Whether you are a student from Eastern Virginia Medical School looking for a convenient way to prepare for your USMLE or a student from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine who wants a well-structured review with expert instructors, Varsity Tutors can help answer your needs with our Virginia Beach USMLE course. We can help aspiring medical practitioners to prepare for the USMLE without going to a physical classroom or review center. Our courses are offered online, so it's easier for students to participate. The courses are taught by USMLE instructors who have several years of experience teaching the material to prepare students for the test, so you can be sure that you're getting quality test prep.
What are some of the topics a Virginia Beach USMLE prep course can cover?
The United States Medical Licensing Exam, or USMLE, is made up of three different exams called "Steps." You are required to pass Step 1 and Step 2 to become eligible for Step 3.
In Step 1, there are 280 questions divided into seven 60-minute blocks with 40 questions each. The questions test you on basic science subjects like biochemistry, pathology, behavioral science, anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology.
Step 2 has two sections that include a mix of multiple choice questions and practical cases where you need to examine and diagnose actors posing as patients. The first section is called Clinical Knowledge (CK), and you will need to answer 316 multiple-choice questions designed to check your abilities in the scientific principles needed to practice medicine in a supervised environment. The second section is called Clinical Skills (CS), and you will need to address 12 patient cases. You are given 15 minutes to examine each patient and another 10 minutes to write each patient's notes.
Step 3 also has two separate sections. It is the last step in the USMLE. The first section has about 230 multiple-choice questions, while the second section has about 180 multiple-choice questions and 13 computer-based patient care simulations. You are given a maximum of 10 or 20 minutes of time for each simulation.
Besides the content of the exam, your Virginia Beach USMLE class instructor can also teach you useful tips and test-taking techniques that can help you efficiently answer the questions in each Step. Unlike other standardized tests, the USMLE assesses your ability to apply knowledge to practical, real-life clinical settings. Your instructor can talk about some of the best ways to approach a test like the USMLE.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Virginia Beach USMLE course?
If you are worried about not being able to study properly for the USMLE because you can't find a suitable course time, or if you want to avoid a long commute, our USMLE course is the answer. There are many course times to choose from since the course is conducted entirely online. You can take a morning course before you start your classes at med school, or you can enroll in an evening course if you think you can focus more on studying in the evening. We also have afternoon courses and weekend courses, so you can easily fit your USMLE prep into your schedule. The online course is conducted live, which means you can see and hear your instructor and the other students in the course as if you were in a physical classroom. This makes it possible for you to ask questions as you learn alongside other aspiring medical practitioners.
Our Virginia Beach USMLE class is led by instructors who have many years of medical and USMLE experience. Your instructor can help you think like a physician through discussions that encourage you to combine your knowledge of basic science and clinical science principles with patient care skills. The course also makes it possible for you to request a one-on-one meeting with your instructor if you need extra help on a particular topic. Every aspect of the Virginia Beach USMLE class is designed to help you get a hassle-free, thorough review, which can boost your confidence and skills before test day.

Oygul: Virginia Beach USMLE course instructor
I have taught biology, chemistry and physics laboratory for three years, and have tutored these subjects and MCAT for the same number of years as well. I encourage my students to take an active learning approach and set goals of mastering the material rather then memorizing it. In addition to building a knowledge base, I like to emphasize critical thinking and problem solving. ... My teaching approach is based on the premise that intelligence is malleable. During my undergraduate years and teaching, I met a lot of students with deterministic view about their learning abilities, and saw how this belief affected them in areas they thought they were "not good at."? Usually, these students were worried about the outcome (grades) more than their performance during the course. I help alleviate their anxiety about grades by redirecting their attention to their learning habits.
