Our Internal Medicine Board Review Course presenters are highly lauded in their specialties, and some are recognizable on the national stage we’re looking at you, Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM. You might recognize our pulmonary medicine speaker from “Chasing The Cure” with Ann Curry, “The Doctors,” “CNN,” and “Inside Edition."

Raj Dasgupta says that his "passion is teaching and integrating the basic science with clinical medicine. I truly feel medicine should be fun and interactive." He is currently Associate Professor at the University of Southern California (USC). He is also quadruple board certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. 

He has been working with MedStudy since 2014 and has used his extensive Pulmonary Medicine knowledge in projects like the Core Audio Pearls, Q&As, and of course, has been a speaker for our Courses and Video Board Reviews over the years.

Here's an inside look at what he had to say about MedStudy's Internal Medicine Board Review Course and advice for those preparing for upcoming exams.

What do you like most about speaking at MedStudy courses?

 

MedStudy is my second family. I love interacting with the staff and all the attendees.

 
What advice do you have for those who are attending the course?

 

Have fun and ask lots of questions. Focus on the 'high yield' topics that the lecturers emphasize on during their presentations. Stay healthy during the course by continuing to exercise, getting enough sleep and trying to eat healthy.

Do you have any resiliency tips? 

Spend the most time on topics you do not feel comfortable with. Set a study schedule up to the day of your board exam and stick with it. Be positive!!! 

What is your favorite memory from a MedStudy course?

That's easy, giving my MedStudy Pulmonary/Critical Care lecture in Cancun, Mexico. Also, sharinh the stage with my wife, Dr. Koolaee who teaches Rheumatology.
