Welcome, this is Devine. 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 USMA-LES, they've definitely undergone some changes over the last few months.

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

They have changed their focus.

First part of that change in focus is there is 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,'ve been like 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 I'm tuned to step-on as an exam. This class covers that in great in great

detail. If you've listened to my podcast you have an idea of how I teach. So really during
