Built by US residents who remember exactly how hard Step 1 was.
We're a small team of US-based residents and physicians who built the resource we wish we'd had — a structured, question-first system that breaks down every UWorld MCQ the way it actually needs to be understood.
Our Story
UWorld alone isn't enough. We'd been there.
When Dr. Aman Shah was preparing for Step 1, he realized that reading UWorld explanations alone wasn't closing the gap. He needed someone to walk through the logic — question by question, concept by concept.
What started as walkthroughs for a small peer group grew into a full library covering every system, every high-yield pattern, and every distractor trap that appears on the real exam.
The Instructors
Taught by US residents who've been exactly where you are.
Every instructor scored in the top percentile and is currently in residency — they remember what it felt like to sit that exam.
Johns Hopkins Hospital · Internal Medicine
Dr. Aman Shah, MD
Step 1: 266Cardiology-bound IM resident. Known for breaking high-yield pharm into clean decision trees students actually retain.
Mass General · Pediatrics
Dr. Rachel Bennett, MD
Step 1: 261Peds resident with a research background in microbiology. Her infectious disease walkthroughs are the team's most-watched chapters.
UCLA Medical Center · Neurology
Dr. Marcus Carter, MD
Step 1: 270Neurology resident and former tutor at his alma mater. Teaches neuro and behavioral as if they're one connected story — because they are.
By the numbers
Our students don't just finish the course. They score.
Verified impact: Average NBME score improvement of +18 points across our last 312 cohort students who completed the full program.
Student Results
Real students. Real score changes.
These are unedited accounts from students who completed the program.
I'd done UWorld twice before finding NextGen. The walkthroughs forced me to actually understand why every distractor was wrong — that's what closed the gap between knowing the topic and getting the question right on test day.
Dedicated felt like drinking from a firehose until I switched. Having a resident walk me through 30 MCQs a day in the same structure as my QBank reps is what finally made the patterns click.
