  • Comprehensive coverage of foundational sciences and transition to clinical practice
  • Reviewed and referenced by local science, clinical, and education experts

Find the right questions fast

Cardiovascular system, anatomy, motor neurons, or clinical science - filter questions by system, discipline, topic, and difficulty.

Micro
New Difficulty

Explain, highlight, revise

Every question includes a full referenced explanation, reviewed by topic experts, so you can highlight the details that matter and come back to them later.

Notepad
Chylomicrons are too large to enter blood capillaries directly. They are absorbed into lymphatic capillaries within the intestinal villi, then travel through the lymphatic system before entering the venous circulation via the thoracic duct.

Clinical science connections

Consolidate the high-yield facts and mechanisms that help foundational science make sense when clinical medicine begins.

Penicillins inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins.
Beta-lactam antibiotics prevent cross-linking of peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall.
The beta-lactam ring structure is essential for the antimicrobial activity of penicillins.

OSCE Practice

Practise early clinical skills with structure

Use OSCE stations to practise the histories, examinations, and communication skills that start to matter in the pre-clinical years.
  • 60+ OSCE stations with detailed marking sheets
  • Varied tasks including history-taking and examination
  • Reviewed and referenced by local clinical and education experts

Solo or group practice

Practise by yourself, or join a group with your friends and assign roles to streamline your practice sessions.

Case Studies

Connect the science to patient care

Work through 50+ foundational case studies that show how anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical science come together in real clinical presentations.
  • 50+ Case Studies built around foundational science and early clinical reasoning
  • Self-assessment questions that connect mechanisms to clinical decisions
  • Reviewed and referenced by local science, clinical, and education experts

Browse the case library

Find cases by system, discipline, or topic so foundational science revision stays connected to the presentations you will see later.

🧬 Pathology
🧬 Pathology

An infant with recurrent infections

This case introduces the immune mechanisms behind recurrent infection, linking cellular immunity, antibody production, and clinical presentation.
Not Started
5 minutes

Follow the patient journey

Move through the clinical presentation, relevant science, investigations, and explanation so facts become easier to apply.

Test yourself as you go

Use integrated questions to check whether you can apply the underlying mechanism, not just recognise the term.

B-cell dysfunction
Neutrophil hyperactivity

Recurrent sinopulmonary infections with encapsulated organisms should prompt revision of humoral immunity, antibody production, and the role of B cells in immune defence.


Mock Exams

Know where your revision stands

Benchmark your foundational science preparation with full-length Mock Exams curated by medical educators for Australian medical students.
  • Blueprinted to comprehensively test foundational sciences and transition to clinical practice
  • Detailed explanatory feedback, referenced and reviewed by experts
  • Individual and cohort comparison data

Cohort comparisons

Compare your Mock Exam result with your cohort so you can see how your preparation is tracking.

Nebivolol
Atenolol

The four beta-blockers with evidence for use in congestive cardiac failure in terms of providing a mortality benefit are nebivolol, carvedilol, bisoprolol, and metoprolol. These agents can reduce the mortality rate by about 30% over one year. Nebivolol has been studied for use in the elderly population with heart failure (SENIORS study). The other three beta-blockers (ie, carvedilol, bisoprolol, metoprolol) provide significant mortality benefit but have not been studied extensively for use in the elderly population.

What’s included in the Basic Science free trial?

The Basic Science free trial includes 5 days of full access to all content except Mock Exams. Question Bank usage is limited to 100 questions. After your free trial finishes you will still have access to a small selection of sample content.

What content is covered in Basic Science?

The Basic Science resource covers a broad range of foundational science disciplines including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, pathophysiology, embryology, cytology, histology, biostatistics, ethics and more. It also includes clinical content testing reasoning skills, suitable for transition to clinical practice.

Who is Basic Science suitable for?

The content is pitched at foundational science at university level, with content across a range of difficulty. The resource is suitable for pre-clinical year medical students, health science and allied health students, and health professionals revising foundational sciences.

Is there any overlap between the Basic Science and Clinical Medicine resources?

The Basic Science resource includes approximately 1,000 clinical items tagged as Introduction to Clinical Sciences, designed for pre-clinical medical students preparing to transition into clinical placements. These items are also available within the Clinical Medicine resource. The majority of the Basic Science content - primarily focused on foundational sciences - is not included in the Clinical Medicine resource, and vice versa.

How often is eMedici content updated?

All content is reviewed and referenced by clinicians and educators, in line with the latest evidence-based guidelines. Updates to content are made on a regular, ongoing basis in response to changes in guidelines, statistical data, and user feedback.
