The USMLE® preparatory course will last 10 weeks. The Instruction language will be English. During the first 8 weeks, professors will introduce the theoretical parts of the Basic Sciences with a coordinated and partially integrated approach following the organization of the contents of the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) and the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). In order to assess the level of knowledge of the students; an exam will be applied at the beginning of the course. Students will be evaluated at the beginning of each week (Monday), starting on week 2 through week 8, to explore their weaknesses and strengths regarding the material taught the week before. A shelf exam will be administered at the beginning (Monday) of the 9th week. The last two weeks of the course will include individual tutoring based on each student's performance.
