Core Course Assistance
Assistance in the second-year SOM curriculum is primarily provided by the course faculty.
Preparation for USMLE Step 1
OESS educators are available by appointment to discuss effective
study strategies for combining USMLE Step 1 review with mastering
second-year curricular material. Performing solidly in second-year core
courses typically increases USMLE scores more than sacrificing core
course studying to focus specifically on USMLE review.
Subject reviews:
If there is sufficient student interest, OESS educators will offer
reviews of specific first-year subjects; these reviews typically are
scheduled to coordinate with the content of the second-year curriculum.
