USMLE Preparation

USMLE Preparation

Preparing for any of the USMLE exams can be a chore, but it is an excellent way to review the medical material you will be expected to know as a physician. The higher your score on the USMLE Step 1, the better your chances of matching into a competitive specialty at a competitive institution.

Below are some useful links:

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
In addition to using Kaplan and USMLEWORLD, you may be interested in using some of the MCQs below for practice. The point of any MCQ is to test your ability to recall and integrate the information learned in the first two years of medical school.

USMLE Step 3 Content Introduction

USMLE Step 3 Content Introduction

Step 3 Content Description
Step 3 Problem/Disease List

The design of the Step 3 Content Outline has been influenced by the review of empirical data drawn from several sources, including, for example, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Discharge Survey. The diseases noted in the outline do not represent an all-inclusive registry of disorders about which questions may be asked. Questions are generally, but not exclusively, focused on the listed disorders. In addition, not all listed topics are included on each examination.
