General Description ( See the APPENDIX for a DETAILED Sample Schedule/Timetable for Our Professional Online USMLE Preparation Program)

This WEB-BASED (COMBINED WITH PERSONALIZED TELEPHONIC INSTRUCTION) course brings together a faculty who possess a multidisciplinary perspective and range of preparatory methods that students may not typically be exposed to in standard public or even elite USMLEpreparatory institutions. New research is revealing new and promising approaches to the mastery of cognitive and learning skills; a top-notch professional program must present these advances to its students. We recognize this and thus, through informal personalized seminars, debates, and feedback sessions, we explore and identify the general principles that span the range of areas that are tested within the various sections of the USMLEs steps I,II-CK and III.

Who We Are*
