My honest review
I lost touch with medicine, its been 4 years after passing out from MBBS. Little skeptical about choosing medical sciences as optional as I lost touch with all basics and clinical insights. Working currently in non medical sector. Foundational course is a real saviour Dr.Naveen. I have enrolled for 3 year subscription as I wanted to start slow and target year 2027. Its great to see that you are covering 100% syllabus and detailed notes pdf is a helpful add on to save time. Highly recommended for beginners and also for aspirants willing to top this optional. All the best UPSC MEDICO and once again special thanks to Dr.Naveen sir, really liked your teaching style.
