Student Reviews

Bootcamp has been an excellent preclinical resource! It’s the most thorough resource I’ve found to supplement my in-house exams. The videos explain things in an easy to understand but succinct way. The cadaver photo question bank was invaluable for succeeding on my anatomy practicals. The website itself is easy to search, so I can find lecture videos or reviews over exactly what I’m learning in lecture.

As a first year medical student, I really enjoy how well organized the modules are set up alongside the PowerPoint slides available for download that I can use to take notes on. I also really appreciate the exposure to board style questions and active recall of covered material throughout my learning experience using Bootcamp. I’ve easily been able to supplement my in class lectures with Bootcamp modules because that is how good they are at covering the most clinically and STEP relevant content.

I think Bootcamp is the best resource for studying anatomy at a postgraduate level. The number and quality of cadaver pictures is unparalleled. I also use Bootcamp religiously for physiology and pathology topics that I need extra help on outside of our lectures. The "bites" are a great way to check my progress, and the Boards-style questions are awesome for right before a big exam. I recommend Bootcamp to all my friends at school and I even work through it with students I tutor.

I began using Bootcamp at the end of my second year to supplement areas that I was lacking throughout the reproduction block. My traditional resources, such as B&B, were not helping this particular content to "stick" as they had done previously so I listened to a suggestion from a classmate to give Bootcamp a try. Overall, I found Bootcamp to be more than sufficient to understand the class material which I eventually passed. Although I can't speak for its utility in preparing for Step 1 personally, I do plan to use it throughout my dedicated period for content review of weak areas.

I love Med School Bootcamp!!! It has helped me a lot with studying for various subjects during my preclinical years. The practice questions have honestly been extremely helpful and I like how interactive they are with the videos, which is unique compared to other third party resources. I especially really enjoyed the Reproductive and Neuroanatomy units.

Bootcamp has been very helpful for my current USMLE Step 1 studying alongside my current curriculum! They explain the topics so efficiently and truly focus on ensuring you know the most high-yield material for the Step 1 exam. I love how the physicians draw out figures or annotate figures included in the PDFs. I always use the short quizzes after each video to reinforce the basics and feel more prepared once I get to the actual practice Step 1 Qbank question videos. Those are truly gold, since they explain and break down the question stems, how to process the information given, and what your thought process should be to tackle certain types of questions.

Med School Bootcamp has proven to be an invaluable study service. The website's comprehensive supplementary materials offer clear explanations that complement my school's curriculum, enhancing my understanding of complex medical concepts. The well-structured study plans have been instrumental in keeping me on track for Step 1 preparation, and the thoughtful web design enhances the overall user experience. Overall, Bootcamp has significantly contributed to my success in medical school, providing the additional support and resources needed for effective and efficient learning.

Bootcamp has been my favorite resource to use for preclinical and board exam studying. Bootcamp keeps the material concise and fun to learn. I highly recommend Bootcamp to everyone!

Bootcamp has been a lifesaver since starting medical school! I enjoy the detailed videos and visuals that are provided, as well as the practice questions and explanations that are available. This has helped me compartmentalize all the information I’m learning in medical school, and has enhanced my medical knowledge!

The Med School Bootcamp anatomy module is amazing for learning gross anatomy! It's definitely much more in depth than other Step 1 test prep materials. The Preclinical modules are also super helpful and well organized. The test bank is pretty representative of USMLE Step 1 questions, and the explanations that accompany them are very informative. Overall, Bootcamp has been extremely helpful and supportive for my testing preparation.

I found Med School Bootcamp several months into my first year. I began by watching it alongside my lectures; however, I always kept referring back to Bootcamp material whenever I was answering questions. Since then it has been my primary resources for learning material for STEP. Each lecture is short and easy to understand at 2x speed, making it great first pass for information. The amount of material within Bootcamp is well worth the price as it will help you through all of your pre-clinical years, and I recommend it to any incoming MS1's.

Bootcamp has been an amazing resource to consolidate what feels like an endless plethora of material. My typical approach to maximizing its utility is to use it as my review before examinations. I ensure that I am well-versed in the in-house material, followed by practice question material. Subsequently, I utilize the Bootcamp videos and quizzes as a means to assess my ability to apply my medical school curricula to board-style concepts. What I find most useful are the histology lectures and videos, along with many of the genetic resources. The visuals and interactive videos make it much easier to consolidate information compared to reading general text from a book.

I have found Bootcamp to be a comprehensive resource which you can rely on to pass your courses in school as well as prepare for board exams. When it comes to histology, anatomy and embryology, Bootcamp outshines the competition. Try to go in order, and utilise the bites as well as the QBank questions, especially in anatomy and histology to the full extent.

Very helpful and well organized by topic. I'm doing anatomy in school right now and the cadaver anatomy with application/clinical questions are FANTASTIC! Also, the videos being pretty short but getting the point across do wonderfully for quick catch up on concepts.

I love this website. It simplifies everything so easily. Subjects in medical school are so complex that sometimes I need someone to explain it to me in a rudimentary type of way and the videos do just that. Also, I love how short the videos are each subject matter has its own short video with the necessary points, makes it easier to ingest. Furthermore, the practice questions are the end of each video is a really nice touch.

Med School Bootcamp made my first year a breeze and just ended the fall semester with a 4.0. The additional exposure I got to cadaver images for gross anatomy was irreplaceable and the videos to go along with them if I was having trouble understanding were simple and straight forward. An additional bonus is that it’s most of the courses you take. I used biochemistry and histology this semester as well. I used them as supplements to what our professors gave us but honestly felt like I could’ve learned the whole course right on Bootcamp!

This past summer of 2023, I was struggling to pass my comprehensive NBME in order to be able to sit for STEP. Between my first second attempt, I only saw a 1 point increase. Once I utilized Med School Bootcamp, I was able to increase my comp NBME score by 7points and pass. From the modules to the practice questions from the STEP QBank, I have developed more confident in my medical knowledge by understanding why particular answers are the best and how to knock out other answer choices based on the foundations of the medical material. I feel confident that I will pass my upcoming STEP exam through my use of Med School Bootcamp.

Med School Bootcamp has played a tremendous part in my success with medical school thus far. I love the fact that the videos are being taught by enthusiastic students and teachers, it makes for a fun learning experience. The information is easily accessible and can be used alongside the Step book with ease. I appreciate the fact that students have access to the PowerPoints being used to teach the information…which literally contains all the high yield information one needs to know. I am always singing Med School Bootcamp praises and I cannot thank the creators enough for making such an amazing platform easing the process of medical school studies.

I can't say enough good things about my Bootcamp experience so far. I've been very impressed by how aligned the content has been with the learning objectives that are presented for us to learn at my school, and there's no doubt that using Bootcamp as a supplement to my learning has helped me perform well on my exams.

I primarily use Bootcamp to get a high-level overview/preview to the material I'm responsible for covering for any one of the courses for which I use Bootamp as a study tool (Anatomy/Anatomy Lab, Biochemistry, Physiology, Histology). The lectures are short, easy to listen to, and the instructors keep it lively and make it interesting while managing to keep it succinct; so, the time I spend on Bootcamp never feels like time wasted.

It's worth the investment, and is especially reassuring to see so much overlap/alignment between the content that is offered here on Bootcamp, which is supposed to be representative of high-yield board topics, and what my school is teaching us. Definitely recommend!

Med School Bootcamp changed my learning experience during pre-clerkship. I struggled with medical school in the beginning due to the volume of the material and being unable to identify the high-yield information from our lectures. With Bootcamp, I can easily look up the topic being taught in my lectures and get a 5-15 minute video explaining everything I am expected to know about that topic for Step 1. Bootcamp never misses an important detail and has fully prepared me for in-house and NBME exams. Aside from the comprehensive, but concise approach to teaching the material, the lecturers take the time during the video to note how they expect this concept to be tested. I have gotten questions right because of the tips mentioned in the videos. There are short quizzes following each video that allow me to test my understanding which have helped me stay actively involved in the modules. Overall, I love Med School Bootcamp for cutting down the material of a 1.5-hour lecture to just 10 minutes- allowing me to spend more time consolidating and applying the information through the question bank.
