Should I start UWorld alongside my content review, towards the end of content review, or after my content review? I would like to hear what some of you recommend and at what stages of your studying has UWorld helped.

I would honestly would do it alongside with content review. Practice > content review.

I completely agree that practice is more rewarding than content review on this exam. But I would hold off on doing anything from UWorld until you've practiced the with other resources and are familiar with content. For me, I found TBR passage (for the sciences at least) to be better at training me to think the way I needed to on test day. Once I got down the content and how to connect the dots between different disciplines using their passages, then I was able to get more out of AAMC and UWorld materials.

Agreed with this- I would save UWorld until after you're finished with content review. Doing practice before finishing content review just leads to many mistakes due to not knowing the science.
