"I'm an international medical graduate (IMG) from outside the US. When I was preparing for the Step 1 exam, I found Differential Diagnosis, which really helped me, even though I was working full-time. Dr. Usama's lecture videos were great for building my knowledge, and having a personal tutor made a huge difference. It made me more organized and clear about how to study for the test. If you're struggling with your Step 1 prep, I highly recommend Differential Diagnosis"

Dr. Usama is a remarkable tutor. In just over a month, he transformed my performance from a 44% correct rate on NBME exams to an impressive 82% correct. He took away my confusion and gave me confidence, supporting me every step of the way. Studying for USMLE exams, especially Step 1, can be incredibly stressful. But Dr. Usama was there to ease that stress. He helped me think clearly and even made learning USMLE fun. What makes Dr. Usama unique is his dedication to his students. He genuinely wants you to succeed, going above and beyond to ensure you not only pass but excel. I'm eagerly looking forward to working with him again. I give him a solid 10 out of 10 and highly recommend his tutoring at Differential Diagnosis.
