What Makes This System the Perfect Resource?

Digital Core content is interlinked to Q&As at the topic level. One click takes you from the Core to Qbank+, and vice-versa.

The interactive Personal Trainer tracks student progress throughout medical school and guides them using the best evidence-based learning techniques. It takes students through the 3 phases of learning for each topic, including spaced repetition as needed to keep the must-know information always accessible in long-term memory.

The content of the system is written from the ground up exclusively for medical students. It covers:

1. What physician-educators agree every med student must learn

2. The most testable concepts of each item in the USMLE®️ Content Outline

From day one, students who use our system are learning the optimum medical school curriculum in a way that consistently reinforces the must-know information while automatically prepping for Step and Shelf exams (no cramming necessary!).

How Can the System Save Students & Faculty Time AND Enhance Their Resiliency?

The system is extremely adaptable and flexible, and the sequence of sections can be changed at any time with no lost data. It is a powerful learning system for med students but can also be a big help for instructors. 

If fully implemented at your school, the system will save a tremendous amount of time for both students and faculty, and will enhance the resiliency of both by allowing for a better quality of life and more time to focus on other important aspects of learning and teaching.

Students shouldn't be over-stressed about the standardized exams, but rather spend their time truly learning medicine.

The system will reduce the variations in teaching materials and methods that naturally occur within a school and provide a refreshing overall cohesiveness to medical student studies and the way they are taught.

New teaching faculty can immediately access the perfect set of materials for their course. The Core and Qbank+ cover what med students are expected to learn with great explanations and special emphasis on must-know information.

How Will This System Give Residency Directors a Replacement for the Step 1 Graded Exam?

With the USMLE® Step 1 exam results going pass-fail, residency directors are without the assessment tool many have long used for initial sorting of med student applications.

In response, students are rushing to beef up their applications with certain electives, courses, etc. Yet the director's concern is, instead, whether they have indeed learned and retain the requisite medical school knowledge.

Reports generated from the Medical Student Study Strong System will give residency directors exactly what they are looking for and more: a replacement for the Step 1 graded exam that is an even better assessment of medical knowledge and a good indication of a student’s grit.
