PROGRAM DETAILS

.

BIG-PICTURE, WHAT DO I GET?  You get a 4-week program that is designed to ensure you’ve got the tools, strategies, and skills needed to secure a passing score on the USMLE Step 1 exam. This program completely flips the old, outdated Step 1 program model on its head! Old models teach the material for 8-10hrs during the day, leaving you stuck trying to find the time to navigate questions on your own time late into the evenings (we’ve found this to be a highly inefficient way for students to get exam-ready as quickly as possible). With our model, we’ll teach you the material on your own time so that during class hours we can go through questions to assess your knowledge, help you fill in the gaps, connect-the-dots, strengthen your test-taking skills, and identify weaknesses that might need improvement (a much more efficient way to prepare for your exam). Each student has the ability to jump on with our USMLE experts and do questions in real-time, or you can simply sit back, watch, and participate in our interactive chat. We also provide ‘office hours’ each evening from 4-6pm central for group coaching. During these sessions, you can jump on and get 1-on-1 support with one of our USMLE coaches. This ensures that you get the individualized attention you need each day to help you stay on track and clarify any issues you might be having with your prep strategy. Our program also comes with an optional industry-only full money-back & passing score guarantee (If you don’t pass, we’ll give you a full refund and you can come back for free until you do). 

WHAT YOU’LL GET WHEN YOU JOIN (Program Components): 

1) A PERSONALIZED PLAN: As soon as you register, the first thing you’ll do is setup a 1-on-1 zoom meeting with one of our USMLE experts to identify what you need to focus on & how you should plan your time with us. During this 1hr meeting, we’ll help you create a plan & strategy utilizing all of our tools & resources to ensure that you’re using your time and investment in the most effective & efficient way possible. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: We care deeply about ensuring that you are doing exactly what YOU need to do in order to be successful. Your needs and situation are unique, and so should your strategy. This feature allows us to help you plan out the entire journey from now until exam day to make sure that what you’re doing is going to work.

2) DAILY QUESTIONS-BASED CONTENT REVIEW SESSIONS (LIVE ON ZOOM 10AM-4PM CT DAILY): Over the years, we’ve realized that the ONE THING that gets students the fastest & absolute best results is doing questions. This is why the CORE of our live program component is doing USMLE-style questions and using those questions to reinforce and master the material most likely to be tested on exam day. These sessions will use the Amboss question bank (If you purchase Amboss, we’ll refund you a full month of cost at the end of your program). THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: Leverage! When we do questions with you in real-time, we (and you) get immediate feedback about how well you know the material and whether you’re able to apply your knowledge. This allows us to pinpoint weaknesses immediately and guide you to the necessary training (provided in your online classroom) to fix any weaknesses immediately! You’re not wasting countless hours reviewing stuff you already know in a boring classroom. Instead, we’re actively engaging with you to identify weaknesses so you know exactly where you should focus your attention after-hours. 

3) DAILY OFFICE HOURS/COACHING SESSIONS: Join us through Zoom between 4-6pm central time to get 1-on-1 coaching for whatever you need help with. These office hours are open to all students in your session; simply jump on when it’s most convenient for you and we’ll help you with whatever issues you’re having. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: Coaching is one of the cornerstones of our successful Step 1 model, therefore it’s included for everyone who wants and needs it. In order to ensure that you are staying on track with your plan, you can join us for office hours as often as you want and get the support you need to course-correct and/or ensure that you’re staying on track to meet your goals. This is included in your tuition cost.

4) ACCESS TO 150HRS OF WORLD-CLASS STEP 1 TRAINING VIDEOS: We’ve partnered with OnlineMedEd (OME) to bring you 3 free months of access to OME’s entire suite of training material, including videos, anki decks, and more. Throughout your program, you’ll take advantage of this resource based on your individual needs as determined from your initial 1-on-1 meeting and your daily performance during the questions sessions. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: This world-class series of Step 1 training videos is available to you 24/7. Not only does this allow you to prepare for questions sessions and review the material on your own time and at your own pace, it allows us to quickly & easily point you to specific videos based on identifed weaknesses throughout the day. And since this is available to you any time you want it, you aren’t wasting your precious in-class hours listening to lecture. Instead, you can get laser-focused and watch videos that will get you more for your time & efforts.

5) QUESTION BANK ACCESS: We use the Amboss Qbank as part of our daily curriculum. Should you decide to purchase the Amboss question bank during your time with us (not required but strongly recommended), we’ll issue you a 1-month refund of your Qbank purchase. Simply send us your purchase receipt and we’ll send you a prorated refund worth 1-month of Amboss access following completion of your program. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: Amboss offers features that UWorld simply does not. Not only does it offer over 5000 high-yield Step 1 questions, but each question links to numerous learning resources so you can quickly improve a weakness. This makes it a super-efficient way to improve yourself so you’re not stuck trying to find answers as you go.

6) TWO ASSESSMENT EXAMS: We’ll provide you with two (2) completely unique 200-question assessment exams. We created these assessments so that you could gauge your progress over time without having to prematurely exhaust your NBME exams. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: You can see how much you’re improving and identify weaknesses as you go through the program without having to waste a single NBME exam. We want you to save your valuable NBME exams until you’re done with the program, and this helps you solve that problem. Please note: This feature will be available by July 2023 as the software is still being built. All students in the May-July sessions will receive access once available.

7) DRILL-STYLE QUIZZES: Each day, you’ll get a link to access a mobile drill-session-style quiz. As the session progresses, our platform keeps track of your performance and the student with the most accumulated points at the end of the session wins an Amazon gift card. THE BENEFITS OF THIS FEATURE: It allows us to build some friendly competition into the program while also helping you to reinforce the highest-yield details you’ll need to know for the exam.
