Just wanted to post this to clear the multiple allegations that are often thrown around on this thread without knowing the facts.

PASS
251
99
* The average STEP 1 USMLE scores achieved by UQ students in 2009:

* The average STEP 2 USMLE scores achieved by UQ students in 2009:
PASS
255
99
I'm not sure of the sample size but this does demonstrate that one can do well coming from this institution. From the students I have met who were in the pilot program of UQ students who first started rotating at oschner, there was one I had met who had taken the USMLE and he performed quite closely to the above states averages.
I just want to take the opportunity to tell people who are in the business of fear mongering on this subforum to move on.
