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.
