Medical School Resources! (and other human biology,physiology,biochemistry-related resources)

Hi Everyone!

Update: I am now officially done with my second year! I know i’ve been MIA on here for a while now - but that’s only because I was drowning in textbooks and assignments! I will be writing a whole other post on what my second year in medical school was like - so watch out for that :)

I, for one, can not just rely on one method of learning. Meaning, I’ll jump from videos, to textbooks, to flashcards. In this post I’m going to list some of my holy grail youtube channels that have helped saved me.

1) Handwritten Tutorials

https://www.youtube.com/user/harpinmartin

Every video in this channel is short, but not so much that you feel like you’re missing out on information. Definitely one to save as a favourite!

2) Armando Hasudungan

https://www.youtube.com/user/armandohasudungan

The best thing about this channel is the fact that there are over 300 videos, covering a wide range of core topics in endocrinology, neurology, physiology and pharmacology. Another pro is the presentation of topics (otherwise considered snooze-worthy) in an artistic manner!

3) Speed Pharmacology

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-i2EBYXH6-GAglvuDIaufQ

Raise your hand if you’ve ever fallen asleep trying to read about the mechanism of action of opioids, their side effects and contraindications. I know I have. Fret not, for this youtube channel will introduce you to a world where pharmacology is actually interesting.

4) Wendy Riggs

https://www.youtube.com/user/wendogg1

Wendy Riggs is a very down-to-earth professor in Northern California, and she covers a wide range of topics in Anatomy, Physiology and General Biology.

5) Anatomy Zone

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAnatomyZone

A better way to learn anatomy is to supplement your textbook information with videos from this channel. The explanations and visuals provided are absolute gold.

I hope you all find these channels as helpful as I did!

SOME OF MY PERSONAL TIPS:

develop grit. your perseverance and passion towards what you want will help you reach your long-term goals.

there’s always someone better and there’s always someone worse, but there is no one like you. comparisons will kill you. be the best version of yourself.

find what works best for your learning style.

develop good habits. get into the habit of taking notes, being organized, and paying attention in class.

don’T PROCRASTINATE. study early. you’ll feel less stressed and you’ll retain more information.

if you don’t understand something don’t leave it ‘till the last minute. identify your problems/areas of struggle and target them.

try to relax here and there! always plan time to relax. ALWAYS take a break from studying.

alright guys that concludes my second back to school masterpost. if you haven’t checked out my first one check it out: (x). if any links aren’t working please message me and don’t forget to follow me for more school-related posts on how you can improve. EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF SUCCEEDING. don’t let people tell you otherwise.

Most bang-for-buck things every intern should know before starting inpatient wards

Source. A collection of Meddit resources and advice on what bread-and-butter topics interns would most benefit from brushing up on/memorizing prior to the beginning of their internship. 1) Fluids. How and when to use them, dosage, timing and other pearls.

Review of fluids (not how to use them per se) by Dr. Strong /u/ericstrong

Maintenance Intravenous Fluids in Acutely Ill Patients - NEJM.

Pretty thorough review of fluid management on openanesthesia.org

2) Nausea. When to treat, how to treat and at what dose.

3) Standard pn orders: pain killers, sleep aids and antiemetics aka how to reduce nighttime calls from nurses by 25%

4) “Reflex” antibiotic choice for routine inpatient infections.

http://www.bpac.org.nz/Supplement/2013/July/antibiotics-guide.aspx /u/ChristianM and /u/ive_been_up_allnight

5) Initial work-up and treatment of dyspnea. (more realistic to approach by symptoms as, unfortunately, you first have to diagnose whats wrong. E.g. heart failure, pulmonary edema, embolism, COPD, pneumonia).

6) Initial work-up and treatment of oliguria/anuria.

7) A sensible initial approach to suspected ileus.

8) Blood. When, how, why to replace.

9) Pain. Optimal management without inducing narcosis.

Managing cancer pain: Frequently asked questions: CCJM

10) Potassium. When, why and how to shift or replace.

A review on both potassium and sodium disorders by Dr. Strong /u/ericstrong (Not reposted in 12) hyponatremia but applies there as well) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYojB5NEEakXVIAapcSEleP4doUdHVtld

11) Hyponatremia. Most common electrolyte disturbance, commonly mismanaged.

12) Resuscitation aka commit the ACLS algorithms to memory.

Current ACLS guidelines. https://www.acls.net/aclsalg.htm

Would love a video series, interactive cases etc.

13) Basic EKG interpretation.

Whole EKG video courses

A whole free youtube EKG video review course by meddit’s own u/ericstrong

An alternative EKG course that takes you through all the basics. This however has no free version and costs 96$ a year. The quality is amazing. Here are 6 basic sample videos on youtube. The paid course is available on http://www.ecgteacher.com/

I have to admit I haven’t used this course personally but his free youtube videos are on-point and he seems like a good teacher. Also behind paywall. Free youtube samples are here. The full course can be found here https://www.ecgacademy.com.

EKG video cases

Amazing case-of-the-week emergency medicine EKG videos on youtube by Dr. Amal Mattu

– If you like Dr. Mattu’s cases (and you most certainly will) he is still posting every single week on his new site https://ecgweekly.com. It costs 4 starbucks coffees a year and is going to save someones life.

Practice EKGs with answers

Watching videos isn’t enough, you still have to grind out EKGs to keep your game strong. Visit http://ecgmadesimple.com and http://ecg.bidmc.harvard.edu/maven/mavenmain.asp for this.

EKG blogs

I recommend signing up for some kind of RSS feed (e.g. https://feedly.com/) and subscribing to the following EKG blogs:

http://hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.is (Dr. Smiths ECG blog)

http://www.ems12lead.com

http://ecg-interpretation.blogspot.is

http://jhcedecg.blogspot.is

EKG resource libraries

Life in the fastlane has a nice resource to look up a specific EKG finding, criteria or concept.

14) Know when to order ABGs and how to interpret them.

Almost too detailed video lecture series on ABGs and how to interpret them by Dr. Eric Strong (/u/ericstrong)

Practice makes perfect. ABG interpretation generator. https://abg.ninja/abg
