And beginning this spring, all third year PUMS medical students will enroll in a hybrid on-campus/live online class for the USMLE®, the multi-step licensing exam to practice medicine in the United States, to be led by Kaplan instructors. This will be in addition to the digital prep assets for the USMLE that PUMS students already have access to at the start of their third year. With the upcoming changes to Polish medical education curriculum, PUMS administrators, faculty, and students stand to benefit from resources such as Kaplan’s Educator Portal and, Quiz Builder, as well as Kaplan’s commitment to developing a Curriculum Alignment strategy for the country and PUMS.

Detailed performance reports will show students their individual strengths and weaknesses.
“One of our main goals as a university has always been educating highly competent, skilled, and employable medical professionals, who meet the highest professional requirements in Poland and abroad. Over the years, the robust resources provided to us by Kaplan have proven to be very efficient in helping us achieve this goal. We have experienced a significant improvement in our USMLE Step 1 pass rates and have seen stronger results on other national licensure examinations since introducing Kaplan’s tools and courses to our international student cohort over 10 years ago,” said the director of the Center for Medical Education in English at PUMS, Professor Aleksandra Uruska. “We are looking forward to building on this success and developing our cooperation further for the benefit of our students and graduates.”
