Australian med students in clinical years - how do you study? What resources do you swear by?

[whoevenami]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently in MD2 and use a mix of BMJ onexamination qbank, amboss, random youtube vids (paul bolin ftw) to study. Keen to see how others study! People in my med school that I interact with tend to just write notes from lectures and don't really use UK/american resources.

Second year as well, lots of people in my year use osmosis, BMJ, UptoDate and then the lectures we get from upper years (tend to cut out a lot of the fluff from the normal lectures and focus on the high yield material). Some "American" resources that I use/a few of my classmates use are Pathoma, Sketchy Pharm and Micro, along with boards and beyond. Those are all paid subscriptions but a good free YouTube channel that covers a lot of high yield/common content in a really concise way is dirty medicine (used to be called dirty usmle).

Do you use a qbank as well? I feel like passmedicine is really underrated learning tool for us australian students. Nice guidelines translate pretty well to what eTG says, only minor differences here and there
