The “QBL” Method: To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, the lectures use a method called “Question-Based Learning.” Lectures are constructed from a series of board-style multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question’s topic.
Top-Flight Faculty: Lectures are presented by experienced, board-certified faculty from top teaching universities. Further, our two levels of medical editing ensure every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and 100% board-relevant.
