We’re building out our learning community—subscribe to stay up to date and learn how to think like a doctor. In this video, I break down what it really means to approach clinical medicine the way physicians do. Medical exams no longer reward memorization alone—they test your ability to apply knowledge in patient care. I’ll walk you through how to organize every disease by presentation, pathophysiology, and natural history, using real examples like aortic stenosis, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. You’ll learn how to transition from learning facts to thinking clinically, improve your diagnostic reasoning, and retain material more effectively for the long term.
