Boards and Beyond

> EdTech Support


"Boards & Beyond (Step 1-Preclinical)" is available to M1 and M2 Wayne State School of Medicine students.

Boards & Beyond offers an online virtual curriculum that includes video libraries and question banks designed to supplement existing lesson plans. The platform supports students in building a strong foundational understanding, making it useful for traditional and flipped classrooms, USMLE or COMLEX exam preparation, clinical rotations, and remedial review.

At WSU School of Medicine, up to 300 users can access Boards & Beyond concurrently from within the university network. Access is not restricted to a specific class. However, the content included in the "Step 1 - Preclinical" subscription is primarily focused on the foundational knowledge medical students need during their pre-clinical studies and for the USMLE Step 1 exam.

This subscription includes:

  • Over 440 instructional videos

  • More than 2,300 USMLE-style quiz questions

Each quiz question is linked to a corresponding video and categorized by topic. Users can also build custom quizzes. The topics align closely with First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, and most videos include references to the relevant First Aid pages.

Boards & Beyond is purchased solely for WSU School of Medicine (WSU-SOM) students. To receive the WSU-SOM access code, please contact the EdTech Support team at mededsupport@med.wayne.edu.

Note: Boards & Beyond is an IP-authenticated subscription, meaning access is verified through the WSU network. You will not be able to access Boards & Beyond off-campus unless you connect to the WSU network using multi-factor authentication (MFA) and the GlobalProtect VPN. For assistance with setting up the VPN or MFA, contact the WSU C&IT Help Desk at 313-577-4357.
