USMLE Web Prep Combo 9 months (Step 1+2)

For almost 40 years, Kaplan Medical has been dedicated to helping medical students and doctors prepare for a series of exams known as the United States Medical Licensure Exams (USMLE). The USMLE exams are essential to gain a U.S medical residency position and ultimately become a licensed doctor in the U.S. The USMLE Step 1 is the first in the series of three USMLE exams that candidates must pass in order to qualify for medical licensure.

To assist in your preparation for this critical USMLE exam series and the U.S. residency process, Kaplan offers a wide variety of course options. You can either study the steps individually for a minimum of 3 months, or get the best value for money with a Combo course if you plan to prepare with Kaplan for more than one step. The USMLE Preparation courses include DVD-based lectures, course books, simulated exams and practice questions.

The Web Prep Combo 9 months course offers you the flexibility of accessing the Step 1 lectures videos from a computer at home or work, and provides 30 visits to access the Center for the Step 2 video course.
