Year 1 – Infectious Diseases

Well explained with all its components. Better than reading 30 slides of ppt

Me gusta mucho más la introducción a este curso que la introducción aburrida que me dieron en la universidad. Se ve emocionante aprender el siguiente contenido

Loved the course! I would have liked to see more focus on commonly used antibiotics in primary care and more examples on types of commonly treated illnesses. Thank you

Excellent illustration, very informative. Lecturio is a life saver, I love it ?

It represents the form of most prevalent diseases nowadays.It's important for the medical-science.

Hmm slow Understanding Hi Hi Hi how many words for bedrock severs the best player from the bottom line of n mosses ?

Es excelente. Explica todo muy bien y te muestra lo necesario

sooooo sooo good!!! i understoof everything and is amazing that he included everything important about this bacteria! great teacher!

This lecture was extremely superficial. Serology is not discussed and neither the nuances of treatment of the pregnant patient. Cerebral and ocular forms of toxoplasmosis were also skipped. You need to get a physician specializing in Famliy Medicine to give this leture.

So useful, and yes the sound is on! It would be nice if you went deeper into the diagnosis

really gr8. to the point. fascinating. this whole program is quality cme. _JC

I like it very much ! This particular lecture is very complex and brilliant way of presenting by a doctor Vincent Racaniello.

Thanks for All Lecturio team , really appreciating your effort and these Videos.

I call him the "Bacteria man". One of the best !! His level of knowledge in the course is spectacular. Great !! I don't dislike anything about him I will recommend to my colleagues medical students

This man has made microbiology really easy for me to revise I like him so much because he is knowledgeable and calm. I definitely don't dislike anything about him I will recommend to my colleagues medical students

well explained lectures well explained lectures well explained lectures well explained lectures

so far I have been enjoying the course, would love to go back and continue when I'm not so occupied

on of the best lecture thanks to professor and lecturio also

The lectures are quite informative and clearly presented. It's like I'm attending a class for the very first time since I've taken an extended break from studying microbiology but I am confident that I will do well

Exellent lecture. Thank for teaching me. Enjoy teaching you are best.

Dr. Rcaniello has very good lecture, easy to understand and a pleasure to watch! The tone is calm and the explanation are so detailed and well explained! Thank you!

It's very well explained, but still need to be more detailed. For my parasites exam it is not suffice.

It is clear and well organized so that I could learn the subjects which seemed complicated when the lecturer presented them in university. It also made me interested in microbiology which I didn't even like to learn it. Thank you

The lecture was apt, the lecturer demonstrated a great understanding of the topic discussed

Great lecture, very allegoric, nice and easy to understand. Great didactics and methodology.

Muy claro y conciso con su conferencia, me agrada la manera de abordar el tema.

Very good explanation by Dr. Vincent Racaniello. Clear and precise language and can be well understood by laymen. Pretty impressive work. Highly recommended.

Really love the videos by Proff Elliot, and I love that he explains that concepts are constantly changing but gave us the foundation to build on.

best teacher in the world. such a good summary . thank you

I loved it good explanation . will think of definetly subscribiing . straight to the point

Coronavirus. Relevant topic. Could not have been made available at a better time. Very good job 5 stars. I encourage everyone to listen to all the lectures in this track. Although, more and newer information is made available everyday, this course makes a great foundation for solid knowledge based. I like it very much. 5 Stars.

I dont understand the neg review. This is such a good lecture covering the key points. I found it very helpful

I love it that I get a clearer view of the topic. The lecture is straightforward. Yes, I would recommend to others

The lecture is organized and precise. I would recommend it others. Moreover, it's less time consuming and as I said highlights what material is needed.

much wanted detail. thank you so much, perfect and informative.

the material had been given clear easy to understand .Helpful in clinical practice and updated ,which is super impoertant

sorry, my english is not so well, but it is very well here

Super simple and short! Great introduction to bacteriology and covers the major points.

I am updating my knowledge base in microbiology as I dive into teaching the course on a more regular basis than before. The information presented in these videos is concise, delivered well by Dr. Racaniello, and given in small chunks that make it easy to stop and come back at a later time.

The most fun I had learning about bacteria. That Italian New Yorker accent is everything! His E. coli lectures are the reason I passed my midterm and can totally discuss anything E. coli like a pro. So happy I discovered him and will definitely come back for more.

He explain so easy and make it fun to learn ! For me it’s better to watch videoes than read, and I like that I could watch the basics for the midterms before I start read !;)

I had a great time learning! It was short and very concise lecture series but I haven't able to keep going, I can't afford to pay the premium. Makes me sad because it helped me a lot. :(

Simple. Precise. Very good. Don t waist any time. This topic is very high yield for any medical test.

This is a very clarifying lecture on Listeria, taught by a professor with very good teaching skills. And kinda funny.

great presentations by an expert -- lots of great images-- in a concise manner!!

very clear and detailed explanations,basics and detailed information is well explained.

Makes the tough subject easier to understand . This app has shown very beneficial. I think I will buy the year subscription after my 3 months are up

Nice and comprehensive overview! Easy to understand/listen! Bacteria made easy.

Excellent content, well delivered. Great review for me since it has been over a year since I took microbiology.

Perfect... I undarstant many things here... Nice explanation Wish best for you

It's give simple explanation,easy to understand, Pharma is difficult to study but it helps us, thanks for app.

Microbiology is a founding block of all things medical. Professor Racaniello made not so easily pronounceable words sound so easy. His pace and style being so pleasant, he made it attractive for me to sit and focus start to end. I look forward to more of his lectures.

They are chunked in small amounts and presented very clearly. The visuals are excellent and the professor’s pace is terrific.

Brilliant course. It has a great differential diagnostics and an overall content is really good.

I love the way the professor teach and the PPT are well planed

not enough details, like the fast staph. is Catalase-positive and non motile . more details needed.

I LOVE THIS DOCTOR , he make the lecture more absorbable

I really appreciate because it helped me a lot to grab such a complicated topic in a simple or decent way.i can't explain.eventually I loved to learn subjects in this manner

I really liked all of the pharmacology series on lecturio and I can say that Dr. Shukle makes it that much more entertaining. He’s very informative and always adds his personal experiences with the use of each medication. Absolutely wonderful lecturer. I really appreciate his lectures to a great extent!

He was very wholesome,calm,clear composed and his use of references to his experience were wonderful.

The lectures are well explained and he made it easy for understanding the microbiology concept

I choose this rate because Dr Vincent deserve it. I really really like it. Definitely I will recommend to other students.

I like it very much because it explains in detail . I will recommend it to my fellow medical friends . Thank you Lecturio

The lecture were so concise and upto the point. The questions following each video were very helpful in remembering the key facts.

no sound on the video. no sound on the video.

simplest and clear and touch the point figure help in understand

Hello Dr Elliott, Yes this course is very complex and very interesting !!!! Especially pathogenesis part I think very important!!! As all treatment depends on it! Yes ,I do like this COVID 19 course ! I have taken so long to read those sessions as trying to compare from other sources if it had differences. That why is more interesting to study and memorable! I always love to study with differentials! Sorry about that that. As it is a new virus + with various subtypes , I am taking my time to study rather just reading ! I study to gain knowledge and skills not for a certificate Therefore I may take longer time And study all the details . This course is amazing I still think COVID-19 needs to be studied a very profoundly in order to have more effective and efficient treatment for the patients who experience this dangerous COVID-19 disease Especially I think post- COVID recovery’s very important as well. Many thanks for your great talk . Excellent explanation , and content is very informative . Dr .Gulbanu Akimgalievna

It is fine, like it very much. Very informative and useful

a good update for a recent pandemic that has negatively affected so many communities

Definitely recommend to everyone, informative and concise, looking forward to more lectures by Dr Sean

The information was specific and to the point. The power point went with the information presented. It was easy to follow and understand.

Nice summary comparing and contrasting other differential diagnoses and walk-through of a typical case of COVID.

waste of time for usmle prep highly dont recommend. thats it

It is helpful and updated And with presences of quiz it condence information.

Clear, structured information. Up to date and well done! I would recommend this lecture.

high yield info, the overview is excellent and helped me towards the exams.

Coming from someone that has never taken microbiology before, I feel as if it's explained simply without All the fluff, especially for a “Ph.D.,” which, from my experience, makes things more complicated than they need to be when giving lectures and quizzes. Ex. When I take the quiz at the end of each lecture I understand what the question is asking, and I'm able to respond Accordingly. This is what's missing in the science classes that I taken at the Schools I've attended.

Good explanation of the drugs side effects, also very complete

I loved how thoroughly the pathogenicity of each microorganism was covered. It was also great that the Professors explained, in detail, exactly how the microorganisms infected their target cells.

I think I choose this because is very understanding the classes and the Dr is very practical

Very good information and I’m learning well knowledge which is helpful for my learning

xcvtth wh wtyhy hsh s s wedh dg hj wsj w y. 5 y5 j65e j

I thought the introductory lectures were to indroductory and to much of a waste of time. I felt they introductory lecture were a insult to a medical students education level. I almost turned them off and went on to another section but, much later the same professor started to increase the level of knowledge in each video. This is the reason I am giving four stars. Please revise the introductory lectures in microbiology. A USMLE student does not have time to waste. I'm not done with the lectures on microbiology so I'd also like to comment later and here I feel I have been very generous with my review.

Very easily explained, great course content. Review videos are easy to access, in case the questions were not answered correctly.

More emphasis on how the usmle style questioning will be asked

I like it very much but the only issue is that the lectures are not complete about all the bacterial species of myobacteria for example, and I'd love to study all of them with lecturio cause it's simple and easy to understand so that I don't have to study the unavailable topics on other websites

Very well explained and fascinating lecture! Thank you very much!

I got to say, i love Racaniello's videos on microbiology so far. But this series of the enteric bacteria is confusing and disorganised. Some of the slides provided are different from the ones used by him. Sometimes the script adds some erroneous information, making the already confusing explanation even worse.

I like all your lectures, you give a great explanation of the material, thank you, Professor!

Thank you!!! All your lectures are very interesting and with nice explanations!

Thank you for your interesting, useful and simple way do explain difficult things!

Thank you, dear professor for amazingly informative and interesting lectures

I like this cause of a simply explaining things, and I would like to recommend it for nurses and also doctors.

Great teacher. Well explained. Learning outcomes well defined and all comprehended.

Enjoyed the format for this and other Lecturio classes. Graphics are concise. Instructor is very good at explaining concepts

The content but also the Professor Vincent Racaniello, he is convincing , spacing and detailing what is needed to be captured.

Really well explained. it was simple and concise but informative.

Professor Racaniello masters the topic very well. He knows what he is talking about. I like his confidence. He is one of the most fluent professors I ever have

good lecture explaining everything about: Anti-HIV Agents: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NsRTIs) – Antiviral Drugs

Excellent professor. I think this lecture in particular (fungi) is quick and just the essential facts.

Love the lectures and reviews and quizzes and the fact that you can repeat for more clarification.

Amazing lecture! So easy to understand and so enjoyable to watch; congratulations!

While watching this lectures I got the concepts way clearer than in my past semester, I like it is simplified, no need to explain the needless details, just what’s precise. I would recommend this course and already have

better way of making it very interesting,short lectures. easily understable

hard to understand this lecture. I also don't understand why lecturio makes it so hard to give a rating. Why can't you just accept a few words? Why do I have to type at least 10 words AND give a heading? If I have to write a short letter every time I give a rating, it just means you don't want people to give you a rating.

Good explaination, Love it! Easy to Understand, Keep it up!

Simple and easy going explaination! easy for me to understand. Keep it Up!

This lecture was great! I could understand what the professor was explaining and I understood it pretty well.

Very interesting and engaging. The energy from Dr. Racaniello is absolutely contagious, thank you very much!

I haven't reviewed the lecture but personally from watching some of the previous vids I feel that doc Vincent is not giving a USMLE lecture. while what he does is very good, lecturio is very specific for USMLE, the lecturer has to hit the most high yield points in the most concise and easy to understand way. the benchmark would be Hassan sattar in pathoma, very on the point summarizing massive topics to a single slide.

I like how much simple he makes the tough materials in pharmacology course

This lecture is very informative yet concise. Everything that you need to know is here. Thank you

Excellent, clear, interesting and informative presentation which facilitates comprehension and memory of essential material.

Elegí la calificación máxima, por que la explicación esta bien estructurada.

Very good introduction courses for beginners and much knowledge for course reviewers!

I like it becauser it was very helpful & simple .. I like the translate sevice it so helpful as well. Thanks a lot lecturio

The lecture went a little fast for me, but it was OK. The problem I had was that the mobile app would interrupt the lecture with quizzes on the material before the instructor taught it. Is this intentional? I found it very frustrating.

the tone of voice and eye contact good just like in a classroom

It helps me alot to memorize the things..Thanku so much for such an amazing work ..it was really helpfull for me

Both lecturers are very clear and Dr Elliot goes slowly so I get more of the quizzes correct.

Pretty well explained. Its short and very useful when i have to study for my college tests. Totally recommended!

The lecturer speaks clearly and is engaging. The material is presented quite well - in a logical manner. I feel the material could go in a bit more depth (but perhaps later lectures will). I would probably give this series 5 stars, however, I'm currently studying for the USMLE, and I feel half or more of the review questions are extremely low-yield. For example, there are questions about which section of a plant does a specific fungus infect. That's okay to test understanding of the lecture material presented, but I don't want to have that type of question included in my "Spaced Repetition" for memorization. It's a real waste of my limited time and brain space. Please ither remove the low-yield questions, or perhaps a better (and faster) option would be to add an option to turn off the "dumb" questions.

Love the course, thank you very much teacher, it really helped me.

This course has all I need, so a 4 star. However, I didn't get something special so not 5 star.

I can't rate five stars to all the classes due to the time, eventually I will. Thank you Dr. Virtual hugs from Mexico.

I spent weeks reading and trying to understand from the books but these lectures made it so easy to understand, I also love the fact that it keeps on asking questions so you can remember them. Thank you so much for these lectures, I love them.

Clear and precise explanation! Goes into the essence of this condition and correlates very well the clinical presentation

It helps me a lot to study the topic. Well covered! EXCELLENT!

More quiz question would be amazing. Slides are very good.

I've taken classes from Dr. Racaniello previously on the coursera.org platform. He is a very engaging instructor and he is no different in this Lecturi series, at least for the free part. As a citizen scientist, the full cost is too much so for this series I can only comment on the bacteria sections that are free. The quiz questions are very relevant to the material presented and the reference material is equally good.

Superb delivery makes it easy to understand. High yield content

it has updated information. it has the information which we need to know at an undergraduate level so there is no chance of getting confused and loaded with lots of unnecessary information

So nice and well explained with great doctors ???? they make the impossible possible

It was fun learning the content. Frankness was encouraging. Important points have been outlined

Its apt for 2nd yrs....simple and all main points are given.

I am a new Nursing student and with Lecturio I am learning a lot of new topics and getting a good foundation for my program. Especially in this Covid crisis, Lecturio is God sent. Thank you

The lectures as it is are very good however I wish they are more in detail and drug specific

Professor is very clear, and questions are accurate. I am learning lots of basic stuff about antibiotics

Both Dr. Sean Elliot and Vincent Racaniello are awesome. Both of them provide key information of microbiology. The presentations are clear and easy to remember

El programa ya se me acaba en dos meses, estaría muy interesada de volver a comprar si tuviesen en español y tambien como estudiante me ayudaría mucho un descuento

I really liked all the lectures They are to the point

i chose this rating because the lecture is up to the minute, well researched. and the presentation is straight to the point.

J'ai adoré les cours ,ils m'ont économisé beaucoup de temps de révision ?

The classes are short covering usually one topic at a time. This allows more to learn the material easily.

Excellent lectures. Racaniello is very concise, knowledgeable and interesting. Visuals in lectures good too. Pace is at optimum speed and duration of each lecture in a nice digestible package. Content is of adequate depth - not too simplistic and not too complicated. Sequencing seems to be a little off though, with questions appearing before video. First virus video seems to talk about Baltimore classification as if already covered, so I’m not sure if sequencing of videos is correct either.

He is so natural , after topic explanation he then takes example of daily life, easy to understand

Dear Pravin Shukle, Thank you and thanks to Lecturio. I am writting from Turkey. Accorrding to the sistem here after 6years of medical school training we take an exam(TUS) in order to be able to continue specialization in diferent branch of medicine. Most of the questions in that exam were about points you emphasized on your lecture.

Thanks for the lecture, but I have a question regarding gram + bacterias, isn't Neisseria Gonorrhea the flora that causes gonorrhea ? to my knowledge it's a diplococcus and it's gram-negative, does it means that penicillins are also like similar in action just like cephalosporins especially the third generational ones?

It gave me all the information I needed. Plus the videos were updated to COVID-19. I definitely recommend this to all health care workers

The ease of listening and staying engaged is incredible...there's a lot of information, but before you know it, you've completed the lectures. The real-world approach makes it easy to focus, I appreciate it. Thanks

I liked that the subject was covered in depth and was easy to understand. Good for clinicians and med students.

Interesting and informative across the spectrum. This course covers everything of interest.

Great courses ,knowledgeable and passionate professors.Perfect for those who will forever have a thirst for knowledge. I wish there were more hours in the day

Learning with Lecturio is very easy for me because it is simplified, organized and medically relevant. Thumbs up.

Covered all high yield points , very nice illustration which helps in remembering things better

I found these lectures very interesting and very useful! Congratulations to the ability of communication of the teacher.

Summarised but enough to have good knowledge about Fungi, its recommended

Excellent and well presented lectures ,easy to understand and refresh memory!

It’s valuable and well presented lectures ! I recommend it for my colleagues

es un excelente vídeo, y esta muy bien explicado; justo el tema de mi próxima evaluación

It was very comprehensive and interesting. I want to become a virologist too.

Really liking the microbio bacteria videos. Feel like the presentation of the info is well done and really easy to grasp in such a short amount of time.

This video is precise and concise, thanks a lot, I found this series to be incredibly helpful

Microbiology is explained very clearly in a interesting manner its no doubt an interactive method of teaching!!!

Brings together a balanced and complete picture of the usefulness and pathologies caused microorganisms.

Very good though sometimes too colloquial or informal in style of delivery and emphasizing test material too much.

Quick n essentials...thanx alot...????????see u in other lectures ....it is very nice that you back bone with firstaid

Extremely informative and engaging. Amazing lecturer! Thank you! You make concepts so clear, and provide real-life scenarios for the diseases caused by the microbes. Humourous in some places, which makes the content easy to remember.

the reason chooses this rating regarding pop up AD, I am not ready yet. I need more time to think about what my work schedule to fit my study and payments.

It could be improved with more bacteria (ex: for Neisseria there's only Meningitidis and not Gonorrheae, that's is treating in the Sexual Transmitted Infections just as a clinical approach)

I like that professor tells very interesting and useful information. Helps to review.

Best class in protein synthesis inhibitors I have ever watched. Thank you!

Well-designed and informative I would recommend that the quiz questions can be more effective. For example, some answers are just memorizing names or some details that are only noted orally for few seconds.

The video lectures helped me organize the information I already knew and filled the gaps in between. I appreciated how Dr. Wilson was concise and straight to the point with his lectures.

I chose this because I am a fan of viruses and I want to invent a Medicine for all viruses and I loved it very much because I want to help mankind and learn, and this is a type that we must all talk about.

I have greatly enjoyed watching Dr. Shukle’s lectures. They are short but with tons of info that makes the subject so much easier to understand. It cleared up so many things for me. Thank you Dr. Shukle!

I has troubles understanding it in school. Thankfully I understood from Dr. Shukle:)

Really great videos. Extremely helpful, though on our curriculum we are required to know basic lab diagnosis of the common bacteria and identify their culture in lab practical exams it would have been helpful if that area had a section as well.

The vedios don't cover many important aspects such as cultures , serology etc. Every topic is over summarised and isn't very good for concept building

I really like the way the professor make things simple to understand with real-life example, thank you , I finally understood this disease !

The issues are almost complete and notes are abvious and are basic and pretty fluent lectures

Really clear explanation with real life example, thank you so much. I had trouble to learn the cycle of this parasite but thank to this professor I get it now and only after one lecture. Even for the prevalence in the world, it's easy for me to remember it now thanks to this lecture.

I think these videos are good enough for us to learn.

Clear explanation, most of the time very detailed and easy to understand

sir , the way you talk about microbes ,inspire me to learn more.

It's explained in a very understandable way and slow for non native speackers

Really clear explanation, and really easy to understand! I’m lovin’ it

I like Lecturio very much because the videos are simple, short, and hit the high notes. I got a A (first and only one to score a A) on my first exam in microbiology where the majority of the students got 60% and under.

I really love how he mainly focuses on the important details needed.its amazing I love you guys.

?wesome lectures, everything I need to prepare for the exams and use in my clinical practice!

Clearly explain new and important information. Distinctive style. A great summary of the topic

This lecture really helped me a lot, it’s so well explained and dynamic that makes it easier to understand. Thank you doctor.

The lecturer touched on all of the most important points with clarity and conciseness.

He is energetic and I like that very much about him.

It would be nice to have an extra chapter o add a lab identification for bacterias. Like techniques to identify them. Oxidase positive o catalase negative like so. Also is very useful in enterobactereceaa microorganisms to add the biochemistry scale o battery examples like TSI LIA MIO Citrate Urea. I’m from Chile and i am in formation to become a laboratory Medical technologist

absolutely wasting of time for whom needs to study for step 1

sorry about the bad rating but honestly it is not helpful for step 1 exam and the first aid book especially Dr.Vincent Racaniello, with all respect he has a lot of effort to let the student understand but not for step 1 exam, it is waste of time. hopefully you guys will fix this issue

Excellent ! All the lectures of Dr. Sean Elliot are amazing ! A+++

I love the lectures so much. I like trip on steroids I never have consumed lol. However. I think it would be great if they had the ten second mark or arrow so that it would rewind or fast forward the lecture. It’d Save time just like you tube videos and stuff. Thank you kindly

Great but insufficient. The second part has no subtitles for foreign speakers

The Best Antimicrobial Pharmacology ever seen. IT is explained so well. I love IT.

A calm and organized lecture made in a way that is easy to recollect with the start and end saying what we are going to learn and what we have learned.

Faltan aspectos microbiologicos como factores de virulencia y patogenia, pruebas de laboratorio, y enfermedades que produce.

The professor's way of teaching precisely saying his clear and neat approach to the lectures is what makes them great.

Thank you, this is helping me so much. I love these videos.

The Pro. ist amazing and has a very clear way to introduce concepts The informations lack any medical relevance, they are directed more towards biological knowledge Please, try to be more oriented towards medicine, Sings and symptoms are needed

Not a great virus review course for Usmle step one students

well most know that shigella destroys gis mucosa...but the pathophysiology is now clear...thanx lecturio

It is very audible, good sound system, analysed with pictures and really more defined

This set of lectures on Staph were very generalized and did not cover the other Staph bacteria commonly seen on STEP 1 (i.e. saprophyticus and epidermidis). This seems to be a common theme of not going deep enough to cover material necessary for STEP, yet advertising that you all cover enough material for STEP 1.

The material taught seemed to comprise of only 10% of what we need to know for USMLE. Various bacteria ranging from gram positive cocci all the way to mycobacteria were all missing. And even with the bacteria taught ( streptococci, staphyloccci , vibrio , e.coli , shigella, salmonella) lacked a tremendous amount of depth. Very disappointing that I paid for this. Hoping virology lectures will be better.

nothing could be better, I liked your way and simplicity with fully clear explanations.

clear helpful illustrations. although history took much time, but I liked the way you went through it, your slides also were simple, not crowded and well organized.

it's very clear course with direct points and simple explanations.Also the notes and slides are well done.

It tells the information is not really close to the USMLE questions.

Simple and easy to understand, he really likes the subject. I wish the videos were longer with more information. Maybe an advance lecture? Thank you!

Mr Racaniello explained viral genetics very well in this course, however clinical diseases (measles, mumps, hepatitis viruses, etc) were not mentioned. Most importantly, HIV was not discussed.

Mr Racaniello presents all of the material very well and I believe that he is an excellent lecturer. However, there are many important types of bacteria missing from this course. Pseudomonas, Treponema Pallidum, zoonoses, Clostridium, Tetanus, Helicobacter Pylori, Neisseria, Bordetella, etc. USMLEs step 1 go into great detail regarding many of these bacteria that were omitted from this course.

So many sub topics are missing. Please add new lectures to cover those topics. Bacteriology portion is incomplete

yes, very good! Very rethorical and good lecture. I love lecturio

Nice one, well described, nice talker, I enjoyed a lot. Keep it up!

Me encanta, todo bien conciso, de manera muy explicada y digerible de combrender

not detailed and for a introductory vedio should be more explanatory

As expected. concise, easy to follow, to the point. However, more about biologics was needed: uses, dosages, routes of admin. side effects Again, Corticosteroids (oral, topical: eg. betamethasone, predmisolone, triamcinolone.......) are missing

nice course, almost complete and informative. Liked the practice and case studies very much. they make you better put things in a context. i would love to have more of them. Plus, would love to help out in finding a mnemonic and strategies memorizing relevant characteristics and specifications to drugs

very nice and efficient lectures, you have to write some notes to your book from this lectures!

I think that this course is a incredible tool for medical students. I belive that it's important the Microbiology for doctors and it's great that we have access at it's information

I would love to give a higher rating but many important pathogens are not covered

So, during my first two years, I thought this course was a little on the light side, and it feels a bit as if the instructor is more stating facts rather than explaining and linking ideas. I know they tend to keep the videos short, but I think this course could have benefitted from more time, from a learning the material stand point. As a video series for learning, you might be left wanting with just over an hour per subject. As a learning source, 3 out of 5. So, now on to why you should really give this guy a watch. I was looking for a quick microbiology review during my dedicated study. I had watched sketchy, and read the textbooks, but wanted a quick, solid review series to watch during lunch and dinner during my dedicated, something a little bit more to the point than sketchy. This lecture series is the holy grail of high yield review that is exactly what any student looking for a great microbiology source to watch during their dedicated study. It is short, to the point, and highlights what you need to get most of those micro questions right on UWORLD and has the images in the slides that you need to be able to recognize. High yield review source, 5 out of 5. So, overall, I would give this series a 4 out of 5. If your a first or second year, this might not be the best choice for microbiology, however as a high yield review I would rank these microbiology videos second to none.

5/5 because of the simplified explanation of the human microbiome. I like the approach used because it sets the stage for acquiring important high yield information later into the subject.

enjoyed the lecture, I would love one on the legalities of pharm and the laws for prescribing

This actually was an amazing lecture. Made me understand a lot of issues around Gentamycin.

Great lecturer. Keeps the lecture interesting and easy to remember. Wish I had him as my professor.

I liked the course. informative, easy to follow, to understand and to memorize, However, I have noticed that many topics/ microbes have not been addressed (TB, N.Gonorrhea, T. Pallidum, Leprosy, Mycoplasma, clostridium ....... ). Although those might be touched in other topics such infectious diseases, but they should be highlighted in a microbiology course. Would recommend the entire Lecturio to my daughter who just started her first year of medical school. Microbiology is supposed to be studied during her 2nd year though

Great course! Check the MCAT: Microbiology Course for the pre-cursors of these USMLE Step 1 lectures (overview of gram staining, cell wall structure, etc).

Very nice lectures! Focuses on the need-to-know things that have clinical relevance.

that was a simple and accurate description i liked it very much

This course was informative and professional. I look forward to learning more!

Very calming, understandable, and professor knows what information is right to share

Assalam-o-Alikum! Sir your lectures are very informative and its my humble request kindly give us access to download these lectures because lots of time taken by lecture due to internet problem plz try to understand and give us access of downloading

All lectures are brief and to the point . The lecturer uses examples to help reinforce important points about the drugs. He uses humour to keep the lecture interesting and engaging. I would recommend this to everyone as their go -to pharmacology tutorial course.

A very good lecturer of Microbiology. Thank you and I am looking forward in learning more.

i feel that u r teaching better than other professors we as a student understanding better micro as step by step

I love your lectures, you are such a talented proffesor. Great work.

I liked how strep was broken down between group A and group B but the video didn't mention the different types of strep in each group ie s. pyogenes. The quiz asked about catalases but didn't mention it in the video.

things made quite easy with interactive lectures and slides and tables

By my opinion, very interesting and informative lectures. Thank you very much!

I'm a foreign medial MD internal medicine specialist and I came to us I just felt lost but when I find this tools my life just changed! I already suggest This to other physicians here in USA. I hope I can pass all the usmle steps I will let you know guys!

short and sweet concepts. nice tables. easy to understand. thank you.

Just want to say that this lecturer is gold. He speaks clearly, does not refer to items not present on the slide (thus confusing the learner), and excellent at teaching. Really enjoying all your lectures Dr. Shukle.

I like it because it is really going to be perfect for my learning and I liked everything from it! It was really great taught by the Educator.

This guy is fantastic lecturer and the best on this platform, knows the subject matter, knows how to capture your attention throughout and also has a way of going over everything in a short summary. However, I would have appreciated if he becomes more test oriented. Thank you.

Dr. Shukle has a great tone and lays emphasis on what's considered high yield for exam. I like examination oriented lecturers who constantly open your eyes to those things that are frequently tested.

immunology can be quite difficult to follow at times but this lecturer made it quite precise and concise

A very difficult topic which is highly volatile to forget, but lecture does his best to keep us informed

Like it very much. Will like it more if you can add more bacterias and viruses on the course!!!

Very good presentations, accurate and to the point lectures. Love to study with you!!!

The professor makes the subject matter interesting and understandable for the layperson.

Hello! I have not finished all the course so I can not give you a proper feedback. but so far I really liked it and it has been quite useful. Thanks.

Lectures very good. But i wish you had some themes like giardiasis, amebiasis and others.

very bad .. they dont have mycobacterium.. dont purchase the subscription .. these people have fooled us. they dont have anything on mycobacterium tuberculosis

I love how all these complicated defenitions and ininformation is explained in such a pedagogical way. Many thanks!

the explanation is very clear, the scientific names are pronounced very well and the illustrations are standing out.

very well explain and illustrate! The information match perfectly the pictures and the speed of the expositor is flawless.

Thank you very MUCH. I learned a lot. He presents the lectures in a very understandable way. I appreciate him a lot. I became so excited while listening to his presentation. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. God bless you.

MBBS student cant get benefit from this lecture. The clear concept needed for a future Doctor about Microbiology.

Am been top of class always when ít comes pharmacology

It's really helping me getting the basic understanding. And the tips for surviving medical school is worth to try.

Splendid and simplified a rather complex topic which makes understanding its details in depth much easier

he talks very clearly, coherent, easy to follow, i read only the free sections was so nice and clear.

Lectures are good but not enough information. How about genetic replication, metabolism, ....? MISSING!

I really enjoyed learning something that I wouldn't have enjoyed otherwise. Thanks a lot for such a great lecturer.

I studied the lectures for NBME Microbiology as a supplement to the other material. It was very helpful and I strongly recommend these lectures by Dr. Shukle.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the videos. Also by listening to these lectures, my uni lectures are making sense to me now. Thank you so much Dr Vincent. You have made my life so much easier now.

Sometimes the lecturer reads some information without explaining what is meant by it. If you can improve that I would be glad.

The lectures are well organised and gives you a basic understanding of viruses and how different types of viruses replicates in the host cell but it doesn't talk about the individual viruses, pathogenesis and the diseases caused by the individual viruses.

Doctor Racaniello gives us great explanations about the different topics of bacterial biology. One of the things that I appreciate the most from his lectures, is the appropiate speed and use of clear language which facilitates the understanding for foreign students such as myself.

It is well presented and informative. I like that it is concise and emphasizes on what we really need to know.

Amazing stuff but doesnt differ the exotoxins into the four forms of them.

I liked the lecture it gave me a brief idea of the concept

I think each lecture is great, but the contents are not enough for USMLE. More precisely, the contents of general principle parts are helpful, but those of detailed exposition parts should be improved to contain more information. For example, You need to provide us for more details about many types of bacteria. The number of kinds of bacteria addressed in this course is small. It's far from enough for USMLE step 1. The same same goes for viruses. The others are favorable.

Great teacher !! I was amazed with your way of teaching.. You made one of the most hard subjects look so easy thank you

PPT stands out, many extra materials, some important questions really inspired me

Lecturio is one of the BEST online medical education website providing authentic resources for a FULL spectrum of medical specialties. The lecturers at Lecturo have full command on their subjects and make it very easy to understand even the difficult and complicated issues. Dr. Maqsood Ali MBBS, MRCGP, DTCD, FCCP

First time I get to understand the various confusing genomes. wonderful

very brief and only touches the superficial parts of ssDNA genomes

I love his courses! Really interesting and informative! Thank you for this awesome lecture.

The best lecture and teacher. I like it very much. Grettings.

I really like the detailed lectures and how they break it down so it can be understood easily.

Need area of study in ref to Family a nurse a Practitioner for state exam

the lecturer is very good in lecturing, i understand very well morethan in the class hall

Estudié medicina hace muchos años y las cosas han cambiado enormemente desde entonces. La aproximación a la clínica se me hace cada vez más difícil sin una vuelta a las bases y en eso el Dr. Racaniello ha sido extraordinariamente clasificador.

Can you please consider including the doses and half life's of *all* the drugs

Very up to date information about prions. Professor Racaniello makes every lecture interesting.

Thank you so much It was really useful and helpful

Very precise and concise, highly recommended to all my friends and colleagues

i will recommend this lecture on this topic because i was failling to undestand but after this tutorial i am confident

I had no background in microbiology and this lecture helped me a lot with closing the gap. Thank you

Very passionate lectures. I learned a lot about the basics of virus

He is very passionate lecturer. His lecture is very engaging and interesting. Thanks for your lecture

best teacher eveeer! He makes it so easy! I want him as a teacher in my University! in peru!

Thank you very much Dr. You just made me love inmunology.

The course is not sufficient in clinical settings. Very theory into research , yet less in diagnosing . Good for a student into research PhD, yet not for students doing medical degree or USMLE.

Dr Racaniello, is good. Easy to understand, good content. This course is hitting all topics in my med school course.

A like this course and lecterio helps me for understanding the concept of this course easily. Really lecturio is place where medical student gets his needed resources. So thanks and keep going that great work for medical

Very well done job. Dr. Vincent is excellent. If someone does not have a better understanding of basic and clinical microbiology is not his fault. He has done all his best to facilitate the concepts in a very clear manner so that everyone can understand. Good job Dr. Vincent.

Since I've been using lecturio for pharmacology everything started to make sense. I was very worried I would never be able to understand and know all the aspects of differt drugs, because no one explained them to me as good as professor Shuckle. I like it very much because after a clear clasification of drugs and explaining each one, doctor Shuckle introduses personal experience( pericarditis treated with aspirin) which made me remember some things better. I like very much that at every course there are questions! You really saved my career as a doctor with this site and these courses. High quality content! Thank you very much for the support and also I appreciate lecturio asks us to give feedback and takes time to read it. Thank you dr. Shuckle for putting the information in a way that we as students can understand it better. I'm very happy!

Dr. Vincent Racantello is a wonderful facilitator. His teaching is very connected to the concepts of the topics. His explanations are very clear. He even takes time to recap when it is necessary so that the learner can stay on right task. I wish I had more available time to invest in his teaching. He really inspires me to push myself a little bit more. Thanks again

Dr. Racaniello is a very good professor. He takes all his time to ensure that his students understand the concepts of the topics. All his feedbacks and examples are very relevant.

He is a very good lecturer and great facilitator of microbiology.

hello Lecturio Im from Philippines Im so happy that I came to find this very knowledgeable site where I can learn sruffs related to my course which is Pharmacy.

He is a great professor. He takes all his time to explain the topics.

That's so great! The lecture is so simple to understand. Thanks PhD!

like it very much thank you Pravin Shukle for this course

I loved the lecture so much! But sir, isn't there something called as fifth generation cephalosporins? And please please pleaaaase add more questions to each chapter. Only 3 questions per chapter is not enough. Please consider this sir.

I'd like if you add a specific explanation about the main types of viruses and diseases caused by them like you did with fungi, parassites and bacteria

Very clear and concise material!!! easy to understand and remember with great association with the clinical part.Really helpful for everyone who didn't want to waste their time with boring teacher in the classroom.

great and well made, I'd like if you add some quiz even in this section!

Very well made, all the important thinghs to say are dealt.

Great but I'd like more type of bacteria and how to treat them

Perfect, easy to follow and understand. I would be appreciated if there are more topics about treatment.

The clarity of the information being delivered is extremely satisfactory! I enjoyed watching this lecture.

Very effective. All money spent is worth it. Highly recommended.

Thorough, organized, not only important for exams but also very much applicable on daily basis in patient care.

Lecture was well organized and covered the appropriate level for this topic.

Very good teacher! Funny! Great job. I can spend all they long listening to him.

He is very entusiasthic at teaching, and makes very clear examples. I love him.

I like too much,plz make more high yelid questions with each topics,i appreciate it.

The lecturer is really good in explaining the concepts and has really great clarity. It feels so good to listen to him and understand the underlying pharmacological principles

I would like to recommend all the USMLE and other medical exam preparing candidates to go through the Lecturio because the lectures are concise and easy to understand.

This is in my opinion the perfect way of building up lectures: Starting out with introduction to all different groups. Followed by details in all groups and ending with questions, so that you are sure you can use the knowledge you have just gained.

This lectures goes through the important prion diseases. It focuses a lot on statistics making the lecture a littler longer that needed. Overall a good lecture if you're not too busy in your studying

This lecture was very organized by introduction and then going into detail with the most important fungi. Made it easy to approach and easy to jump back and forward in lecture if you had a part you wanted to see again

Videos were superb able to knw the concept very well.please upload more videos of individual parasites bacteria & fungus

Very good course!!

It was very informational , I mean too much statistics about the history. Its really good for a class. But its bit TIME CONSUMING for some one running against time. One should be able to to hit guess the key points for revision. Im sorry, but this is my honest opinion.

Very succinct and clear material. The delivery was great and the organization of the material was easy to follow.

covers everything essential, good overview, easy to follow, relevant info

much more questions needed for every video, more then few in the end of every thema

Professor Racaniello is engaging. He really has made the study of microbiology enjoyable. This is the best Lecturio course I've taken to date. He has captured my interest. I'm looking forward to the more advanced microbiology course that I'll be taking in a couple of weeks. I would also love to see a Lecturio course on the microbiome, which I feel deserves a program of its own. This alone could be a 12 hour course.

Crisp and clear presentation. Easy to follow. Well organized bullet points.

It doesn't have any material about bacterial classification , bacteriophage , antibiotics , bacterial resistance to chemotherapy ....

It cleared my mind about bacteria and it's morphological properties & distinguishments etc. Awesome! Thank you!

This presentation is very interesting and very good structured. Congrats.

This lecture was a perfect guide for organizing my knowledge prior to reading the textbook. Thank you!

Lectures are well presented. however, this does not completely cover medical microbiolgy syllabus necessary to sit examinations for medical students

I really love his lectures!!! Profesor Racaniello is so funny and explains everything so carefully that I get so interested in every single video. Thank you!!!

Super clear lectures, covering all of the basics you need for the mcat. Speaks a little slowly, but nothing that the 1.5x button can't fix.

I'm currently taking Microbiology and Lab. It is nice to be able to catch another lecture. The Lecturio lectures are actually more informative than the classroom. I am pleased with what I have learned and I know I will get the better grade.

Everything is clearly explained and it makes it simple to learn.

Well organized. Unlike some other courses the quiz questions come after the instructor has mentioned the subject.

Never thought I would enjoy listening and learning about microbes so much that I do when Im listening to and taking notes on these lectures..

Very detailed professionally done and covers all the bases including pathogenesis and epidemiology

I enjoy watching these lectures.. it doesn't bore me as a class lecture:P

I was going to cancel my subscription as I felt the material did not relate to whats high yield for USMLE step one exam. Watching this lecture renewed my interest in the lecture series.

Excellent explanation! The graphics are great and the professor is amazing.
