Dr. Aizaz, the founder of MedicoVisual.com, celebrates reaching 50,000 YouTube subscribers with a special Q&A video. This milestone video offers viewers a deeper look into Dr. Aizaz's background, educational philosophy, and the journey behind MedicoVisual's creation.
Background and Education:
Dr. Aizaz, now 29, completed his MBBS from Akhtar Saeed Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan. Currently based in Lahore, he's fully dedicated to MedicoVisual.com, which serves as his primary focus and sole income source. Interestingly, he's not teaching at any medical college, choosing instead to concentrate on developing his online educational platform.
Views on Medical Education:
When asked about his perspective on medical education, Dr. Aizaz emphasizes the importance of passion. He firmly believes that one should pursue MBBS, or any professional degree, only if genuinely interested in the field. This philosophy extends beyond medicine, highlighting his belief that true success and fulfillment come from pursuing one's authentic interests.
Journey to Creating Animated Medical Lectures:
The creation of MedicoVisual stems from Dr. Aizaz's personal struggles during medical school. He candidly shares his difficulty with memorization, which led him to focus on understanding core concepts and creating connections with previous knowledge. This approach proved more effective for retention and ultimately shaped his teaching style.
Dr. Aizaz credits Dr. Najeeb as a significant influence, inspiring him to become a medical educator. However, rather than mimicking Dr. Najeeb's style, he identified a gap in medical education: the lack of comprehensive 3D animations for explaining complex concepts. This realization prompted him to learn 3D software, starting with 3ds Max and later switching to Blender. He also honed his skills in PowerPoint for 2D animations, combining these tools to create MedicoVisual's distinctive, visually-rich content.

Dr. Aizaz and MedicoVisual have no affiliation with Dr. Najeeb Lectures. Any mention of Dr. Najeeb's teaching is based solely on past personal experience. We are not responsible for any transactions, services, or content provided by Dr. Najeeb Lectures.
Goals of MedicoVisual:
Dr. Aizaz is refreshingly transparent about his goals:
1.Primary: Create high-quality visual medical lectures to aid student understanding.
2.Secondary: Earn a living to sustain himself and the platform.
3.Tertiary: Gain recognition in the field of medical education.
Lecture Creation Process:
Dr. Aizaz provides insight into his meticulous process:
He starts with a basic textbook (e.g., BRS or Langman's Embryology).
He reads slowly, visualizing concepts and connecting new information with existing knowledge.
He focuses on diagrams and constantly questions the material, noting queries as they arise.
He consults multiple advanced resources to answer questions and gather in-depth information.
He integrates knowledge from various subjects (embryology, histology, physiology, etc.) for a comprehensive understanding.
He's not afraid to explore beyond the standard medical curriculum, often delving into physics, chemistry, or even calculus to fully grasp certain concepts.
Teaching Philosophy:
A key aspect of Dr. Aizaz's teaching philosophy is emphasizing the interconnectedness of scientific subjects. He encourages students to create links between different areas of study, believing this approach enhances both understanding and retention. He shares a quote from Dr. Najeeb that encapsulates this idea: in the body, all medical subjects are integrated, but students often study them separately, leading to difficulties in understanding.
Future Plans:
Looking ahead, Dr. Aizaz outlines his plans for MedicoVisual:
Complete the first comprehensive iteration of embryology lectures.
Expand into other basic medical sciences (physiology, biochemistry, anatomy).
Cover semi-clinical subjects like pathology and pharmacology.
For clinical subjects, potentially collaborate with practicing clinicians.
Accessibility and Affordability:
Addressing course pricing, Dr. Aizaz explains that while YouTube revenue is minimal, course sales are his primary income source. However, he encourages viewers who cannot afford his paid courses to contact him for substantial discounts, balancing sustainability with accessibility.
Software and Technical Aspects:
For those interested in the technical side, Dr. Aizaz primarily uses Blender 3D for 3D animations and models. For 2D animations and vector illustrations, he relies heavily on PowerPoint, praising its capabilities for creating professional-quality visual content.
