I am so grateful that I was pointed in the right direction and heard about the Pass Program. The content of the course is very thorough. Dr Francis explains the basic and clinical sciences in a way you can understand and integrate. This is a lifesaver if you are not a recent medical graduate. I now feel very confident that I will do well on Step 1 because this course has provided me the necessary tools. The successful track record of PASS Program is no surprise to anyone who has taken this course and done the work. I am truly empowered, and I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about the USMLE exams.

Dr. Francis made concepts I never understood since basic chemistry understandable and relatable. Treat this course like a job and you’ll see the results.

Dr. Francis and his Pass Program Team helped me raise my USMLE Step 1 score by over 30 points in the 5 weeks that I was there. Stay committed, focus and be ready to work hard. In the end, it is worth it. This was a phenomenal program, and I can see myself using the information that I learned for the rest of my medical career.

Dr. Francis is an excellent teacher who gave me the confidence to perform well consistently throughout my medical school and board exams. His program also filled the gaps that my medical school had in it's non-traditional medical education that minimized lecture time in favor of group learning. His tutors are excellent and know how to work with all learning styles. His staff are also excellent and very compassionate.

Glad to hear the support was so strong from all angles! 🙌

That's so great to hear! Understanding the "why" behind medicine really changes the whole learning experience. Dr. Francis really seems to have a gift for making complex concepts.

I signed up for the Live Online course for Step 2 CK. I ended up not using this program for my studies and hired a personal tutor with Med School Tutors. When I first signed up for the course, I did not get a clear welcome email or call. I had to call the company and ask clarifying questions on how to use it. I then found out that we are expected to watch ALL step 1 lectures in addition to all step 2 lectures. It added up to over 8 hours of lecture per day. When is one supposed to study? After 8 hours of lecture? That was unrealistic for me. Additionally, the lecturers ranged from great to boring. I feel that they were teaching for learning as opposed to aiming to have students pass the test. I would not recommend the Live Online course.

Thank you for the feedback, Shannon. We're sorry the onboarding wasn't clear and that the Step 2 CK structure didn't fit the way you needed to study. Points well taken. We wish you all the best. – The PASS Program Team
