Led by Dr. Hans Wolf, WOLFPACC’s USMLE Step 1 review course uses the signature POWER 5 methodology to help students understand how foundational medical sciences connect across organ systems. Instead of treating physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and other subjects as isolated facts to memorize, students learn to recognize relationships and apply those concepts to clinical scenarios.
That same active-learning philosophy carries into our live lectures. Students are encouraged to ask questions, work through concepts with instructors, and understand why an answer is correct—not simply memorize it. Combined with individualized tutoring and ongoing assessment, this approach helps students develop the clinical reasoning and question-analysis skills needed for Step 1 and beyond.

Unlike self-study alone, a Step 1 review course gives you structure, pacing, and expert support. WOLFPACC helps students organize high-yield basic science content, identify weak areas, and stay accountable through a guided preparation process.

Our Power 5 Methodology: Often Imitated, Never Duplicated
Developed by Dr. Hans Wolf, the POWER 5 methodology is WOLFPACC’s physiology-based approach to helping medical students connect foundational concepts across organ systems. While others have attempted to replicate it, no one delivers it with the expertise and impact of Dr. Wolf and the WOLFPACC team.
Our Power 5 methodology integrates the five main organ systems through a physiology-based approach, emphasizing the common links between them. By understanding how systems interact rather than studying them in isolation, students develop a deeper, more cohesive grasp of medical concepts—leading to stronger clinical reasoning and long-term retention.
About the USMLE Step 1 Exam
The USMLE Step 1 is a one-day, computer-based exam consisting of approximately 280 multiple-choice questions divided into seven 60-minute blocks. It tests foundational medical sciences, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology, with an emphasis on disease mechanisms and clinical application. Expect to encounter clinical vignettes, requiring critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The total testing time is around eight hours, including scheduled breaks. Although Step 1 is reported as pass/fail, building a strong understanding of the foundational sciences remains important for success on Step 2 CK and throughout clinical training.
