USMLE Step 1 Exam Review Course

NOTICE OF CHANGE: USMLE STEP 1 to Pass/Fail Scoring

The USMLE program will change score reporting for Step 1 from a three-digit numeric score to reporting only a pass/fail outcome. A numeric score will continue to be reported for Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) and Step 3. Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) will continue to be reported as Pass/Fail. This policy will take effect no earlier than January 1, 2022 with further details to follow later this year.

InCUS – Invitational Conference on USMLE Scoring

 Step 1 – WOLFPACC Overview

Our comprehensive review covers all the basic medical sciences in an organ system based approach known as the “POWER 5”.

The POWER 5 approach is designed to teach a major system and correlate it to the previous one presented. This approach takes the memorization out of medicine and shows you that all the organs are connected through physiology.  As each week passes here at the program, you will gain not only knowledge and how to apply it, but will truly enjoy the learning experience.  This method allows you to have total command of the material in every situation when presented. 

The live lecture is taught in a very interactive manner.  This means that students are inspired to openly ask questions.  This removes the repetitive nature of most programs and their passive learning style.  Students are also taught concepts, retention techniques, clinical thinking, and not rote memorization. We provide everything a student needs to succeed and pass the USMLE Step 1 with high scores.

Covered material includes, but not limited to: Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Anatomy, Neurology, Behavioral Science, Genetics, Microbiology, and Immunology.
