Phase 1 – Year 2 – Spring Semester: Musculoskeletal & Dermatologic

Not very good. He's just spouting out facts, sounds like he's probably reading from a teleprompter.

I consider it a ery shallow lecture, with very little info about costal attachemnts of the intercostal muscles, they don even show a sagital cut of the ribs to understand better the intercostal muscle attachemnts and origin.

Anatomy is explained best with annotated images and pointers on the various parts as the lecturer speaks. Not through tabulation of facts.

I started taking these classes beforehand since our course is only gonna start at Sept ao thought of studying something beforehand so I don't sit clueless once the classes begin. it's highly helpful and very well organized to follow even though you don't know anything about the topics .it everything from the basics in great detail and that's why I followed the lectures using the free trial.i do wish to access the rest of the lectures but since it requires payment I pulled back since I'm not currently that financially sound to make the payment since the college fee requires a lot of money.i wish I had free access to all the lectures .I've searched for good lectures online and I find lecturio the most promising online lecture class with precisely organized manner of classes and slides and even the diagram s and 3d models.hoping for more from you .at least make some more videos open to free access.a request from a beginner student.with lots of gratitude Been

Concise and informative. Clearly differentiates disorders. Important points covered without missing anything

Because it has all the information i need and am understanding easily

This teacher has a style of teaching that makes people retain facts better like the way he pats the liver to say beware of liver disease and his way of pressing certain words is certainly helping to reckon better, thank you, sir.

CT proper: mesenchyme, lax fibrillary, dense fibrillary, reticular, elastic, adipose and pigment. Supporting CT: cartilage and bone. Trophic CT: blood and lymph.

Needs to use pointer during lecture. He's telling us to look at something but he's not pointing it out.

Good pictures Understanding the way he teaches Slow and steady

manageable amount, not too long but goes into enough depth speed of speech is nice and easy to understand - not too fast

very well explained and is easy to understand, the graphics were very clear and it was synchronized with the explanation , I would definitely like to watch another lecture from Mr.Thad Wilson.

It was a great source of info I just wish it more of a deeper source rather than a sort of overview

I felt like I was sitting in the classroom with the lecturer. He taught with precision and knowledge that I can easily guess what a histologic slide is with his explanations. Very grateful for this lecture

The derm lectures have been surprisingly helpful and as always Dr Raj keeps it clear, funny, and to the point.

Made personally complicated and hard-to-take-in material very clear for me. It was very helpful with the definitions of the histological terms and summarized the skin topic very well. I am getting ready for my first histology exam and this video helped a lot!

no pathophysiology, epidemiology and risks explained explanations are shallow, very hastily spoken and with very little extra info. Not happy with this course

He is always clear in his lectures and is easy to understand him

Dr. Pickering's lectures are great. He focuses on what's important and everything is exceptionally well organized. The only thing I would add to the lectures is various mnemonics available for the upper limb.

Just AMAZING!!!! Thank you Dr Peter for making this lecture so easy. This made me understand more rather than mugging up the derivatives.

Thank u very much that was very helpful and u made it very clear.

very interesting lecture and good lecturer I have benefited really , good luck

because it more fun than going through the anatomy book

it was clear and concise easy to understand key points layed out very well

Very nice presentation of the shoulder by Dr James Pickering. Highly recommended!

I think that this lesson was very interesting and easy to understand. 5 starts out of 5.

I wish you would have gone into more detail with chickenpox. I know it might not be as common in the US but a lot of people use lecturio for other international tests and chickenpox is still a big deal here (both in clinical practice and licensing exams)

i thought the course was very in depth and easy to understand.

Very simple and easy to understand , it saved me a lot of time.

It helped me to gain knowledge in embryology.....Awesome videos N slides

Please, stop speaking in such a monotone way. It gets people bored.

i very much like how Dr James presents his work to everyone around him

Currently reviewing for my 3rd year of Medicine. Looking back even as much as osteology solidifies my knowledge in other aspects of muscle physiology and pathology. Dr. Pickering does a very good job of keeping you up to date and on pace

very clear and neat explanation. understood the material from the first replay

From my point of view, this lecture is an amazing clear presentation about angioedema . This lecture discribes in many ways and from several point of views the struggles and the look outs about this condition and illness. Also, a fresh way for (becoming) docters to make it not so difficult for them working together with the patient, with this clear and vivid diagram. It is possible to check the "boxes" together because of the clear way of putting it all out there. People could recognize the specifics of the illness.

simple and sorted. well explained and very good concept builder

Good brief overview of the knee joint but I wish the lecturer would have gone more in-depth about the menisci, and the rotational and translational movements of the knee.

similar to Upper Limb; layout & structure of course is quite good. concise & detailed. but the images & diagrams used truly do have very small labels, often making them useful. The lecturer uses the cursor here and then but thats not conducive to great learning either. you really need to be visualising these structures in a large & clear format. Another point would be to include some mnemonics! it is no secret that these are one of the most useful tools for anatomy students in remembering complex structures, so why omit them? a final criticism is that it just lacks some more clinical relevance.

speaks very clearly and has good explanations and terminology is delivered clearly

So well organized and clearly explained! The way you organize the material makes anatomy reasonable... the puzzle pieces fit.

Excellent lecture about the clavicle -- key landmarks are highlighted and the compare/contrast of superior and inferior views is extremely helpful.

Very clear lecture and excellent intro to osteology of the arm.

Straightforward and extremely well organized. I like the way he relates parts of anatomy to one another.

Very clear and concise lectures, explained well with appropriate amount of detail - nothing is left unexplained and it never feels too complicated. The diagrams used are very informative and useful as well.

because i learnt alot from it which i could not easily understand while reading

i enjoyed the explanations , especially those of the z line , m line, light & dark bands

I could not follow along very well, i did not feel very connected

Cristal clear to understand and well organized material. This lecture series help us to learn anatomy interestingly.

Helped me a TON! Great quick easy overview of the Scapular bone, and was much easier to learn and understnad throughout this video. Much better understandment than my antomy class.

I am really enjoying this, helps me understand better and it makes it possible to review after I have had a lecture at my university or even before.

It’s very good I really enjoyed this lecture.the study of way is very good

simple, understandable, comprehensive . im looking forward into details on the anatomical structures of the limbs

NICE LECTURE, short and understandable. feels like information is not enough. anyway, it's a good lecture. thank you, doctor Carlo.

very good lecturer also listen?ng at 1.25x speed works well. I recommend it.

Although a shorter one compared to the other videos, this was comprehensive and concise. I just hope they have a zoomed in/focused photo of the specific areas of the bones so it would be much clearer to identify the features.

Very thorough explanation of the important structures found in the humerus. Recommended for medical students especially those who learn visually. Thank you, Dr. Pickering.

This was a clear and organized lecture by Dr. Pickering. Much appreciated.

Dr. Pickering is clear and concise. This has been very helpful

TOP stuff ! I wish my lecturer was like that because you are amazing

this article handles the explanation for skin layers; which I find as the hardest of the topics, in a well organised and logically acceptable building. It is really interesting to read. It summarizes the topic but without the loss of any crucial information. Also, the use of well-labelled pictures and microscopic slides is a plus and catalyse the understanding. I would recommend this to my premedical colleagues.

I think he is one of the top lectures that have a particularly unique way in gaining attention. Kudos

Becoz it tell us everything about venous drainage and the language used was way much more easier than most of the recommended books and even our teachers

This lecture is easy to memorize and understand, also it has accurate and clear information.

Great explanation of lower limb from Dr.Pickering, especially muscles. That's why i like it very much.

I rate this lecture with 5 stars because just after I heard this lecture I understood the 'Brachial Plexus'. That's why I recommend it to every medical student who want to understand the 'Brachial Plexus'. Thank you very much LECTURIO

Fantastic explanation about the topic, easy way to learn anatomy.

Belabors the points quite succinctly! The approach is just the best for clinical dermatology!

i could understand what the doctor carlo raj is telling only because lecturio is providing subtitles and transcript of what he is speaking which is really helpful and very useful and i am really thankful for that to lecturio..........................

HE HAS TAKEN THE BEST EFFORT IN EXPLAINING THE TOPIC AND HAS PRESENTED IT WELL AND IN A STUDENT FRIENDLY MANNER.

Taken lot of effort to explain the details of the topic and to make us understand the difference between the two conditions: pemphigous vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid. it was a beautiful lecture.....

dr carlo raj has explained the topic very clearly and in a very point wise manner..........it was very helpful............

the lecture was easy to understand and well done. i am feeling satisfied after listening to this lecture.

the lecture was simple and easy to understand. it was a good lecture.

BECAUSE DR CARLO RAJ IS SUCCESSFUL IN MAKING ME UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC. SENTENCES HE USED WERE NOT SO COMPLICATED AND IS SOMEWHAT EASY TO UNDERSTOOD.

Hacen falta mejorar los subtítulos en español, no siempre están en el orden correcto las palabras y esto dificulta el entendimiento.

Would like to see some discussion about investigations eg patch testing

Thank you Dr. Canby for your succinct yet informative introduction to the concepts of the vertebral column. The pictures and pauses were very helpful, as I was able to follow along with the presentation. You presented the information intuitively.

very good lecture i thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning the content.

60 % of stage 4 patients develop metastasis in the brain. Why is it missing? Target-therapy with BRAFi Vermurafenib or Dabrafenib should be given in combination with MEK inhibitors. Both modern immunotherapy treatments are missing (CTLA4, PD-1). That are just the basics. Melanoma research developed fast and this video should be replaced by an updated version.

Great lecture. It is very easy to follow. Great explanation.

Dr. Pickering pointed out a few things that even my anatomy professor (who is excellent) did not. A very good lecture on the brachial plexus -- both short and detailed.

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

great explanation Few people have a talent in teaching. i think Dr Raj is one of them thank you so much

Lecturio should open their own medical school in the Caribbean and people could actually learn down there ! keep it up !

very good and informative lecture. thank you for good explanation associated with the differential diagnosis

good and simple explanation however it would be more useful if there are examples for each lesion

very nice way of dissecting and thoroughly going over each HY nerve, much appreciated!

video was simple and fast, and well articulated. Much appreciated

Solid review and helpful information in regards to histology. The slides are helpful

thanks for cutting down into smaller bits.he is a bit fast though.thank you

I really liked this course because the doctor repeated the most relevant information and was very professional and patient.

I found this lecture to be clear, concise and suitable as a complement to lectures, textbook and cadaver work. Could you make the diagrams and their labels a bit larger, as they are difficult to see on smartphone, and there is no zoom facility.

Excellent clear lecturer. Quality teaching, with enough slides to supplement.

I really thankful w/ the doctor and his course. If you're really strugling with this topic, believe with those videos you'll understand everything.

He really took his time to explain and taught in ways we can remember

Muy interesante el tema, y muy bien explicado, lo entendí mucho mejor que los libros, gracias.

Engaging presenter. Love the reinforcements of what is important to remember. Love that he includes DD and why those other DD can be ruled out. His lecture will stick.

lecture should be more simplify as it is many times difficult to understand .

Definitely benefitted from the lectures. Just a small note, even when putting the video on HD and full screen, the writing is too small and blurry to see the labelled parts of various anatomical structures. Hope the resolution can be increased or labels increased in size.

James used very small images that were of limited value and simply read what was on his slides which had very scant detail. No further elaboration or clinical relevance accompanied his explanations. I have gone to another resource for anatomy as I found my understanding was not stronger after having listened to his lectures.

I really lime the way of presentation and the quick test after that, because that challenge me to really pay attention to the lectures, but only one concern is about tha fast speaking, as a foreign is sometime a little difficult for me to get everything a one, because l need to replay the video, but for the rest, amazing work guys!!

explained very well and clear in short time. got all i need to know

They are really great videos. I wish questions would be more like USMLE or NBME questions.

made anatomy easy and fun! after watching this video all i need is my atlas of human anatomy, i use the app by the way, and am all set for anatomy!

Dr. Raj does a stellar job of explaining not only the disease but then giving great visualizations of what that patient will look like when they present for treatment. He is also great about pausing for a moment to let important information sink in. His pictures were very helpful as well as I am a very visual learner.

The content is good although it requires some more information to be incorporated in lectures the knowledge and reputation of lecturer is excellent and he is highly fluent in his delivery of the content thanks a lot for this

Love this guy! Easy to listen to. Puts emphasis on important points. And occasionally says something surprisingly funny. "Rubber Baby Bumper Buggies" lol

It was very nice lecture as i get a new informations which could be difficult to figure it out by reading textbook only. Thank you very much

well said, easy to understand, could take some notes, clarity of subjects, for medical students

Great for reviewing anatomy for your orthopedic rotation when you don't have time for textbooks. Very detailed.

Very well explained. But it could have some clinic relevance.

PERFECT!!! the lectures are very interesting and on point explains what i need to know.

i like the explanation pattern, thankyou so much. its of great value to a med student

I'm done with the course, I like how dr. Raj explains high yield subjects and emphasizes on important things. I'm going through the Rheumatology course right now and and i like it even more he is more relaxed and more sympathetic there. However, there is still room for improvement, my advice for everyone, is to print out the lectures write what ever notes you want on them, AND CHECK THE ARTICLES! I'm amazed how well summarized and useful they are, you can always check them out from your smartphone, laptop even download them if you want and add your own notes. If you don't want so, then look for a clinical book (I personally recommend Davidson's ). If you still need to know more about dermatology I would recommend you to see the pediatric lectures on dermatology or Infectious lectures, just search for them here on the platform. Last thing, repetition is important go throughout the course speed up the lectures more than once.

i think there should be more information about impetigo regarding types(bollous, non bollous) and ddx . regarding ssss pictures and pathology should be added will be more helpful

i choose to rate this lecture, because it is well explain. additionally, he outlines the main things that i should remember which is very helpful

This is by far the best histology lecture there is online. love the way make it so easy to comprehend and the Q&A Are amazing

Dr speaked more fast and didnt explain completely that we want

it's clear and simple, i like dr. raj so far.but there are other lesions that should be covered ( mainly secondary) and pictures should be added, it's a a dermatology course if we don't see we won't understand. i would suggest to add those things in the articles (which are amazing btw) if you want to keep the video simple

I love the eminent Dr Carlo Raj. Very keen to get across the knowledge into all thick skulls.

excellent, comprehensive, detailed and very focused dermatology lecture on high yield and clinically relevant material

Excellent summary for any medical student in their Dermatology practice.

It is a well detailed and it suited my course. It is interesting as well

Love it very informative, I will follow it as much as I can

It's a good professor, but there should be a "live" skeleton that he uses instead of just the PowerPoint.

now my act is as MD dermatologist really i feel very confidence after hearing his lectures i wanna say thank you so much

I don't think he's robotic at all. The way he talks keeps me engaged, better than most monotone professors I have in med school Excellent explanations. He is very articulate and knows how to tie facts together and emphasises on the key facts so you at least leave the video knowing what Atopic Dermatitis is about

Very clear, hits high-yield points, somewhat entertaining too. Very passionate lecturer.

I really enjoyed his lectures. He is very clear at high-yield points. His passion and sense of humor make the lectures very enjoyable and entertaining. Thank you, Dr. Raj.

Very conscise and get to the point at each topic/secsion/

Best supplement for my med school anatomy lab. Easy to follow and thorough.

professor lectures factual information relevant to epithelium in a simplified way

Fantastic! It’s like you’ve melted the fear away for me! I can watch over and over and over until I can nearly repeat it word for word. Sometimes when you study you can know something but in a multiple choice question (MCQ) situation later you can be stumped - while I found the sentences are in my head and it’s like being able to check the lecture! Repetition is the best way to learn! You couldn’t ask a class lecturer to keep going over stuff but with your amazing classes you can!! Thanks !!! Telling all my classmates about your article.

I liked this course very much. it helped me a lot. thank you very much doctor James.

I think this is a great app! Just wondering if this app/info applies to the Family Nurse Practitioner board exam as well? Thanks much! Stephanie K

The presentation and speaking is very clear which is good, this has helped me and made medical school easier so far

Great overview. Wish that dermatology covered more topics, though. I enjoyed this overall. I like the transcript section. It allows me to review the material and read the speakers words verbatim. This is wonderful for all types of learning.

I learn better by listening and visualizing. So these lecturio lecture videos helps me a lot. Reading the text book after watching these is way better than trying to learn from the textbook alone. Also these video lectures aren't boring. they are very interesting. If someone is struggling to learn anatomy on their own, then I'd really recommend this for them.

wow! he gives detailed explanations with the pictures. hes doing an excellent job

This playlist was named: Musculoskeletal, Skin, and Connective Tissue—Pathology. But only skin pathology is covered, there are no musculoskeletal and connective tissue pathology videos... and they can't be found elswhere either.

Thank you very much for this course. It helped me understand the anatomy of the upper limb very well.

I certainly liked the video format, where we can adjust the focus from the speaker to the slide, and use the cursor to aid in pinpointing the relevant aspects of the scapula. The only thing I found was missing was a little aside about the suprascapular notch, which was shown in the slide, but not alluded to in the actual video lecture!

I love how he directly emphasizes main points with repetition and gives details of differentials. He is very direct and to the point, no wasted time.

easy to understand.... superb mcqs awesome lecture videos which helps to understand the concept better..

I really enjoy each and every anatomy lecture by Dr James Pickering.......I am actually preparing for NEET PG EXAM IN INDIA...................ITS REALLY HELPING ME TO LEARN IMPORTANT POINTS in ANATOMY which also come for NEET PG INDIA...............THANK U Dr James Pickering........thank u LECTURIO............

terrible lecturing anatomy is dry enough and you don't need a dry lecturere

Very Unclear Connection between lecturer and the diagrams the pictures are unclear the teacher seems reading from the book ... can't focus on what he says

5 star lecturer! I enjoy every moment watching the videos. All med students should subscribe this app!

Best lecture ever, I never thought I'd be able to understand brachial plexus

Well Dr Pickering has presented the subject in such a lucid and organised manner that it becomes impossible not to fall in love with it and become dexterous in it at the same time. It was a wonderful experience with the upper limb. Hope I have the same fun with the lower limb!

rating is 5, interesting and self directing through adverts on the you-tube pages

The video quality is quite good and I like the way the topic is presented. I would definitely recommend this to my friends in medical school. I guess the font could be larger and thicker though.

I like it very much, He focused in all the important topics, and presented it very excellently, I recommend this app for all my friends.

Dermatology course challenge is that either everything looks like either dermatitis or lupus. Dr. Raj delivers the course in a concise and straight forward manner. I had no problem with his diction and/or pronunciation. Also, his interactive way of asking in every video, helps you maintain a sort of active learning during the passive learning of hearing the lecture. All doubts clarified.

The lecture was a little hard to follow. The speaker seems a little nervous.

Clear and concise with clinical correlations of the major structures.

a difficult topic made easy and clear - well done (this is just fillers to reach minimum word count needed to post review)

Great lecture! Very detailed and I understood it with ease. I'm looking forward to the other lectures.

Absolutely lovely and visual. The lecturer was very precise and it helped me enjoy the lecture

Difficult to understand. Annoying accent. Difficult to concentrate on the lecture due to his presentation style.

i dont like it. in the ad, it was free, now im told to suscribe

Interesting but a little light on my point of view. I am a resident working in France to become an emergency doctor and honestly i would have enjoy to have a differential diagnosis guide between erysipelas and DVT for instance or other similar looking skin disorders. Often receiving elderly patients at emergency, it is sometimes hard do make a difference (clinically i mean) between erysipelas and "ocre dermite" also called purpuric angiodermatitis, part of post thrombotic syndrome. What about the "portal of entry" in erysipelas we have to look for? what about the difference in aspect between cellulitis and erysipelas, one having more delimited and visible border than the other? Anyway thank you for this lecture :)

Though I wouldn't want to hurt the instructors feelings, I think the concepts are all included, but his ability to convey the information in a coherent, and appealing matter are lacking. Anyone can just read you the concept and put slide after slide, but there is a finesse to the presentation of material. If every lecturer could have that finesse, this would be the most incredible resource for medical students around the world.

Very helpful, concise, and overall great lectures!! I'm excited to complete other courses!

Great lecturer! Covers the topic without becoming bogged down in the details.

Good lecture. The talking is very smooth and continuous not robotic like it sometimes tends to be the case with Dr.Raj. Excellent! Good explanation of the terms and the difference between atopic and contact dermatitis! Some more elaboration on treatment options, including non-pharmacologic and the role of allergen testing (should you do it or not?) would be a good addition.

I like his explanation and also him demonstrating techniques or anatomic locations on his own body, however the diction feels very unnatural. This is in all the videos. Can that be improved? It becomes grating to listen to over time and speeding up the video doesn`t do much to improve it.

In my opinion, this course on muscles is good for a review of the most important points of the topic. I couldn't find the striated muscle lecture, there are only smooth muscle lectures here. I think a little bit of more detail could make this course perfect!

Easy to understand. I recommend adding more information regarding medication such as what kind of systemic seroid we are using.

Fantastic talk but would have liked further information on non-pharmacological treatment and also the role of allergen testing

I find one of the challenging aspects of dermatology is to keep in the various ddx for "similar" looking presentation. The way these lectures are set out has been very useful to have a few ddx to think about when facing a pt with a rash!

Great talk I would have liked to hear further discussion on the use preventative strategies, duration of treatment for tetracyclines and retininoids as well as mention of OCP in females.

Lectures on Anatomy of the Heart was more concise, very comphrensible and corresponded with Last Anatomy textbook. Upper Limb Lectures wasn't as concise as Lectures on The Thorax( Heart). But I am very grateful to Lecturio for making my learning more simplified....

It says the essential about the bones structure and function with understandable explanation and examples

I liked this video much better than the last. :) Maybe it's because he starts to feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

I agree with the above review. As knowledgable and nice as he may be, the flow isn't there. It's very robotic.

Very good way of teaching and explanation is clear to the key points, thank you Dr.Carlo Raj!

I liked the lectures very much . The in-depth classification of bones,muscles and associated systems surely was great. The clarity in voice and imaging helped me understand a great deal on appendicular skeleton . And i also scored great marks in the tests conducted on the topic anatomy of upper limbs at the university. Surely lecturio is the best choice for all medical U.G students. Thank you lecturio for your marvellous services.

To the point and repetitive, which helps a lot with making sense of confusing differentials.

Enjoy the multimedia approach. Being able to hear and see the information at the same time helps me to learn better.

It is very important to have a better diction and prosody

Oh my God !It was mind blowing and succinct.I do have hope I be guided to achieve the best USMLE score Sincerely, Alamie-Omu

I like his way to explain. He did not mention if these are 1ry or 2ry lesion. There is no pic.

I liked the vídeos becase they are like a quick view of a topic, the general stuff and really important. I would like more photos, maybe clínica cases to practice and not to be so general in the treatment

Good lectures with overall easy-to-understand structure The images on the slides are very good, better than in most atlases I just wish we could have the tables (muscle insertions, origins, nerve supply) as a PDF or something

i would say the most useful and amazing anatomy lecture in the world !! great gob and i wish if you cover the lower limp nerve injury !! thank you

Said by a old MD (58) you can count on it Dr Raj has the gift, the talent to focus on what really matters but most of all after many years it was the first time that I was amazed by specific tips I never took in consideration . Thanks Dr Raj thanks Lecturio I shall die less ignorant

This course was really good to understand with my knowledge of upper limb of arm.

Well explained I really enjoyed it especially the nerve lesion part. Thanks, Dr. James

Excellent intro to lower limb anatomy - covering only the need to knows. Helpful for exam revision.

Totally well illustrationer and clearly describing. The modules are more helpy than pics. Regards Najm

It was clear and amazingly explained But i would like to ask if you can add exams Or quizes with more questions Thanks for the hard effort

I think this is one of the best courses to review any topic in medicine, they have the best teachers, the best topics and the best explanations! it is like being in the best university of the whole world!. I do not want to stop studying;-)
