The OHSU School of Medicine seeks to support the academic success of all students.  

Student academic support services provides assistance with strategies that enhance learning, test performance, mastery of material, time-management strategies and academic resilience.  

Test preparation resources and information for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK and Shelf Exams, are available through workshops, seminars and one-on-one appointments.

Formal peer tutoring is available to all students in the Foundations of Medicine phase as well as the Clinical Experience Phase of the curriculum. 

Formal Peer Tutoring Program

The goals of formal peer tutoring are to:

• Promote independence and student engagement in learning
• Acknowledge student insights into the learning process
• Acknowledge diverse ways of knowing and learning
• Respect individual differences
• Personalize each tutoring session

Group tutoring sessions are offered throughout the week and are offered at times that do not conflict with lecture, small group or other commitments.  Additionally, the Formal Peer Tutoring Program offers small group tutoring in the anatomy lab.
