So how can I get help from you like in which all ways can u help me as a med student
| Topic | Example Question |
|---|---|
| Physiology | "Explain the Frank-Starling mechanism" |
| Pharmacology | "What's the MOA of beta blockers?" |
| Pathology | "Describe the histology of Hodgkin's lymphoma" |
| Clinical | "How do you manage a patient with septic shock?" |
| Research | "What does recent evidence say about GLP-1 agonists in heart failure?" |
| Anatomy | "What structures pass through the femoral triangle?" |
| Biochemistry | "Explain the urea cycle and where it goes wrong in disease" |
Can I do all this with free version itself?
Okay so to begin with I am almost done with my 2nd year med school and I pretty much dk anything I will have a summer vacation for like almost 2.5 months so can u make me a plan to study like if. I can't study everything in this 2.5 months so make me a plan of what I should be studying in these 3 months so I don't feel dumb in my 3rd year when the actual clinical subjects starts
I actually study in Georgia Tbilisi
