The Finseth Review began in 2011 as a medical student project at The Ohio State University — a mission to build a more concise, efficient neurology shelf prep tool. It became an underground success, spreading student-to-student via shared PDFs across the country.
In 2025, the review was reimagined as a full app with revised content, new questions, and features like easy-access browsing and interactive quizzing — all in a clean, cross-platform experience.
