Hi guys, previously in one of my posts, I said that I would do a review of a number of websites, useful for medical students.
Well, I have been doing a fair bit of searching, and I believe I have found some very good ones indeed.
MIT OCW Biology and Chemistry
The Massachusetts institute of technology (MIT) has opened up an outstanding website called Open Course Ware (OCW). Now not only does this site offer courses for Biology and Chemistry, but over 2000 courses, from commerce based subjects to literature.
Now, these two sites contain a wide range of resources, which include lecture notes, tests based on the topics, multimedia content such as videos and pictures. Now, what I love most about these two sites are the videos that they have. MIT gives you actual lecture hall videos of their teachers doing class. I believe that these resources are absolutely astounding. And what may be most surprising of all is that its all free.
Medical Student
This site contains so much information, that I will not even attempt to go over what lies in these pages. But, I will tell you that, it contains information of pretty much all aspects of medicine, a smorgasbord of information lies here which includes pictures, diagrams, explanations etc...
Student Doctor Network
This site offers advice, information and links to other useful sites for medicine. But, what I like most about the site if the forum. The forum caters for a wide array of medical disciplines, even dentistry! Click on the image to go to the original site. You can get information from the official site, and ask about different medical practices, request for resources and ask for advice in their forum. You have to make a free account in their forum first though.
And the picture on the side is just a list of the forums inside the forums, there are many boards and child boards inside them too.
In fact, I think the pre-medical forum here will be very useful for people who want to study medicine but are not sure about it.
Free books for doctors
This site contains may free medical books, and they neatly arranged into different topics. Most of the books are in Adobe .pdf format, so you will need Adobe reader to open these files. You can also try Foxit reader.
More sites
I would also like to point out to another fellow bloggers post, regarding useful sites for student studying medicine. Please find his post here!
Till then, happy studying!
