Collaboration Offers Students Unprecedented
Access to Clinical Training and Preparation for United States
Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE) In One Location
Becker Professional Education, a global leader in professional
education and part of DeVry Education Group, announced today a new
partnership with the Chicago Medical Training Center (CMTC). A
quality medical education provider, CMTC develops domestic and
international physicians-in-training into doctors. The Center will
now, in conjunction with Becker, offer USMLE® preparation courses
enabling medical students to have access to efficient,
comprehensive training and study options in one centralized
location.
CMTC’s 40,000-square-foot main facility, located in the South
Side of Chicago, houses lecture rooms, Clinical Skills facility, an
auditorium, simulation center, library and more. In addition, CMTC
provides more than 20,000 hours of clinical clerkships a year
through agreements it has in place for its students, who can
partake in classes and clinicals with thousands of physicians at
more than a dozen facilities throughout the city.
Becker Professional Education, an official exam review provider
for the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), will now bring
its comprehensive approach, prominent professors and innovative
technology to CMTC’s facility and students allowing them, for the
first time, to combine Becker’s USMLE preparation with CMTC’s
clinical clerkship rotations.
“At Becker we are always looking to make advancements that
ensure our medical students have access to the best resources in
order to succeed on the USMLE,” said David Bartholomew, vice
president of healthcare at Becker Professional Education. “Our
partnership with CMTC allows us to provide another level of
preparation by layering in their clinical training with Becker’s
high quality USMLE exam prep.”
“Aligning with Becker will allow our medical students to fully
maximize their training and USMLE preparation time by creating an
all-encompassing, yet compact schedule with rotations in the
morning and exam training and preparation in the afternoon,” said
Dr. Youssef Majed, co-founder and chief operating officer of
CMTC.
The primary goal of Becker and CMTC’s partnership is to provide
medical students with a centralized study hub in an effort to best
prepare them for their USMLE and ensure they can remain competitive
in the National Residency Matching Program® (NRMP®). The matching
process continues to be highly competitive as the number of
residency slots has not kept pace with the number of students who
have graduated in recent years from medical school. In the most
recent cycle, 42,370 registered applicants, the highest number
ever, competed for 30,750 positions, according to the National
Resident Matching Program®. Succeeding on the USMLE Step 1 is a
critical step in becoming a doctor for all medical students.
Becker will begin offering USMLE Step 1 courses at CMTC on
Thursday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 16.
