Master Physiological Psychology & Psychopharmacology for the EPPP
Turn the hardest domain into pattern recognition.
In five focused hours, you’ll learn structure → function and mechanism → expected outcome so a single clue—a brain region, a pathway, or a drug side‑effect—points to the right answer. These frameworks lift scores across diagnosis, learning/memory, perception, sleep, and treatment rationales while psychopharm becomes predictable and finite.

Sunday, November 8th 1:00 PM Pacific

What You’ll Learn
• Hindbrain, midbrain & subcortical forebrain: regions → functions
• Cerebral cortex maps and what each lobe does
• Neurons, neurotransmitters & major pathways
• Sensation & perception essentials
• Memory systems & sleep architecture
• Emotions & stress circuits
• Psychopharm: antipsychotics &
antidepressants
• Live: two sessions/month, 2.5h each (5h total)
• Interactive: solve mock EPPP stems together
• Rapid reasoning steps (clue → answer)
• Visual: 3‑D brain animations to cement pathways
• Practice: homework after each session
• Case‑based: brief, real (de‑identified) vignettes

As a longtime Prepjet Coach, Ethan has developed a loyal following of applicants and due to the emphasis of Physio and Psychopharmacology over the 2 plus years and because a weakness in this domain can impair performance in elements of Lifespan and Psychopathology, he designed this live 2 session course to help applicants develop a deeper and broader understanding of the one domain that has resulted in too many applicants struggling to pass the EPPP

Why This Class Works (and Moves Your Scaled Score)
Most EPPP physio‑psych and psychopharm questions quietly hinge on mechanism.
When you know structure → function and mechanism → expected outcome, distractors become predictable and the right answer stands out.
Because these frameworks ripple into diagnosis differentials, learning/memory, perception, sleep, and treatment rationales, the impact extends far beyond this section. Psychopharm is also finite: internalize the short list of mechanisms and side‑effect “tells,” and you’ll anticipate anwers before you finish the stem. Five focused hours turn complex science into fast, test‑day decisions.
Mechanism → Answer
Spot the brain region, pathway, or side‑effect that unlocks the stem and narrows to the correct option.
Live & Interactive
Two 2.5‑hour sessions each month (5 hours total) where we work through mock EPPP questions together in real time.
3‑D Brain Learning
Animations cement structures and pathways so recall is automatic under time pressure.
Practice That Sticks
Targeted homework after each class reinforces high‑yield patterns and common distractors.
Case‑Based & Practical
real (de‑identified) stories connect mechanisms to diagnoses and treatments so concepts transfer to test items.
