By now, you've probably heard about the Medical Student Study Strong System. And, most importantly, how it's an evidence-based learning system with three essential components that work together to ensure you truly LEARN the foundations of medicine in med school—in the easiest way possible.
To that end, we worked with expert physician educators to help us craft all the content in the Medical Student Core and Step 1 and Step 2 Qbank+, and we think it’s time for you to meet them!
Meet Ellen Scholnicoff, MD
MedStudy contributor Ellen Scholnicoff, MD, worked on many sections of the Medical Student Core and Qbank+. Here’s the inside scoop about the Medical Student Study Strong System.
Q- What stood out to you most about the Medical Student Study Strong System?
A- The Medical Student Core and Qbanks implement what students want: clear, thorough, accurate, yet informal discussions of the key topics they need to know. These products focus on high-yield information but don't just provide bare facts. What makes them unique is that they aim to help students better understand this information, and to enjoy learning more while studying, rather than being intimidated by their exams.

Q- Tell us a little bit about the sections you worked on. What makes it a great learning tool?
A- I worked on many different sections of the Medical Student Core, as well as much of the Qbank. Regardless of the topic, I always think about what will help students understand "why" and "how", which I believe is a key way to solidify memories. When writing, I see myself as a teacher, and I want to make sure my students are comfortable with the material and anticipate what their questions might be. The excellent figures, images, and tables throughout the different sections also greatly enhance the learning process.

Q- Do you have any advice for students about studying during medical school and how these tools might help?
A- Start studying early so that you don't feel stressed as the exam approaches. You could organize your study schedule based on the topics from the Medical Student Core, and/or use the products as review materials for your current classes or rotations in medical school. The Qbanks are a great way to test your knowledge, especially because they are linked to the relevant topics in the Core.
Q- How do you think these learning tools stand out from others for medical students?
A- The student products are not mere lists of facts. These are true review textbooks written with the purpose of ensuring students truly understand and enjoy learning the high-yield information they contain.
