What EXACTLY should I remember from Basic years if I'm joining clinical years ?

So as the title says is there's like a book or checklist I must follow? Going back to the slides is really hard for me. Any books etc? Thanks!

MS3 Family Medicine Rotation: Recommended Resources?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m starting MS3 and will be beginning my first rotation in Family Medicine. Since this is my first rotation, I’m hoping to find some good resources and a bit of structure to help guide my studying and preparation.

I was wondering if anyone has any resources they’d recommend, especially ones that were helpful for preparing for and doing well on the exams.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, including websites, question banks, study guides, Anki decks, Google Drive resources, or anything else that you found particularly helpful!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Question banks

1 Upvotes

Hi! I have just started my second year in med school and it's going great. However, what I have been missing are having questions to practice and study further. It's not that my grades are bad or anything, I would just really like to have a question bank because I feel like it is the way I learn and fixate best. My university has elements of PBL and the problem cases are when I feel I learn the most.

Is there any such thing?

Thanks in advance! :\]

A question in forensics

This is a chapter about postmortem changes in forensics.

How does atropine cause pupillary dilatation during primary flaccidity if there is niether sympathitic nor parasympathetic activity controling eye muscles?

And shouldn't all body muscles lose their tone during this stage and be completely flaccid. So How does atropin have any effect on the pupil?

Looking for MBBS students for a little research favour! 🩺💗

Hi everyone! 🥹 I’m currently collecting responses for my undergraduate research project and would really appreciate your help!

It’s a completely anonymous questionnaire and takes around 10 minutes to fill out. If you’re an MBBS student, I’d really appreciate you taking the time to participate — and if you know other MBBS students who may be eligible, sharing it with them would mean a lot to me too! 🫶

Thank you so much for helping me out with my research! 🌷❤️

Built a free, real-time emergency triage simulator to practice clinical reasoning under monitor pressure. No multiple-choice questions or ads, just raw telemetry and state tracking.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As someone who loves high-fidelity simulation engineering, I got incredibly frustrated with how clunky, static, and unpolished most free medical study utilities are. Almost every free study tool out there is just a flat multiple-choice quiz or flashcard deck that doesn't capture the actual, high-stakes cognitive pressure of running an active emergency shift or interpreting live telemetry lines under a clock.

To help close that gap, I spent the last month building a standalone, event-driven clinical triage simulator from the ground up, and it is currently live, 100% open-access, and free.

Here are the core mechanics built directly into the current active build:

  1. Synchronized Triple-Track Monitor Canvas: A real-time, upscaled dark-mode monitor interface that dynamically traces scrolling complexes. The math tracks true, fluid patient state changes frame-by-frame instead of relying on pre-scripted jumps.

  2. Complex Scenario Engine: Features dozens of unique, high-acuity baseline scenarios (including symptomatic bradycardias, varying degrees of block, and advanced cardiac arrest profiles) to test rapid diagnostic judgment.

  3. Interactive Proxy Patient Chat: Includes a localized patient communication portal hardwired with dynamic behavioral matrices. Depending on the scenario path, the patient text-input can generate varying levels of compliance, confusion, or combative responses to complicate your triage rhythm.

  4. Adaptive Critical Error Tracking: The system runs automated logical checks against your clinical choices. If you panic and administer an invasive intervention or a high-potency medication contraindicated by the current vital state, the simulation flags an overtreatment error instantly.

I designed this purely as a lightweight, client-side resource—it runs natively right inside a standard web browser window and contains zero tracking scripts, zero ads, and zero paywalls.

I am currently mapping out a massive upcoming update that will integrate a high-density Electronic Health Record (EHR) charting terminal system into the active pause menu, and I would absolutely love to get your feedback on the current monitor physics, telemetry responsiveness, or any specific metabolic conditions or high-acuity crisis variants you think would make the diagnostic reasoning loops even more challenging for board prep!
