Dr. Ruebush really changed how I look at immunology. Every time after I attended her webinars, I am the boss doing multiple choice questions. You managed to teach me new things in every one of them.

Proven Methods, Better Results
The new Step 1 exam is centered on the “why’s” of patient care, and the best way to get ready is to prepare to be a good doctor. Sources such as First Aid are excellent sources of what you need to know. They do not tell you why you need to know it. The most difficult step to make in medical school is to shift from subject-based learning to patient-centered learning. Medical School Companion is the only source dedicated to this transition.

Kevin
This exam was expected to be the most difficult exam that we take as M2s based on its reputation. I used your teaching as my primary resource for learning, and I left the exam feeling more prepared and less worried than I had for any exam so far this year.

Alexander
I find your method of focusing on the clinical-pathologic correlation and clinical testing to be extremely helpful and rewarding. As I mentioned before, I am excited to learn medicine again.
