8. Dr Najeeb Lectures 

While all medical students generally take the
same courses for their education,
unfortunately many don’t receive the quality of
education they deserve and lack basic
foundations. Many students fall for review
courses that promise quick results for
excellent test scores, but we believe you
cannot review what you never knew!
The amount of knowledge needed to practice
medicine is extensive. Even if you are
somehow able to memorize it all, in the end
it’s not valuable if you lack proper
foundations. Dr. Najeeb has been teaching
medical sciences for over 22 years and has
helped thousands of students gain the
foundation of medical knowledge they need to
perform well on exams as well as in their
careers. He believes, "Learning without
understanding can be a torture but with clear
concepts it becomes fun and pleasure".
Through his online medical classes, Dr. Najeeb
teaches all the basic medical science courses
like gross anatomy, embryology, histology,
neuroscience, biochemistry, physiology,
pharmacology, pathology, immunology and
microbiology.
