ADVANCED PRECLINICAL REVIEW PROGRAM
Chicago Medical Training Center’s mission of Total Residency Prep is to offer a unique
combination of board review preparation and clinical experience. This interesting
approach provides a better understanding of normal processes and changes in pathologic
situations. By pairing these experiences, participants are able to comprehend clinical
application concepts learned in class and are able to apply these concepts in clinical
scenarios. We offer multiple courses, adapted to the requirements and goals of the
governments and universities that use our services.
The program is designed to cover sixteen weeks. During that time students participate in
2 different sets of activities. The first eight weeks are related to USMLE® Step 1
preparation, which includes live lectures provided by highly experienced faculty hired by
the program; subject-oriented assessments; mid-term and final assessment; advising is
scheduled at least 3 times during the course to ensure accomplishments of desired goals.
Understanding that every student is different, we also offer tutoring to those who need it.
These sessions are scheduled twice a week, one on one with our principal faculty.
All students are provided with handouts and/or presentations containing the key aspects
of the class. All Subjects are based on the content description described in the USMLE®
Bulletin.
Basic Sciences are taught as individual subject, at the same time, clinical information is
presented in organ-based system, allowing integrating anatomy, physiology, pathology
and pharmacology in a logical and comprehensive way.
The second part of the course is known as Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine
(AICM), during these eight weeks students interact with patients, and develop the skills
required to do a diagnostic oriented physical examination, H & P, Soap notes, among
others. Students are also encouraged to keep doing questions using USMLE using a QBank while applying basic science knowledge.
All evaluations are done using online proctored exams by an APCRP faculty, the
assessment are assigned by the program director according to the schedule made
available to the students at the beginning of the course. It includes diagnostic, Daily by
subject assessment, mid Term and Final assessment. The purpose of these examinations
is to identify weaknesses and strengths of each subject individually in order to help
students improve and focus on their weaknesses.
The clinical rotations have rigorous evaluation system that includes: Attendance, SOAP
note, Patient log and Presentations, etc. At the end of the sixteen weeks a detailed
evaluation and grades of the students are sent to the medical school; up to 16 weeks’
worth of credit will be granted if medical school desire.
