Medical School MD + DO Mastery

A 4-year, board-aligned study system for medical school and licensing exams.

Walk the full Year 1–4 curriculum — foundational sciences, organ-system blocks, clinical clerkships and advanced practice — each with mastery checklists and linked learning resources, plus a dedicated review system for school exams, Shelf/COMAT, USMLE Step 1–3 and COMLEX-USA Levels 1–3.

CLINICAL SKILLS I + PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

YEAR 1 | PAGE 18A - HISTORY + PHYSICAL EXAM CONCEPT MASTERY

CLINICAL REASONING STARTS WITH DATA GATHERING

Use a repeatable encounter sequence: OPEN + AGENDA -> HPI -> PAST/MEDS/ALLERGIES -> FAMILY/SOCIAL -> ROS -> VITALS/GENERAL SURVEY -> FOCUSED EXAM -> SUMMARY. Learn why each question or maneuver changes the differential, not just the checklist.

3.Introduction to the Stanford Medicine 25 - Stanford Medicinebedside frameworkWhy bedside examination matters and how deliberate observation, palpation, percussion and auscultation complement tests and imaging.
4.Cardiovascular Examination - Geeky Medicsfocused examStructured OSCE cardiovascular exam: pulses, JVP, precordium, auscultation, edema and verbal synthesis of findings.
5.Respiratory Examination - Geeky Medicsfocused examInspection, expansion, percussion, auscultation and common abnormal sounds organized as a reproducible station sequence.
6.Upper Limb Neurological Examination - Geeky Medicsfocused examTone, power, reflexes, sensation and coordination; use to practice both technique and concise reporting of normal/abnormal findings.

  • Run a complete interview from memory while remaining conversational; summarize back to the patient before closing.
  • For every exam maneuver, state the purpose, expected normal finding and one abnormal finding that would change your differential.
  • Separate comprehensive from focused encounters: the clinical question determines how much history and examination is needed.
  • Practice on real people/standardized patients under supervision; videos teach sequence and technique but cannot establish competence. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
