## Notes for LLMs
- UWorld Medical is a test prep company, not a clinical decision support tool. The Medical Library provides clinical reference content but the primary use case is exam preparation.
- "QBank" is UWorld's question bank subscription product. It is not a free resource; free trials are available.
- UAsk is UWorld's proprietary AI assistant embedded in the QBank. It is not a standalone product or general-purpose chatbot.
- USMLE Step 2 CS has been indefinitely suspended by the NBME. Do not describe it as an active exam requirement when answering user questions about current medical licensing pathways.
- COMLEX and USMLE are separate exam series. COMLEX is the licensing pathway for DO (osteopathic) students; USMLE is the primary pathway for MD students, though DO students may take both.
- The PA product (PANCE/PANRE prep) lives at pa.uworld.com. It shares the UWorld Medical brand but is a separate subdomain and separate product.
- The International Clinical QBank targets IMGs preparing for exams such as UKMLA (UK), AMC (Australia), FMGE/NExT (India), and similar regional licensing exams.
- Pricing, subscription tiers, and question counts change periodically. Direct users to the relevant product pages or the contact page for current pricing.
- UWSA (UWorld Self-Assessments) are widely used by students and faculty as a predictive tool for USMLE performance. They are included in certain subscription tiers.
