i've been blessed with a beautiful mind, a good heart, and a huge determination.
started to think of USMLE as my progect of salvation, and started to collect information.
then ... after one year of preparations, buying books, collectin resorces, asking 1000s of people about thier experiences, i began the jurney.
i started with medstudy, which was my biggest mistake since i lost so much time on reading focused intese review book without a good strong base of information, then i switched to kaplan, and there....

Not many months ago, it came to my ears that there’s a teacher, who teaches!!
Yes dears, some strange DVDs guys have been using to excel there performance in the USMLE without telling anyone for God knows what reasons… I didn’t even hear about them until recently despite the fact that I’ve been working on the USMLE project for more than a year now, and I immediately went to the very much famous book shop in great Damascus… and got those strange DVDs.
The first thing I did is to look in the cardiology one, in which I was the weakest, well, let me admit that I was weak all over medicine, but cardiology, endocrine, and neuro… were the most difficult dilemmas I had to pass…
In the very first few moments in the cardiology video #1 … I fell in love with the guy.
He knows that info inside your memory are organized in big boring library that pretty much looks like my grandfather’s one, books organized but nobody knows where the hell is the answer… is it in pharmacology?? Is it in pathophysiology?? Oh, maybe I should look in gynecology!!!
His way basically is to bring down this library… blow your mind and make info inside your head incredibly messed up, then he tries to organize them in a way that will make them useful, just like defraging your hard disk and organizing files in order to make them more accessible and make usage of them feasible, making memory restore very much faster….
He helped me know … not merely cardiology, to be honest with you he only tought basic cardiology in the DVD not all of that science… but he helped me know how to learn cardiology, how to learn hematology, and how to learn medicine in general although he only presented few sections of internal medicine. His unorthodox methods of creating memory though jokes and laughter makes memory induction much more easier, and activates intra-hemispheric-info transmission through “corpus cavernousum”.
My dear Conrad Fischer: I love you.
God bless you.
Mohannad Altabban.

yesterday i recieved a letter of recommendation from the hospital i was doing an observership within.
i wish someone can give me an opinion, my observership was done in a very advanced GI center known throughout KSA, the specialist was american boarded, fellow of ACG..
this is the letter
To Whom It May Concern
It gives me pleasure to introduce to you Dr Mohannad Al-tabban. I have known him for more than two years now. He graduated from the University of Damascus in Feb 2007. My first contact with him was through his active participation in the Syrian Medical Students web site. He showed interest and enthusiasm in presenting difficult and controversial cases for forum discussion. Since then he has done a lot of work in the field of gastroenterology. He translated a general update from the American College of Gastroenterolgy meeting that was held in October 2007. He also prepared an update on the management of cirrhosis; a lecture that he presented at his hospital in Hamah.
Mohanned great interest in the field of internal medicine pushed him to travel from Syrian and meet me in May of 2008. He stayed in our division for about 3 weeks. During that time he had the opportunity to watch the application of various routine as well as advanced endoscopic procedures utilized in patient care. More importantly he started working on collecting data base for the outcome of colonoscopic procedures performed at our center. He demonstrated relentless will to finish the project but his time was too short for the mission.
Mohanned has the quality needed for the success of every internist. He sees his goal and pursues it using all available resources. He enjoys tackling challenging cases on both medical as well as ethical aspect being equipped with good level of medical knowledge and impressive command of English language.
Mohanned deserves every chance offered to him to get more training and knowledge because he will definitely make the best of it and hence I hope you could offer all possible help for this nice gentleman.
