Dr Lovaan's Masterclass

Dr. Lovaan is an ex-tutor of Samson Clinical Courses. He conducts a 3-day Masterclass, but in reality, it extends to a consecutive 4-day session, an additional full-day class on the same weekend and a revision class within the next 2-3 weeks, resulting in a total of 6 days of class. Each class spans a full day, lasting 12 hours with three breaks, including a one-hour lunch break and two 15-minute breaks. It is recommended to create personal notes for easier retention and recall.

Could someone please describe what could we expect from Dr. Loovan classes, and does it extend beyond 3 days? ( Asking due to other commitments)

Well I am afraid to tell u that they usually go 9am-10pm mostly for 3 days and on 4th day 11:30am to 10pm mostly

However they r totally worth it

More than any coaching for plab 2…I am attaching his schedule for next Masterclass, May b it will be useful

Adding to this, there will be a 5th day on nearest weekend, because you still won’t be able to finish his syllabus. And after a week he will conduct a 6th Day which is revision class.

So in total it’ll be a 6 days class, 4 consecutive and 2 separate.

Things to remember:

  • Make your own notes
  • Start fresh mind and be open minded: it gonna be exhausting 4 consecutive days, be strong, you can do it.
  • Write everything, be quick, if you miss something, don’t spend your time thinking about it or you’ll end up missing more.
  • Understand his structures and concepts.
  • Everyday after class, go through your notes, polish them.

Dr Lovaan has still not announced the date for February class. Best to message him regarding that on WhatsApp, he replies all the messages in 24 hours.
