Online Medicine Interview Course

Beyond Comparison
I have tried other courses which are very famous and highly rated in the market. None of them can be compared to the MSAG. The course provides a comprehensive and immersive learning experience. The information is presented in a clear and such a concise manner in way my revision was very structured and could easily identify which topics I need to put more effort in. The Videos are a + too. To the point, no waffle.

Interview Course review
It was helpful. Especially considering that it was free. The main problem was that when they were making a new point in the videos there was a loud bell-like sound. Which got repetetive and annoying quite quikly. That being said it was a worthwhile product as there was good content and tips.
