Each day, each topic is designed to teach one large concept and several small ones. This makes large amounts of information much more manageable. We drill students on high-yield clues during class and drill sessions held in the evenings. Finally, each student then receives one-on-one sessions weekly to help each student develop the self-confidence and accuracy required to perform well on the exams. See what a class schedule will look like HERE.
COMLEX Students
Our COMLEX Level 1 program is set up to correlate with our USMLE Step 1 program directly. You will sit through the same lectures and learn the same information with the addition of a few provided OMM resources (when available). Both tests are primarily compromised of all the basic medical sciences so mastering this information is the key to passing both. We will be showing you how to apply that information to endless clinical situations. You will also have some of your one-on-one tutoring sessions with another D.O. physician (when available). These same physicians will also be conducting weekly OMM drills to assist you with that aspect of your learning.
