The Institute for Professional Preparation, founded in 1981, maintains the goal of training students to use scientific knowledge,
the scientific method, logic and the application of higher order thinking
skills for academic success. The Institute prepares medical students for
their national board licensure examinations (USMLE Step 1, Step 2 and
Step 3) and specialty board examinations.
The technique of Supplemental Instruction is the cornerstone for
the instructional methods used in the IPP medical student programs.
Video Supplemental Instruction is a videotaped program used with
trained facilitators at other universities for on-site review of basic
sciences. The institute serves as a consultant with allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in program development, both nationally and around the world.
