USMLE Step 1 Virtual Panel Discussion

[Radek]

LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS AND WILKINS will hold an orientation conference via telephone and Internet with the first 50 students who register. The participants in the conference will be four of our USMLE review titles authors.

The students will have the chance to chat with them, ask questions and listen to their suggestions. Participation is free. All CMU students are encouraged to register.

This is the first event of this kind and it will very likely have a second part, depending on the success of this one. We look forward to have our students participating of this interesting experience.

I wanted to know what is the passing rate for the USMLE 1? What is the percentage of students that are able to have residency? Are students able to have their first residency choice?

Our current USMLE Step1 passing rate for first time takers is 59.4%. Residency is mostly based on students USMLE scores but all those who passed are eligible to have residency. FMG have always their first residency choice.

Mainly with these caribbean medical schools, they simply provide you a gateway for being eligible and taking the USMLE exams. It really come down to the individual to strive and work hard - and as you put it, you are what you think you are - you will only reach a certain potential that you yourself have made as the cap/limit.

To all of you in the medical-school boat, best of luck, wherever you are and whatever level you are at.
