Curriculum

We’ll be teaching, simplifying, and condensing everything into six hours of high-yield pharmacology review. Learn by watching our video lectures or use our audio-only feature to listen to each lecture on the go (learn while running errands, at the gym, or while commuting). You’ll also be able to read through our high-yield notes.

Each medication will cover the following:

  • Relevant human physiology
  • The mechanism of action
  • Contraindications
  • Adverse reactions (high-yield)
  • Toxicity (if relevant)
  • Information as to when the drug is used
  • When the medication is first line, second line, and third line
  • Clinical considerations (pearls for practice)

Get your questions answered.
Although it’s a self-paced program, our instructors make themselves available Monday – Friday to answer any questions you may have.

Yearly updates.
Every year we make updates to the curriculum to ensure we stay current. You’ll get immediate access to every update (at no additional charge).
