Year 2 - Spring Semester: Microbes and 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Clinical anecdotes are a great supplement to an already helpful lecture

It important lectures and I am very happy to be here

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. informative and detailed whilst also being concise

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

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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+++

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

not detailed and for a introductory vedio should be more explanatory

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.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Good lecture on inflamation of mucosa over middle ear cleft

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I liked the clarity with which the topic was dealt with

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.
