Sounds like a good idea. The original intention of this list was to include study resources, but it has grown quite a bit since then. What did you have in mind?

I can't say enough about this site: http://wellnessrounds.org/

It's written by a pediatric surgeon faculty member at my school. She has dedicated her life to mentoring medical students, and this site is just another way to check out some of her AMAZING advice.

Forget all of those other sites about anatomy, histology, etc. She will tell about how to set a solid foundation of good habits so that you can be more effective during your basic sciences as well as your clinical years.

If you sign up at this website (free), they email you a daily newsletter with a Step 1 and Step 2 Question, mnemonic, and clinical pearl. It's a great use of 5 minutes of your day and keeps your mind active.


Thanks, and this is an awesome thread!

Hi there,

my name is Mat and I am 5th year medical student from Poland and I want to show you medical website.

www.MedicalCases.eu - learn by solving medical cases.

I have just published two new case-tests. I will be thankful for a review :)

This is site which I founded about year ago with my medical friends around the world. As I wrote here http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=708158 - we are still looking for a medics (MDs and Medical Students) who like the idea and want to cooperate.

Hi all,

QuizMD is a website I developed starting in first year medical school and continuously over the last 4 years. It’s a high-quality exam question bank that is peer-reviewed and allows material to be refined by rating and discussion.

The URL is http://quiz.md

It's run entirely by student volunteers and is completely free. Our goal is to create the ultimate free resource for practice exam questions for med students to be used worldwide.

It's all I used to study for the MCCQE! Hope you find it useful too.

Dan

For students just starting a course, I do recommend the Khan academy (KHHAAAAAAN). Kidding aside, it's a good way to make sure that you have the basic, essential structures of knowledge on lockdown before facing the actual classes.

It's like making sure the primer layer of paint is there before you start getting sprayed.
 
Wow this page is awesome. I think everyone already took my favorites, but there was one I didn't see and one that's relatively new that I've really enjoyed. You can probably tell from my signature.

Clinical Review is great for your general USMLE calculators.

But the new one that I keep coming back to is MedStudentBooks.com for random advice and reviews.

I saw this vast collection of good websites on different medical subjects so I thought I should contribute as well. Here is a great human anatomy website.

For those medical students that are interested in pursuing Urology as a career or interested in learning more about all the great things the specialty has to offer, I encourage them to check out the website: www.urologymatch.com It was started a number of years ago by a couple of medical students that were going into Urology. They have since gone on to make this a great, informative site.

Urology is a field to which most medical students are never exposed. So, if you are a student and in the process of exploring career choices and are interested in a surgical specialty, I highly encourage you to check out Urology.
 
Hey all,

I started a subreddit to compile a list of resources that could be useful during M1 and M2 years (maybe later too). I was going eventually to go through this sticky and post it on there, but in the mean time, if anyone feels like sharing:

http://www.reddit.com/r/MedStudentsShareToo/

Let me know what you think works/doesn't work
 
I've been putting together a bunch of Med tutorials, esp neuroscience. Let me know what you think:

http://www.handwrittentutorials.com

I've been getting a lot of good feedback, but I'd love to hear any comments or points for improvement. Thanks

Wow, these are all great resources. Thanks! I'm new to the forum and looking forward to getting involved with the discussions.
 
Lost my old login and I guess it's email, but found this one through a friend. Not all-encompassing, but looks like its got some pretty decent notes.
www.theopenhydrant.com
 
www.syncytiabeta.org

This is a really interesting new (free!) website that integrates a lot of information found on the Step 1 Exam. The material is somewhere in between that of a review book and a textbook, so you get explanations without a lot of extraneous info. I've begun referring to it a lot while I study for my med school courses. I actually wish I'd had it during first year as the physiology explanations are really helpful as well.
 
I just finished my Step 1 exam, and I'll add to this resource list:

http://www.helphippo.com

They had the BEST cardiac auscultation video tutorial series for identifying headphoned heart murmurs (helphippo is THE reason I got those questions right on Step 1.)

For M1s: They have a glycolysis mnemonic that actually works, and they helped me (finally) understand Immunology complement.

I'll also warn that some of their mnemonic/videos can be "crude" - but that's what makes them memorable. Their 2 min videos introduce a topic, so you can get details from textbooks. I can't recommend hellphippo enough!
 
This is really cool... simple app I found searching google market ahhh I mean play store (worst name change ever!) for apps that would make me not look so clueless when my residents and attending staring me down during medicine rotation. It basically takes some algorithms on paper and electrifies them :D its only good for abdominal pain but its cheap and seems to cover a variety of common abdominal chief complaints.

I think that algorithms are very useful etc especially when it comes to arriving at a reasonable diagnosis and formulating a differential so I bought it and feel this type of thing could really help out and also in to avoid ordering rainbow labs and pan scanning and pan culturing everyone that walks through the door. Caveat , it cost 5$ and only is good for android phones which sucks for my fellow I phone friends...also it needs a little tweaking but really helps me on wards get practice working through complexs abdominal complaint cases. I was like man 5 bucks and all software (just like healthcare haha) should be free but its cheaper than a Chipotle burrito and is pretty good for what you get.
 
New version of web platform for medical student and doctors - http://www.MedicalCases.eu

Website is generally based on solving hypothetical medical cases - great opportunity to learn!
