USMLE Minis: Step 1 as an IMG

A question that pops up every once in a while...is UWorld offline worth it? In this quick 5 minute talk, I explain why I think that it is not.

You're going to be taking Step 1 in a few years' time and want to start preparing for it, but are unsure of how? This podcast episode covers the five undertakings that I think you should do in your first years of medical school, long before you start actively preparing for Step 1.

Most students in the U.S. take Step 1 after their second year of medical school, but that's not how it usually works for IMGs. Here are a few things to consider when figuring out when to take your exam. Let me know what other questions you have - feedback is always appreciated, and expect podcast quality to get better with time.

Introducing an exciting new project that I've been brainstorming in those final weeks of preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam. The podcast is brand new, and my first ever, so any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated! It's aimed to help fellow IMGs answer those very specific questions that pester them during their preparation.
