Is the first consultation really free? +
Yes. The first session is completely free and carries no commitment. You will receive your personalized study plan and an initial review of your preparation. Only after that do you decide whether to continue with a paid plan.
How quickly will I receive my study plan? +
Within 24 hours of your enrollment submission. Your plan is built manually by Dr. Dumirieh — not generated automatically — and delivered as a day-by-day Excel schedule and PDF summary.
I am far from my exam. Is it too early to start? +
The earlier you start with a structured plan, the better your preparation compounds over time. Students who start 6–8 months out consistently reach higher scores than those who compress preparation into 2–3 months. It is never too early.
What if I miss sessions or fall behind? +
Your plan is adjusted every week based on real progress. Falling behind is expected at some point in any long preparation — the weekly session exists precisely to recalibrate and prevent cascading delays from becoming crises.
Can I cancel my plan? +
Yes. You can cancel at any time after completing your initial plan period. There are no lock-ins beyond the commitment period you selected at enrollment.
Do you work with Step 1 and Step 2 CK students? +
Yes — both. The preparation approaches are fundamentally different between Step 1 and Step 2 CK, and Dr. Dumirieh has personal first-hand experience with both exams, having passed Step 1 in 5 months and scoring 260+ on Step 2 CK.
What resources do I need to have? +
For Step 1: UWorld, First Aid, and Pathoma or Boards and Beyond are the core. For Step 2 CK: UWorld, CMS Forms, and Inner Circle Notes. Your plan will specify exactly what to use and in what order — you do not need to purchase anything in advance.
Is this only for Egyptian or Arab students? +
No. Dumirieh works with IMGs from any country. Dr. Dumirieh has coached students from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Sudan, Pakistan, and beyond. Sessions are conducted in English or Arabic based on your preference.
