Welcome. This is Divine. This is just a quick blurb on the Step 1 class that's going to be coming up soon.

So the thing is, many of us know about step 1, right? It's an exam where your basic sciences are tested.

But the thing is, especially with this transition to pass fail, the USMLEs, they've definitely

undergone some changes over the last few months.

Basically, the exam still test basic science details, but they have changed their focus.

They have changed their focus.

First part of that change in focus is there's now a heavy focus on

integration of content across multiple disciplines. So they don't just focus on linear testing,

like, oh, this creates this. No, it's more of like, okay, wow, can you put two or three pieces

of information together to spit out an answer?

That's one.

Two, many of the questions have been transformed to pretty much focusing on more clinical descriptions of disease.

So the basic science facts these days, you're going to see them with a pretty heavy clinical context.

And you'll even notice that many medical schools have kind of figured this out.

They've been like, hmm, you know what?

How about we let our students take step one after their clinical years, right? Just to kind of help you prepare for that reality.

So with all these test modifications in mind, I have created a course that covers a large majority of the tested

basic science concepts in an integrated format. And it doesn't just cover it in an integrated

format, it emphasizes clinical scenarios as commonly encountered on the exam. And the thing is,

there are some principles that are like some critical reasoning principles

that are more attuned to step one as an exam.

This class covers that in great detail.
