Why do our MCQ Self Directed Learning course?

Dr Salma Merritt tells you why:  "Biggest thing that I really felt before signing up for the course was [feeling] completely lost. I felt, not knowing where to start and how to accomplish it. Being a doctor and working in a different country is very different that preparing for AMC MCQ exam. There are so many resources out there and just as much, if not more of misinformation as well. I feel HEAL's AMC MCQ prep course really streamlines all the content from an exam point of view and how it is related to Medical practice in Australia. It really helps you get focused, save time and be efficient in your AMC MCQ prep. Aside from the content, I really appreciate HEAL's staff and how supportive you all have been through out, makes me feel confident that I have reliable and knowledgeable support network right in Australia instead of relying on any overseas questionable resources. Get focused, reach out and accomplish goals, that's what i feel HEAL can help with. Thank you so much! Dr Salma Merritt (California)
