What it says it offers
- It pairs on-demand video lectures with USMLE-style practice questions, so students can watch, quiz and track progress in one platform.
- Products: Step 1-Preclinical, Step 2-3-Clinical, Clinical Confidence and The OMM Series.
- Size (from its FAQ): the Step 1-Preclinical library includes 490+ videos and Step 2-3-Clinical includes 260+ videos. Question counts listed are over 2,300 for Step 1-Preclinical and over 1,300 for Step 2-3-Clinical.
- Relation to First Aid: it says it covers the same general topics as First Aid but not every one of its individual facts, and each video lists First Aid page numbers.

Who it suits
Students who prefer to learn from structured video lectures, and then reinforce with questions, often pair it with a separate QBank such as UWorld and flashcards in Anki.
