I am a medical student from a developing country in Southeast Europe, the average monthly wages here are around 420 euros. The education system incomparable to the american or european system, the literature we use is so outdated that our diploma is not recognised outside our county. But we want to be as equally good doctors. Therefore, we try using foreign books and online resources but you know these things usually have a price and my family cannot afford to pay for my ‘non-university-required’. /optional study materials. I am in my clinical years of med school and I have found the OnlineMedEd videos very useful but I can not afford the OME notes. May ask if anyone could be willing to share the onlinemeded notes pdf with me. I would be really grateful. Sorry for taking your time. please if you can and want help me. Thank you in advance!
I had an ask recently for the books I use, so I thought I’d give a bit of a run down of the ones I like. All of this is very UK leaning unfortunately.
Clinical books
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine - always useful for an overview. Seem that most consultants either love it or hate it. I like to use it when structuring my notes, but it doesn’t always go into all the detail I want.
Other Oxford Handbooks I’ve liked: Clinical Specialities, Foundation Programme.
Kumar & Clarke - I don’t actually use this as much as I should, but it’s good when trying to get some revision done when the computer is off. It’s usually much faster to google my query. Explains things really well though and has nice diagrams. I now have a mini version as well which I can see myself using more than the giant one.
Clinically Oriented Anatomy - my preferred resource. Others like Gray’s. COA has simpler pictures, and fewer errors.
BNF - always useful.
The ECG Made Easy - I learnt ECGs from this book. Went through meticulously and made notes. Obviously you need to practice (The ECG In Practice) and correlate clinically, but the Saturday I spent with this book was an exceedingly useful one.
Pre-clinical books
Color Atlas of Histology - I like histology
Langman’s Medical Embryology - makes sense of the gobbledegook that is sodding embryology (the most dreaded lectures of each module)
Anatomy Coloring Book - for procrastination. Doesn’t really matter which one you get, the amount you actually learn from doing it is limited.
Online Resources
eBNF - because who uses paper copies these days anyway? I think you need a login, can’t remember how to get that.
Passmedicine - for SBA practice. Costs £22 for the whole year, and includes SJT practice questions which will be usesful come December time….
Fastbleep - really nicely written up medical notes on different conditions, with pathophysiology etc. Doesn’t have all topics, but has a LOT.
Wikipedia - it shouldn’t be, but it is, and I have no shame.
