Boards & Beyond supports medical students with on-demand video libraries and question banks designed to build a solid foundation of understanding that goes beyond memorization. Students use Boards & Beyond to supplement their classes and prepare for board exams and core clerkships.
Boards & Beyond Content is designed and taught by Dr. Jason Ryan, an award-winning educator with years of experience teaching students. The videos are updated throughout the year in order to cover the newest drugs, mechanisms, and science.
Step 1-Preclinical provides an online virtual curriculum to supplement your coursework and build your foundation in all pre-clinical subjects. Instead of buzzwords and mnemonics, we emphasize understanding of the basic and clinical sciences, so you can study smarter for success in medical school and on board exams. Access includes more than 440 videos and more than 2300 USMLE-style questions, as well as progress tracking, custom quizzes and playlists, and slide PDFs.
If you are preparing for Step 1, many students annotate in First Aid as they watch, using the page references listed with each video to follow along.
Step 2-3-Clinical expands your foundation into clinical topics, including in-depth discussions of diagnosis and treatment that will help you excel during clinical rotations and on the USMLE Step 2 CK and Step 3 exams. Dr. Ryan helps you understand the connections between the mechanisms you studied before and the treatment decisions you will make as a doctor. Contents include more than 260 videos and more than 1300 USMLE-style questions, as well as progress tracking, custom quizzes and playlists, and slide PDFs.
