Phase I - Didactic: Year 1 - Summer Semester: Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

I like the series presented by Dr. Fisher. I love his explanation because it help stick material better when you understand why are we doing certain steps. Thank you Dr. Fisher.

Dr. Fisher is very clear on the lectures, this topics are relevant for the med student and are well explored here.

Good video, for a important topic. Dr. Fisher has a lot of information to share and its a pleasure to see him explaining so well.

Nice and brief explanation of what confidence intervals are. Also the different tests are explained well.

Interesting data that I din't knew despite reading a lot of endocarditis from other sources.

Good explanations with examples to help facilitate understanding. The presenter simplified some very complex measures.

It is very easy to understand and keep up with the concepts

Very informative. Helpful in provding explaination I can reuse when describing why influenza is harmful to the lungs

This is a great lecture presented by a great speaker!

Very targeted and practical presentation and UpToDate thanks for that fantastic talk

It was really informative and precise,i loved the lectures

This is really nice lectures and method of teaching by Dr. Raywat.

Being an internal medicine specialist I would like to get the update in all relevant topics

very good revision,VERY GOOD ILLUSTRATIONS I LIKED IT ,I WAS VERY HAPPY

To the point and bringing great clarity, well done Dr Deonandan

The content is concise, straightforward and video time is short. However, using a pointer would be helpful. Overall excellent

The doctor is very clear in his explanations and makes learning more easier.

I really like it ?? Dr.Raywat very professional make it easy and very understandable

A simple concept expained in a simple manner, without complicating it too much

Plz add some differentials for orogrnital ulcer. Overall lecture quality was excellent

You really need to do something about the distracting mouth sounds.

You really are an excellent professor Sir. I like how in these videos I can't really hear the extra mouth sounds like in the other videos!

I have been following these lectures and this man really needs to drink some water because the mouth sounds are extremely distracting. I am suffering through these lectures because medical school is actually worse and taught on ZOOM and my medical school doesn't seem to believe in actually teaching, but this guy's extra mouth sounds are absolutely dreadful. All he needs to do is lower the mic from out of his mouth to eliminate the extra mouth sounds. I was going to give one star, but it's not like I don't like the content, I just can't concentrate over the mouth sounds. Also speak a bit faster. I don't have all day.

Great content presented in a format that can be applied at the bedside. Thank you!

i did like it because it is clear easy to understand .

I really like it! It is easy to understand, clear and give a lot of practical info , which is extreamly important in preparation and in practical life as a physician

The only criticism I have is that my preference would be for longer and fewer videos. I know that many students today prefer the shorter format, but as someone who is older, that's not my preference. Otherwise, the teaching has been clear and concise.

Amazing profesor and great Dr with a lot of experience, really useful clinical anecdotes. His method of teaching is really great.

EBM best introduction I`ve had ever viewed. His English is clear for IMGs.

No entiendo mucho es hard to understand.......I don't know what to say ..

I like the way the material is presented and the professors overall lecture energy and outline.

Very clear, concise to understand the formulas for all usmle tests

I CONSIDER THIS LECTURE IS VERY USEFUL, BECAUSE THE LECTURER AND THE CONTENT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANKS

Infectious diseases aren’t my favorite topic to study but with Dr. Fisher I can feel my own IQ increasing and my own brain expanding. It’s such a pleasure and an honor to be taught by him. Thank you, Lecturio, for this unbelievable opportunity.

This is the best course ever; and i would like if u can add much more complex of physiopatology; but inspite of that; thank u for this videolecture; I really enjoyed

i am very pleased with this lesson! I really unterstood everything

It simply and in a nice way explained the Statistical Biases with examples.

it was simplified thus was able to understand. now will be able to manage my patient much better than before

Easy to follow without spending too much effort . Can watch videos in your downtime.

Your lectures are excellent because you have a great diction! Thanks.

The teaching was very good. I was just sad it did not include acute bronchitis. And no one talked about infectious mononucleosis. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Bien explicados los conceptos. Esquemas claros y fáciles de entender. Debiera ser un curso aplicable a muchas instituciones de salud para que se entienda mejor la actual pandemia de COVID 19.

Made epidemiology super easy. Really enjoyed studying it. Good job

Clinical anecdotes are a great supplement to an already helpful lecture

The course is very well presented and didactic. Very good slides. The presentator must talk a little bit slower.

Professor Deonandan is excellent. He teaches with clarity, profundity, and conviction. The explanations are clear and the examples help to understand the concepts. Additionally, his tone and rhythm are very adequate, making it easy to understand for those of us that English is not our native language.

It important lectures and I am very happy to be here

I have never enjoyed Research basics like discussed here. Thanks Dr Deonandan!

Very helpful! Guiding through the basic concepts and further applications. I appreciate Dr. Deonandan's efforts!

It has really been great in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Thanks to Dr Raywat Deonandan for the passionate teaching skills!

Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome

Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great

Great,GreatGreat,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great

Very through and the fact that most lectures had summaries of the previous video made it very easy to understand.

Very clarifying lecture! Professor Deonandan is pretty concise and informative.

Helped me to memorize the information from medical lessons very well. It is well illustrated. Super useful!

Thanks! I just wish I could've understood RRR, RR and ARR better in the previous lecture

very good lecturer and high yield info. interesting and learning a lot!

I love all the lectures of Dr Fisher. He seems passionate about his speciality and knows a lot! His courses are rich and enjoyable

Really well explained. informative and detailed whilst also being concise

Brilliant, helpful, calm, never understood it before, he made it very palatable thank you.

You changed my view on this course ! I actually really enjoyit now

Everything explained thoroughly , it was very easy to understand , and the lecture was informational

a very helpful and good lecture. the way of explanation is amazing

My favorite part about the lecture is the last example. Presentation and lecture is understandable however I wasn't quite sure whether i grasped it or not. That last part made me to understand the topic better. Thanks, Dr. Raywat !

These were excellent! Great practical information as well with excellent case examples.

Excellent! Very clear. I also appreciate the case scenarios he provides.

Le recomendaría este curso a mis compañeros, ya que tiene una correcta explicación de los puntos claves para el manejo de dichos pacientes y no alarga el material, además considero que ese doctor es un buen docente ya que junta lo teórico con su experiencia clínica. Logrando en mi un Aprendizaje de Alto Rendimiento

He is a great lecturer!!!!!! Keeps it interesting and concise. On of my preferred lectures

I chose this rate because this doctor is incredible and this is the first time I understand biostatistics and epidemiology. He just needs to put more examples in the videos.

Knowledgeable and thoughtful instruction. He teaches in an easy to follow manner. The material covered was well organized.

Cheers to my research question - P - Medical Students and Graduates , I - Dr. Raywat Deonandan Videos, C - other videos, O - Understanding Core Epidemiology and its concepts :) , Amazing Lectures , Thank you so much Dr.Raywat .

Hi These lectures contain the necessary main points in the epidemiologic domain which are going tp be a complementally aid in the medical field knowledge.

I really aprecciate this video because he explained the treatment and action mechanisim

Nice explanation. As lot of questions regarding calculation are asked in stats it would help if you can include questions and explainations. Like the set of questions included in cardiology by Dr Joseph Alpert has helped a lot to understand important concepts

In my student days in the 1950’s Statistics was a chore. It is only when I had some data of my own was it interesting. But it was the event of electronic calculators and later computers that got me interested again in Maths. The greater part of my professional career in Nuclear Medicine again stimulated an interest in both maths and the physical sciences. Latter, I became interested in heath effects of the radiation of populations. Especially, of interest to me was the debate, still on-going of the, ‘No Linear Threshold.’ I understand very useful from the point of view of setting regulatory standards. Useless from the point of view of predicting deaths from low level radiation. Of course, this was formulated prior to contemporary ideas of cell biology. To return to your lecture series, it is of great interest to me as to the definitions used in epidemiology. Thank you for a stimulating series

I think the material is extensive and yet concise. The by the side information very interesting.

Very succinct and clear course, easy to follow, with questions that reinforce your learning! I would love some more questions, In all honesty, but Dr. Deonandan has done a fantastic job. Thank you. Definitely Recommend!

Excellent explanation, I was able to understand the topic thoroughly. Thank you Sir.

me encantó la exposición super puntual con los datos, entendible!

Have a habit of not seeing the word not so ping another answer - I am a silly dill.Great lecturer John Fisher.

His anecdotes are amazing here. Makes the subject much more memorable.

I am an RN student, 2nd semester. This lecture is very informative. I like when it describing the opportunistic infection, the lecture provides info from the type of illness, s/s, type of diagnostic tests, and treatments.

he is reading his lecture and has long pauses which make it difficult to maintain attention

Very clear definitions and explanations. I'd watch more of Dr. Deonandan's videos.

Pretty good, but needs more information about each type of study

It was very very good......and just awesome Videos are short and precise and clinical scenario oriented

I think these lectures need to be presented in better way, other lectures are much better. Thank u anyway

Very very well explained! Epidemiology seems easier now after watching these lecture videos. Thankyou :)

The lecture material is a great review and reinforcement to previous courses in Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

it's a well prepared material and professional doctor thank you sir

An excelent teacher, an average idea of everything you should know, nice examples, i love it!

Exellent course! Helps to review material, focus on the practical things.

Epidemiology topics covered they are good not statistics not covered in the series mean median mode interquatile range standard deviation central tendency z score parametric and non parametric studies standard error of mean please cover these topics soon

It was a good lecture and very well explained....Thank you doctor..You are the best

This conference is Clear and concise, the information is really useful

Great Great review of lecterio and very useful for Study

Because is not clear what is the Intersticial cystitis. Some diference between the slides and what is talking he about

IT is a great set of classes and very useful. Thank you

Thank you Doc. You help a lot to understand and take pleasure in infections diseases. Greetings from Colombia.

I am enjoying this course thoroughly. Audio on this course is a little difficult to hear sometimes, probably due to mic placement or improper equalisation, but it's not too bad. Would be nicer if it was clearer.

The professor incorporates clinical related cases into his lectures which strengthened my clinical sense

This is a high level course, im really happy to have seen this.

What an excellent lecture! I have not seen a comparison of pharyngitis causes shown next to each other so clearly until now. Having the images of throat presentations displayed on the same slide as the narrative goes on was very helpful. Thank you!

If I´m paying for people to read the slides, Im out of this, TBH this whole Lecturio actually is super good only for just a few doctors, like Dr. Raj, and some others, but this man... really? reading everything? I´m actually pissed off.

The teacher is a highly experienced doctor and the way he correlates the lecture with his clinical knowledge is amazing.

John Fisher es uno de los mejores expositores en la plataforma. Felicidades!!! Solo me hubiera gustado escuchar un poco mas respecto a la endocarditis por S. Viridans

Like it very much. Easy to understand, complete and concrete.

Its a really nice summary of what do any doctor needs to know to be prepare in the mission of infront the pathology

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

The lecturer is great! My concepts seem to be a lot clearer. However, the answers to the quiz questions need to be displayed somewhere, as i found them quite tough.

All explained in a very comprehensive way, with good and practical examples.

great, simple straight forward. Liked the examples and the questions asked.

Dr. Deonandan is great! I found my epidemiology lectures really difficult to focus upon, but he makes it interesting. I thought his summaries were great, as well as his simple and straightforward explanations -- with examples!

The experience and knowledge that Dr Fisher has to share is invaluable for up and coming health care providers. I found it humorous and interesting; however, that in his lectures on infective endocarditis he mentioned women cardiologist as almost an anomaly. Something along the lines of... the cardiologists used to be thought of as the jet fighters of internal medicine... and... (OMG!) some of these are women now. Another lecture on the antimicrobial choice for IE he stated..."like we say...let a man buy the beer!" ....what does that mean & what does that have to do with penicillin? I grew up in the south. I've never heard this saying. Who are "we" and, why does a man have to buy beer? I like beer too.

as always, makes the lecture more interesting and simple for a course such as epidemiology

Question section does really capture the essentials of what was taught

Focuses on the highlights and omits the extraneous details. Felt as though this has helped me master HIV a bit better

Easy to understand. Shows the most importants points and has one of the most important facts to epidemiology.

Excellent lecture easy to learning ability . I would recommend this to all of Men that are sexually active .

It is a pleasure listening to such an experienced and passionate professor. Thank you! I just wish there was also a part talking about non-bacterial pathogens causing gastroenteritis (viral and parasitic in particular). Thanks again.

I'm studying for the CBIC test for Infection Control. I found it helpful in simplifying ideas. I understand the concepts much better now.

The easiest to comprehend informative explanation I have come across so far.

It was a concise and effective teaching style. i really gained a lot in such a short time. Thank you very much.

God bless u Sir .. you are a great teacher..........refklj bhacskvFX,N CXKBLAV;Wdls C

Dr Fisher has that ability that great lecturers have when lecturing. That plus proper use of multimedia results in a great lecture.

Awesome lecture and perfect explanations. It helped me a lot! Thanks

clear about the concepts and emphasizes on each and every topic.

The content was concise and complete. Helpful to those coming on board to stimulate interest in statistics

Great lecture, this Doctor is so passionate about epidemiology that makes you want to stay focus on it!

He is a good educator.voice is so clear and not too fast or too slow.Best wishes sir.

Dr Rayawat has really firm grip on this subject. He is very confident, competent and professional. His way of teaching is aso excellent. He deserves lot of appreciations.

Excelente muchas gracias me gusto pude encontrar lo que buscaba.

Thank You sir i really enjoyed your lecture. i hope to see more lectures by you.

Muy buena ponencia, totalmente recomendado, solo me hubiera gustado ver un poco mas sobre encefalitis por priones.

Lecture series was clear and concise. Well rounded introduction to Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

La información de la conferencia es muy practica y concisa , me revela nuevas cosas e inclusive me motiva a seguir investigando mas de fondo el tema. Gracias por su gran aporte Dr. John Fisher.

a lot of help a lot of help a lot of help ssssssssssssssssss

Dr Fisher is clear, succinct and his content is high yield

So easily explained :) I actually got this course after seeing how this professor explains Biostat :)

Loved the Profesor on this series. Really calm and explain very well. My only dislike are the quiz questions. The explanations for the answer were all wrong or constantly repeating the same explanation for all the questions. NEEDS to be revised.

The best explanations in epidemiology I have ever come across, both in real life and online. Thank you so much for your excellent teaching.

thanks for this short talk about this topic i understand what you say

I enjoyed his method of delivery, I understood it all, and I learned.

I usually dislike older professors, but he explains very objectively and up to date.

crystal clear concept.very helpful lecturer.His voice is also very attractive.

an easy and clear concept in brief.His speech quality is sharp.

The diagrams were helpful and I liked that he speaks calmly.

Excellent audiovisual explanation of the concepts. Really interesting stuff well understood

sometimes i don't like when he reading. it's feel like someone reading and i have to listen. i want him teach with his own words and talk without his script. anyway i thinks he summarizes very good and easy to understand.

very easy to understand - good meaningful explanations - good lecture - nice good teacher - types of study simplified and more meaningful -

simple and attractive lectures,neither complicated nor boring.There are some points to consider: 1-lack of explanation and examples about statistical tests---t-test,ANOVA,Chi-square........,Pearson correlation 2-statistical distribution and standard deviation not found 3-The quiz questions explanations need revision

I want to know, the interpretation of other lectors on this subject.

He is reading the lecture and not elaborating much. Makes pauses that makes me sleepy and he is does not make it exiting to learn.

very concise and thorough explanations, good diagrams and charts. Thank you Thank you!!!

Ok let's start. The videos are great, the audio is good and the time for each subject is good as well. The teacher Raywat Deonandan is very good at this type of teaching, i never got bored of hearing him and he teaches in a calm and funny way in my opinion. Really hope to see him in another lecture. Very good! 10/10!

Dr. Fisher is very thorough in explaining certain details but also very direct to point out important information.

I watched most of the STD lectures. They are well explained and I really appreciate that. THANK YOU

Thank you for the lecture. very good and helpful. I recommend it.

Very good lectures. The professor speaks very clearly about the subjects.

This is just another awesome series.....Great job Dr. Raywat....You just have a way of making it so simple while keeping it truly interesting....Kudos Lecturio...

Epidemiology hasn't been presented in a more simplistic yet detailed manner ever in all my learning and studying years that spans over twenty five years (undergraduate till date)...Thanks DR.RAYWAT & LECTURIO.....

Good way of learning, even better when you have a guy like Raywat. Thank you for doing this.

This was an excellent explanation of different biases including ones that are not listed in typical USMLE books. Very good supplement to my current study materials!

Good lecture on inflamation of mucosa over middle ear cleft

Clear, concise explanations, quizzes perfectly resume the essence of the lesson.

The lecture is very well planned, organized and presented. It is so simple I never thought of. Well done..

Learning epidemiology is strangely enjoyable thanks to Dr. Deonandan. Job well done sir. Onward!

Key elements were clearly identified. He kept it simple while giving most of the pertinent information a physician should know about.

I chose this 5 stars because Professor Raywat is a brilliant teacher. I like the simplicity and ease with which he explains the material and the confidence that he exudes. I would recommend this course to students that struggle with understanding the basic principles of Epidemiology

The lectures cover all aspects of each specific disease in a well-organized fashion. Concise and clear explanations .Understandable English language.Excellent lectures for basic and clinical correlations.Most of the questions are clinical vignettes which are informative too.No distractions that is no loss of concentration through the lecture.Although The big picture with comparison between the different diseases worth a separate lecture.

the clarity is priceless! To reflect clarity in a topic as mindnumbing (for some, like me) as stats, is truly an art. Kudos.

very nice explanation and helpful information, thank you for the knowledge shared here

This guy is very straight forward and clear. Very Helpful.

very clear explanations-It would be nice if there were a few more examples on how to apply PICO though

Clear explanation. Made easy to remember. I would recommend to who ever would like to learn medicine.

Really thorough lectures. Helpful pathophysiology and lots of helpful pictures. I wish every other lecture from other speakers could be like this! Thanks!

This series is good to watch before doing the same section from the Kaplan videos. Don't bank on getting detailed explanations but rather concise i.e. what you need to know!

concise, really easy to listen to. Gave salient points very well. Loved the pause for thought on the red flag of having a staph aureus urinary tract infection.

Key points were identified quickly. The reinforcement of critical thinking is great!

Very comprehensive. It helps me have a good idea in advance to my Microbiology classes

First of all, love the option to choose the speed of the video clip. Secondly, it was smartly taught, no matter which type you are, from visual to auditory-learner, you are going to understand and learn it easily. I also loved Dr. Fisher's (the lecturer) teaching style, brief description for medical terms, mentioning important DDx, plus his tone and not having specific accent.

When paying money I expect to have a more indepth lecture than you can find on youtube. He is good at explaining, but some examples should be explained better, or not brushed over quickly, as well I would suggest to make a couple more videos, that take parts as e.g. confounding and explain it in depth. All in all nice but with some a little bit lacking here and there. I love the fact that they aren't very long, that way you can focus through the whole lecture before taking a break

I liked the clarity with which the topic was dealt with

The lectures does not go in depth about each types of disease

Only addition to the pyelonephritis lecture and the use of imaging would also be if the patients symptoms have not improved following 48 to 72 hours of Abx use!

I'd would have like to know where western blots fit in the diagnostic pathway. I think in Australia after positive confirmation of p24 go on to perform westernblots. Also what about the impact the window period has and the new for follow up testing? Finally it would have been good to discuss what is considered to be as treatment failure with HAART.

Very comprehensive discussion. It would have been worthwhile to talk about criteria for starting treatment for chronic Hep B (e.g DNA count vs symptoms and livers functions). Also unclear if treatment of HepB is curative. The hepatitis talks did not mention genotypes of Hep C at all which is important for treating the condition, particularly in countries where access to direct acting antivirals is not available. Finally the talks didn't mention what percentage of patients with chronic Hep B and C go on to develop cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Good coverage but can be improved further. I would have liked to also see a talk on the parasitic causes of diarrhoe and management of those. Also not sure how we would go about dx salmonella. Wasn't very clearly stated in the lecture

Dr Fisher is my favourite lecturer so far of the internal medicine talks. The discussions are detailed and I don't feel key points are omitted. He is an old school lecture who communicates succinctly and effectively!

I really enjoyed the lectures on CNS infection, very comprehensive and knowledge delivered at a good level. I particularly loved the personal clinical reflections. I will never forget the story about the patient with bread mold infection of the face! Wow!

Absolutely my favorite lecture so far! It was really informative, yet left me craving more. The way you explained it was easy to understand (I am a pre-nursing student). Thank you and great job!

GOOD lecture, it has the most important key points. i like it very much

Excellent presentation style-- he adds a bit of drama to it, which makes the topic more engaging and memorable.

Great lectures and a great lecturer. however missing lower respiratory tract infections. Would be nice if there was some tropical infections included too

Dr Fisher is the best teacher I have ever learned from. All concepts explained very clearly, with lots of great clinical tips thrown in as well. It is a pleasure to watch his lectures.

Short and informative and clear and easy-to-digest and reconsolidation of information takes a shorter time and stays for a longer time compared to huge lectures

very interesting lecture especially with all the details about sounds and secondary signs mentioned.

I loved how he summarizes key concepts in simpler way. One video view and I understood what I lacked from med school.

It made epidemiology very easy to understand, remember and apply it to my practice. It helped me a lot in appraising available evidence and use it in making appropriate and prudent clinical decisions in taking care of my patients .

I thought it would be more thorough. Unfortunately many videos out there are just summaries and do not try to redress the problem of poor lecturing during medical shool that leaves students like me looking for a service that will give more in depth lecturing. I would have liked more explanation of concepts, e.g. P values, null hypothesis, etc.

The lecturer explains the concepts very clearly and makes them easy to understand. All that in a minimal amount of time!

The professor is going to fast, and the example are not clearly understanding.

The best epidemiology class I ever had, thank you!!!!! Very well explained and clear

Excellent just. Nothing further to say. Would definitely recommend to medical students or FMG wishing to take medical board exams.
