SKD 091 - Basic Science Review Course

Basic Sciences Review Course I (SKD 091) is designed to help medical students who did not take or pass the USMLE Step 1. As in the Skills Development course (SKD 090 ), the main objective is to provide students with a protected time to participate in an independent and comprehensive review of the basic science subjects. The course provides a semester for independent study in preparation to re-take and pass the USMLE Step 1. A tutor is assigned to meet weekly with him. A study plan must be submitted, and student progress in the completion of the plan is monitored.
