How I use OnlineMedEd:
I utilized OnlineMedEd content religiously during my second and third year of medical school. During second year, I relied on the OMM content to assist in preparation for the OMM portion of COMLEX Level 1. During third year, I watched every single video at some point during the year in preparation for each shelf exam. Finally, I came back around to the same videos and OMM content when preparing for USMLE Step 2 and COMLEX Level 2. In addition, I referenced the Osteopathic Medicine: A Core Concepts Approach textbook when I was studying OMM. Finally, as a 4th year medical student looking forward to residency, I have begun watching the Intern Bootcamp videos and have been loving them!
