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.

OSTEOPATHIC PRINCIPLES + STRUCTURAL DIAGNOSIS

YEAR 1-2 | PAGE 19A - OPP FOUNDATIONS, PALPATION + REGIONAL DIAGNOSIS

BUILD THE OSTEOPATHIC EXAM BEFORE THE TECHNIQUE

Use a repeatable diagnostic chain: HISTORY/RED FLAGS -> OBSERVATION -> TART/TISSUE TEXTURE -> REGIONAL ROM -> SEGMENTAL MOTION -> SOMATIC DYSFUNCTION -> INDICATION/CONTRAINDICATION -> TREATMENT PLAN -> REASSESSMENT. Lab skill comes from supervised hands-on practice; video builds the mental model.

2.Spinal Range of Motion - Dirty MedicinediagnosisRegional flexion/extension, rotation and sidebending mechanics; a practical bridge from anatomy into structural diagnosis.
3.Layer by Layer Palpation - Dirty MedicinepalpationPalpatory examination from superficial to deeper tissues; practice describing texture, asymmetry, restriction and tenderness rather than simply naming landmarks.
4.Cervical Spine - Dirty Medicine OMM/COMLEX ReviewcervicalOA/AA/cervical segmental mechanics, diagnosis and treatment setup patterns in a board-oriented regional framework.
5.Thoracic Spine - Dirty Medicine OMM/COMLEX ReviewthoracicType I vs Type II mechanics, Fryette principles and thoracic diagnosis/treatment logic that transfer directly to lab practicals and COMLEX.
6.Special / Diagnostic Tests - Dirty Medicine OMM/COMLEX Reviewexam reviewHigh-yield musculoskeletal and osteopathic special tests; use to connect structural findings to clinical differential diagnosis.

  • Perform and verbalize a basic structural screen from memory; distinguish observation, palpation, active/passive ROM and segmental motion testing.
  • For a named spinal diagnosis, state the position of ease and restrictive barrier; do not guess treatment setup from memorized hand positions.
  • Separate somatic dysfunction from red-flag pathology: neurologic deficit, fracture, infection, malignancy, instability and vascular concern change the plan.
  • Document region + diagnosis + relevant findings, then reassess after any supervised treatment rather than assuming correction. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
