 Are you a new med student? If so, you're probably thinking about the step one, but with that, guys, comes the stress of what resources to use. And in this video, trust me, I've been there and I'm going to give you a resource you probably will consider wanting to use if you want a one stop shop that's going to solve all of your problems. Let's get into it after this intro. All right, guys, what is going on? I'm Alex here from MediJourney helping you succeed on your medical journey with less stress. Today, I have a really interesting video because I hear these kind of comments and email all the time, which is what resources should I use? I'm just starting medical school and I'm having trouble balancing my classes and then worry about step one. But then when I worry about step one, there's so many resources that could be using and just don't have the time for it. Is there something I could be using? What do you recommend? But today, guys, I have a resource for any of you guys that are wanting a one stop shop, all inclusive resource section introduced to me by one of my students that coached. And after I checked it out, man, did I wish that there was something like this when I was studying for step one. So what's that resource today, guys? We're going to be talking about physio. Now, physio is an amazing, all inclusive resource, but it's not enough. I just tell you about it. So today's video, I'm actually going to take you inside the platform. You're going to see in my computer what it looks like and what it has to offer for you. And I'm also going to be talking about kind of how I would use it about to go back in time and be a first year med student trying to study for step one at the same time. I'd give you recommendations on who I think it's for. And then finally, some parting thoughts. And at the very end of the video, I have an amazing gift for you guys to stay tuned, but let's get into it. So first, guys, let's talk about what physio actually is. Now, as I mentioned, it's an all inclusive resource. So for me, what that means is it needs to have the components to not only learn the material, but to review and master it. It's not advantageous for your time, especially as a first year med student, to use one resource to learn material and then to go to another resource to like practice and review needs something ideally that has everything in a natural flow state. Physio does that for you. You start originally from these amazing videos covering every single topic you would need as a first and a second year med student. That includes bio stats. It's include bio chem, microbiome, anatomy. I'm going to show you those examples in a second, but it doesn't stop just at the videos. As you're watching the videos at the very end, you're going to be prompted with questions that are born level questions. So it's going to be able to help you study for step one. The best part is you just watched the videos. So now you can push yourself and see how much you actually retained. And in addition, there are amazing things like flash cards, mnemonics, and so much more. So I'm going to give you guys an inside look into Physio. We're going to jump into my computer and kind of give you an idea of what you'd be getting if you think this resource is for you. So let's get into my computer. All right, guys, so we are officially in the Physio dashboard. Now I'm going to give you an inside look on how much content and a variety of content you have. So as you can see, there's probably a class that you're taking right now or it will take that will be in Physio to help you on your first or second year of medical school. And really, I want to focus your attention on the last two, which is a biochem and a microbiome. These are two of the probably the most toughest classes you'll take as a first or second year med student. And there is just so much content to help you out on your way. And in fact, if you look at the microbiome section, there is a reticulous amount of content that's absolutely free. It's a hundred and forty two videos, twenty hours of content. And they have worked insanely hard. And there are topics in this microbiome section, guys, that are not found in any other popular or unpopular resources to study for step one. And these are topics that are commonly still tested on the board exam. So you still want to make sure you know that. So to have this much content to your disposal, absolutely free. And I'm quite jealous for anyone that has access to this. So let me give you an example of kind of what the videos and the rest of the features look like. Let's go into the biocamp section. And when you go into it, you see, again, a variety of topics are all necessary to one do well in your class, but also to master in step one. And if you look, one of the biggest things that I look at first, especially when there's videos involved in the resources, how long are they? They're like 30, 40 minute videos. I just don't have the time, especially as a student, to partake of them. And if you can look here, a majority of the videos are about 10, if left, not, you know, 10 inch minutes. And so that is completely doable to incorporate into your study system. And again, after this, I'll talk about kind of how I would use physio. But let's go into one of the first videos. And I tried to have my volume, but I'll give you an idea of how the videos are broken down. So you're going to have videos that are going to have a nice kind of narration. And they're going to often use illustrations as well as just mnemonics to help you. And just kind of moving. So here we're learning about DNA replication, nice illustrations and drawings to really help make sure it clicks and it stays for the longer. But one of the coolest parts that I haven't seen in any other resource used in the past is at the very end, you have board level questions. So after you watch this video, majority of the resources that I've used in the past will require you to use another set of practice questions elsewhere to really see if you mastered that topic. But physio kind of just incorporates and naturally into its platform. So after you watch this video, you have a board level question and you can quiz yourself to see if you can answer it. But if you can't, they walk you through the most important parts in the question step. Again, it's teaching you how to study for the boards as well as answer board level questions. So it's an amazing component of physio which I've done really well and it's effortless in terms of study. Now, one of the biggest things that I love, especially as somebody of you guys know that loves flashcards is every single lecture majority of them will have an associated on key tech. And so that means you can take your flashcards and use them on the go, watch your videos at a different time. So I took in the liberty to go ahead and just download a few to show you what they look like. And again, they're amazing. They're for a lot of the topics. So here is that DNA replication video that we just watched and these are the flashcards. You can use these after your lecture, after you watch the video to quiz yourself. And again, you can use them for other topics that looks like they have some anatomy going on here. And I always said for things like the break the plexus of boom, right on cue, I can really use this plus the illustrations to practice and learn for anatomy, which is again another tough class for your first year med students. So let's get back into this video to show you other cool things that I would recommend you guys check out. One of the things, especially if you have a long commute or if you like to study while working out is all the videos are converted into an audio format. So you can go ahead and have this and listen to it and just kind of have it with your workout and also just download it right there. Now the last resource guys that I really want to show you that's really just the icing on the cake are these mnemonic sketches that they have spent some serious time and effort in doing this. And there are a lot of resources out there that use kind of these sketches to help you kind of memorize things what they'll associate a picture to a specific type of disease or element and physio has that built into their platform as well. So this is a video about autozonal dominant diseases. This is something I can never memorize and to have a video on it is just absolutely amazing. And not only do they have a video but if you go back, they will go ahead and let you basically quiz yourself on whether or not you can remember the mnemonic sketches. So you can click right here and get the full complete sketch and then be able to click around and say, okay, do I remember, I've only watched this once by the way and said I've seen like this is a condo pleasure because it represents acorns, which is awesome. This is Huntington's. And so again, I've seen this for maybe 20 seconds and I'll get things are coming back to memory for me. So the beauty of it is it's not that they have mnemonic sketches. A lot of resources are starting to use it but the fact that you have videos, the fact that you have practice questions, the fact that you have the mnemonic sketches and the honky-decks all thrown into one allow you to really have one kind of complete resource to help you study for not only classes, but step one. So now guys, let's talk about how I would recommend you use physio. All right guys, so now that you got an inside look of what physio looks like, let me give you an example of how I would use it to study if I was that first or second year med student studying for step one alongside the rest of the classes. Now, whenever there's a resource, especially that corporate studios, I love using it to study for the night before for whatever my next day's lectures are. Because usually you don't have an idea of what's important. I get that question all the time. I'm like, how do I know what to study for or what to focus on? Well, now you can watch physio videos and pay attention because the majority of the thing that they say, if not all, is high yield. But then go to class the next day and really pay attention to what your professor says that also is kind of said in physio's videos. Because then the highlight's like, hey, I should pay attention that this is high yield. Now that you know it's high yield, after class I would recommend, although it's optional, to maybe watch the videos again and to really solidify your learning. And then you can use the rest of the elements of physio, such as the flashcards, the mnemonics, the practice questions, all of those to kind of do your review. So again, that's how I've used physio. The night before, watch the videos, go to class, watch the videos again if you have time. If not, use your afternoons and e-makes to do the flashcards, the practice questions and the mnemonic sketches for any videos that it has associated. Now, is physio for you? Do I recommend you use a resource? Now, obviously I've spoken highly of it, but if your student likes to dip their toes into a variety of different resources and use one here and then there, but not necessarily use one consistently, then physio may not work as well as it's intended to. It really is made for the long haul and for the consistent student. So I recommend always to use minimal amounts of resources. So if you can stick to physio for a long haul and avoid all other distractions that I think it's gonna do you extremely well. And that goes to point number two, which is physio is amazing, but it's particularly amazing for a new med student or an early med student that has some time until step one, because then you can watch the videos and you can use all of their other resources to help build your foundation to make sure you do all the boards. But if you're trying to use it for studying for your dedicated, they still are adding content as we speak. So I recommend it more for the student that's going to use it for the long haul versus a student that needs it just for six weeks. So those are the two things that I definitely want you to keep in mind, but the students that have, that have coached, that have used physio for step one as well, the classes have done amazingly well. So I definitely want you to keep that in mind if you're considering the platform. And the last part about physio guys that I've loved, and it's probably my favorite, and that is the price. Most med school resources take a huge hit to your wallet. They're very expensive, but physio actually does a very good job of being affordable both on a monthly as well as annual plans.

Now this is a guy that I've created with a lot of my classmates that basically will give you a nice study schedule as well as the top resource that you should be using to get some of the highest scores. Again, these are made by some of the best and brightest students that I've known. Again, 250, 260, and even 270. So that guy will be thrown in with everything else just for free.
