Feeling overwhelmed by the USMLE exams as an IMG? Dr. Adesina, who has taken both the USMLE and COMLEX exams, understands the pressure and difficulty that these licensing exams present. After hearing stories from IMGs who faced difficulties with integrating into the US Medical Education system and the USMLE exam by extension, he founded Smash USMLE to help IMGs navigate the process and achieve success. He shares some key pieces of advice on acing the USMLE exams on the first try.
Worried about Step 1 moving to pass-fail and what that means for new applicants? Despite recent changes to the USMLE Step 1 exam format and suspicions that Step 2 will become the new filter for prospective applicants, Dr. Adesina remains confident in the importance of mastering both basic and clinical sciences. He shares his strategy, which emphasizes the importance of properly preparing for Step 1 to excel on Step 2!
Concerned about the disadvantages that IMGs can face when it comes to gaining US Clinical experience? Dr. Adesina knows that as an IMG, finding opportunities for clinical experience can be challenging. That's why his program includes strategies for sourcing USCE, so IMGs can be as competitive as possible in the residency match process.
But is Smash USMLE just another USMLE preparation course? The answer is a resounding NO. At Smash USMLE, Dr. Adesina doesn't just focus on exam prep. He believes in training better physicians and making a positive impact in the community. His ultimate goal is to help IMGs fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors, no matter the obstacles they face.
