  New President at SGU – Dr. Marios Loukas!
Posted by: Camila - 07-03-2025, 12:59 PM - Forum: St. George's University - No Replies

Hey everyone!

Just saw that St. George’s University has appointed Dr. Marios Loukas as the new President 

He’s been a big part of SGU’s academic leadership already, and now he's taking the top role. Super exciting to see someone with a strong background in medicine and education stepping in to lead the university.

As a student, I think this is a great move. Hoping this brings more innovation and growth to our community 

Thanks to SGU for sharing the news!

  How I Scored Well on USMLE Step 1
Posted by: Abigail Liu - 06-10-2025, 06:17 PM - Forum: Step 1, 2, and 3 preparation tips - No Replies

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience and study plan for USMLE Step 1. I passed with a solid score and thought it might be helpful for those starting their preparation. Here’s what worked for me:

  • Study Plan: I broke down the syllabus into weekly targets, focusing on one subject at a time.
  • Resources: I primarily used First Aid, UWorld, and Pathoma.
  • Daily Schedule: I studied 6-8 hours a day, leaving weekends for practice exams and review.

I hope this helps those of you preparing for Step 1!
