Hi, I'm João Nuno.

If you're reading this, chances are you're where I once was: staring at the USMLE from outside the US, unsure where to begin. I'm a dermatologist and anatomy instructor at the University of Coimbra, and I prepared for Step 1 and Step 2 CK the same way you're about to — as an international medical graduate, far from the system that designed these exams.

"What changed everything wasn't studying more. It was studying differently. The USMLE doesn't reward whoever memorized the most; it rewards whoever reasons like a clinician."


Once that clicked, preparation stopped being a grind and became genuinely interesting — and the scores followed.

That's the shift I want to share with you: that you can reach exam day prepared and confident, without having wrecked your health to get there.

Together, we are changing the world

We're not geniuses. We were students once — just like you.

Great Ideas. Great Projects. Great People
