Start at the bottom left
Baseline is the physiology everything else cites. If you are new, work along that row before you climb. Hemodynamics is the one to start with, and it is the one that is live.
The map
Every series, in the order it gets built.
Sixteen series across three layers, plus the case files that interleave everywhere. Green means lessons are published and the series is moving.

How to read it
Prerequisites are suggestions, not locks.
You can land anywhere
Every lesson opens by saying where it sits on the map and what it assumes. Search will drop you into the middle of a series and that is fine. Nothing is gated.
Every fifth node is a case
Series are broken up by integrated cases that apply everything so far. Spaced repetition, built into the structure rather than bolted on.
A series completes, a pack ships
When a series finishes, its study guide and flashcards get packaged. The map is also the product map, which is why it is worth reading.
