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.
How can I enroll in a Virginia Beach USMLE course?
The USMLE is a grueling exam that aspiring medical students take at different points during their time in medical school. This means that each time you prepare for an upcoming Step of the USMLE, you'll have to invest a tremendous amount of time and effort. We can help you do your USMLE review the right way.

Nikolas: Virginia Beach USMLE course instructor
...While I can tutor a variety of subjects, I am most effective in teaching science courses. I also am able to help students with test prep, especially the MCAT. My goal as a tutor is to help students achieve their goals in the classroom through both content specific learning, in addition to study skills and time management. In my free time, I enjoy exercising and playing with my 3 month old golden doodle puppy.... My teaching philosophy is to empower, as opposed to enabling, students to master the subjects that they desire.

...school and college and have had both formal and informal experiences tutoring/teaching students. I've been a teaching assistant for several undergraduate chemistry courses and currently am still TAing for an introductory chemistry course. My teaching style varies depending on the student's needs but in general, it consists of presenting basic principles and drawing connections between them. When solving problems, I tend to be more Socratic and help guide the student in applying information.

Antonio: Virginia Beach USMLE course instructor
I like to be creative and adapt to the learning style of a student. My goal is to make learning fun and never feel like a chore.... Adapt to what kind of learning the student best responds to; that way learning is fun and easy going, and never frustrating.... Get to know each other a bit, in order to know how to approach each topic the best way possible.... I think making different suggestions on how I taught myself, the material could bring some insight to someone in how to go about understanding the topic.
