This eBook features my 250+ Study System, which I created as a struggling medical student, and perfected over the years of tutoring over 200 medical students.
How to Use the 250+ Study System for USMLE success
In my first 2 years of medical school, I quickly burned out as I pushed myself to the limit, neglecting everything else – my health, relationships, & hobbies.
But after many nervous breakdowns, I researched & developed effective study strategies & routines.
I created my 250+ Study System, which completely transformed my experience.
With this system, I honored all of my NBME shelf exams, scored 257 on USMLE Step 2, and matched my top choice residency program, all while having time for a life outside of medicine.
Looking back, I if I had this system for my Step 1 studying, my life would have been so much easier.
I would have saved myself a lot of time, stress, and tears.
The 250+ Study System is broken down into 3 major steps:
Step 1: Learn & master effective study strategies
In all of school, college, and medical school, we are assigned material to study, but never actually taught how to study effectively.
Instead, these science backed study methods are buried in literature and locked away.
Study methods that work in school and college are not always translatable to med school.
It took me many hours to research, test, and develop the right strategies, specifically for medical school and USMLE, but ultimately, I saved myself a lot of stress, burnout, and time going forward.
These strategies became the blueprint of my 250+ Study System.
Step 2: Optimize physical and mental health
Implementing the right study strategies allowed me a lot more free time, which meant that I was able to take care of my health.
Prioritizing sleep, nutritious food, and exercise boosted my energy levels and enhanced my ability to learn and retain information.
And once my body was functioning at its best, I was also able to better focus on step 1 of the study system.
Step 3: Conquer your mindset
Before creating my study system, my med school performance was affected by test-taking anxiety, panic attacks, and imposter syndrome.
I couldn’t afford therapy, but this study system gave me a lot of confidence and helped me completely shift my mindset to one that further enhanced my performance.

Note:
The only major topic that this Ebook does not include that is normally a part of my 250+ Study System is test-taking techniques.

No exceptions. Here’s why:

I’ve Got Answers

- Yes! This includes exact protocols for how to do USMLE preparation in M1 and M2 along with studying for classes.

- This is the optimal time to learn how to apply these study techniques. I wish someone had told me to start studying for Step 1 when I started medical school (in the US).
- The eBook includes study strategies for USMLE during the first two years of medical school in order to set your up for your dedicated study period and make studying even less stressful!
- How is the content of this eBook different from the advice I can get for free?
- I build my 250+ Study System for myself when I was struggling through medical school and USMLE, and have been constantly improving it over time while tutoring and mentoring 250+ medical students.
- Advice on the internet or even advice you may hear from others in medical school, is not often from someone a background & expertise equivalent to mine.
- When I was in medical school, I got conflicting advice about studying for USMLE, and some advice that I had followed ended up wasting my study time and led me to burn out, without actually helping me make any progress.
- This is why I built my study system, with protocols based not only on my own experience, but scientifically proven strategies, perfected over time, as I gained more and more experience through coaching, tutoring, and mentoring medical students across the world.
