses that are available.

- A 10 -week, highly interactive program is for students who have a history of difficulty with standardized tests; including multiple unsuccessful attempts at Step 1. (Usually begins in January)
It focuses on clinical correlations in Biochemistry, Physiology, and Pathology, Microbiology and microbiology related biochemistry. These are the fields that typically cause examinees the greatest difficulty. Other areas included are Anatomy, Pharmacology, Embryology, Genetics, Biostatistics and Behavioral Science.
A typical schedule for Monday through Friday involves an eight hour day. Some weekend sessions are also scheduled. This schedule includes a variety of small group interactive instruction led by trained small group facilitators and formal lectures presented by experienced basic science lecturers. The instructional program strengthens the basic sciences background of all participants. Computerized examinations permit staff, meeting individually with students, to analyze and monitor students’ progress as they approach their examination.
The program includes: (a) personalized diagnostics, (b) screening testing, (c) mock boards, (d) pathology case studies, (e) clinical and fundamental pharmacology, (f) computer based testing and (g) the hallmark of our programs, question group
- A 4 week course is available for a student wanting a focused review of the high impact topics in a structured, question based format. (Usually held between May and June)
The Summer Program offers an intensive four week review of the General Principles of Pathology, presented by a nationally respected pathologist; critical clinical correlations explained in Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and Physiology and a Behavioral Sciences/Ethics review. Students interact with one another and the instructors as they sort out concepts that they understand incompletely. Question-based tutorials help participants to develop the kind and quality of thinking required for success on Step 1. Daily small group lecture review sessions will aid in organization and retention. Emphasis is placed on understanding of the common diseases and related treatment regimens. In addition, the program will provide a diagnostic, selected subject exams, and a mock board.
- An 8-week, live lecture program is designed both for first time test takers who desire a review of basic science concepts and for the student who has scored at 167 or above on Step 1 and who is planning on sitting for the USMLE Step 1 in early November. (Usually held in the months of August to November)
Students with a history of difficulty on standardized exams are more likely to be successful with the longer preparation program beginning in January. As with all of our courses, focus on understanding the material covered, practicing appropriate test taking strategies, and applying all skills acquired and content reviewed in a computer based testing environment. This live lecture program will include a review of Bacteriology, Pathology, Physiology, Immunology, Virology, and Biochemistry.
