Learn. Practice. Build.

I build free tools and resources for people finding their way into medicine.

Most of it started as something I wished existed.

Atlas MCAT Course

A free course organized as a conceptual progression: physical principles into chemistry, chemistry into biology, biology into behavior. Each lesson covers the logic, trends, and pitfalls; the details you do have to memorize live in the Atlas flashcard deck.

  • Physical foundationsforces, fluids, thermodynamics, waves
  • Chemical foundationsbonding, acid–base, equilibrium
  • Biochemical integrationproteins, enzymes, regulation
  • Systems & physiologycardiac, renal, endocrine
  • Psychological & socialcognition, behavior, structure

Closes with Equations & How to Use Them, built around the idea that most MCAT equations aren't hard, they're misused.

EMT Call Lab

A simulation, not a textbook. You get a patient and a dispatch, and you work the call: size up the scene, run your assessment, form a field impression, and get feedback on your reasoning. Every case ends in a debrief, and the practice adapts to what you miss.

Debrief · sampleCaught pale, sweaty, chest pain that started at rest.Missed asking about medications before you treated.

It's a different kind of project from the course, so it gets its own interface: plainer, faster, built for decisions.

Why I build

Build a life, not a résumé.

Pre-med makes it easy to measure yourself against everyone else, and to do things only because they'll look good on an application. I'd rather you spend that energy on what you actually care about.

Grades and the MCAT matter, and I'll help you earn them. They just aren't your whole story. Your curiosity, your growth, and what you've made are part of it too.

I think education should end in understanding, and then in something you do with it. That's the idea behind everything here.

About

Who made this

Atlas is made by a UCI graduate who will attend medical school in 2027, with an interest in the overlap of medicine, education, and technology. I started building these resources because I kept running into problems I wished someone had solved.
