Dr. Kaushik
MRCS Part A

I would really like to thank the entire StudyMEDIC team and all the mentors for the time and effort! The weekly video sessions were of great help amidst my hectic work schedule. We were all encouraged to participate actively which helped me realize my areas of weakness. Feedbacks of our individual performance were given. The entire course was conducted “online” via zoom and that was so timesaving. Especially with regards to the skills section, I realized the importance of regular “practice” and “time management”! Special thanks to Dr. Anushka and Dr. Yugal Limbu for taking extra practice sessions and providing useful tips especially for communication skills!

Thank you so much for the structured and well planned course. StudyMEDIC classes was a life saver. Most important thing is to keep up with time and to know your strengths and keep finding lacunae in your preparation as well so you can fill those gaps. Daily quizzes and mock tests help to do exactly that. Cleared the exam by god’s grace. Extremely grateful to StudyMEDIC.
