Doctors in Training

USMLE
Step 1 Review Course.
Twenty new questions similar to the ones below will arrive every Monday and Thursday to your email address from now until May 14th. These questions encourage you to study for the USMLE now and help you learn the high-yield information in a more active manner.

At this point in your USMLE study, I recommend that you spend about 10-12 hours a week reviewing and studying for the USMLE but do not neglect your present coursework. At the bare minimum, I recommend that you go through these twice-weekly questions. I also highly recommend finding a study partner to keep you on track and make your learning more active rather than simply reading to yourself. Quiz each other with these questions and “pimp” each other with new questions as you go through First Aid together. Additionally, you should try to go through First Aid at least once prior to the start of Part II of the Doctors In Training. om Step 1 Review in order to get the most out of the course. You can use our study schedules posted online to help make your study plan. If you have any questions. What are some of the distinctive clinical features of Williams syndrome?
