Washington is home to med students at schools including the University of Washington School of Medicine (the WWAMI program) and WSU's Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine — and because our coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, students at every program in Washington (and Washington residents studying out of state) get matched with the right Step 1 coach for their timeline and NBME gap.
Since Step 1 went pass/fail, the goal is simple: a safe NBME predicted-pass margin before you sit. The fastest way there isn't more content review — it's a plan that targets your actual weak systems, validated by practice-exam data every week.
