One of the best things about Bootcamp is the organization and intuitive interface. I appreciate the short chunks of information that are sandwiched by practice questions. The videos help me to identify high yield information. The team is also helpful and responsive.
Overall, Bootcamp has been a very useful tool for studying in medical school.
Med School Bootcamp has been really helpful to me in preparing for NBME exams and consolidating lecture material from class. The practice questions have given me a great way to actively test my knowledge of the material and the curated resources are great review materials. The interface is great and easy to use and makes studying or doing practice questions really fun!
I really like Med School Bootcamp for my Step 1 prep. I like the user interface a lot more than other similar resources.
My favorite part is definitely the review questions between videos and at the end of a video series. It helps break up the content so you’re not monotonously watching an hour long video. It also basically serves as built in retention which is so crucial for an exam like this.
Overall Bootcamp is an invaluable resource and is the backbone of my prep.
Bootcamp has been a lifesaver throughout my first couple of years in medical school. I used it for anatomy and histology, now I’m using it for my path and pharm courses. It does a really great job at breaking things down and focusing on what’s it important!
Med School Bootcamp has been a life saver for me. I personally learn well through videos followed by questions. The "bite-sized" questions are a perfect place for me to start thinking about basic concepts critically, and the board style questions really help me put everything together. All of the instructors have a way of consistently presenting topics in an accessible way.
Med School Bootcamp has been an incredible resource for me. The videos are very high yield and the information is explained so well in these 10 - 30 min videos as they not only mention the important points, but explain the mechanisms or reasonings behind it so you’re understanding the content and not just memorizing it. Having all the information on one slide also makes it so easy to consolidate my notes and quickly review the content.
Highly recommend using Bootcamp!
As someone who is not a visual learner, I struggled to find alternatives to some of the other, more image-heavy resources. Bootcamp became my primary resource for not just learning new information, but also reinforcing it with the built-in question bank. I followed the 9-Week Step 1 Study Schedule to prepare for COMLEX and passed it on my attempt with no problem! I only wish that I knew about Bootcamp when I was taking first year Anatomy.
I took my exam on 5/20 and got my results on 6/14 and I had a couple friends who wanted to know what I did in order to pass. First, I'd like to say that overall my exam was very similar to the free 120s, Bootcamp qbank, and UWorld/Amboss.
I used Bootcamp for my exam and it was more than perfect for when I needed to review the content. It's organized by subjects and has many quizzes testing your understanding of the material after each video. They've been around for a while and they've certainly improved overtime and I have no doubt they’ve surpassed BnB in quality and will surpass BnB in popularity in the near future. While it may not have been a primary recommendation five years ago, it most certainly is now.
I found Bootcamp’s question bank to be the most similar to the actual exam in terms of style and difficulty. I think their question bank is decently sized as well. In all honesty, UWorld and Amboss was decently similar as well in terms of style but more difficult than the actual exam.
After spending 6 weeks in dedicated and 2 weeks after waiting for my score, I found out I PASSED Step 1! The biggest thing I learned from this whole experience is that you truly know SO MUCH more than you think. Go in confident and just remind yourself that YOU are capable! Here are my stats:
The main source I used for content review was Bootcamp, which I LOVED. I had used Boards and Beyond during the school year, and while it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t for me. I’m much more of a visual learner and the images Bootcamp used in conjunction with seeing the instructor in the corner instead of just hearing a voice helped me a TON! It’s also great to hear from different instructors for different subject areas. Not to mention it was also super helpful to have the questions in between lessons to solidify info I had just reviewed. If you’re looking for a refresh from BnB I’d definitely recommend Bootcamp!
I really struggled with immunology and my medical school didn’t have a strong foundation when it came to that so I knew I had to focus a lot of my content review there. Probably one of the best modules within Bootcamp in my opinion - it was so easy to follow and to truly understand. I left the immuno unit feeling like I could nail every immuno question thrown at me, and it definitely showed with my UWorld blocks, NBMEs, and on the real deal. Their cardio and neuro units were also top notch and such great quality.
On top of Bootcamp, I also used Pathoma as my main source of path review - I watched the videos while following along in the book and making annotations. I reviewed Ch 1-3 the weekend before my exam and the night before and I’m glad I did! Dirty medicine was my main source for biochem review. He is the BEST and makes it so easy to follow and understand what you need to know for boards - don’t get caught up in the nuances of the pathways. Focus on the big picture and disease centered biochem. For me, First Aid was used solely as a supplement, for any clarification that I needed on certain topics.
Step 1 is a beast of an exam, there’s no doubt about it. Trust in yourself, focus on strengthening your weaknesses, and you will definitely be in good shape! Rooting for you all!
Med School Bootcamp was excellent for preparing for and passing Step 1 (March 2023). It helped me quickly identify my areas of weakness and gave me access to sample practice problems that helped me succeed.
In addition, the ability to watch videos linked within Anki cards is a big plus if you use AnKing as a study resource!
I used Med School Bootcamp in lieu of my school's coursework. The bite-sized quizzes, high-paced engaging videos, and focused information allow me the opportunity to comprehend the information quickly AND apply it in an integrated manner to other aspects
I HIGHLY recommend Bootcamp as the primary resource for Step 1.
If I could go back in time, I would have used Med School Bootcamp and their Anki deck from the first day of med school.
The Step 1 schedule was really helpful to stay on track and I love how they fit so much information in a few slides.
I highly recommend trying Bootcamp and I hope that it will work for you, just like it did for me.
My favorite board studying resource BY FAR!
Thank you MSB for guiding my studying, helping me integrate concepts, and highlighting the highest yield topics! I love the busy, integrative slides with all the colors, drawings, and everything from pathophysiology to management.
MSB paints a clear picture of everything you need to know!
Excited to utilize this resource again for Step 2! 😁
Med School Bootcamp is the most efficient resource I’ve used for STEP 1 so far - it provides the foundation and only the high yield.
The organization of the program is super easy to use and the phone app is seamless!
My favorite part of MSB are the videos that review board style questions; the explanations are reviewed in a way that has enhanced my test taking abilities.
I started using Med School Bootcamp for systems review during dedicated. I immediately wish I had it all throughout my first and second year. The videos are quick and keep your attention, while also explaining the pathology in a way that makes you understand the whole picture instead of just random clinical pearls / buzzwords.
I look forward to answering UWorld questions over topics I have covered with Med School Bootcamp because it has made me significantly more confident in my knowledge and ability to work through questions.
Highly recommended to anyone! Especially those currently in didactics!
I chose to use Med School Bootcamp to prepare for COMLEX 1 and Step 1. Bootcamp has everything you need available to crush both exams and has so many great features to help prepare. They have easily digestible videos, post-video quizzes, and board style questions.
As a first year medical student, I can't express how much Bootcamp has been a game-changer for me. It truly has exceeded my expectations. I've convinced my peers to join Bootcamp and they also rave about it.
The videos provided in this resource are absolutely outstanding. They not only helped me establish a solid foundation of knowledge for each topic but also managed to cover the high-yield material in a way that was clear and thorough. The explanations provided were top-notch, making it easy for me to grasp important concepts. These videos have become an invaluable tool in solidifying my understanding as a student. The quizzes at the end have also served as a great way to evaluate my understanding of the material, but they also helped reinforce the key points discussed in the video.
Additionally, the Med School Bootcamp Anki deck further enhanced my learning experience. Having a dedicated deck specifically tailored to the content covered in the videos has been incredibly beneficial. It has provided me with a structured and effective way to review the material and reinforce my understanding. I highly recommend this resource to fellow students who are looking for a comprehensive and effective study aid for in-house exams and Step 1.
I personally didn’t like the layout of neurology in First Aid and was searching high and low for a resource that would cover what I needed to know for Step 1 neurology. Then I found Bootcamp. Bootcamp has been a lifesaver. It simplified many of the harder pathophysiology concepts in other organ systems, like cardio, pulmonology, and renal. I saw a huge increase on NBME practice tests in the organ systems that I used Bootcamp to review for. I wish I found Bootcamp sooner, at the beginning of my med school journey. The videos are the perfect length, so you don’t lose focus, keep you engaged, and the mini quizzes in between the modules help you check your understanding. I love how each organ system has one downloadable PDF that makes it easy to follow along with the videos. I've been telling all my friends to use Bootcamp. Thank you so much Bootcamp!
I highly recommend MSB for those who want additional prep for Step 1. The lectures cover a lot of information but are not overly long and boring. Each module being divided into 5-10min videos really helped my short attention span.
The question bank also helped solidify what I learned and has questions resembling those on Step 1.
Overall, MSB was a great experience for me. The lower cost compared to other prep course was also a bonus.
I used Med School Bootcamp for the entirety of the content review, as it had sections for every topic (cardiology, etc.) but also main concepts (pharmacology, histology, etc.).
Bootcamp was SUPER helpful in consolidating a lot of high-yield information into one space, and the questions after each video to reinforce what you learned are also KEY to sustaining understanding during the long studying period.
Additionally, Bootcamp purposefully picks out high-yield facts and figures to look out for, with tips and tricks for specific types of questions. You never know what kind of exam you’ll get, so having these extra tips was very helpful for me because they tended to stick in my mind when pointed out in a sea of information.
Overall, I am grateful that Bootcamp was a major resource for me in terms of reviewing information and organizing a study schedule.
Med School Bootcamp has been an absolute lifesaver! The videos are extremely well-organized and detail oriented, yet not too long or too short! Dr. Roviso and the rest of the Bootcamp team are stellar teachers who really care about ensuring we learn the information necessary to do well on boards! If I would have had this subscription at the beginning of my school career, I would have saved countless hours of bouncing between resources! Overall, I 10/10 recommend!!!
Med School Bootcamp has been very helpful for both my medical school's exam and Step 1 preparation. The videos are succinct and the quizzes help me stay focused and retain information. I have and would recommend it to anyone in medical school.
Bootcamp is an incredibly fantastic resource for content review and step preparation.
All of the slides contain very high yield information that is concise and comprehensive enough to successfully navigate any board-style question. The course is also structured in a great way to help solidify information as you are learning it. The instructors are great at explaining concepts, and often offer very useful mnemonics and tips for mastering the material.
Med School Bootcamp made the difference for me late in the preclinical phase and during my dedicated period studying for Step 1. I wish I had used it earlier! Especially for neurology, this content is gold.
I decided to use Bootcamp as my primary study resource while learning neuro and received massive dividends by doing so. For the anatomy portion of neuro I was extremely worried for neuroanatomy and bootcamp was honestly better than what I had been using up to that point (Blue link, Netters, Logans). They have videos, an atlas and questions on BOTH identification and applications. Definitely the best resource for 2nd order anatomy and histology questions in bulk during preclinical phase.
Finally Med School Bootcamp significantly improved my weak areas in preparation for Step 1. I took my weakest areas from UWorld, did the matching video modules in Bootcamp and brought each weak area ABOVE the passing threshold one subject at a time.
I highly recommend Bootcamp all the way to Step 1, for primary content learning and review. It helped me where UWorld could not.
I used MSB to help me pass my Step 1 exam and it was the best decision I ever made. I really enjoyed watching the videos and reviewing everything that I have previously learned.
The content creators are so passionate about teaching you and it makes you, as the student, feel much more compelled to actually understand why things are happening instead of just knowing what happens.
The quizzes after each video are amazing because it reinforces what you just watched and it allows for better memory retention. I feel as though the platform has more than enough content to help you pass Step 1 on your first try.

I only wished I started using Bootcamp earlier. All the videos are engaging and extremely high yield. It can be overwhelming to feel like there’s so much information to learn, but the Bootcamp team ensures to hit the most important concepts.
Having taken and passed my boards a few weeks ago, I can say with confidence, that Bootcamp was a vital resource to my studying success. In my opinion, Bootcamp is the next “Boards and Beyond.”
Believe me when I say it is the best all-in-one, boards study resource. I cannot thank Bootcamp enough for their incredible resource!
I was honestly lucky that I found Bootcamp when I did, about 6 months out from my test date. I can confidently say I haven’t come across a Step 1 resource as developed and organized as Bootcamp.
Dr. Roviso and the rest of the staff’s videos provided me with compiled information in one spot and the fresh question bank helped me become more agile and efficient while getting through my blocks.
Bootcamp’s unique feature of providing the exact video reference for incorrect questions made it much easier to review tougher topics, and it’s one I relied on quite a lot during my dedicated preparation.
Bootcamp is a continuously growing resource that I would highly recommend to anyone starting their Step 1 journey!
All of the blocks are incredibly well organized and the short quizzes in between lessons makes Med School Bootcamp superior to any other 3rd party resource I have used so far.
As someone that has always struggled with biochem, I am especially impressed at how easy and manageable Paige breaks down the material. I only wish I had been using Bootcamp since day 1!
I have enjoyed my time using MSB. It’s very easy to use and helped me a lot with subjects I had a hard time with. The lecturers are great at explaining content and providing a zoomed out approach for how to tackle questions.
I’m so grateful I found MSB for my dedicated study for Step 1.
Med School Bootcamp has quickly become my favorite resource - so much so that I pivoted to using it halfway through my cardiology unit.
What’s so great about it? It’s streamlined, accessible and thorough. They pay attention to the little things that may usually lose students - i.e. repeating the name of a disease seemingly one too many times, but just the right amount for a confused medical student. You will know if you understood the material because they offer a quiz right after each video WITH thorough explanations.
It also has a Step 1-style Qbank. All in all, Bootcamp is the best resource I have used, and if someone wanted to only buy one resource for Step 1 I’d call them crazy if they didn’t pick Med School Bootcamp.
I'm a first-year medical student at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. I recently started using Bootcamp during my second block of medical school and I don't know what took me so long.
It has been so helpful and concise and gives me exactly what I need. Especially for a first-year medical student, I am glad that there is a resource that presents quality material, quiz questions, and board-style review prep all in one place.
I've seen such an improvement in my grades and understanding compared to the last block. I just found out about the Bootcamp Anki deck and I'm so excited to try that out! I am so grateful for this resource!
I love Med School Bootcamp! I am supplementing my classwork with Bootcamp’s lectures, and it greatly enhances my understanding of the material. Having a resource that emphasizes high yield concepts so well has helped me on exams.
The material is explained thoroughly and at appropriate depth. I can test my knowledge with post lecture quizzes and create exams. It is a great study tool!
Med School Bootcamp has been an unbelievable resource to have for anatomy. As a first-year medical student who has never taken anatomy, I initially felt I was at a major disadvantage. But with Bootcamp, I do not feel that anymore.
The cadavers, practice questions, and understandable videos are all incredible. This is a must-buy!
Med School Bootcamp has been an awesome resource for medical school. The short videos help me to learn the topic in a quick and concise way that makes sense to me and the mini quizzes allow me to check in on my understanding of the topic.
I really love the resource PDF at the beginning of each section because I can follow along the videos and make notes on my copy of the PDF.
I recommend Bootcamp for anyone that needs bite-sized lectures to learn the material better.
Bootcamp is the perfect resource for getting a lot of high yield information in bite sized videos. Sometimes I don't have time to sit through a 20 minute video when reviewing for an exam, and that's when bootcamp really comes in perfectly.
Plus, with questions after each video and a board style question at the end to really reinforce the material, I really feel like I can retain much more info in a shorter time frame.
I especially like how you can get customized quizzes based on how difficult you found a question to be. Overall, very happy that I found this site!
I have been using Bootcamp for the past month as I prepare for the USMLE Step 1 exam and it has been really great so far!
I like how the videos are organized by organ system and the content pairs really well with the First Aid book if you own that as well. It makes it easy to have a visual and auditory resource to help go over important content.
I also really love the end of chapter questions - it ensures I've been paying attention and I can easily flag questions I want to keep reviewing later on.
I truly enjoyed using Med School Bootcamp my only regret is that I did not find it sooner! I truly believe the video summaries offered through the site helped me to think about exam content in the mindset of a test writer. It was so nice to directly search a topic and find a video correlating to that material along with questions to review / test my knowledge.
I highly recommend this resource to anyone studying for STEP 1, and I hope there will be some new content coming for STEP 2 prep!
Med School Bootcamp is truly a step above competitors for STEP1 3rd-party preparation resources. Additionally, it has helped me & classmates to prepare for school specific block exams.
I find it to be a modern day version of Boards & Beyond & when combined with UWorld, Amboss, & or Pathoma is sufficient for board preparation. I like that MSB focuses on teaching the fundamental concepts behind the medicine in the most concise & comprehensible way.
MSB also does a fantastic job of highlighting the most high-yield of high-yield topics, while still mentioning & explaining more niche facts, which truly sets MSB apart from other resources.
Bootcamp has been such an amazing addition to my step studying.
A lot of times I would circle back to Step 1 resources I’ve already gone through, thinking I would understand things better the second or third time around. However, I realized that those other resources (although still helpful) just taught many important topics in a complicated way.
I turn to Bootcamp videos for those challenging concepts to be broken down for me. The topics I thought were scary or were my weaknesses were not so scary anymore and actually makes me excited to see how much I can accomplish in one day of studying with Bootcamp.
Med School Bootcamp has been extremely helpful to me throughout my M1 year! The lessons are clear and concise and all include nice visual references that really help me solidify what I’m learning in lecture.
I subscribed to med school bootcamp after getting a sub-par score on my first Heme-Lymph exam. I used it extensively to study for the next exam and saw a 15 point increase and was above the class average! I can't recommend it enough!
Bootcamp has given my classmates and I an opportunity to test ourselves and review essential content in record time.
Bootcamp is one of my go-to’s for physiology and pathology. The videos are succinct and easy to review later on. I especially love the large number of board-style questions!
I started Med School Bootcamp only a few days before my second Anatomy / Histology / Embryology exam and even in that short amount of time it improved the Histology portion of my exam by 10 points. I have started watching it instead of some of my lectures because it is organized so well and goes more into depth than my school's lectures.
All of my friends also love Med School Bootcamp, especially the Histology question banks. I would recommend this resource to anyone and everyone.
If you're on the fence about getting Med School Bootcamp, you should subscribe because you will not regret it.
For psychiatry, my main learning resource was Bootcamp and I got an A on the in-house exam. For neuro, I was able to use Bootcamp to review for the NBME final and scored in the top 10% of the class. I found Bootcamp to be a perfect review resource for neuro and hit all the high yield points on my exam!
Because of these successes, I’m going to fully push into using Bootcamp for Step 1 prep. Thanks for creating this great resource!
I have gotten A's on everything since I started using Bootcamp. All I do is watch your videos, do your Bites questions, and then drown myself in First Aid.
