    Q- What are you most proud of, when it comes to your contributions to these student products?

    A- The level of relevant, updated and evidence-based content I could bring to the table, and my ability to winnow this down into easily digestible material that is useful and high-yield for medical students.

     

    Q- Do you have any advice for students about studying during medical school and how these tools might help?

    A- Learn your learning style. If you’re a visual learner, draw out picture, diagrams, take notes as you write, ... And don’t ever assume you’ve got the competency until you can demonstrate it by self-testing and practice questions.

     

    Q- How do you think these learning tools stand out from others for medical students?

    A- The cross-linking [interlinked content] is excellent between the sections of the product. If you encounter a challenging Q&A, it’s easy to reference the key information found in the core content and, from there, get to other related topics. The information is all high-yield and easily digestible. And all the content and questions have been authored and edited by physicians actually practicing in the relevant fields- you can be sure the information is up to date and relevant both to test-taking AND practical clinical knowledge.
