ABSTRACT:

 

Kaplan Medical, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington Post, has been the leader in Medical Licensing Preparation for 35 years. Our array of offerings for all Steps of the United Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) range from Live physician/professor-led instruction, to video physician/professor self-study, to online content and question-based review (Qbank). The Qbank, first developed in 1998 and updated annually, is now available for all steps of the USMLE. It represents the first online customizable database of USMLE-style questions. Students customize their own tests by several variables, take them under exam-like or tutorial like scenarios, and then receive comprehensive analysis allowing them to focus on needed areas. In addition, they receive detailed explanations that review all of the answer choices. Qbank also keeps track of prior exams for re-review and cumulative performance so students can track their progress. The unique functionality of Qbank, which fully leverages the benefits of web technology, has led to its widespread acceptance in medical schools around the US, and many international medical graduates throughout the world.
