Aethera Physicians Training Lab
Two tracks, taught apart.
One track prepares medical students and graduates for USMLE and the residency match, with our partner USMLE 100. The other teaches licensed clinicians how a service line is run, and what the evidence and the law allow.
Taught online. No Aethera clinic is open yet, so in-person teaching waits for one to open in Nashville, Miami or Madison.
Why this Lab exists
Learn how a service runs. Learn what the evidence says.
If you are adding hormone therapy, weight management or IV therapy to your practice, you need to know how the service is run and what the evidence supports. The clinical track teaches both. The IV and aesthetics modules also teach how scope and supervision rules differ by state and by license. Students preparing for USMLE have a separate track, with its own prices and its own advisers.
How the Lab works
The teaching follows a few fixed rules.
The first applies to both tracks. Each of the others applies to one.
Separate courses, separate prices
Students and licensed clinicians take different courses at different prices. Exam preparation needs no application. Clinical training is for licensed clinicians and starts with an application.
USMLE 100 runs the exam track
USMLE 100 is our partner on the exam track. It teaches the Step 1 cohorts and one-on-one tutoring, and it advises on the residency match.
Each clinical module is graded
Every clinical module carries an evidence grade and teaches its limits. The evidence is thinner for pellets and compounded hormones. High-dose vitamin infusions for people with no deficiency have no good outcome evidence. The wellness module teaches that a biological-age score is not a clinical finding.
Your license sets your scope
Scope, supervision and delegation differ by state and by license. The IV and aesthetics modules on the clinical track teach those rules directly. Online teaching cannot give you injection skill, so the hands-on lab waits for a clinic to open in Nashville, Miami or Madison.
Dated when the rules change
Some of what the clinical track teaches changes. The section on compounded GLP-1 supply carries a visible date and is reviewed on a set schedule.
The exam track
A Step 1 cohort runs for six weeks.
- Before day 1Your exam date and your progress set the tier. Foundations is for six months out or more. Targeted Remediation is for about six months out, when you have already studied and stalled.
- Weeks 1–6Live lectures and question sessions every day, with a course book, recorded lectures and flashcards. Tutors answer by message. Targeted Remediation adds two one-on-one sessions and replies inside 24 hours.
- In the cohortTwo full-length practice exams, written from original questions. Nothing is reproduced or reconstructed from a real exam.
- After your examWe never ask what was on it. Tutors are told in writing not to accept exam content, because a student who shares it can be sanctioned under the USMLE rules.
Step 1 preparation
Priced in the open, by exam date.
Exam preparation is priced here and needs no application. Step 2 CK and Step 3 cohorts are in development, with no price or start date yet, so for now there is a waitlist.

USMLE is a joint program of the Federation of State Medical Boards and the National Board of Medical Examiners. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by either.
What we will not sell you
We cannot offer accredited CME.
Aethera sells healthcare products. Under the ACCME rules, that makes it ineligible to accredit continuing medical education. No course here carries AMA PRA Category 1 Credit, and our certificate does not meet a state board CME requirement. If you need accredited credit, it has to come from an independent accredited provider.
Our certificate records that you completed a course. It is not a board certification, and it does not widen your scope of practice. We publish no pass rate or match rate, because we have no audited results of our own yet.
We sell some of what we teach. The diagnostics module teaches you to read the 30-marker panel and a pharmacogenomic test, and Aethera sells both. The IV module is built with Just IV Clinics, a partner we do business with. No course comes with free product, a purchase commitment or an order target.
Delivery and payment
Here is how the courses are delivered and paid for.
Every course is taught online. Hands-on clinical teaching waits for an Aethera clinic to open.
No in-person Aethera clinic is open yet. Three are in development in Nashville, Miami and Madison, Wisconsin, and a fourth is planned for Bogotá in early 2027. We will say so plainly here the day one opens, and not before.
You pay for courses directly, and you see the full fee before you commit. Courses are education, not medical care, so insurance and HSA or FSA funds do not cover them.
Clinical training is not accredited CME.
Nothing on this site is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a promise of a result. Talk to a licensed clinician about your own situation before starting anything.
