Testimonial: Abbas Naqvi, 4th year medical student

Abbas Naqvi“I’m a current 4th year medical student going into Orthopaedic Surgery. In preparation for residency, I began collecting various resources that I thought may aid my surgical education when I came across the Journal of Medical Insight. JoMI is, by far, one of the most amazing resources I’ve come across and I regret not discovering it earlier in my medical education. High definition video, consistent quality, a structured approach focused on teaching, and procedural outlines all make the platform extremely conducive to those in surgical training as well as medical students alike.”
