The School of Medicine at the University of Navarra will offer on September 17th  the International Foundations of Medicine (IFOM), an examination of basic science organized by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). 

This test can assess the knowledge of students and predict what their score would be on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) step 1. It is critical to be prepared for STEP 1 because there are no retakes if you score the minimum passing mark. IFOM also evaluates the level of education at the Medical School compared to US universities. 

The test is web based and is 4 hours with 160 multiple choice questions covering areas of anatomy, biochemistry and pharmacology, among others. The examination will take place in the computer classrooms at the School of Medicine.
