Award-Winning USMLE Tutors serving Charlotte, NC

If you are interested in working as a licensed medical professional in the United States, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Charlotte USMLE tutor in as little as 24 hours. Passing the USMLE, or the United States Medical Licensing Exams, are required of anyone who wishes to practice medicine in the United States. There are a total of three licensing exams that need to be completed, and all of them can be challenging. While you may have technically learned all that you need to know to pass the exams after studying at a nursing school such as the University of North Carolina at Charlotte or Winthrop University, Charlotte USMLE tutoring can still help you prepare for your exams.

What are some of the advantages of working with a Charlotte USMLE tutor near me?

Working with a private instructor allows you to study at your own pace. Each of the three exams covers a different level of skill required of you in the medical field, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed if you try to learn about all of them at once. Time management skills will be crucial to you as you go over the required material, and your instructor can break down what you need to study so you can approach it at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Charlotte USMLE tutors can also develop a study plan that caters to your learning style. Everyone learns new material in their own way. Some will do just fine with lectures and discussions, while others benefit more from visual learning activities such as flashcards and online interactive practice problems. No matter what your learning style may be, your instructor can learn more about it and tailor your lessons for it.

Another major advantage of Charlotte USMLE tutoring is that it is often more flexible and convenient than more organized classroom learning. One of the biggest challenges of preparing for any exam is making the time to study while you are attending college courses, working at a full-time job, or taking care of your family. This is why we set licensure candidates up with Charlotte USMLE tutors are available when the candidate has time to meet. The fact that the study sessions are online also adds to the convenience and flexibility. As long as you have a reliable computer and a good wi-fi connection, you will be able to access the Live Learning Platform and take advantage of features such as video chat, session recording, and integrated practice problems.

What topics can a Charlotte USMLE tutor review with me?

Each of the three steps of the USMLE tests a different level of skill required of you in the medical field. Step 1 covers the basic science concepts that are involved in practicing medicine. Residency programs place a large emphasis on this first step since it is arguably a better indicator of whether a candidate can perform their job duties than their grades from medical school. This step is separated into seven 60-minute sections and consists of a total of 280 multiple-choice questions. Step 2 consists of 12 patient encounters and gauges the candidate's communication and interpersonal skills. You are allowed 15 minutes for each patient encounter and an extra 10 minutes to record each patient note. Step 3 is taken over two days. Day one requires you to take an exam consisting of about 233 multiple-choice questions, while day two requires you to answer about 180 multiple-choice questions and look at 13 computer-based case simulations. You are allowed to spend 10 to 20 minutes with each case simulation. The multiple-choice exam is given in six 45-minute sections.

Each of these three steps tests different skills that you will need to perform as a medical professional, but some of the more common topics that should be studied include general scientific principles, the different systems within the body such as the immune system and the circulatory system, interpretation of medical literature, social sciences, and behavioral health.

Can Charlotte USMLE tutors help me with test-taking skills?

It is possible to know all the material that you need to pass a test and still struggle, which is why your instructor can help you with some test-taking skills. This might include some general tips to help you with time management or test anxiety, or it can include skills that will help you with the specific steps of the USMLE. Most likely, your study sessions will cover a mixture of both of these. Much of the USMLE is multiple-choice, but your instructor can also help you prepare for the patient encounters in Step 2 and the case simulations in Step 3. As always, your instructor can keep your test preparation process more general or they can tailor the process to fit your learning style.
