Clerkship Years: Helpful Online Resources for Students

Nowadays books lag behind in updates (and sometimes forget they are addressing medical students not professors who understand everything about a topic) and reliable medical websites more than make up for it. The following are helpful every step of the way for students in their clerkship years (they include references and are reliable as sources to study from):

1. OSCE stop: One of the best resources for OSCE and DOCEE. It has many examination and history-taking checklists that we are not provided with for internal medicine, pediatrics and OBG especially - among many others.

2. Geeky Medics: Has not only OSCE checklists but also explanations for many subjects in surgery, medicine and emergency.

3. Learn Pediatrics: Many of us used this site for studying for the DOCEE. It tells you how to approach common pediatric problems by giving you the gist of things (as opposed to the endless blabber in many pediatrics reference books).

4. Dr. Smith's ECG Blog: This is not so much for studying purposes as learning and practicing ECG. Different interesting real patient cases are posted regularly with their ECG findings as well as any other investigation done.
