World-Class Instructors
We have hand-selected an amazing group of award-winning lecturers from top US Medical Schools and Residency Programs. Many of our instructors hold MDs and PhDs, and all have years of experience in preparing future physicians for the USMLE. With their firsthand knowledge of the exam and a clear understanding of how your results impact your career in medicine, they are uniquely qualified to help you easily recall and utilize information when truly needed — so you’ll succeed in your exam, and in your career in medicine.
We truly believe we’ve found the best of the best. And we aren’t the only ones who think so. In addition to the large number of publications and awards our instructors have received, we ask students in our live courses to rate our instructors after each course — and the average instructor rating is 4.86 on a 5-point scale.
