Microbiology

I love the lectures so much. I like trip on steroids I never have consumed lol. However. I think it would be great if they had the ten second mark or arrow so that it would rewind or fast forward the lecture. It’d Save time just like you tube videos and stuff. Thank you kindly

Great but insufficient. The second part has no subtitles for foreign speakers

A calm and organized lecture made in a way that is easy to recollect with the start and end saying what we are going to learn and what we have learned.

Faltan aspectos microbiologicos como factores de virulencia y patogenia, pruebas de laboratorio, y enfermedades que produce.

The professor's way of teaching precisely saying his clear and neat approach to the lectures is what makes them great.

Thank you, this is helping me so much. I love these videos.

The Pro. ist amazing and has a very clear way to introduce concepts The informations lack any medical relevance, they are directed more towards biological knowledge Please, try to be more oriented towards medicine, Sings and symptoms are needed

Not a great virus review course for Usmle step one students

well most know that shigella destroys gis mucosa...but the pathophysiology is now clear...thanx lecturio

It is very audible, good sound system, analysed with pictures and really more defined

This set of lectures on Staph were very generalized and did not cover the other Staph bacteria commonly seen on STEP 1 (i.e. saprophyticus and epidermidis). This seems to be a common theme of not going deep enough to cover material necessary for STEP, yet advertising that you all cover enough material for STEP 1.

The material taught seemed to comprise of only 10% of what we need to know for USMLE. Various bacteria ranging from gram positive cocci all the way to mycobacteria were all missing. And even with the bacteria taught ( streptococci, staphyloccci , vibrio , e.coli , shigella, salmonella) lacked a tremendous amount of depth. Very disappointing that I paid for this. Hoping virology lectures will be better.

nothing could be better, I liked your way and simplicity with fully clear explanations.

clear helpful illustrations. although history took much time, but I liked the way you went through it, your slides also were simple, not crowded and well organized.

it's very clear course with direct points and simple explanations.Also the notes and slides are well done.

It tells the information is not really close to the USMLE questions.

Simple and easy to understand, he really likes the subject. I wish the videos were longer with more information. Maybe an advance lecture? Thank you!

Mr Racaniello explained viral genetics very well in this course, however clinical diseases (measles, mumps, hepatitis viruses, etc) were not mentioned. Most importantly, HIV was not discussed.

Mr Racaniello presents all of the material very well and I believe that he is an excellent lecturer. However, there are many important types of bacteria missing from this course. Pseudomonas, Treponema Pallidum, zoonoses, Clostridium, Tetanus, Helicobacter Pylori, Neisseria, Bordetella, etc. USMLEs step 1 go into great detail regarding many of these bacteria that were omitted from this course.

So many sub topics are missing. Please add new lectures to cover those topics. Bacteriology portion is incomplete

yes, very good! Very rethorical and good lecture. I love lecturio

Nice one, well described, nice talker, I enjoyed a lot. Keep it up!

Me encanta, todo bien conciso, de manera muy explicada y digerible de combrender

not detailed and for a introductory vedio should be more explanatory

very nice and efficient lectures, you have to write some notes to your book from this lectures!

I think that this course is a incredible tool for medical students. I belive that it's important the Microbiology for doctors and it's great that we have access at it's information

I would love to give a higher rating but many important pathogens are not covered

So, during my first two years, I thought this course was a little on the light side, and it feels a bit as if the instructor is more stating facts rather than explaining and linking ideas. I know they tend to keep the videos short, but I think this course could have benefitted from more time, from a learning the material stand point. As a video series for learning, you might be left wanting with just over an hour per subject. As a learning source, 3 out of 5. So, now on to why you should really give this guy a watch. I was looking for a quick microbiology review during my dedicated study. I had watched sketchy, and read the textbooks, but wanted a quick, solid review series to watch during lunch and dinner during my dedicated, something a little bit more to the point than sketchy. This lecture series is the holy grail of high yield review that is exactly what any student looking for a great microbiology source to watch during their dedicated study. It is short, to the point, and highlights what you need to get most of those micro questions right on UWORLD and has the images in the slides that you need to be able to recognize. High yield review source, 5 out of 5. So, overall, I would give this series a 4 out of 5. If your a first or second year, this might not be the best choice for microbiology, however as a high yield review I would rank these microbiology videos second to none.

5/5 because of the simplified explanation of the human microbiome. I like the approach used because it sets the stage for acquiring important high yield information later into the subject.

Great lecturer. Keeps the lecture interesting and easy to remember. Wish I had him as my professor.

I liked the course. informative, easy to follow, to understand and to memorize, However, I have noticed that many topics/ microbes have not been addressed (TB, N.Gonorrhea, T. Pallidum, Leprosy, Mycoplasma, clostridium ....... ). Although those might be touched in other topics such infectious diseases, but they should be highlighted in a microbiology course. Would recommend the entire Lecturio to my daughter who just started her first year of medical school. Microbiology is supposed to be studied during her 2nd year though

Great course! Check the MCAT: Microbiology Course for the pre-cursors of these USMLE Step 1 lectures (overview of gram staining, cell wall structure, etc).

that was a simple and accurate description i liked it very much

This course was informative and professional. I look forward to learning more!

Very calming, understandable, and professor knows what information is right to share

great presentation and eloquence. the lectures are well done and easy to understand. great information, and would highly recommend it.

Assalam-o-Alikum! Sir your lectures are very informative and its my humble request kindly give us access to download these lectures because lots of time taken by lecture due to internet problem plz try to understand and give us access of downloading

A very good lecturer of Microbiology. Thank you and I am looking forward in learning more.

i feel that u r teaching better than other professors we as a student understanding better micro as step by step

I liked how strep was broken down between group A and group B but the video didn't mention the different types of strep in each group ie s. pyogenes. The quiz asked about catalases but didn't mention it in the video.

things made quite easy with interactive lectures and slides and tables

By my opinion, very interesting and informative lectures. Thank you very much!

I'm a foreign medial MD internal medicine specialist and I came to us I just felt lost but when I find this tools my life just changed! I already suggest This to other physicians here in USA. I hope I can pass all the usmle steps I will let you know guys!

short and sweet concepts. nice tables. easy to understand. thank you.

I like it because it is really going to be perfect for my learning and I liked everything from it! It was really great taught by the Educator.

This guy is fantastic lecturer and the best on this platform, knows the subject matter, knows how to capture your attention throughout and also has a way of going over everything in a short summary. However, I would have appreciated if he becomes more test oriented. Thank you.

A very difficult topic which is highly volatile to forget, but lecture does his best to keep us informed

Like it very much. Will like it more if you can add more bacterias and viruses on the course!!!

Very good presentations, accurate and to the point lectures. Love to study with you!!!

The professor makes the subject matter interesting and understandable for the layperson.

Hello! I have not finished all the course so I can not give you a proper feedback. but so far I really liked it and it has been quite useful. Thanks.

Lectures very good. But i wish you had some themes like giardiasis, amebiasis and others.

very bad .. they dont have mycobacterium.. dont purchase the subscription .. these people have fooled us. they dont have anything on mycobacterium tuberculosis

I love how all these complicated defenitions and ininformation is explained in such a pedagogical way. Many thanks!

the explanation is very clear, the scientific names are pronounced very well and the illustrations are standing out.

very well explain and illustrate! The information match perfectly the pictures and the speed of the expositor is flawless.

Thank you very MUCH. I learned a lot. He presents the lectures in a very understandable way. I appreciate him a lot. I became so excited while listening to his presentation. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. God bless you.

MBBS student cant get benefit from this lecture. The clear concept needed for a future Doctor about Microbiology.

It's really helping me getting the basic understanding. And the tips for surviving medical school is worth to try.

he talks very clearly, coherent, easy to follow, i read only the free sections was so nice and clear.

Lectures are good but not enough information. How about genetic replication, metabolism, ....? MISSING!

I really enjoyed learning something that I wouldn't have enjoyed otherwise. Thanks a lot for such a great lecturer.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the videos. Also by listening to these lectures, my uni lectures are making sense to me now. Thank you so much Dr Vincent. You have made my life so much easier now.

Sometimes the lecturer reads some information without explaining what is meant by it. If you can improve that I would be glad.

The lectures are well organised and gives you a basic understanding of viruses and how different types of viruses replicates in the host cell but it doesn't talk about the individual viruses, pathogenesis and the diseases caused by the individual viruses.

Doctor Racaniello gives us great explanations about the different topics of bacterial biology. One of the things that I appreciate the most from his lectures, is the appropiate speed and use of clear language which facilitates the understanding for foreign students such as myself.

Amazing stuff but doesnt differ the exotoxins into the four forms of them.

I liked the lecture it gave me a brief idea of the concept

I think each lecture is great, but the contents are not enough for USMLE. More precisely, the contents of general principle parts are helpful, but those of detailed exposition parts should be improved to contain more information. For example, You need to provide us for more details about many types of bacteria. The number of kinds of bacteria addressed in this course is small. It's far from enough for USMLE step 1. The same same goes for viruses. The others are favorable.

Great teacher !! I was amazed with your way of teaching.. You made one of the most hard subjects look so easy thank you

i rate this to support u and encourage u too go ahead fabelous job thnx

First time I get to understand the various confusing genomes. wonderful

very brief and only touches the superficial parts of ssDNA genomes

I love his courses! Really interesting and informative! Thank you for this awesome lecture.

I really like the detailed lectures and how they break it down so it can be understood easily.

the lecturer is very good in lecturing, i understand very well morethan in the class hall

Estudié medicina hace muchos años y las cosas han cambiado enormemente desde entonces. La aproximación a la clínica se me hace cada vez más difícil sin una vuelta a las bases y en eso el Dr. Racaniello ha sido extraordinariamente clasificador.

Very up to date information about prions. Professor Racaniello makes every lecture interesting.

Thank you so much It was really useful and helpful

Very precise and concise, highly recommended to all my friends and colleagues

i will recommend this lecture on this topic because i was failling to undestand but after this tutorial i am confident

I had no background in microbiology and this lecture helped me a lot with closing the gap. Thank you

Very passionate lectures. I learned a lot about the basics of virus

He is very passionate lecturer. His lecture is very engaging and interesting. Thanks for your lecture

The course is not sufficient in clinical settings. Very theory into research , yet less in diagnosing . Good for a student into research PhD, yet not for students doing medical degree or USMLE.

Dr Racaniello, is good. Easy to understand, good content. This course is hitting all topics in my med school course.

A like this course and lecterio helps me for understanding the concept of this course easily. Really lecturio is place where medical student gets his needed resources. So thanks and keep going that great work for medical

Very well done job. Dr. Vincent is excellent. If someone does not have a better understanding of basic and clinical microbiology is not his fault. He has done all his best to facilitate the concepts in a very clear manner so that everyone can understand. Good job Dr. Vincent.

Dr. Vincent Racantello is a wonderful facilitator. His teaching is very connected to the concepts of the topics. His explanations are very clear. He even takes time to recap when it is necessary so that the learner can stay on right task. I wish I had more available time to invest in his teaching. He really inspires me to push myself a little bit more. Thanks again

Dr. Racaniello is a very good professor. He takes all his time to ensure that his students understand the concepts of the topics. All his feedbacks and examples are very relevant.

He is a very good lecturer and great facilitator of microbiology.

He is a great professor. He takes all his time to explain the topics.

That's so great! The lecture is so simple to understand. Thanks PhD!

I'd like if you add a specific explanation about the main types of viruses and diseases caused by them like you did with fungi, parassites and bacteria

great and well made, I'd like if you add some quiz even in this section!

Very well made, all the important thinghs to say are dealt.

Great but I'd like more type of bacteria and how to treat them

Perfect, easy to follow and understand. I would be appreciated if there are more topics about treatment.

The clarity of the information being delivered is extremely satisfactory! I enjoyed watching this lecture.

Very effective. All money spent is worth it. Highly recommended.

Lecture was well organized and covered the appropriate level for this topic.

Very good teacher! Funny! Great job. I can spend all they long listening to him.

I like too much,plz make more high yelid questions with each topics,i appreciate it.

I would like to recommend all the USMLE and other medical exam preparing candidates to go through the Lecturio because the lectures are concise and easy to understand.

This lectures goes through the important prion diseases. It focuses a lot on statistics making the lecture a littler longer that needed. Overall a good lecture if you're not too busy in your studying

This lecture was very organized by introduction and then going into detail with the most important fungi. Made it easy to approach and easy to jump back and forward in lecture if you had a part you wanted to see again

Videos were superb able to knw the concept very well.please upload more videos of individual parasites bacteria & fungus

Very good course!!

It was very informational , I mean too much statistics about the history. Its really good for a class. But its bit TIME CONSUMING for some one running against time. One should be able to to hit guess the key points for revision. Im sorry, but this is my honest opinion.

covers everything essential, good overview, easy to follow, relevant info

Professor Racaniello is engaging. He really has made the study of microbiology enjoyable. This is the best Lecturio course I've taken to date. He has captured my interest. I'm looking forward to the more advanced microbiology course that I'll be taking in a couple of weeks. I would also love to see a Lecturio course on the microbiome, which I feel deserves a program of its own. This alone could be a 12 hour course.

It doesn't have any material about bacterial classification , bacteriophage , antibiotics , bacterial resistance to chemotherapy ....

It cleared my mind about bacteria and it's morphological properties & distinguishments etc. Awesome! Thank you!

Lectures are well presented. however, this does not completely cover medical microbiolgy syllabus necessary to sit examinations for medical students

I really love his lectures!!! Profesor Racaniello is so funny and explains everything so carefully that I get so interested in every single video. Thank you!!!

Super clear lectures, covering all of the basics you need for the mcat. Speaks a little slowly, but nothing that the 1.5x button can't fix.

I'm currently taking Microbiology and Lab. It is nice to be able to catch another lecture. The Lecturio lectures are actually more informative than the classroom. I am pleased with what I have learned and I know I will get the better grade.

Everything is clearly explained and it makes it simple to learn.

Well organized. Unlike some other courses the quiz questions come after the instructor has mentioned the subject.

Never thought I would enjoy listening and learning about microbes so much that I do when Im listening to and taking notes on these lectures..

Very detailed professionally done and covers all the bases including pathogenesis and epidemiology

I enjoy watching these lectures.. it doesn't bore me as a class lecture:P

I was going to cancel my subscription as I felt the material did not relate to whats high yield for USMLE step one exam. Watching this lecture renewed my interest in the lecture series.

Excellent explanation! The graphics are great and the professor is amazing.
