Preparing for EDAIC Part 1 requires more than simply reading through a syllabus; it demands a structured progression of learning, repeated exposure to core physiological and pharmacological concepts, and consistent practice with exam-style MCQs. The Akamedics Part 1 Course was designed with this philosophy at its centre. Across 18 weeks, candidates move through a carefully sequenced curriculum—six weeks of physiology, six weeks of pharmacology, two weeks of physics, followed by clinically oriented topics—before entering a period of revision and final preparation. This structure mirrors how knowledge should ideally consolidate: breadth first, depth second, and integration third.

  Each week begins with a small MCQ set—around ten questions, curated to assess foundational understanding while revealing gaps early. These tests are intentionally concise. They are not meant to overwhelm, but to anchor your weekly study and highlight the precise areas that require explanation. Candidates complete the MCQs independently, receive their results immediately, and then engage with the teaching later in the week. On Saturdays, a pre-recorded teaching session becomes available, where senior faculty walk through every question in detail: why the correct option is correct, where students commonly get confused, how the concept links to the broader syllabus, and how examiners tend to frame related topics. Although the sessions are recorded, they are thorough, faculty-led, and designed to simulate the clarity and structure of a live class.

  The true strength of the course lies in how comprehensively each topic is divided and taught. For cardiac physiology, for instance, the syllabus is broken down into focused segments—preload, afterload, contractility, ventricular–vascular coupling, coronary perfusion, pressure–volume loops—with each faculty member responsible for a distinct subset. This ensures depth, accuracy, and deliberate teaching rather than a broad, superficial overview. Renal physiology follows the same pattern: glomerular filtration, tubular transport, countercurrent mechanisms, acid–base handling, and endocrine functions, each taught in a way that builds a complete map of kidney physiology rather than isolated facts. Even complex domains like neuromuscular transmission and skeletal muscle physiology are covered in a way that allows candidates to see structure, mechanism and clinical correlation simultaneously. This level of granularity is rarely achievable through self-study alone.

  Across 18 weeks, these weekly sessions accumulate into a vast bank of MCQs—none of which are reused for teaching at the end. Instead, they form the basis of the full-length mock exam offered between 7th and 14th September, just before candidates sit the real exam. The mock test spans all major domains covered in the course and is intentionally designed to replicate the breadth and flavour of the official ESAIC examination. By this point in the programme, candidates have repeatedly practised, reviewed, and reinforced core principles, making the mock a reliable measure of readiness.

  Despite being a recorded course, the learning experience is far from passive. Every candidate becomes part of a dedicated WhatsApp group moderated by senior faculty. Questions that arise during study or while watching the explanatory videos can be submitted to the group at any time, and tutors respond with detailed clarifications, diagrams, references and explanations. The group also functions as a shared learning space: candidates compare reasoning, discuss difficult MCQs, and support each other’s progress. In this way, the course maintains the personalised guidance of a live classroom while offering the flexibility of recorded learning.

  This 18-week immersion strengthens knowledge systematically. Physiology and pharmacology are revisited repeatedly through weekly questions; physics is demystified through targeted sessions; and clinical topics help integrate the basic sciences into real anaesthetic decision-making. By the time candidates reach the final weeks of revision and the end-of-course mock, the volume of material no longer feels unmanageable—it feels organised, rehearsed and familiar. The course is built on one belief: when concepts are taught clearly, practised consistently, and revisited with purpose, EDAIC Part 1 becomes not only achievable but predictable.

  Candidates are encouraged to begin with an open mind, maintain regular weekly engagement, and make full use of the MCQs and discussion groups. With experienced faculty guiding each topic, structured explanations for every question, and a cohesive flow that mirrors exam expectations, the Akamedics EDAIC Part 1 Course offers a complete roadmap for exam success. Eighteen weeks of focused learning can transform your preparation—one MCQ set, one video lesson and one concept at a time.
