Washington DC USMLE Tutoring FAQ
If you're pursuing a license to practice medicine in the United States you'll have to pass the USMLE, and Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Washington DC USMLE tutor who can serve as a guide through the licensing process and who can offer you a comprehensive review of the medical concepts that you'll have to show your understanding of on the exam. The USMLE, or United States Medical Licensing Examination, is divided into three sub-tests known as Steps. You can take these Steps years apart from one another, but you can't receive a medical license until you've passed all three. You'll have to show a wide range of skills on the USMLE, from fundamental scientific concepts to clinical communication skills, and it can be difficult to know where to begin studying. Washington DC USMLE tutors are highly-qualified experts who know the test inside and out, however, and can help you identify the areas of knowledge that you need to work on most urgently.
What are the advantages of working with a Washington DC USMLE tutor near me?
Considering the breadth of the USMLE, private one-on-one instruction offers some distinct benefits. Traditional classroom-based test prep requires you to learn at the same rate as your fellow students and necessitates a universal curriculum that doesn't always address your specific concerns. Washington DC USMLE tutoring, on the other hand, is flexible and can target the subjects that you need to brush up on, which can make for a more efficient use of your study time.
Perhaps you're confident in your general understanding of biology, physics, chemistry, and the like, but there are specific bodily systems like the nervous system or female reproductive system that you need to develop a more well-rounded understanding of before you take the test. To use this example, your instructor could then skim through the topics that you already have a strong base in and spend the majority of your time working on the areas that you're less sure about.
You can work at your own pace, as well. Everyone learns differently, and it can be beneficial to take the necessary time to truly grasp a subject before moving on to other concerns. Washington DC USMLE tutors can adjust their teaching approach to match your unique learning style, too. Many people find particular teaching methods to be more effective - you could be an auditory learner, for instance, and find discussion-based study sessions that allow for a back-and-forth conversation about the subjects at hand to be the best way to build your understanding. Or you could be a visual learner and prefer teaching aids like flashcards, diagrams, flowcharts, and other pictorial study tools. Whatever the case may be, your instructor can get a sense of what teaching techniques are the best for you as an individual, and can incorporate them into future lessons.
What concepts can I study when I enroll in Washington DC USMLE tutoring?
As already mentioned, the USMLE is broken into three parts. Step 1 is a multiple-choice test that's divided into seven hour-long segments. The questions you'll face here cover the basic scientific concepts that you'll draw upon when practicing medicine. Your score on Step 1 is particularly important, as it can affect your ability to be admitted to the residency of your choosing, whether that's through Georgetown University's School of Medicine or any other school. As medical schools have their own grading systems, which can differ from one school to the next, Step 1 of the USMLE has become the de facto standard measure that many residency programs use when comparing applicants to one another. For this reason, enlisting the help of a Washington DC USMLE tutor when preparing for Step 1 can be a sound investment in your future.
Step 2 is split into two sessions that you'll take over the course of two days. The first, Clinical Knowledge, is another multiple-choice test, this time made up of eight hour-long blocks. The second, Clinical Skills, will present you with 12 encounters with clinical patients. You'll have only 15 minutes to speak with these patients, so you'll have to use your time well and gather as much information about the case as possible. You'll then have ten minutes to compose a note to another physician suggesting three possible differential diagnoses and instructions for a follow-up. Washington DC USMLE tutors can give you advice on what questions to ask patients to garner useful diagnostic info, and you can practice techniques that can help you write brief but effective notes.
Step 3 again takes place over two days, both of which include a multiple-choice component. The second day will also include 13 computer-based simulations of patient cases. You'll have only ten to twenty minutes to work through the entire case, so time management can be crucial. Your instructor can drill you with sample cases so you can get a feel for working with these simulations and can go into the exam knowing what to expect.
How can I meet with a Washington DC USMLE tutor near me?
Washington DC USMLE tutoring is offered online, through our Live Learning Platform. The Platform includes integrated video chat software, so you can work with your mentor face-to-face from any location where you have access to the internet and a computer or mobile device at your disposal. This can make attending tutoring sessions easier and more convenient for busy medical students and residents and allows you to work somewhere that you find comfortable, distraction-free, and conducive to learning.
The Live Learning Platform includes a range of tools that you can draw upon as you work and that can make online instruction feel just like in-person study, like a virtual whiteboard, a shared document editor that you and your instructor can use to look over medical text side-by-side or to practice writing up Clinical Skills notes, and an automatic lesson recorder that lets you return to previous study sessions later.
