LEAD Updates – Week of 02.16.26

UWorld Reminder

We hope you are settling in well as Semester 2 gets underway. As you continue building momentum, we want to highlight a key resource now available to support your academic success: your recent access to the UWorld Question Bank.

UWorld practice questions are one of the most effective tools for strengthening foundational concepts, identifying knowledge gaps early, and preparing for both your course exams and long‑term success on Step 1. Regular and active engagement with questions helps build essential clinical reasoning and test‑taking skills.

To help you stay on track, we strongly encourage you to prioritize completing the recommended 100 UWorld questions during your Pulmonary course and subsequent courses. Consistent use of practice questions will position you for greater confidence and readiness throughout Semester 2.

Please note:

• Completing 100 AMBOSS questions may be used as an alternative to the 100 UWorld questions.
• Other question banks (e.g., Board Vitals or Osmosis) do not meet this requirement.

If you need support with academic planning or have questions about how to integrate these practice resources into your study strategy, please reach out to your assigned LEAD faculty. Further, please visit SharePoint to access academic support materials including those that focus on effective use of practice questions.
