Boost USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills ~ Less Expensive, More Intensive

EVMS/Tulane Clinical Skills Review Course

Why Us? Who We Are

We have trained thousands of students over many years

At this critical juncture in your medical education, you want better than the bare minimum.

For-profit operations might rent space in prestigious universities, but EVMS and Tulane offer the nation’s only Step 2 CS programs operated by LCME-accredited medical schools.

Both EVMS and Tulane served as test sites when the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) decided to add the Step CS to the boards.

Mastering clinical knowledge is not enough. If you fail in a test of clinical skills in interactions with real patients, you must retake the exam, jeopardizing your residency.

Mastering clinical skills can only be learned hands on from experienced practitioners.

They [EVMS' standardized patients] are the best trained, the best disciplined and highly skilled and, without exception, they knock the socks off our physicians.

Linda Casey, Director of the Massachusetts Center for Birth Defects Research and Prevention (formerly of the American College of Physicians)

Nationally recognized leaders

Your course directors are nationally recognized leaders in the field of Clinical Skills education – the people the National Board of Medical Examiners consulted extensively as it began to implement the USMLE Step 2 CS.
