Hello,

Its called "Spellex" and I use it before submiting any important document. I ve been using it like 2 years from now and it is amazing how much time I save.

Would've been so much funnier if you had a lone but blatant spelling error in that post lol

I want to share the following site, dedicated to the explanation of each inhaler technique.

I think it will be useful for patient guidance, and it is based on each inhaler's leaflet.

Hello! My name is Anvar, I am from Russia. I graduated from medical university and worked as an ophthalmologist. Total I spent 8 years of life in medicine. I liked programming it was my hobby and it's turned out that the hobby became my profession. So last four years I am working as an iOS developer. It is a little info about me, But let's go back to the topic of the thread.
I have developed a mobile app for studying anatomy - Easy Anatomy

The problem application solves is that every year millions of medical students learn anatomy and it requires lots of hours of memorization from atlases and books. My solution is a mobile app that has all you need to learn anatomy. We've created accurate, high-quality anatomy illustrations and exam quizzes. All anatomical terminologies are in Latin & English & Russian.
So no more words lets look at screenshots:

So if you are studying anatomy, you can try my app as an instrument for more effective learning of anatomy.

There are a lot of websites and apps which are useful for medical students. Here is a quick breakdown and filteration of the best websites and apps from thousands available out there. Please go through these apps and websites, these are very much helpful for all the medical students.

There are some of the op apps available for medical students are:
  • Lexicomp.
  • Prognosis.
  • Epocrates.
  • Radiology 2.0
Best study websites for medical students:
  • Online Med Ed
  • Picmonics

Best Website for medical students to get regular news and updates:
This website provides a complete and informative guide for MBBS Admission in top universities of India and abroad. This website also provide information about the fee structure, courses, eligibility, scholarships provided ans the procedure to get admission.
 
I have recently started studying for the GSSE (primary surgical exam in Australia) and have been using Primary Anatomy, a great resource for the anatomy component of the exam with thousands of practice questions and mock exams. It does come at a small cost, but if it gets me through this exam it is totally worth it!

The website can be found at www.primaryanatomy.com

I presume it would also be useful for most surgical / anatomy exams, the content is based on the RACS syllabus and core text Last’s Anatomy.

Does anyone have any suggestions for surgical physiology and pathology?
 
Add Zamzar to misc; free file conversion website--excellent
 
Hello everyone! I'm trying to gather information on how accessible resources are to medical professionals (or medical students), and how useful they may be during work. I am working on a thesis that deals with the healthcare system in the UK from the doctor's point of view and would love if people who are currently studying or working in healthcare could answer this survey for me please! It will only take a minute but would help me so much in what I am trying to do

I use MedCalX as my preferred calculator in a day-to-day basis. I've been using it ever since med school and it still works: ‎MedCalX

Also, to run codes, I use Code Leader. It's got a built-in code timer and helps you keep track of what's going on for your documentation later. It also provides recommendations during a code to help things run smoothly: ‎Code Leader
 
We are developing a virtual case conference for medical students in the US and in India to discuss interesting disease presentations and treatment plans. We hope this program will improve healthcare relationships and education in both countries. We also hope to simulate a global health experience, especially during the pandemic. We have no vested financial interest in its success. The virtual conference will be conducted via Zoom and will likely be for one hour once monthly.

The following link provides more insight into our proposed program:

This is the most useful app that helps me with studying pathology Voka.io
Available on Google Play and App Store. Hope it'll be useful
 
I see a lot of random apps on here, but not too many ones typical students/residents used on a daily basis.

Clinical Rotations Starter Pack in 2022 (All Free or close to it outside uptodate/dynamed which your school should pay for):

In no particular order...

1.) Journal Club: Indexable overviews of all major landmark studies with a search function. It's a great way to practice evidence based medicine and keep up with pompous people who insist on quoting study names instead of bottom lines.
2.) MedCalc: Also has a search function. You can search Rhabdomyolysis and learn that there's a McMahon score. It's a nice way to buff up your H&P. Like a thesaurus, make sure you think before applying random clinical scores to things or you'll look really superficial. I find it more helpful to understand for a condition and which factors lead to higher risk and incorporate that into my clinical reasoning.
3.) Epic: If your school uses it, get it on your phone and learn to use it. It's going to get more common. It will make rounds much easier. Try to start using your phone instead of the scut sheet when possible. Try presenting from the H&P in the chart instead of your paper.
4.) USPSTF: It calculates your patient's primary care needs based off their demographics in clinic if your EMR doesn't already do it for you.
5.) UptoDate/Dynamed/etc. Just use for whatever your school pays for. This should be your "go-to" or medical encyclopedia for everything. Try not to have multiple ones.
6.) GoodRx: Gives you practical costs and shapes/colors of pills.
7.) UWorld so you can do questions on the fly.

8.) You'll notice what's not on here: Epocrates, MedScape, Sanford Guide, etc. All of these are paid prescriptions that offer what UptoDate/Dynamed will already provide you perhaps packaged a little differently to make you think it's better.. Learn how to access the same information using UptoDate/Dynamed. It's there... The key is to find one resource and get good at using it for efficiencies sake and your wallet's sake.

Honorable Mentions:

9.) Human Dx. It's a kind of cool collection of interactive cases with teaching points. It can help with clinical reasoning, but isn't really going to remediate anyone who's struggling as it's more about detailed medical knowledge than fundamentals.
10.) Clinical Sense. Can help with practical knowledge of common scenarios and has some role in remediation for struggling residents but still not nearly as comprehensive or detailed as I would like.
