Best Videos?

Has anyone seen one or multiple video sources for USMLE prep and can comment on what they felt was better? I have the kaplan videos and am wondering how those are maybe in comparison to something like doctors in training. I don't know of any other sources in specific but has anyone seen both kaplan and DIT, was there a lot of overlap or did one have some stuff the other didnt or do a better job? Or comment on anything else about the videos.

Different companies serve different populations.

Kaplan is more comprehensive.

DIT seems to be focused on more packed into a short time.

It depends on whether you need a full review or a high yield look through First Aid.

So true. One of my friends had the Kaplan videos, and they seemed extremely long compared to DIT course that I took. If you don't have a strong foundation, then maybe you should do Kaplan. Even if you do the Kaplan, I would still have to recommend doing DIT after it (it's only 3 weeks, after all). The Kaplan videos that I did see (like 2) have a lot more detail in them as well, which is probably not needed (again, depends on your understanding of the material to begin with).

This is not an overall web prep site, but good for step 1 pharmacology review. The videos are physiology based and have clinical relevance to the USMLE. The flash cards are free. www.pharmaniac.com

You're not fooling anyone.
