This is the greatest CZcams channel I’ve seen, and I’ve watched a LOT of this kind of content. It’s like a combination of all the great information I’ve heard to date.
Besides being so smart and handsome, you have a great sense of humor too. I agree with you. I have no clue and still so confused about antibiotics. I am going to take your advice to learn with layers. I am going to start learning the names of antibiotics today. Thank you very much for the quality videos.
dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend lately xD
Can you please do video on how you make coherent arguements through questions and how to tackle questions and review them in your next video. You can use amboss qbank since they don’t have problem with copyright. Like for example, you can do 10 questions, walking us through your thought process and how you review missed questions. Most people don’t talk about the test taking strategies. This will be super helpful. 🙏🏿
Amazing video. Thanks for the quality content in a world where youtubers just sugar coat the same advice differently. You've nailed it man. By the way, would you consider mentioning the concise physiology text book that created an interest in you, or any other med books worth checking out ?
Loved this video so much and yes all u were saying makes a lot of sense , I just realized I was subconsciously doing the same stuff u said without me knowing or planning to, like teaching for my own learning , studying in layers . Thanks and wish u the best
Thank you for this very helpful and insightful, yet still funny and interesting video. I like how add these little funny moments to the video and I'm so glad I bumped into your video. Keep it up Santiago! ;)
These skills might seem easy to acquire, but in my mind few people out there were born to question and analyze things the way you do. best of luck to you and all medical students over the world.
I have got 99.86 percentile just to crack neet UG ( Indian medical graduate exam ) .and most of Indian doctor who get government college seat should rank under 99th percentile to get selected.
Would you recommend Anking for the first 2 years of med school as a way to get that basic level of understanding? I have friends who are ignoring class just to focus on those cards and seem to passing. However I feel like the detail in lecture might be important for Step as well. What is your opinion?
Can you please link or tell how you were able to find old nbme’s . As I read your document about step 1prep and resources. And congratulations for amazing scores that you have scored on both the step exams💕 Thank you
@@SantiagoAQ Thank you so much! physiology is kicking my butt! I like to start with simplified versions of subjects so I can build a base to support more detailed information. Do you know if there is anything like Pathoma but for physiology?
Hola santiago, quería preguntarte que son los NBME y que signfican los números que llevan ? para dar uno tengo que pagar? me recomiendas algún grupo donde compartan material gratis? me recomiendas dar el usml después del internado medico? estoy a 4 meses de hacer mi internado...
Hola Denis te invito a ver los videos en el canal de tutorías medicina interna cubrimos casi todas esas preguntas a profundidad. Busca los grupos de Facebook del USMLE para descargar contenido, los NBME estiman el puntaje en el examen real, los discutimos en el video subido ayer, y tenemos un video completo hablando de cuando es el mejor momento para tomar el examen
Thanks for all the excellent content! If you don't mind I have a few questions from your Step 1 experiences that you share: 1) You mentioned that you wished you had focused on doing questions during your internship along with BnB videos. Would you have watched the videos just to support the difficult questions in a random way (as the questions) or would you have used them in a system-based fashion and watch them all? 2) Did you do the BnB questions for each video? 3) You highly recommended Amboss library to search for difficult topics. Is it much better than BnB (videos and slides) for this purpose (which is what I've been doing recently)? Thanks again for all your help and advice. All the best!
Hey Alexis thanks. 1. I would definitely try to use the videos in an as needed basis (First the questions and then the videos to understand the content if I see the need). However, if anybody sees this comment, I think that either way you do it (Old fashioned system-based way, or with the qbanks first approach) I think that as long as you start questions early on you'll do fine with either one. 2. I did not to any BNB questions (Didn't have access). 3. Both are awesome but different. The AMBOSS Library is superior when it comes to efficiency (In a couple of minutes you can answer pretty much any question you may have). BNB Videos are a bit lengthier, but are superior when it comes to breaking down logical explanations on difficult/complex subjects. Personally, I would go to the BNB videos when dealing with subjects completely new to me and use the AMBOSS library to solve specific questions that come up as I solve the qbanks
@@madmax-fr7sn is not the one displayed on the video, I sold that book a few years ago. But it's not that big imo, definetly not compared with Tresguerres (The recommended one)
I know im just a random guy from the internet but there arent alot of persons i can ask for solid advice on step 1. I feel like im just wing it by myself. Thats why i wanted a way to contact you. To address certain issues that im having and maybe get some insight
You are cool, I'm sure you will make a great chief resident.

Good job Santiago! I will try to beat your score💪
Hey man best of luck, hope you crush it!
Authentic and to the point. Thank you man!

Cool man. Interesting soft skills for usmle. Teaching it's the beast way to learn by your own

This is true. His videos are an explanation not HOW TO...because MOST people don't think like he does
I suggest you look up for ‘neuroplasticity’ u can’t be like him,but u can reach maybe 60-70 % as good as he is because our brain is adaptable
@@brahmaputramoskva1215 interesting! thanks for suggesting that i will look it up.
1. Teach
2. Learn in layers; Focus on how and why
A true legend 🔥
You are so amazing :)
Great video, I think the amount of teaching experience has translated to address a CZcams audience as well. What specialties are you intrigued by?
Thanks Madhukar! Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases in particular
@@SantiagoAQ very cool man, my roommates gf just matched into ID this week for fellowship! Great field. Keep up the quality content.
Can you create a guide for how to study for step 1 ...... if not please just give me an overview
I have got 99.86 percentile just to crack neet UG ( Indian medical graduate exam ) .and most of Indian doctor who get government college seat should rank under 99th percentile to get selected.
Congratulations
100% agreed on the teaching part, but I started a bit late (while in dedicated). You can check out my channel for similar content

Hats off!
I already see a great doc!
You should be Stocks broker!
Can you please link or tell how you were able to find old nbme’s . As I read your document about step 1prep and resources.
And congratulations for amazing scores that you have scored on both the step exams💕
Thank you
Zainab send me a DM to santiago.aq and I'll tell you how to find them
You were right Physeo and Boards and Beyond are highly useful resources
What's the little physiology book that you used? Thanks for this video!
It’s Human Physiology by Stuart Ira Fox (Disclaimer: It was not the one displayed on the video, I only have the digital version hah)
@@SantiagoAQ Thank you so much! physiology is kicking my butt! I like to start with simplified versions of subjects so I can build a base to support more detailed information. Do you know if there is anything like Pathoma but for physiology?
Not really bro, but if I find anything similar I’ll let you know!

@@SantiagoAQ Hola Santiago, me podrias indicar a donde puedo encontrar explicaciones para los NBMEs?
Congrats on your exemplary performance in USMLE Step 1? What residency are you in or intend to match in?
What was your exact study plan?
The score report doesnt offer percentile rank, how did you calculate yours?
Real stuff starts at 2:20 onwards .
1. Teach others
2. Learn in layers
Can u plz give an in depth of how u manage to get such marks without taking any notes
What is the name of the compact physiology book that you read?
Human Physiology by Stuart Ira Fox
The book looks different than in video. Suart Ira fox book is big, the one you have is only few pages.
@@madmax-fr7sn is not the one displayed on the video, I sold that book a few years ago. But it's not that big imo, definetly not compared with Tresguerres (The recommended one)
Im wondering how question in total have u done before taking ur exam?
Great
cooool
I am sure he will get in Neurosurgery residency or something !
Did you solve the offline Nbmes ?
Yes. From 13 on completely worth it. The first 12 not as useful
Not on step 1 though
You can't get the answers to 'Why questions' in Small books. Read big books once and then review books like first aid
What Physiology book did you use ? can you please share ?
I’m guessing brs physiology Linda costanzo
I cant find your usmle preparation video.
It's in spanish linked in suggested videos, but if you want in the video description there is a google document detailing the experience
@@SantiagoAQ thank you for the information
♥️♥️♥️♥️😍
At which year of med school u gave your step?
Last year
@@SantiagoAQ thanks for the advice..
is there an email i can contact you by?
Send me a DM to santiago.aq, I never check my mail
do you mean on instagram?
I know im just a random guy from the internet but there arent alot of persons i can ask for solid advice on step 1. I feel like im just wing it by myself. Thats why i wanted a way to contact you. To address certain issues that im having and maybe get some insight
It’s a pleasure to help if I can, reach me on Instagram and we’ll talk
@@SantiagoAQ i cant find u on instagram...
What was your total prep time?
6 months during internship + 6 months dedicated for step 1. 5 months dedicated for step 2
@@SantiagoAQ thanks for such a quick reply! And congrats on your amazing scores 🎉
You spent 5 years in medical school?
In Colombia Medical School lasts 6 to 7 years depending on the university
if i watch it at 1.5 speed you speak fluent english XD
Also the number of gut microbes outnumber the number of human cells by 10 times 🙏 so you basically are just 10% ‘you’ ... 😂
Gotta love those micro facts, never felt more accompanied indeed
