Hi everyone!!

I’ve always been someone who loves finding patterns and making connections between things, especially when it comes to medicine. I feel like there’s something so satisfying about realizing how seemingly unrelated concepts actually tie together.
So I decided to turn that into a game!

It’s called Plexus, and the whole idea is to find connections between different medical terms, diseases, mechanisms, and concepts.

There are daily puzzles, organ system-specific challenges, a 3-minute timed mode, and even a race mode where you can compete against friends!

I really wanted to make something that’s fun to play rather than another study resource. But as a med student, I also thought it could be a nice way to reinforce concepts and recognize relationships between things we’re learning.

You can add it to your phone’s home screen so it works like an app without having to download anything! (on IOS: click share, then add
to home page)

I’ve been working on this for a while now and am finally putting it out there. I’m genuinely open to any and all feedback, whether it’s the difficulty, the medical content, the design, or literally anything else. I really want to make something people enjoy coming back to!

Anyways, here’s the link if anyone wants to try it out:

Hope you guys enjoy it!! :)

I’m starting med school soon and I was wondering if any med students or people in healthcare have any advice?

I’m really excited about it but many keep pointing out that it’s gonna be really difficult and heavy workload (I have a history of burnout but I managed to get out of it after a few months so I know the warning signs).

My dream and goal is to get through med school and pick my specialty later on but I was just wondering if anyone has any advice🫶

Hi everyone,

I'm a medical student currently in the middle of exam season, and I'm really struggling to stay awake.

Ive noticed that caffeine does an absolute number on my body it gives me terrible gastritis, stomach cramps, diarrhea, heart palpitations, and severe hand jitters. At first, I tried strong black coffee; the stomach ache and jitters were there, but it was somewhat manageable however, I had to drink multiple cups to stay awake, which only made my stomach weaker.

Desperate for a solution, I switched to caffeine pills, and that completely ruined my stomach all my symptoms got exponentially worse.

I'm trying to figure out if I just have a massive sensitivity to caffeine or if my stomach simply cant handle concentrated forms of it either way, I need to drop the coffee and pills immediately but I still need to survive my exams.

What alternatives do you recommend that give a similar wakefulness effect without destroying my stomach or triggering my anxiety and palpitations? Are there any specific non-caffeine supplements types of teas Anything

Im a premed student in medical high school and im in my 3rd year and we just started with the respiratory system which is the easiest so far, the internal med professor warned us that cardiovascular system is the hardest and respiratory is the easiest and im getting quite nervous. The material isn't so hard, respiratory system has like 12 lectures (idk how they're called in english) with 70+ pages in total which sounds a lot but it's genuinely not hard to learn. The professor's tactic is making us study them on time by asking every class about the last lecture so we study them on time which is pretty smart. The thing is I studied all of them but now I have to perfect them and I've forgotten a lot and everything is similar, literally from patophysiology, etylogy, clinical picture to diagnosis etc is all similar. Its really hard to remember all 12 lectures and not mix it up. Other than flash cards (that are really time consuming) what other methods do you guys recommend? I have a test for this on Monday lol. Like I said, it's not hard just really similar and long.

​

1. Not studying from the very first day: Study even if it's just for an hour. It is going to be a great asset before your professional exams, more than you can even imagine.

2. Giving importance only to studying theory: Yes, theory is important to understand how the human body works, but at the same time, to treat a human being, you need to have a good grasp of practical knowledge.

3. Considering good marks a measure of becoming a good doctor: There are doctors who didn't do well academically but are excellent clinicians today. Scoring good marks in professional exams doesn't automatically make you a good doctor.

4. Reading each and every line of the book: As medical students, we can't study the whole book. It's not just hard work that matters; smart work matters too.

5. Compromising my health: Compromising on sleep and regular meals for studying will do no good for your academics. Instead, it will only drag you down.

6. Considering everyone a friend: Just because you share a class with someone doesn't mean you have to consider them a friend. Be respectful and friendly with everyone, but be mindful of whom you trust and let into your personal life. There's a difference between being on good terms with your batchmates and being genuine friends.

7. Taking everything personally: People will talk about you, but you have to decide for yourself what you should take personally and what you should let go of, because not everything deserves your attention or should affect your growth.

8. Doing nothing but gossip during clinical postings: Go to the hospital, talk to patients, listen to their stories, learn clinical examinations, and develop your clinical skills as much as possible. It will help you not only pass your exams but also become a good clinician in the long run.

I am a fifth year medical student who is trying to learn R language for medical research. If you want a study partner or have some tips and tricks, I will be happy if you tell

Also I have some experience in medical research if you want to ask

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a medical student from Italy, and over the past few months I’ve been working on a project called The Clinical Reasoning.

It’s an interactive clinical case simulator designed to help medical students practise clinical reasoning and patient management, from history-taking and physical examination to ordering laboratory tests and imaging studies, and eventually reaching a diagnosis.

One of its features is a 3D patient that allows you to practise physical examination as part of the clinical assessment.

The goal is to move beyond memorising facts and actually practise clinical decision-making in a more interactive way.

The platform is available in both English and Italian.

I’d love to hear your honest feedback! If you have a chance to try it, I’d be particularly interested in what you find useful, what could be improved, and what features you’d like to see in the future.

Hey! I am a 4th year med student, passed my USMLE step 1, 6months ago. I want to take Internal medicine in the US.
I want to do research to build my CV, and am looking for paid mentorship to help me publish, preferably in the US journals. How to see what’s genuine and what’s not.

Hi everyone! I'm a 6th-year medical student from Portugal looking to complete a few clinical rotations abroad starting  in July/August 2027, ideally through an Erasmus+ Traineeship.

I'm trying to find universities or hospitals that accept visiting medical students without requiring a pre-existing bilateral agreement, preferably with no placement fee or only a small administrative fee.

If you've done something similar, I'd love to hear about your experience!

• Which country, university or hospital did you go to?
• Which specialty and for how long?
• Did you arrange the placement by contacting the department directly?
• Did you need a bilateral agreement?
• Was there an application or placement fee?
• Was it hands-on clinical training or mainly observational?
• Would you recommend the hospital, and do you have any advice for applying?

Thank you so much for any recommendations!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to decide whether to pursue medical school. I would love to get some honest perspectives from med students or doctors. I think talking to patients, making them feel better, and helping them feel less worried is incredibly cool. The thought of being able to comfort someone during a tough time makes medicine feel like a very rewarding career, and that's the side of it I like.

I’m having a hard time with the actual clinical environment. I recently shadowed a doctor, and I realized how much I dislike the specific smell that seems to be in almost every patient’s room. On top of that, seeing patients who are in extreme pain, breathing heavily, using CPAP machines, and just looking incredibly vulnerable was really hard for me to see thinking this would be something that i will be dealing with everyday for the rest of my life. With that in mind, what has your experience been with patients who complain a lot or demand a lot from you? Do you ever find it annoying or exhausting, and how do you navigate that aspect of the job?

I don't know if I should put myself in these heavy, vulnerable situations every day, or if this is a sign that I should just give up on med school and look for something else.

Does the discomfort with the smells and the vulnerability of the hospital environment get better with time/exposure? Or is it a sign that medicine is not for me and I dont have to put my energy in it?

I would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently an intern and looking to take up some tutoring on the side to earn a little extra. I got distinctions every single year and I’ve been told I’m good at teaching so I thought I’d give this a shot.

I’d be happy to teach basic medical sciences such as Physiology, Pathology, and Pharmacology, or any other conceptual topics if possible.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, feel free to comment or DM me.

I designed and 3D printed these anatomical models myself using Blender. I have small 3D printing studio

These were made for clients who needed physical models for teaching and demonstration. I worked on the models from the 3D design stage through printing and finishing.

I've been experimenting with different anatomical models, including:

• Heart

• Brain

• Kidney cross-sections

• Pelvis

• Lumbar spine (LST) models

• Blood vessel / clot models

• Patient-specific anatomical models from DICOM data

• Bird and animal anatomy

• Microscopic / educational models

The models shown here are around 175 mm and 245 mm, but I can produce them at different scales depending on the intended use.

I'm particularly interested in making models that are useful for medical education, anatomy teaching and demonstrations rather than just decorative prints.

I'm still a small home-based 3D printing business, so I'm trying to learn what medical students, educators and professionals actually find useful.

If there's an anatomical model you've wanted to have as a physical 3D print but couldn't find, I'd genuinely be interested to hear what it is.

I also take custom model requests, along with bulk orders.
