USMLE Content Description and General Information.
NOTE: Providing the following information does not represent an endorsement from UTRGV School of Medicine or the Office of Student Affairs. To help you choose preparation material, we have provided a list of the different types of resources available. While all of these resources are helpful, it is important to figure out what works for YOU! What works for another classmate may not be ideal for you. You may be a little overwhelmed by the number of potential resources out there. Achieving your ideal Step 1 score takes discipline, hard work, and focus. As you begin to choose your Step 1 resources, it is important to understand that there is no “magic pill” or “magic study resource” that will help you reach your desired score.
