"I thought it was a fantastic review. The questions covered a wide variety of important key areas in medicine without going into more esoteric topics. I felt the answers were discussed very thoroughly as well, and incorporated a lot of current information." — Reza Samad, Medical School, SUNY Upstate Medical University

"The answers were of consistently high quality . . . and present necessary concepts in a concise manner that hopefully will reinforce an existing fund of knowledge."

— Edward Gould, Medical Student, SUNY Upstate Medical University
