Varsity Tutors can help you get started with a variety of New York City USMLE prep solutions. The United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) is a series of tests taken by individuals who are on the path to earn an M.D. and want to take the next steps necessary to become a practicing physician. All portions of the exam must be successfully completed, along with any tests mandated by your state, before you will be granted a medical license.
The testing process is appropriately rigorous for the field into which you will be entering, and it makes sense to give yourself every advantage when preparing for your upcoming exam. Continue reading to learn more about New York City USMLE preparation solutions and how Varsity Tutors can help you get started with the right one for you.
What can New York City USMLE prep cover?
There are two ways Varsity Tutors can help you prepare for the USMLE: online classes and private lessons. Both of these options will provide you with academic guidance and support as you prepare for your upcoming test. However, the methods they use are slightly different.
USMLE prep can cover any component of the three "Steps" of the exam. Whether you need a comprehensive review of the general principles of foundational science, a review on each of the topics in an individual step, or you only need targeted assistance in a specific area such as the endocrine system, there's something for everyone.
Regardless of which prep solution you are interested in, rest assured that you will have the opportunity to review thoroughly for your exam.
How can a New York City USMLE prep class help me prepare?
A USMLE prep class can help you prepare for your upcoming exam by providing you with a skilled instructor who can deliver a clear path of study, accountability, regular sessions that can be built into your schedule to focus on your studies, and a group of peers who can support you on your journey.
Your teacher can present lessons directly to the class and may then divide students into groups to make it easier for individual students to practice their skills. If you find there is a concept or skill from the class in which you need more assistance, you can request time with your teacher outside of your class for further clarification.
We understand that the only way many students can prioritize their studies is to make it easy to attend. So, don't worry if your schedule is already so packed that you aren't sure how to fit in another appointment. Our prep classes are all held online. As long as you have a digital device and a reliable internet connection, you're only a click away from your session. Of course, it is best to connect from a quiet location, but in a pinch, you can hop in and participate from your favorite coffee shop.
In your digital classroom, you'll be able to hear and see your instructor and view the digital whiteboard where your teacher may offer additional insights or explanations for the topics covered on the USMLE, such as behavioral health, biostatistics, interpretation of medical literature, or any other skill measured on the exam.
New classes begin each month, and are held on a variety of days and times from which you may choose. Since there is no need to wait for a new academic semester to start, you can begin whenever you're ready.
What is the difference between working with a New York City USMLE tutor and taking a course?
Working with a private instructor is very different from taking a New York City USMLE prep course. Courses are structured as cooperative group learning environments, and working with a personal instructor is all about individualized instruction.
Your personal teacher can work with you one-on-one to address your specific learning goals. You'll meet with your instructor via our online Live Learning Platform, which offers the same digital convenience of prep classes, but with greater personal attention.
How can I get started with New York City USMLE prep?
Varsity Tutors makes it easy to get started with whichever type of New York City USMLE prep you are most interested in. We can enroll you in a convenient prep course or help you connect with a skilled personal instructor. If you're not sure which option is better for your schedule and learning needs, give us a call and we'll give you the information you need to make an informed decision. If you're ready to take your study efforts to the next level, contact Varsity Tutors today.
