THE JOURNEY

Dr. Marish Asudani is the co-founder of P2A Consultancy and a PGY-1 Internal Medicine resident in Tampa, Florida.

As an International Medical Graduate who navigated the USMLE pathway himself, Dr. Asudani understands the challenges IMGs face — because he lived them.

He completed all three USMLE Steps in under 11 months of cumulative preparation, scored 254 on Step 2 CK, and achieved 230 on Step 3 with only 3.5 weeks of prep — without ever using UWorld for Step 3.

He aced all his residency interviews and was applauded for his personal statement at every single one.

His Mentorship Results:

• 100+ students mentored across all Steps and interview prep

• 98% Step 1 pass rate among mentees

• Student high scores: 269 (Step 2 CK), 249 (Step 3)

• 95% of ERAS students received 2+ interview invitations

• Helped multiple residents who failed Step 3 not only pass but ace retakes

• Multiple students achieving 230+ on Step 3

• Helped YOG 2013 candidates successfully match

THE APPROACH 

"I don't believe in studying harder. I believe in studying with a strategy that leaves no room for guesswork."

• Pattern Recognition Over Volume — USMLE isn't about memorizing everything. It's about recognizing what they're actually testing.

• High-Yield Integration — Every concept connects to others. Learn the framework, not the fragments.

• Accountability-Driven Execution — Knowing what to do means nothing if you don't do it. That's where mentorship makes the difference.

• Pressure is a Privilege — The USMLE journey is hard. But it builds something in you that can't be taught.
