Content and Question Review at the Same Time

Do content review and Step 1 questions in addition to hundreds of active recall questions in every HyGuru lecture.

One Single Resource

This course is all you need. Stop reading and highlighting a million resources. Integrate medical content across organ systems and into practice questions right from the start.

About This Course

Mapped to the USMLE content outline, HyGuru's comprehensive USMLE Step 1 course augments the pathophysiology in the free NBME Top Concepts with the relevant physiology and pharmacology. Integrated with immunology and biochemistry, this course provides a high-yield, integrative overview of each organ system. Further differentiating it from the free NBME Top Concepts Course are the following elements:

  • Genera Pathology from Pathoma chapters 1-3 with vignette flashcards
  • Genetics and Syndromes
  • Rapid Review from First Aid on all organ systems
  • Acid-Base Physiology
  • Antimicrobials
  • Ethics
  • Additional High Yield Images and PE Findings lectures

No more rote memorization – optimize your understanding

Learning the clinical application of medical facts is critical to success on Step 1 and as a doctor. With Rahul, you’ll learn pathology, biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology but in an integrated manner. You’ll appreciate the interconnectedness and practical application of these disciplines right from the beginning.

Think like the test maker

Rahul takes you into the head of the test maker early and often by presenting material as it appears within real Step 1 questions. By doing hundreds of USMLE questions within Rahul’s lectures, you’ll learn common testing patterns and question structures all while mastering content. By test day, you’ll be Thinking like the Test Maker.


Components of this course include:

Organs Systems Rapid Review & NBME Top Concepts

All of the isolated facts from First Aid’s Rapid Review presented in an integrated, organ systems based, active recall method; a bonus section on the most commonly tested clinical triads.

Physiology

Top concepts across all organ systems from BRS Costanzo, integrated and presented in active recall manner.

Pharmacology

Lectures take you beyond drug memorization to understanding the mechanism of action and target pathophysiology as well as USMLE application.

Pathology

General pathology concepts from Pathoma chapters 1-3 applied clinically and across organ systems.

Biochemical Pathways & Metabolism

High yield lectures dedicated to metabolic pathways and their most common USMLE applications. Also contains Genetics and Syndromes.

100 Concepts in Gross Anatomy

Most easily and frequently forgotten section of medical education re-presented in a clinically integrated format. 100 of the highest yield anatomy concepts and their clinical correlates.

Ethics & Physician Communication

Lectures dedicated to reflect Oct/Nov 2020 changes to the USMLE.

Immunology

Review relevant, testable details related to the innate and adaptive immune response. Master immunology in an active-recall manner with vignettes highlighting key pathology correlates.

High Yield Images

Over 20% of USMLE questions on exam day will have multi-media images for you to interpret. Be prepared with unique gross, microscopic, and radiographic correlates and their vignettes.
