Doing well on the USMLE is not just a matter of studying hard, but of learning how to "think like a physician." In this site we apply what we know about medical education, cognitive psychology, and basic neurological processes to help you to do your best on your most important exams!

Access to current articles is a easy as clicking on the topics on the left margin.  These articles address a range of common isues that students ask about when preparing for USMLE and other medical related exams.

Archives of past articles are also available at our Blog (link at the top left of this page). Additional articles and commentary are added periodically.

Submit questions that you want answered or suggestions for future commentary by using the e-mail address at the top of the page.

Think about how you are preparing and learn to do it better. Remember, it's not what you know, but how you think that makes the difference in your score!
