Medical students use several strategies for United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 preparation. At Ohio State University College of Medicine, a yearlong, peer-designed and -led Step 1 review course is a new option for our second-year students. This study aims to ascertain the value of the peer-designed and -led Step 1 review course, to assess the difference in Step 1 scores between participants and nonparticipants, and to understand the course's role in improving preparation for Step 1 among participants.
Eligible students completed a confidential survey. Scores between participants and nonparticipants were compared, controlling for preexisting differences between groups.
Course participants had a higher average Step 1 score than nonparticipants (P = .005). The majority of participants felt the course was a valuable use of time and would recommend it to future students.
A Step 1 review course designed and led by near-peer senior medical students, those who had successfully completed the USMLE Step 1 exam within the previous year, was shown to be valuable to second-year medical students and improved Step 1 score outcomes.
医学生在准备美国医师执照考试（USMLE）第 1 步时会使用多种策略。在俄亥俄州立大学医学院，为期一年的、由同龄人设计和领导的 USMLE 第 1 步复习课程是我们二年级学生的一个新选择。本研究旨在确定由同龄人设计和领导的 USMLE 第 1 步复习课程的价值，评估参与者和非参与者在第 1 步得分上的差异，并了解该课程在提高参与者第 1 步准备方面的作用。
符合条件的学生完成了一份机密调查。在控制了两组之间预先存在的差异后，比较了参与者和非参与者的分数。
课程参与者的 USMLE 第 1 步平均得分高于非参与者（P =.005）。大多数参与者认为该课程是对时间的有价值的利用，并会向未来的学生推荐该课程。
由近龄的高年级医学生设计和领导的 USMLE 第 1 步复习课程，这些学生在过去一年中成功通过了 USMLE 第 1 步考试，对二年级医学生来说是有价值的，并提高了 USMLE 第 1 步的考试成绩。
