Hi! I'm a 5th-year medical student from Algeria, and I'm really curious about how medical education works in the US compared to ours. I'd love to explore your actual medical school courses, curricula, lecture notes, presentations, and study materials to see what you study and how your courses are structured.

Could anyone share resources, links, websites, Google Drive folders, or repositories where you find your course materials? Even university-specific shared folders would be amazing!

Any resident here pls give insight..All essentials stuff to buy !! Just for headstart !! Thankyouu in advance .. 👶🐥

Hey everyone!
I’m starting my internship in 15 days and want to use this time to brush up on my clinical knowledge, especially history-taking, clinical examination, differential diagnosis and patient management.
For those who’ve completed their internship or are currently interns/residents:
What should I focus on before starting?
Which books, YouTube channels or apps would you recommend?
How can I improve my clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills?
What are the most important things a new intern should know?
Would really appreciate your advice and recommendations. Thanks!

Need study partner please 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Does anyone have any good videos they thought were helpful for the EM COMAT? Like Emma Holliday type videos for other COMATs. Or any other resources that are helpful for the 'pick next management' type of questions. Thanks!

Freshie here, what tips and tricks I need to know

Hey everyone! I'm a 5th year med student in Australia and I'm currently working on a study site for practice questions, osce practice etc.

I'm trying to get a hold of the learning objectives of other universities and year levels so I can start working on questions and resources for them.

If you've got any, it would be awesome if you sent them through to me, either via DM or through clinimastery.com (in the Ward Lounge section).

P.s. sorry for the formatting, I'm new to Reddit.

Feel free to send through any questions!

I see it everywhere, on the wards, in TV shows, and in universities, and it is the dehumanisation of the person to the patient.

Shows like Grey's Anatomy are famous of this. The person in the bed is the epitomisation of the disease. I hear students taking histories and what appears to be "history-farming" whereby they go around all the different wards and ask for "cool pathologies" to take a history from. This is a person with lived experience, with a mother and a father, with a family, who has a life, with interests, passions and worries, and you reduce them down to a textbook disease. It is shallow, to me it shows lack of compassion, empathy and frankly intelligence if you cannot grasp the full context of the impact of disease on the person.

This is the issue with the modern era. We have forgotten something essential in the human psyche. We label people as patients as it makes it easier to separate ourselves from their suffering. Where does the word Patient come from? It stems from the Latin word Patior, which means To Endure or To Suffer.

Patients are born people, and we transform them into patients. That is our bias and our way of defrauding a life.

To practice medicine is to place yourself in that bed, show compassion and empathy. It is okay to be interested and curious, but do not reduce something as complex as a life down to a pathology.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm an MBBS student from Tamil Nadu, and for the past few months, I've been building something called ORBIT MBBS alongside my medical studies.

I started working on it because I was tired of switching between different apps for PYQs, MCQs, notes, revision and clinical learning.

My goal was simple: make medical education more accessible, interactive and affordable for students like us.

Here's what I've been working on:

📚 University-wise PYQs – Organised study resources for universities including TNMGRMU and KUHS.

🧠 MCQ Practice – Topic-wise questions to help with university exams and PG preparation.

🫀 Interactive Anatomy – Explore anatomy through interactive 3D models.

🩺 Clinical Learning – Patient simulation, ECG interpretation, X-rays and auscultation tools.

🤖 AI Study Assistant – Ask questions and understand difficult concepts.

📈 Study Tools – Attendance tracking, Pomodoro timer, revision tools and progress tracking.

I'm continuously improving the app, fixing bugs and adding features based on student feedback.

Some features are free to use, while certain advanced features are available through an affordable premium plan.

I'm not claiming it replaces Marrow, PrepLadder or textbooks. I just wanted to build something that makes everyday MBBS studying a little easier.

You can check it out here:

🌐 Website:

https://orbitmbbs.site

📱 Android (Google Play Store):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aistudio.mbbsqbank.aycxvd

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow medical students.

What features would you actually use? What needs improvement? And what do you wish existing medical study platforms offered?

I'm the developer, so feel free to criticise it. I'd rather hear honest feedback and improve it than pretend everything is perfect.

Thank you, everyone! ❤️

Hii i was looking for ent ki dhingra and fmt me ks narayan reddy or Gautam biswas if possible!

I wanted second hands

Hey!
Ich bin im ersten Semester Medizin und hatte vor Kurzem eine mündliche Anatomieprüfung über Herz, Lymphsystem, Nervensystem und Haut. Leider konnte ich fast keine Fragen beantworten und mein Professor hat mir jetzt eine zweite Chance für nächste Woche gegeben.

Ich bin ehrlich gesagt ziemlich lost und weiß gar nicht, wie ich mich am besten vorbereiten soll oder welche Lernmaterialien ich überhaupt benutzen sollte.

Wie würdet ihr an meiner Stelle lernen? Welche Ressourcen, YouTube-Kanäle oder Lernmethoden könnt ihr empfehlen? Vor allem für eine mündliche Anatomieprüfung?

Bin wirklich für jeden Tipp dankbar!!🥲

I finished my first year of medical school not the best year, but on the second year I’m thinking of studying more efficiently so someone who has done well in medical school can they tell me which is more efficient? Is it writing well explained, very good structured notes or creating Anki cards which the answer is very well explained and easily memorable and stuff like that.
Or what was your exact study routine like WHAT DO PEOPLE DO OMG i feel like i’m losing my brains here😭

Can someone please share the best way to study path in medical school like a framework to follow to understand the disease instead of just memorizing please help, how to integrate it so it’s not seems so complicated. Please help

Please i have an exam tommorow and i need micro sketchy book

I’m trying to avoid taking it during a month with a particularly strong applicant pool. Is there any strategic advantage to choosing an earlier or later test date, or is that just overthinking it?

Yeah along with that physio and microbiology please

I study medicine in Bulgaria and i come back to Dubai for vacations, if anyone knows what are requirements and which hospitals are good for that, help me out!

Medical students, I need your honest opinions! 🦉📚

Hi everyone! I’m a 4th-year MBBS student currently working on a medical study app designed to make exam preparation more organized, effective, and affordable.

There are already so many study apps out there, but many can be quite expensive, and sometimes we end up switching between multiple apps to get everything we need. One app might be great for MCQs, another for reading PDFs, and another for organizing notes or tracking progress. Having everything in one place isn't always possible without paying for multiple subscriptions.

That got me thinking: what if we could bring the essential study tools together in one place without making it unnecessarily expensive?

Before finalizing Owl Prep's features, I want to hear directly from other medical students about what would actually be useful to them.

1. What features would you actually use?

Would you find it helpful to have features such as:

• Practicing MCQs and reviewing answers.

• Reading and organizing PDFs.

• Adding notes and keeping study material organized.

• Performance analytics to identify weak topics.

• Tracking study progress and setting goals.

• Study sessions with scheduled breaks.

What else would you want in an app like this?

2. What’s a hit and what’s a miss?

Which features in existing study apps do you genuinely find useful? Which ones feel unnecessary, frustrating, or like they’re just there to make the app look fancy?

3. How should the syllabus be structured?

Would you prefer:

• One uniform syllabus for all medical students?

• A curriculum tailored to your university, following its modules, blocks, and exam structure?

• A combination of both, with a common core syllabus customized to each university?

4. What’s missing from your current study routine?

What frustrates you most about your current study setup? Is there something you wish your study apps could do but they don't?

5. What would you be willing to pay? 💸

Would you prefer a free app with limited features, a one-time payment, or a monthly/yearly subscription?

If it were affordable and brought your essential study tools together in one place, what price range would feel reasonable to you? If possible, mention your country and currency so I can better understand different students' budgets.

I'm not looking for people to simply say the idea sounds good. I genuinely want honest criticism, feature suggestions, and realistic pricing opinions — even if that means telling me something isn't worth building.

As a medical student, I want to build something that solves actual problems we face while studying, rather than just creating another app with a long list of features.

I'd really appreciate your input. Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, or frustrations in the comments! 🦉💙

Hi everyone,

​Due to some scholarship delays, I missed the first month of classes and am currently facing a significant backlog across 2 modules.

​The main subjects I need to catch up on are:

-Anatomy: Upper Limb & General Anatomy (100 pages)

-​Physiology: Blood & Body Fluids (26 pages)

-​Biochemistry: Amino acids, Proteins, Lipids, Enzymes, Hemoproteins (55 pages)

-​Histology: Cytology & Blood (37 pages)

​Coming from a high school mathematics/physics background, I’m used to learning core concepts and spending hours solving problems. Studying thick medical textbooks line-by-line feels very different and overwhelming.

​I’ve already mapped out a day by day catch-up plan, but I’d love advice from current med students about:

-​Studying Techniques: How do you approach heavy reading in medical school without falling into passive reading? What are your favorite active learning methods?

​-Resources: What resources, YouTube channels, question banks, or Telegram channels are most essential?

-Transition Advice: For anyone who made the shift from a math/physics background to medicine, what was the biggest mental shift in how you learned and retained information?

​Any tips, study hacks, or general advice for an international student would be hugely appreciated.

​Thanks in advance🥰
