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.

ENDOCRINE DISEASE + THERAPEUTICS

YEAR 2 | PAGE 24B - PITUITARY, THYROID, ADRENAL, DIABETES + CALCIUM

INTERPRET THE HORMONE PATTERN BEFORE NAMING THE DISORDER

For each case: identify EXCESS vs DEFICIENCY -> primary gland vs central source -> expected upstream/downstream hormone pattern -> confirmatory test -> emergency risk -> mechanism-based therapy. Dynamic testing matters when a static value is ambiguous.

B. CLINICAL ENDOCRINE VIDEOS - CORE + INTEGRATION — DISEASE-INTEGRATION CHECK

  • Pituitary: connect hormone excess/deficiency to mass effect, target-gland labs and visual-field findings.
  • Thyroid/adrenal: distinguish stable outpatient disease from thyroid storm, myxedema coma or adrenal crisis.
  • Diabetes: connect insulin deficiency/resistance to hyperglycemia, ketosis/osmotic diuresis and chronic micro/macrovascular complications.
  • Calcium: use Ca, phosphate, PTH, vitamin D and renal function together; do not identify parathyroid disease from one value alone. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
