MD-Led. Science-Backed. Personally Guided.
DelphiUSMLE provides elite live online prep for CBSSA and USMLE Step 1 exams — combining proven science-backed methods with personalized mentorship to achieve outcomes that matter.
We truly understand the stress, anxiety, and fear of failure that surround USMLE Step 1 and CBSSA exams. These aren't just tests — they are the gateway to your life's calling.
At DelphiUSMLE, we believe that with the right guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support, every medical student can turn their dream of becoming a physician into reality.
We pride ourselves on maintaining small teacher-to-student ratios — giving each student the personalized attention they truly deserve.
"Delphi is more than a prep center — it's a results-driven experience built to get you across the finish line."
Our results speak for themselves — but behind every number is a student who believed in themselves and found the support to prove it.
All DelphiUSMLE instructors are M.D.s who have successfully passed all portions of the USMLE, are ECFMG certified, and have completed their residencies.
Live, MD-led online programs designed to meet you where you are — whether you're preparing for Step 1 or the CBSSA Comp Exam.
Two structured paths — Core (6 weeks) and Premium (8 weeks) — both delivering live MD-led Step 1 preparation built on the Understand, Memorize, Recall framework.
A laser-focused two-week intensive for medical students who need to conquer the CBSSA Comprehensive Exam — fast, high-yield, and live with Dr. Roy.
Dr. Roy Lingam has been training medical students for USMLE Step 1 and CBSSA Comp exams for more than a decade, achieving a remarkable 98% passing rate across his students. His teaching approach goes far beyond passive review.
What sets Dr. Roy apart is his ability to transform overwhelming volumes of basic science material into clear, clinically relevant frameworks that students actually retain. He teaches you how to think through questions — not just what to memorize.
Dr. Lingam is especially known for guiding students who had repeatedly failed the CBSSA and were on the verge of giving up — empowering them to turn their setbacks into triumphs.
"He teaches you how to think through questions — not just what to memorize."

Three commitments that define every student's journey with us.
No two students learn the same way. Dr. Roy builds a custom roadmap for your specific weaknesses, learning style, and exam timeline — so every hour you study counts.
We deliberately keep class sizes small so you're never just a face in a crowd. You get real attention, real feedback, and a real relationship with your instructor.
With a 98% passing rate over a decade of teaching, Dr. Roy brings deep personal experience with the USMLE — mentoring students who others gave up on.
With pass rates declining nationwide, the USMLE Step 1 has become more rigorous and complex. At Delphi, we've analyzed student performance data and reimagined how Step 1 should be taught.
Our teaching strategy emphasizes deep understanding through detailed lectures, followed immediately by concept-specific practice questions. Students master not just what the question is asking — but why the answer is correct.
We pair every concept with targeted UWorld practice questions immediately after teaching it. This reinforces retention, builds clinical reasoning, and trains students to decode complex vignette-style questions with confidence.
Research from three leading medical institutions tells us exactly what actually works.
"Are questions the answer?" — Students who completed ~2,000 practice questions saw significantly improved results. It's about questions, not just study hours.
"Study behaviors and USMLE Step 1 Performance" — Students who completed three or more passes through First Aid combined with practice questions were significantly more successful.
"Student-directed retrieval" — Practice questions are strongly associated with Step 1 performance. Anki use showed significant correlation. Wellness and mindset matter too.
After reviewing all three studies, the final conclusion is clear: using First Aid USMLE Step 1 while consistently practicing questions is the key to success.
At Delphi, we have a proven track record of helping students move away from ineffective study methods. Our 6 & 8-week Step 1 live online prep teaches all First Aid concepts in a digestible, stimulating format — followed immediately by UWorld analysis strategies to score optimum results.
Enroll once — and we guide you through both your Comp and USMLE Step 1, for as long as it takes. No re-enrollment. No extra fees. Just unwavering support until you cross the finish line.

Don't take our word for it — hear from students whose lives Dr. Roy has transformed.
Dr. Roy's course is extremely structured and high-yield, which helped me organize an overwhelming amount of material for Step 1. He broke down complex concepts into clinically relevant frameworks that directly translated into improved question strategy. I became more efficient, more intentional, and way more confident. I highly recommend Delphi to anyone who feels stuck and overwhelmed with USMLE prep.
Dr. Roy's passion for teaching and ability to tie everything together is remarkable. He filled many knowledge gaps and gave me the confidence to overcome imposter syndrome and my fear of exams. My NBME predictions went from a 52% chance of passing to a 94% chance, and I passed the USMLE on the first try. I am forever indebted to the amazing Dr. Roy.
When I contacted Dr. Roy, I had failed school CBSE and didn't know what to do. He gave me the courage to restart my prep. He keeps in touch with you and guides you through each practice NBME. He tracks your progress, meets with you regularly, encourages and believes in you when you don't believe in yourself. I not only passed CBSE — I just received my Step 1 PASS. I owe my passing to Dr. Roy.
