WHO'S THERE?
You're going to want to read this to know!

Just who is behind Global Academies, its medical board exam review programs, the Q-bank app, & the proprietary medical memory course?

First off, what you should be mindful of is that there is no genius skill requirement when creating a medical licensing board review program.

All review programs use the same material, same subjects, same practice questions & same topics covered in MD1 to 4, over and over and yes, over again. Makes sense, right?

The magic doesn't come from your First Aid Step review book, it's hundreds of mnemonics, or the fact that a doctor teaching the course rated in the top 98th percentile on the Step exam.

So then, we ask you, what do you think

makes a review program great?

Global Academies sets the record straight about what makes a medical board review program great!

Chicago IL USA

Whoop de doo, doc.

We have an important & mindful message for you to reflect upon. What makes a review program great is solely reliant upon the doctors' or scientists' presenting & teaching skills.

Even if our doctors are top-rated & high-achieving academics, the review program must be based upon the students' needs, capabilities, blended with a strong dose of motivation, organized scheduling & personal empowerment during the review process.

Here it is from a different more personable angle. Global Academies' exclusive program attributes involves the following:

Your needs must be known, understood, & taken into account.
Building your skills to reach top-notch marks, skills that we know are missing, is a must. We are talking about magical abilities of memorizing masses of information instantly and seeing the secrets behind tricky USMLE questions designed to distract, thwart & taunt you.

You will rant, complain, cry, throw your hands up (hopefully just your hands are thrown) & panic during the review process. This usually kicks-in at week 3 of 8. Keeping you focused, motivated, happy, grounded, 'pumped', & focused is probably 50% of our job as professors. Your attitude, mental health, & spirits in this process will make the difference between success & not so successful, a pass & a top-notch level of achievement.

So, back to those high achiever doctors, congrats to them for having achieved top-notch scores on their board exams.

Kudos to them

Truth be told, it's not about them. This is about you & only you. This is your review experience, your challenge, & your success.

Those doctors' education experiences, blended with a strong dose of genetics, inherent motivation, drive levels, & cumulative academic journey, dating back to, yes, pre-kindergarten, are very likely the reasons why they sat at the 98%ile levels.

We opine that even at 98%ile, they are at the 5%ile level of the curve for not realizing this is not about their achievement. You must participate with a review program, THE REVIEW PROGRAM, that takes the following into account:

Your own personal make-up of education quality,

2. Your personality structures, 3. Your cultural input, 4. Your habitual factors & 5. Your inherent focus & memorization skills. Albeit Global Academies' own faculty achievements, staring at us all day isn't going to give you a guaranteed pass. What you need is the following: 1. our understanding you as an individual, 2. a precisely scheduled format of lecture, study, questions & memorization-recall timeline, 3. attention to the knowledge & study skills you need to develop &, admittedly, 4. our years of experience on the differences between what you really need to know, understand, memorize & filter, blended with a precise process you must apply during your testing encounters that has been strategically calculated to reach a high-scoring pass ranking.

The Fair-Game List

The buyer beware clause applies to review programs. Stay away from those programs who bluntly brag about the creators' very own accomplishments. Your experience is not going to be the same as theirs. As scientists, it should not take a lot of reflection on your part to understand the fact these types of marketing claims can be dangerous.

The key to a successful review program is to first access all of the material you are expected to understand. USMLE let's you know what's on their fair-game list. Then, keeping you focused, motivated, stable & calm will be the hardest part of our job.

fundamentals & sum-up the data around what is considered high-yield,

We then must calculate on every re-print of USMLE's fair game list, the fundamentals & sum-up the data around what is considered high-yield, We must continually change the review program content's outlook via high-level questions that make you critically think, & logically understand material. This is where our proprietary Q-bank app comes in. And let's not forget the fact that profs need to understand you, as an individual... Your strengths, Your weaknesses, Your mindset, Your confidence, & even Your mental health. This is all Your personal make-up, your exam, &, inevitably, it will most definitely be Your outcome. 'Dumping' you after a 'fail' is not an option for Global Academies. If anything, it would only be the beginning of more analysis, mentorship, teachings & push-notifications from Global Academies. We are as determined to get you that license to practice medicine, no mater how long it takes. So do not be impressed by who stands behind programs as much as what is involved in the program that is fundamentally personalized. So whatever program you chose as your board review program, keep this message in mind.

Right from the home page message, our faculty works diligently & steadfastly, together, with each individual student, with only one goal in mind, that being our students' success.

Our blog-type article series above outlines what students should not settle for when selecting their board review program. We hear & abide by these critical key medicine-specific board review course criteria.

Keeping all those points in mind, blended with our original programming entitled The Edge, we can bet on achieving our own academic goals, which are founded solely upon our students' successes.
