What are some good medical school resources to use for first and second year?

I want to force myself out of the habit of staring at endless slides and use books and sites to help my studying. I will use a combo of the following

First Aid 2017
FA Organ Systems
FA Basic Sciences
BRS series
Rapid Review Series
Pathoma

Picmonic, Sketchy Micro, Dr. Najeeb, Boards and Beyond

Ofcourse I wount use this for every single subject, I'll mix it up, but I will annotate my First Aid as I go along in my cirriculum, that and Ill annotate my FA Organ System book.

My students love Sketchy, Pathoma and Najeeb.

For research things, UpToDate, and PubMed. You'd be surprised how many med students are unaware of those.

Goljan pathology audio! He takes you by the hand and brings you along a journey into his sadistic pathology filled mind. Great for long car rides. And free.

FA is useful once you have a good understanding of the topic - remember, it is a review resource rather than a teaching resource. What is in FA is probably going to be a little more superficial than what you'll be asked on your course exams.

Big recommendation for Pathoma and particularly sketchy (micro is HUGE on COMLEX so getting a good understanding that you can quickly recall is key). Goljan is good to listen to in the car and stuff too. If you struggle with physiology, Physeo is a great option and BRS physiology was fantastic if you're looking strictly for books.
