If you're looking for a Portland USMLE prep course, look no further than Varsity Tutors. If you are an aspiring medical professional, we can enroll you in a USMLE class led by experienced instructors who know the content and format of this wide-ranging exam. If you've been studying medicine at the Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine or at another nearby school, you've put in a lot of hard work so far. This exam requires you to draw upon everything you've learned during your medical education, and you will need to review a lot of different concepts. Enrolling in an online course that gives you a comprehensive review of the content of the USMLE can give you the boost you need to feel ready for your test.
What are some of the topics a Portland USMLE course can cover?
The United States Medical Licensing Exam is taken by everyone who wishes to become a licensed medical professional in the U.S., such as doctors, surgeons, and specialists. The exams are administered in three "Steps," with most students completing Step 1 in their second year of school, Step 2 in their fourth year, and Step 3 as a post-graduate. There are a variety of different topics covered that range from the immune system to the general principles of foundational science. These are all topics aspiring doctors must know, and each Step will test on how much you know when it comes to caring for patients.
The instructor can also help you learn the best test-taking techniques to use on the USMLE so you can make the most of your time. The USMLE involves multiple choice questions that range from 280 questions for Step 1 to 316 for Step 2 and over 400 for Step 3. It's important to note Steps 2 and 3 have two full days of testing. There is a clinical portion known as Clinical Skills that is part of Step 2, which involves working directly with patients, and Step 3 will have computer-based case simulations. While all of this might seem overwhelming, it's important to know how to focus and make the most of your time so you don't work too slowly. Knowing how to eliminate incorrect answers and the best way to approach the test can make a difference in how well you perform.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Portland USMLE class?
Studying for the USMLE with the assistance provided in a class can give you several advantages over trying to learn on your own. You'll receive a full review of the content you can expect to see on the exam. Your instructor can cover topics such as questions related to the Cardiovascular System and Behavioral Health. The instructor might even break your class down into smaller groups, allowing everyone to practice teamwork as they learn. This makes it possible to study more-in-depth as you get to work with your classmates.
Working in a collaborative environment can help you reinforce the material you are studying. It can give you the chance to pick up on new study techniques from your classmates. A Portland USMLE class gives you the chance to study alongside other aspiring doctors. You'll learn from the perspectives of others as you engage in activities or discussions, and you can also get feedback from the instructor and your peers.
If you're worried about finding time to fit a class into your already busy schedule, you'll enjoy the ease of having an online USMLE class. Rather than commuting back and forth to a physical location, you can log on from the comfort of your computer at home. Here, you can see, listen, and interact with your classmates and instructor through video chat. You'll also have an online whiteboard that you can use. If you run into issues with the content you're learning, you can request to meet with your instructor one-on-one outside of class, so you can get extra help.
