Online Med Ed

This site was created by Dr. Dustin Williams. It is edited by physicians and other health professionals, each of whom wants to help provide quality medical education and make knowledge easily accessible to medical students, with an emphasis on the clinic and STEP 2 and 3. Williams notes that their mission is to change the approach to the delivery of medical education, to how medical universities deliver it and how students perceive it. They want students to be able to use what they have learned in practice. This is achieved by providing information more simply, quickly, and reliably.
The site is very extensive and includes free videos from disciplines such as traumatology, pediatrics, nephrology, endocrinology, and infectious diseases, as well as an Intern Content section where individual diseases (kidney failure, chronic heart failure, etc.), patient parameters (eg, electrolytes) or specific signs and symptoms of diseases (delirium, weakness or hemoptysis). All in all, this is a great site to learn from years of medical school.

Picmonics

The term “picmonics” is short for “pictorial mnemonics” and is a company founded in Arizona by medical students with a team of illustrators, writers, and medical reviewers. Picmonica was developed to facilitate the management of the vast amount of clinical information required for medical practice. This resource uses a large number of pictures with a series of mnemonic techniques to help students learn. It covers fundamental scientific disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, pathology, and epidemiology. There are also books available for purchase to prepare for the USMLE. The illustrations used for Picmonics are very bright and easy to remember, and the authors have a good sense of humor.
