Here is what some of our Southern students have to say about our USMLE Step 1 Review:
"Take it! It really helped me manage all materials and also helped me develop better time management skills."- Florida State University College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"Perfect is you are looking for a way to make sure that you're touching on everything the last few weeks before the exam. It was also great for reviewing and consolidating the little concepts that make a big difference on the exam."- Florida State University College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"The DIT course was the perfect way for me to prepare for Step 1. The pace of the instruction was just right and the workbook was a valuable piece of my preparation. I am certain that the review and new knowledge that I gained from the course made a great impact on my overall score."- Florida State University College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"The things I liked most about the DIT course was the structure and topic schedule. I also found the review quizzes to be extremely helpful and a good interactive way to make sure I had been paying attention!"- Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"I'd take it again. It was a good way to make you study and presented the information in an organized fashion. I believe it helped me achieve the score that I did."- Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"I enjoyed the course. It helped me stay on schedule and engaged in active learning."- Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"DoctorsInTraining.com is an ideal way to cover the material in First Aid initially. Using this program along with independent studying will result in a higher score."- Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"Overall, a very wonderfully organized program that really teaches you the higher yield important concepts that allow you to achieve a great score and great understanding as a future physician."- Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"I HIGHLY recommend the course. I will certainly recommend the course to all the upcoming second years at my school, as I feel like I did greatly benefit from it. I am very pleased with the Doctors in Training series!"-Mercer University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"It's great and prepared me for both the USMLE and COMLEX. I would highly recommend this course to any medical student."-Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Class of 2011
"I would recommend the course as a good way to get through First Aid in a logical order. I like how Dr. Jenkins pulls topics together by jumping around pages and pointing out the interconnections. He does a good job of making First Aid feel like a smaller book."-Oklahoma State University Medical School, Class of 2011
"My wife gave birth to our second child exactly one month before my test date so I knew I was going to need some help structuring my time. DIT helped me with that from the get go, forcing me to begin studying a little bit every day starting in February. Another reason I decided to take the course is because I knew I wouldn't be able to study effectively by sitting there reading books all day every day."-Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"It was a great way to make yourself study."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"The course was well organized and focused on high-yield topics. I credit this course with getting me past the step one exam."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"Helpful if you need lecture format. Important to do the work outside of lecture and always keep in mind that waht is covered in lecture may or may not be high yield. Make finishing your question bank a priority."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"It is good, but you have to supplement with practice questions. They tell you to. I didn't. Bad mistake."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"The Doctors in Training Online course was high-yield and convenient."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"Do it. Know it. Believe in it. this course helped me achieve a great score, but I think I could have done even better if I had stuck with the course more religiously."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"Forces you to stay on track with your reading of first aid. Teaches you facts that you will remember later on. If you know yourself to be low-motivation for Step 1 this is a good way to go, and much cheaper than other courses."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"Take it. You won't regret it!"-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"This is a very good program if, like me, you need ot have something structured to make sure you don't get off track or behind in your studying."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"I would definitely recommend the course. I am not the best standard test taker. I do well in my classes and always have, but for some reason I usually just do average on standardize test. I was happy with my score, and I feel like you did a great job helping me organize my studying. I was very pleased with the course as were all of my friends that used the course."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"It's awesome. Would highly recommend it!"-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"The quizzes were very helpful and it was a good way to organize things."-University of Arkansas Medical School, Class of 2011
"This is a great review course, especially if you have already gone over first aid once. I really appreciated the interactive lessons because it helped 1) keep my attention and 2) reinforce the information. LOVED the course."-University of Arknansas Medical School, class of 2011
"This course is great for people who need a structured plan and enjoy active learning during lectures through quizzes. There is a review quiz each day to start off and several quizzes throughout the lecture that day. The quizzes are great for cementing what you just learned and the plan laid out works pretty well - I made a 249!"-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"Use it. It will help you immensely!"-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"This is a great course, I recommend it to everyone."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"JUST DO IT."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"Definitely worth it! This was excellent preparation that I couldn't have done by myself. I would recommend the online videos because I liked being able to work at my own pace and pause them as needed."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"It's a great comprehensive review for step 1"-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"This program was great for the student who just can't get past little details. I never would have finished reviewing everything had I not done the program. It moves quickly, and definitely took me more thatn the alloted time per day to do the lectures, but it was well worth it because I did review everything. My score went up 13 points from the 1st practice test I took. While this may not seem like a lot, I was pleased considering that I had to take the mcat 3 times to get a good score and that I did not even get into med school on my 1st try. I loved the videos and quizzes. It provided me with motivation, rather than having the entire month of studying by self-driven. It also forced me to learn the things I probably would have put off/neglected because I don't enjoy them. Excellent review course with the most high-yield presentation of information."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"I recommend it highly for the structure it provided me. It accommodates the need to review and synthesize material at the same time. It is high yield and efficient. I would suggest using it in addition to USMLE world questions as well as your favorite review books for each class. It was especially good, because I saw everything in first aid three times."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"I have already toalked to some M2s and highly recommended the course. I wouldn't have done it any other way."-University of Mississippi Medical Center, Class of 2011
"I can't say enough about the DIT course. The course provided me with external guidance in organizing my studying and got me started early with the process of tackling first aid. Don't underestimate first aid. It truly is an amazing resource and the process of truly mastering the material in the book is wonderfully facilitated by the course. Dr Jenkins was right on with so many of his pointers in guiding me through the book. By the time I went through the online lectures, I had been through the book at least 2 or 3 times. Dr Jenkins then takes you through the book again... all the while encouraging you to use the online question banks. For me, the combination virtually guaranteed a high score. I wanted a 240 on the test and ended up comfortably above that goal thanks to the DIT course. I couldn't have done it without the course."-University of Missouri School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"DIT was really helpful in that it reviewed basic science and went through First Aid in its entirety. It would have been more helpful for me to have taken this course in March and then had 3 additional months to review on my own. the online lectures took much longer to go through than anticipated and there wasn't as much time in the evenings as I would have like; thus, it would have been more helpful to take the course earlier and then have more time(couple months) to review on my own before taking the test."-University of Missouri School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"It's very helpful and the active learning is a great way to emember the obscure details. The course helps consolidate all of the resources and makes it easier to study."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"If you suck at self motivation, this is the course that will grab you by the hand and drag you through it. Good final review before the test."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"Excellent Program! Worth every dollar!"-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"It's a good course that helps in terms of organizing material and presenting it in a connective way. It's primary strength is in integrating what may otherwise seem like disparate information from First Aid. The course is also useful in augmenting the bare bones skeleton of First Aid with additional, relevant information. The course alone, however, is not enough. Following Dr. Jenkins instructions in terms of independant QBank work and material review will ultimately determine your success on the Step 1. Doctors-in-Training is useful for organizing the material into digestible chunks that will push you to learn more, quicker than a typicla student would independantly."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"If you need somethiing to push you through the material (like I did), DoctorsInTraining is the thing to use. Also, several of the "different" ways of explaining the more confusing topics from First Aid were helpful to me."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"This course was just the right amount and level of studying that I needed to do well on step1. The style of the course, which involves answering open-ended questions, was critical to my learning process and for long-term retention. Overall, a great course!"-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"DIT was a great way for me to focus my studying for Step 1. I really like the daily quizzes because they helped me memorize the important concepts."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"Sign up for it in January and incorporate the emails into your normal study routine. Doctors InTraining is a great preparatory program for Step 1. I will definitely use it in prep for Step 2."-University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"DIT is a good basic review course that allows you to stay on task, making sure you review all pertinent material. I would recommend it in conjunction with a qbank. Brian does a good job of making sure you can remember a lot of the material and studying becomes a lot more manageable with the course."-University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"I felt like this course did an excellent job of helping me focus my studies and to get through all of the info in first aid, and then some. There were many questions on both USMLE and COMLEX that I specifically remembered Brian talking about."-Arizona college of Medicine, Class of 2011
"It's a great course if you are unorganized like me and need some discipline and a study plan. There were quite a few questions that come straight from the course materials, so I highly recommend Dr. Jenkins."-Loma Linda University, Class of 2011
"The DIT review course definitely gives you confidence going itno the exam!"-Loma Linda University, Class of 2011
"Use First Aid all year to help focus your studying efforts and become familiarized with the material. That will make Doctorsintraining.com more helpful and easy to navigate."-Loma Linda University, Class of 2011
"It's great, expecially if you are a concepts person and your need to work on memorizing the key important facts. It forces you to memorize, which is great!"-Loma Linda University, Class of 2011
"This is the best review course I've ever taken. This course will realistically take you to the 230s but you have to work hard! Put in 12 hrs days knowing FA, course material, all of USMLE World and you should get a good score."-Midwestern University Arizona College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"The course helped me tremendously. I was scoring 40-50% on USMLE World Q banks before the course, and by the end I got up tp 60-70% and was extremely happy about both my scores. The online course was perfect for me, the format was helpful having the online availability, the supplemental handouts, and all the lesson quizzes. the quizzes I think were a really important part of the course. I think the course really helped me to make sence of First Aid, and it really showed me the importance of all the topics in the book (especially being taught by a clinician). His clinical anecdotes were a HUGE help and they solidified key topics in my head."-Midwestern University Arizona College of Medicine, Class of 2011
"This was an excellent course! If it were not for the organized method that Dr. Jenkins went through for First Aid, I wouldn't have known what to study. I will be recommending this course to my friends and classmates. Start early and read First Aid 2-3x to maximize your score. All the information is really right in that book."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"It's a good course and I would recommend it to anyone!"-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"It gave me the structure that I desperately needed. However b/c the lectures took me so long to get through I didn't do as many practice questions as I really should have."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"I loved the course and would recommend it to any 2nd year students."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"It is comprehensive but rapidly paced. Don't use the online portion until you have a strong foundation."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"It is a good program. If you use it you will pass."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"I really like the structure of the course and I would recommend it to those taking USMLE as well as those taking COMLEX. The course is incredibly helpful to those who follow all of the recommendations made."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"DIT laid a great foundation for USMLE Step 1. Dr. Jenkins reads through First Aid at a more accelerated pace than I would have on my own. The repetition of the worksheets and quizzes was really helpful for learning the information. One of the main reasons I liked the online DIT course was that I could pause the lecture and take a break whenever I needed to, and if I missed something, I could rewind. I don't do well when forced to sit and try to pay attention through 8 hours of lecture, so the online course worked well for me."-Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (NV), Class of 2011
"This review will give you a guaranteed pass."-Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine (CA), Class of 2011
"This is a great course! Take it."-Touro University College of Osteopathic medicine (CA), Class of 2011
"This course helped me tremendously. Dr. Jenkins provided me extra details that were not in first Aid. He was also accurate with information heavily emphasized on the USMLE."-Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine (CA), Class of 2011
"DIT is an excellent program."-UCLA School of Medicine, Class of 2011
"Great program for those looking to boost their scores by 10-20 pts. However, you can't count on the course to get you into the 240 range unless you are already at the above average range with other practice exams. All told, this course was very effective with teaching strategy for studying and taking the test. My only advice, start seriously in January and keep a doable, yet stringent schedule."-University of Utah School of Medicine, Class of 2011
