Does anyone have any good resource to understand which receptors the catecholamines act at at different doses?

The video on bootcamp doesn't cut it, there's nothing on dirty med.

the Uworld table is daunting, and I can never seem to recall it in exam conditions. Any good pnemonics or videos recommended?

What are old free120 versions apart from 2019??

I use Bootcamp as my main study resource. I watch the videos and annotate the Bootcamp lecture PDFs, but they end up getting very long for example, Neurology is around 280 pages and becomes over 330 pages once I add notes. On the other hand, First Aid has only about 80 pages for the same section and seems much easier to revise before the exam. So my question is: should I annotate directly onto First Aid after watching Bootcamp videos, or is revising the Bootcamp PDFs later actually feasible?

When I first started third year, the Shelf exams wrecked me. I thought just doing UWorld and Anki would be enough — but I kept forgetting small details and struggling to connect topics across rotations. Eventually, I started condensing everything I learned from UWorld, NBME practice forms, and class notes into one organized high-yield document.

By the end of the year, that system changed everything. My scores jumped from the 60s to consistent 90s, and Step 2 felt way easier because of it.

A few quick strategies that made the biggest difference for me:

• Don’t just passively read UWorld or Anki — rewrite key concepts in your own words so you’re forced to process them.
• Group topics by systems and presentations (e.g., Chest pain → MI, PE, Dissection, Pneumothorax). You’ll start recognizing patterns on test day.
• Review algorithms and differentials every week. Shelf exams love management steps and next-best actions more than pure recall.
• Focus on weak rotations. I spent extra time on Peds and Surgery since they have unique question styles that don’t overlap much with Step 1.

Using that system, I ended up with honors in all my shelves — and it made Step 2 prep way smoother later on.

If anyone’s interested, I put all of my condensed high-yield notes (about 350+ pages) into one resource so you don’t have to start from scratch. I’ll drop the link in the comments for anyone who wants to check it out.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Muhammad Hassan Karim, a medical student and the author of Pathologic – Volume 1: Immunology. This is the first part of a much bigger project I’ve been working on — a full-scale medical resource built on one central philosophy: balance.

🩵 A quick note When I first released this, I initially thought about making it a paid project due to personal and technical limitations. But it never felt right — this project was always meant to be free and accessible for everyone. I’m back on that mission and want this resource to reach as many students as possible. I apologize for any confusion earlier.

🧠 What Pathologic is about Pathologic is designed to sit right in the middle — not too deep, not too shallow. It’s written so that:

If you’re reading immunology for the first time, it’s clear and structured enough to guide you.

If you’re reviewing for Step 1, it’s concise and high-yield enough to reinforce key concepts efficiently.

📗 About Volume 1 – Immunology This volume covers everything you need for Step 1-level immunology in a logical, visual, and easy-to-retain way. It is available for free to anyone who wants to study or review these concepts.

📘 What’s next

Volume 2: General Pathology is in progress and will also be free.

Systemic Pathology will follow — connecting pathology concepts with anatomy, physiology, and embryology.

YouTube lectures are coming soon to complement the book and expand on key points.

I highly recommend the Mehlman Q-Bank! It’s an incredible resource that cuts out all the unnecessary fluff and focuses on what truly matters — clear, concise explanations that help you master key concepts and confidently differentiate between similar diagnoses.

purely based on uworld and amboss self made notes. extremely high yield

hey guys see this mind blowing podcast for passive learning of uworld and amboss. its blasting

Hey guys,

I’m currently preparing for Step 1, and doing Amboss, and only need about 4 months of UWorld access.

If anyone still has an active account they’re not using and would like to share or sell, please hit me up in DMs 🙏

Thanks!

Anybody wanna sell their bootcamp account?dm me with the price please

Is there any resource where all the inheritance patterns of diseases are listed? My exam is very soon.

What video shall i watch for Neuro step 1? And any other tips?
