The Wards Series (COMING SOON) For our new Wards Series, Dr. Ryan has brought together a team of premier physicians who will share their expertise in the different specialties students will face during their clinical rotations and residencies. They provide insight into what it's like by sharing practical details about the things that aren't covered in textbooks or board exams. The Wards Series isn't about passing tests or doing well in class – it’s about the real-world application of knowledge when treating patients for the first time, as well as working as part of a team in a hospital setting. The Wards Series is ideal for:

Medical students going on clinical rotations for the first time
New graduates and IMGs getting ready for Residency
Anyone who wants to prepare for all of the things not covered in classes and on exams
