Who Are We?
The USMLE Times newsletter is written by me (Dr. Paul Ciurysek).
I’m the founder of The USMLE Guys. I’ve been a teacher, USMLE content creator, and medical student mentor full-time since graduating from medical school in 2009. My passion for academic medicine brought me to the world of tutoring in my 4th year of med school, which led me to start my journey as a USMLE preparation coach/teacher as soon as I graduated—now more than 15 years ago. Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of students and accumulated a wealth of knowledge about what it takes to succeed in medical school. Whether navigating the basic sciences, preparing for the Step 1 or Step 2 CK exams, or positioning yourself as the perfect candidate for your dream residency, I’m here to help—from a place of detailed knowledge and experience.
Here are some of the ways I can help you succeed:
1-on-1 Strategy Session: My favorite way to help students is with an intense 1-hour 1-on-1 strategy session. These sessions help students overcome whatever challenge they’re facing in just 1hr. This is the fastest, easiest, and most efficient way I can help you overcome your current struggles. Whether it’s USMLE prep, navigating the basic or clinical sciences, or figuring out your path to residency, this is the fastest way to gain clarity and actionable steps.
Step 1 Prep Group Program: If you prefer a structured program, our small group program is designed to supplement your individual preparation and enhance your knowledge, test-taking skills, and confidence.
The MasterClasses: Two of the biggest challenges I’ve encountered over the years working with 1000+ medical students are poor test-taking skills and a lack of understanding about what it takes to get into residency. These two MasterClasses are self-paced classes that go into extreme depth on both problems. The “Test-Taking Skills” MasterClass will turn you into a USMLE test-taking expert, while the “Roadmap to Residency” MasterClass will equip you with everything you need to position yourself for success on match day.
USMLE Guys on YouTube: If you’re into YouTube, our channel is packed with 1000+ videos covering anything and everything about medical school, USMLE preparation, and residency.
I firmly believe in the phrase, “If there’s a will, there’s a way.” As long as you have a will to succeed, I’m here to show you the way.
