The primary objective of the present educational research program is to improve upon existing
commercially available USMLE review programs. With the clear shortage of both residency slots,
the medical student's performance (score), on the USMLE assumes a new and critical importance.
Furthermore, there is a global need for 4.3 million new doctors and nurses. This shortage is particularly
evident in Central and Southeast Asia. Many of the needed new doctors will most probably be required
to pass the USMLE.
The primary objective of the proposed research program was to establish a framework for the development and establishment of a comprehensive Review Program for the United States Medical License Examination (USMLE) Step 1.
