Neural Consult

What is Neural Consult?

Neural Consult is a mastery-based learning platform built for medical students. It guides you from knowing nothing about a medical topic to being confident and independent in clinical situations, using a progression of study tools that lead up to realistic clinical simulations.

The platform operates on a freemium basis: a limited free version lets you try it out, while a paid plan unlocks all resources with unlimited use. You can also refer friends to gain access to the paid tier.

A notable feature is that Neural Consult can generate medical content on its own based on study topics you provide. Alternatively, you can upload your own materials, and the platform converts them into study aids such as searches, flashcards, and simulations.

Who created Neural Consult?

Neural Consult was founded by Jonathan Aguiar, MD, Dale Sanders, David M Liebovitz, MD, and Michael McDowell, MD.

• Jonathan Aguiar is an MD-MBA student at Northwestern University.
• Dale Sanders brings over 30 years of leadership experience in healthcare data science and strategy.
• David M Liebovitz, MD, is an internist and co-director of Augmented Intelligence at Northwestern Medicine.
• Michael McDowell, MD, is a neurosurgeon who leads Pediatric Cranial Base Neurosurgery at Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

The platform is designed specifically for medical learning, with the goal of improving the quality of educational resources available to students.

Key features

• Lecture summaries to condense your course material.
• Flashcard hubs to reinforce and retain knowledge.
• Board-style practice questions to test topic recognition under exam-like conditions.
• Clinical simulations that build on the other tools and simulate real patient encounters.
• Content generation from your own study topics or uploaded materials.
