For students

Study for every exam, in one place.

A 4,238-question bank — Step 1 (1,266), Step 2 CK (718), Step 3 (664), MCAT (1,590) — every question original and triple-checked: written fresh, then solved cold twice by independent reviewers before it ever ships. Build fresh practice sets by exam, discipline, and difficulty; drill flashcards; let Study mode schedule your spaced repetition; ask Elsie, your AI tutor, to talk you through anything you miss; and watch your progress across every exam from one dashboard.

For faculty

The professional toolkit, on one page.

Everything for teaching and assessment lives on the faculty page: build assignments with receipt codes, co-write items in the Question Studio with Elsie (every item triple-checked before it saves), work the accreditation / DCI toolkit with a role-aware Elsie, draft the dean’s letter with the MSPE auto-builder, run the gradebook and curriculum mapping, and read class analytics — difficulty, discrimination, and which wrong answers pull hardest. Kept deliberately separate from student study content.

Accreditation

The most robust LCME accreditation guide anywhere.

The SI LCME hub tracks the standards the way accreditation actually works: every standard and element searchable, an accreditation toolkit of official documents, LCME 101 guides, a monthly updates tracker, role-based briefings — and Elsie, a copilot that drafts, critiques, and reasons from the standards text itself. Built from public, national sources; explicitly unofficial.

How it works

A translator, not a pundit

Medical education runs on documents: USMLE content outlines, AAMC admissions statistics, NBME performance profiles, LCME standards, NRMP match data. They are authoritative and, frankly, hard to read — scattered across PDFs, dense tables, and jargon. The SI MedEd family puts the working parts of those documents into plain language in one place, grounded in what the official sources actually say. Nothing here replaces an academic advisor, a licensing bulletin, or the official exam sites. And everything here is explicitly unofficial: these guides interpret public information; they don’t speak for the bodies that publish it.

Public data only

Every number cited carries a year and a source. No school-internal data, no leaked questions, no confidential anything — only what’s published and citable.

Guidance, not advising

These sites give you the information to think clearly about admissions, exams, and accreditation. They are not a substitute for your own advisor, dean, or the official guidance.

Officials cited, links kept

Official publications are summarized and paraphrased, never reproduced at length. The original document is always one click away, with links checked regularly.
