As a medical student, you've already put in an enormous amount of hard work to get to where you are today. Therefore, you deserve all the extra help that you need to prepare for the USMLE. Enrolling in a Tucson USMLE course can help you improve your study skills and make you feel more confident when you sit down to take the exam. Studying to become a medical professional is a grueling process, but we can make it a little bit easier by providing you with an expert instructor who can help you along your journey.
What can I review in a Tucson USMLE course?
The USMLE, or United States Medical Licensing Examination, is an exam that you must take if you aspire to become a licensed medical professional. It's a rigorous test that consists of three "Steps" that will evaluate your understanding of medical topics and examine your ability to function competently in clinical scenarios. In Step 1, you must answer 280 multiple choice questions that will check your understanding of the science that underlies the field of medicine. In Step 2, you will answer questions that test both your clinical knowledge and your clinical skills. In addition to answering 316 multiple choice questions, you'll also be presented with twelve patient cases. In the final step, you must answer more multiple choice questions and engage in computer-based scenarios that simulate individual cases. Once you pass the first step, you'll generally have a seven-year period to complete the other portions of the exam, although you should look into this to see what the requirements are for your particular situation.
The USMLE will test your knowledge of a wide array of medical topics, from the cardiovascular system to epidemiology. This is why it's helpful to work with an instructor to develop the study habits you need to sift through such a large amount of material. The instructor can give you insight into how to best prepare for the clinical sections and can provide you with helpful study strategies.
How can I benefit from a Tucson USMLE course?
Taking a course covering the USMLE provides a multitude of benefits that you would not get if you were just studying alone in a quiet corner of the library. You'll have access to an instructor who understands how the test works and who you can ask questions about the exam. For instance, let's say you need a refresher on the mechanics of the human endocrine system. The instructor might give you an overview of the topics that you need to know, along with some study tips. The instructor might also demonstrate ways of eliminating incorrect choices from multiple choice questions.
Another great feature of the class is that it enables you to work collaboratively with other students. This is an excellent way to learn because you can get help from other students who might be able to answer your questions. Likewise, you may be able to assist others who are struggling with a certain topic. Not only is collaboration a great way to prepare for the USMLE, but practicing it now will serve you well in your career as a doctor, where you are likely to collaborate with your peers and share information.
We understand that as a medical student, you already have a packed schedule. This is why convenience is extremely important to us. When you get signed up with a Tucson USMLE class, you'll be able to have full access to online classes. This means that you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home to participate in the classes. All you need is a computer with access to a strong internet connection and you can engage in the class sessions from anywhere. You don't even need to worry about fitting a tedious commute into your schedule. It doesn't get much better than that! Also, if there are certain topics that you've really been struggling with, you can request a one-on-one meeting with the instructor.
