NYPC/USMLE Academy still alive and doing well


Recently, some former students, and now detractors of our academic project, had been trying to spread the rumor that our USMLE academy is going out of business: nothing more false than that statement. We are now working with a small group of students to whom we are to devote the best efforts to ensure that our students not only graduate from our program but also that they take USMLE and enter in HHC residency training programs.In the past, we were just graduating students and of the 72 of them we graduated last December 2007, we have no information that any of them went to take USMLE step I: that will happen no more. Our academy is now under the leadership of a qualified KAPLAN Instructor, Dr Fuentes, a young Colombian MD who is already working in our re3search program. We will no more raised crows that at the first glance will try to take our eyes. We are no longer to sponsor people that do not make merits by helping the community and/or fellow students. We learned from past experiences and are now placing the past where it belongs. Anyone who does not believes in our values can go to the competency to look for knowledge but when ready to enter into residency training, please do not come to us for help: tell them to advocate for you. We are close to make arrangements with HHC authorities and program directors, as well , to ensure the successful entrance of our graduates to accredited program, beginning next year. After a meeting that NYPC board of directors will held next Thursday, we will be in the position to inform the latest in our successful endeavor. Socrates Castillo, M.D NYPC/USMLE Founder
