Meet Kylee.

Kylee
A medical student at Thomas Jefferson University, Kylee Shivok fulfills her passion for helping people by day as a prospective doctor and by evening/weekend as a tutor. Having developed an array of techniques for remembering complex information, interpreting questions, and organizing study sessions, Kylee applies her knack for tackling tough subjects and her insight as a med school admissions rep to helping students achieve their most ambitious goals.
Step 1 covers an enormous amount of material, and its vignettes test whether you can apply it quickly. That's why this live class goes deep on two high-yield systems, cardiovascular and endocrine, from ECGs, arrhythmias and valve disease to the thyroid, adrenal and calcium axes: you'll work Step 1-style vignette questions with an instructor, using elimination to see the traps built into each item. You'll leave with a structured approach to vignettes and a clear read on your weak spots. Built for medical students who want high-yield review that sticks.
