If you said YES
to any of these questions: Contact SIU
School of Medicine's Student to Student
Tutoring Program.
This
service can arrange tutoring sessions for you to meet with a
forth
year medical student who was in your shoes not long ago.
STS tutors can work with you on a variety of skills including:
Tutoring on
topics you choose, identifying useful resources in textbooks or online,
discussing how to organize material for USMLE preparation, or even just
chatting once or twice to help ease the concerns of how to approach and
fit into 2nd or 3rd year.
Everyone has difficulty learning and studying during their medical school career. None of us can learn it all. So, if you feel like you could use some help, then go ahead and let us help you.
Want to check it out or ask a question? You can arrange as few as one session or a series of sessions.

further information or to request sessions please
