0/1
Gastrointestinal (GIT)
Digestive physiology, absorption, and hepatobiliary system. Pathology: peptic ulcer, IBD, liver disease, gallstones, pancreatic disorders. Pharmacology: PPIs, H2 blockers, laxatives, antiemetics.
0/1
Reproductive
Embryology, hormones of the menstrual cycle, and pregnancy physiology. Pathologies: PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, gynecologic cancers. Include male reproductive pharmacology (androgens, anti-androgens).
Psychiatry
This section presents 200 high-yield USMLE Step 1–style MCQs in Psychiatry
covering the full spectrum of core psychiatric principles tested on the exam. The
questions emphasize neurotransmitter physiology, psychopharmacology, and
diagnostic criteria for major psychiatric disorders, including psychotic disorders, mood
disorders, anxiety and trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, and defense
mechanisms. Dedicated blocks assess substance use disorders and withdrawal
syndromes, sleep disorders, and child and adolescent psychiatry, with a strong focus
on clinical vignettes, distinguishing features, timelines, and first-line treatments. The
MCQs are designed to reinforce pattern recognition, mechanism-based learning, and
high-yield associations essential for success on USMLE Step 1.
0/1
Biostatistics
Core formulas: sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, likelihood ratios. Understand bias types, study designs, and interpreting p-values & confidence intervals. Use question practice to strengthen application.
0/1
Biochemistry
Pathways: glycolysis, TCA, oxidative phosphorylation, urea cycle. Master enzyme deficiencies and vitamin cofactor roles. Integrate with molecular biology (DNA replication, transcription, translation).
0/1
Pathology
A complete system-based review of all pathology concepts covered in UWorld. This section focuses on disease mechanisms, key histopathological findings, and high-yield diagnostic clues tested on the USMLE. Each topic integrates pathophysiology with clinical correlations, helping students master disease patterns and identify the most tested features from UWorld question explanations.
0/1
Genetics
Comprehensive review of high-yield medical genetics — covering inheritance patterns, chromosomal disorders, mutations, gene mapping, and molecular techniques frequently tested on Step 1 and Step 2. Includes detailed explanations with clinical correlations and UWorld-based question discussions.
0/1
Pharmacology
Systematic and easy-to-grasp coverage of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug mechanisms, side effects, and contraindications. Each class of drug is broken down with UWorld-style reasoning and key mnemonics for rapid recall during exams.
0/1
Ethics
The USMLE Step 1 Ethics MCQs
cover the principles guiding medical professionalism, patient care, and public health. Key
topics include autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and veracity, as well as
informed consent, decision-making capacity, confidentiality, and surrogate decision-making.
They also address end-of-life care, DNR orders, palliative care, and the principle of double
effect, along with research ethics, including IRB approval, clinical trials, placebos, and
protection of vulnerable populations. Public health considerations, such as mandatory
reporting, vaccination, quarantine, and allocation of scarce resources, are emphasized, as
are professional behavior, conflicts of interest, and legal obligations. Overall, these questions
integrate ethical reasoning with clinical scenarios to help students apply principles to patient
care, research, and societal responsibilities.
