What Student's Say
"I found the MedSmarter program extremely helpful. I not only attended the Step 1 Course, but I also did the one on one tutoring with Dr. Untara. Dr Untara is the best. She is very caring, compassionate as well as very smart and knowledgeable. All of the staff at MedSmarter are very professional and personable. Everyone makes you feel like part of the family. I really enjoyed MedSmarter and have passed Step 1. I will be attending for 2 CK in near future and would highly recommend to anyone looking to prep for their USMLE board reviews."

“There were a bunch of programs to choose from and consider, but I felt that MedSmarter was the best one for me. The best thing about MedSmarter is its individualized approach and support along with its small class size. Dr. Untara and all the instructors were encouraging and helpful. They helped point out my strengths and weaknesses and worked with me to tackle those areas. I feel that I have a better understanding of the material than when I first came here. I am impressed with how organized the program is, the learning facility, and how nice and helpful everyone is. Everyone here wants the same thing you want, and that’s for you to do extremely well. I highly recommend MedSmarter to anyone looking to take the next step on their USMLE exam.”
