USMLE & COMLEX Tutor in Wyoming

Wyoming has no medical school of its own. Its students go through WWAMI, the University of Washington School of Medicine's regional program: the University of Wyoming's WWAMI program admits 20 Wyoming residents each year, and they spend the first 18 months, the Foundations Phase, on the Laramie campus (University of Wyoming). About two and a half years of clinical training follow at hospitals and clinics across the WWAMI region, including sites in Wyoming (University of Wyoming).

Wyoming programs offered 15 residency positions in the 2025 Match, all of them in family medicine (NRMP).

Facts about Wyoming

• The University of Wyoming's WWAMI program admits 20 Wyoming residents each year, who spend the first 18 months of medical school, the Foundations Phase, on the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie. (University of Wyoming)
• After the Foundations Phase, Wyoming WWAMI students spend about two and a half years in clinical training at hospitals and clinics across the WWAMI region, including sites in Wyoming. (University of Wyoming)
• Wyoming WWAMI students take USMLE Step 1 after the 18-month Foundations Phase, which they can complete entirely in Laramie, including focused preparation for Step 1. (University of Wyoming)
• After Foundations come a 12-month Patient Care Phase of six core clerkships (family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry and surgery) and a 15-month Explore and Focus Phase of electives and advanced rotations. (University of Wyoming)
• Wyoming WWAMI Foundations classes run with about 20 students and a student-to-faculty ratio of about 20:1, and exams use identical questions and format at every WWAMI site. (University of Wyoming)
• The Wyoming Track selects up to six students a year from across the WWAMI region, who typically complete five or more of their six required clerkships in Wyoming. (University of Wyoming)
• Students in TRUST, the Targeted Rural Underserved Track, are linked to one Wyoming community for all of medical school and must complete WRITE, a 16- to 20-week longitudinal integrated clerkship in a rural Wyoming community. (University of Wyoming)
• RUOP pairs a six-week research project with a four-week clinical immersion in a rural or underserved community in Wyoming or the WWAMI region. (University of Wyoming)
• To qualify for Wyoming WWAMI, an applicant or a parent generally must have been a Wyoming resident for five years before matriculation. (University of Wyoming)

Step 1 in Laramie, clerkships across the region

Wyoming WWAMI students sit USMLE Step 1 at the end of the Foundations Phase, and they can do all of Foundations in Laramie, Step 1 preparation included (University of Wyoming WWAMI curriculum). The class is small, about 20 students, and the exams use the same questions as every other WWAMI site, so a Laramie student is measured against the whole five-state class.

After Step 1 the class scatters. Up to six students a year join the Wyoming Track and do most of their clerkships in Wyoming; TRUST students return to one rural community and complete a 16- to 20-week integrated clerkship there (Wyoming Track; TRUST). We plan shelf review around whichever site and order a student draws, and start Step 2 CK work during the clerkship year rather than after it.

Which board exams Wyoming students take

Wyoming's WWAMI students start at the University of Washington School of Medicine's Laramie campus, so their degree is the MD and their exam series is the USMLE: Step 1 (reported pass/fail since January 26, 2022), Step 2 CK and, after graduation, Step 3 (USMLE).

The Wyoming list shows no DO school. DO students from other states who train in Wyoming's hospitals sit COMLEX-USA: Level 1, Level 2-CE and Level 3 (NBOME). Wyoming's attempt rule names both series in one line: 7 total attempts on USMLE or COMLEX in 7 years (FSMB).

Wyoming licensing rules that affect your exam plan

Wyoming's board puts both exam series in one line. FSMB lists 7 total attempts on USMLE or COMLEX in 7 years and a time limit of 7 years, or 8 in a combined DO or MD/PhD program. Training before a first license is 2 years, or 1 year with current specialty board certification or 5 years of continuous licensure (FSMB).

What Wyoming's rules mean for how you study

• Wyoming counts 7 total attempts on USMLE or COMLEX in 7 years (FSMB). Three Steps passed first time use three, and each retake draws on that pool; the USMLE program caps you at four per Step (USMLE eligibility rules).
• Wyoming's window is 7 years, or 8 in a combined DO or MD/PhD program (FSMB). FSMB's line gives no start date, so confirm with the Wyoming board before adding a research year or a leave.
• A first license asks for 2 years of training (FSMB). The 1-year route needs current specialty board certification or 5 years of continuous licensure in good standing, so it is for practicing physicians, not new graduates (FSMB).

Many Wyoming students rotate, interview or match next door. Wyoming's neighbors on our list: Colorado (1 MD, 1 DO), Idaho (0 MD, 1 DO), Montana (0 MD, 1 DO), Nebraska (2 MD, 0 DO), South Dakota (1 MD, 0 DO), Utah (1 MD, 1 DO).

How much Wyoming searches for board prep

Wyoming's highest search ranks belong to the clinical-year exams: USMLE Step 2 is 2nd of 51 among the 50 states and DC and shelf exam is 4th, with USMLE Step 1 at 12th and the general USMLE term at 20th. COMLEX sits at 48th, which fits a state with no DO school (Google Trends, October 2021 to October 2026). Those are high ranks for a state whose WWAMI program admits 20 Wyoming residents a year (University of Wyoming).
