Dr Francis = Success on Steps 1 & 2 Dr. Francis’ “clues” are FREE POINTS on exam day!!! His daily question drills did so much to boost my confidence and show me that I do know the material, I just get tripped up on distracting information and test-writer tricks. Not any more! Dr. Francis, you are my hero.

The PASS Program led me to my success… The PASS Program led me to my success in medical school. Dr. Francis truly has the most efficient method I’ve ever learned when learning concepts. My physiology knowledge was lacked before I started this program, now, I passed my exams and scored honors in all my rotations. My preceptors were all impressed with the knowledge I knew because making connections was the key of it all and it was because of joining PASS. And of course, all thanks to Dr. Francis and his outstanding staff!

This review truly breaks down medicine… This program truly breaks down medicine and how to truly approach everything knowing physio, biochem pharm and pathophysiology. What it’s missing is anatomy, embryo, and imaging. It’s more than solid knowledge above and beyond the boards. However, it needs to be complemented with those other areas that are missing. I love how Dr Francis truly breaks down how to approach the objectively a question. A thing no other review course does. It’s a solid review to truly understand medicine and test taking skills.

Room to Improve, but Great Professor I really enjoy Dr. Francis' teaching style. He is very engaging and connects the concepts to promote understanding. He teaches physiology really well. There can be improvement with the way biochemistry and biostats is taught. It would also be helpful to have most of the lectures on the scheduled days (it has been running over time more often than not), which can be very intimidating for students that need to retake their exam soon. The course is very expensive, but does not include ethics nor practice questions or exams. I am grateful that the live course is recorded, however it does not include tutoring hours. It would be helpful if the drill ppts were made available to students. The provided Quizlet is helpful, but can also be updated as there are a few items that are incorrect. The OMM portion of the class was not communicated well during the first week and not as helpful throughout the course.

Great Resources for USMLE Preparation Dr. Francis is an amazing teacher. He is dedicated to helping students get a deeper understanding of normal physiology, which is key to passing ALL STEP exams. I subscribed to the morning questions session and I am glad that I did. During these sessions, you not only learn how to approach USMLE questions but you also get encouragement from testimonials and support from >100 medical students who show up every morning from 6:30 - 8:00 am to learn with you. It was through these sessions that I got paired with a study partner who played a huge role in helping me prepare for the Step exam. I also recommend one-on-one tutoring sessions. They are affordable, personalized, and priceless. Lastly, I highly recommend subscribing to the pre-recorded lectures where you will learn ALL the physiology you need to learn to successfully pass the USMLE and shelf exams as well as become a better provider.
