The medical profession will be better off by offering more skilled teachers available to more students via the internet, and I am truly grateful for Boards and Beyond and Pathoma, because I used both resources heavily, which paid off not only for exams, but I also credit these with my ability to cogently answer questions when pimped. Is GI cancer taught better by an experienced pathologist (Pathoma) or your basic scientist lecturer, who is an ineffective teacher and has no clinical experience? The physiology of heart disease will be best understood taught by an experienced cardiologist (Boards and Beyond) who has an incentive to teach you the material.

It is simply not necessary to listen to lectures. One thing remains true: no matter what, it is 100% up to you teach yourself and be disciplined about learning - no matter how good a resource is, it is only as good as the commitment you make the resource work for you, and then to understand and learn.Īll this being said, my two cents: I was very successful with Boards and Beyond, Pathoma, and Qbanks (Kaplan and UWorld). These resources are nascent 'disruptors ' which are in the process of reforming and improving the way medical students access information. This model works just as well with medical education, but it is simple: despite the competitive process to be accepted to medical school, there is very little incentive to improve the 'business plan' and make it consumer friendly.

Hi everyone - Amazon and iTunes figured out a long time ago that 'Big Box' stores would go out and consumers would go online for their wares.
