Residency application has become extremely competitive. Many international medical graduates have realized that an excellent passing score on USMLE Step 3 is now required for residency application.

Course Notes
One aspect of this course that is received widespread acclaim over the years is the course notes. Course Notes are given out at the beginning of the course. The notes are frequently updated to reflect the current trends in medicine and the USMLE. They are readily adjusted as new clinical information become available. For example, important new treatment guidelines and principles and emerging treatment trends are updated as soon as they occur. This is very critical because textbook publishing cycles take 4-5 years; books that were already on the market wouldn't be updated until a few years after new medical discoveries. Treatment guidelines for various diseases evolve over time, and exam candidates cannot depend on old textbooks alone, as the information contained therein are not updated frequently. The USMLE Insider Course Notes are rapidly updated by experts in various specialties. You can always count on getting the most current information!

Overview
Several people prefer online USMLE prep course because of an inability to travel due to family and work commitments. We therefore offer a LIVE online course for such individuals. It is offered in real-time just like ina classroom setting, so any participant can stop the lecture and ask any questionsimilar to the way one would in a live classroom setting. This means that it is not a pre-recorded video.
Through web-based discussion software technologies, students/subscribers can participate in asynchronous discussions; the conferencing software allows the lectures to take place in real-time. Participants will be able to view it from the comfort of their own homes vialaptops or PC or tablet and mobile devices. The notes are given out in the online lecture hall and participants can print out the material ahead of lectures. The lectures are also recorded and stored for students who may want to review them later. This also allows our former live lecture participants to benefit from the lectures again after they leave the live prep program.So, if you want to re-learn the material againand let us help you master it over time, this is an excellent option.
Timing/Schedule
Because the online course is a live lecture and it requires the subscriber to activelylisten and follow the lecture, a prearranged scheduled starting time is set up that should be convenient for the participants, who are typically in different time zones. Some lectures may be repeated for some people in different time zones. A typical lecture lasts 3-4 hours in the evenings.
Course Duration
We offer the online class within a 5-week period. Sometimes it maybe extended by a few weeks based on the participants' schedule. Most of theseindividuals have full-time jobs and parenting responsibilities and it istherefore difficult for them to have a class every day of the week.
