E57: Santiago Acosta Quiroga

How you must study to obtain a USMLE Score

on both Step 1 & 2 in the 99th Percentile!

Santiago Quiroga is a Foreign Medical Graduate from Colombia – currently going through his internship at Fundación Cardio-Infantil, Colombia. He attended Medical School at one of the most relevant if not the best Medical School in Colombia: Colegio Mayor Nuestra Senora del Rosario.

Despite the limitations that COVID-19 has imposed on IMG/FMGs to set up rotations outside of the country, he has found a way to strategize and plan his future.   

After extensive research and after collecting the necessary evidence to launch himself into this endeavor, he has proven that there is “NO MAGIC SAUCE or SPECIAL SECRET” to score in the 98-99th percentiles of the USMLE test, in both Steps 1 & 2.

The Key: Studying with a purpose, ongoing deliberate practice, perseverance, hard work, and dedication. Yes, you read it, 98TH and 99th Percentile for each of those tests.

We discuss the method that he used and implemented to break the barriers at test-taking. He also proved himself that his English was good enough and proficient to launch his own YouTube channel – at Santiago AQ. The link for his channels are here below:
