Compilation Med school blogs

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've compiled my advice for medical school, the boards, shelf exams, fourth year and match, etc for over four years. The link below is an organized listing of the salient entries. I'd like to think it's a helpful collection.

Not a blog for medical school, but rather a casual guide for writing personal statements in blog form: http://medisdabest.blogspot.com/

(Will crosspost for the premeds, but didn't know where the heck to put this.)
 
Hey all, I'm a 3rd year med student, and I just started a blog on healthy living as a medical student or healthcare professional. Will be posting 1x/week. Enjoy!

Hi guys,

I am an IM(not G yet)...
Anyways, I finished my basic sciences in the Caribbean and am currently studying to take step 1 in December. I was talking to my friend and he told me I would have to wait a whole year for the Match if I take step 1 in December (he said the latest to catch the 2016 match date is October -- is this true?)

My question is where can I find a timeline with important dates for the 2016 Match date? Like when I should be doing what...and so forth. I am so anxious because I always feel like I am missing something.

Okay thanks.
Responses to my inquiry will be much appreciated.
 
I think I have most of the ones listed. Did I miss any? Maybe we could move this list to the beginning, or create a new sticky for med student/resident/physician blogs that stays updated? I think a lot of potentially awesome information or blogs are lost in the multiple pages of the thread. In fact, if I missed any of your favorites, maybe its because they were lost in walls of text.

First time poster, but I've been around for a while.

Will be starting as an MS1 in August. Recently started a blog to document by educational trek and culinary exploits. A conglomorate of food, medicine, and things that intrigue me. Hope to post at least one time a week.

Hey. Yeah I should start a blog.

Hmmmm. Why? Because I need more attention than what I get on SDN.

After a while, you'll become desperate for material. Re: Dr. Oz
 
Long time reader but first time poster here! Currently half way through third year but I feel like my blog has enough med school related stuff on it to be useful for others (pre clerkship stuff, Step 1 studying and experience, and clerkship advice/shelf studying): http://swimmd.blogspot.com

Lots of funny but informative content here. Looks like this could be a good place for financial information
 
Thanks a lot. Very informative and resourceful thread. I am glad you're not repeating blogs and that everyone can find something interesting. Looks like some sleepless nights for me ;)

I recently started a blog. I'm a 2nd year medical student and a 2LT in the Air Force. I think some people will appreciate some of my posts and future posts! http://airforcemd.com/

Interested in strategies and tactics to acheive better work/life balance as a young physician?
I've got a blog at www.CallMeDr.us
Mostly focusing on productivity hacks and financial planning for residents, fellows, and young attendings.
 
Shameless self-plug: mindfulofmedicine.wordpress.com
 
This is what I've been writing - my own (fairly rude) views on med school and medicine (going into surgery). I usually update once a week. Also - I realize not everyone has a mouth like me and I'm really sorry if I offend anyone... I just type my real thoughts
https://boxinginhandcuffs.wordpress.com/
 
I started a 'Humans of Medical School' project that's on Instagram: @humansofmedschool
 
Know there are a lot out there but thought I'd direct you to one more:

couple of articles that med students may find interesting.
Solutionist medicine: how the concierge model can reinvent primary care: http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2014/08...oncierge-model-can-reinvent-primary-care.html

The first: a day in the life of a concierge pediatrician
http://www.modernbocamom.com/2014/12/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-boca-concierge-pediatrician/

Blog on pediatric topics from newborn through adolescence.
www.ChadRudnick.blogspot.com

Hope some of you will find the topics interesting. Good luck through your medical school training.
 
Hi all! I have a blog where I write about residency, med school, health/wellness, recipes, etc. I am compiling a list of medical school blogs and I would love to include yours! I receive a decent amount of traffic each month (about 200,000 page views) and am hoping to grow- so I think it would benefit everyone to have a list of all the current med school blogs! If you want to be included, just leave a comment on this post with your URL: http://www.andreatooley.com/medical-school/medical-school-blogs/

Thanks!!

Followed your vids on YouTube back when I was Premed, they were very helpful and I'm so glad you did well over the years.
 
This was IndigoBoy0's idea, but I'm going to make this an official thread :)

Feel free to use this thread to link to blogs that you feel would be useful to medical students. Please leave just one post for each blog and do not re-post in here simply because the blog has an update; any promotion of a particular blog beyond the first in this thread will receive a warning.

Hello all -- a few months ago, I posted a thread on SDN titled "So I Left Medical School" with a link to a YouTube video of me discussing my experience. I am no longer responding to personal emails/messages as I was doing a poor job at keeping up, and I have since taken down my YouTube video.

Based on the enormous number of replies that I got from students across the U.S. and around the world, I've decided to write humbly about my ongoing experience in a blog: https://soileftmedicalschool.wordpress.com.

I can't promise that I won't go off on a few tangents, but I anticipate that my honestly articulated insight will continue to help others who are considering the path to an MD.

Hey Andrea! I love your blog and your youtube channel has really been an inspiration to me. I have started my own blog as I begin medical school this fall, it would be amazing if you could include it in your med school blog list. URL: https://alifeinscrubs.wordpress.com
 
I'm a recent grad, matched into derm, and started a blog/podcast for M1s and M2s who want to improve their study strategy. There are topics like "How much should I be studying" and "How can I possibly learn all this material?" You can see it at sholamd.com. Let me know what you think!

Just checked your website out and signed up for your updates! I'm not in med school yet but I love what you are doing!
 
I want to share my blog- more on maintaining a life outside of school but also highlights some of the more personal experiences with medicine. http://graysoncobb.com
 
Started this blog back in April. I try to write honestly about the hardships of medical school and keeping perspective. There is an occasional swear word too. Hope you find it helpful-- and entertaining at the very least. Enjoy! http://nerdseyeview22.blogspot.com
 
I copied this from the top and posted it here. People should do the same and add their blogs to the list in the appropriate section thus making it like admission, "Rolling" :)
