  • Welcome to The Path Through Med School by David Rosenstein
     - David is a third year medical student at Texas Tech and conceived of the idea of helping future medical students by documenting experiences in medical school. There is an opportunity for any medical student to share experiences that they think are important or that they would have liked to know about beforehand.
  • Washington University School of Medicine Residency Web
    - provides extensive information about the specialties for residency training into which senior medical students can match for residency training.

  • Welcome to Stanford MedWorld!
  • Medical student and resident abuse
     - Rick Stahlhut, MD MS, has mounted a webpage dedicated to this important problem. Here is the lead quote from the homepage, "Medical student and resident abuse is a serious problem. The "educational" system is designed in a way that makes it very difficult for abused students or residents to report the abuse, or even discuss it with their friends. Some of the abused blame themselves, in a as victims of child abuse often do. People outside the system don't seem to understand--they want their doctors "well-trained", and that means they should suffer. What they don't realize is the magnitude of the dysfunction and the long-term effect on physician personalities. Many patients think their physicians are cold and uncaring. I wonder why?"
  • Top the Doc
     - Doctor Samuel Pearlman is a Graduate of Jefferson Medical School who now occupies his time writing Novels, but takes time out to question and match wits with you on past and present medical problems!
    *** Remember these are just opinions you are still required to visit a practicing Doctor for a thorough diagnosis!
  • Francis Peabody's, "The Care of the Patient," is an important article for both medical students and premeds. Premeds can use it when they are composing their personal statement and can refer to it advantageously during the interview. Medical students in the doldrums can find renewed inspiration from it.  

  • Clinical Skills Database

Christof Daetwyler maintains this database at the University of Bern, Switzerland

This database is meant to serve as a guide to publicly available websites that focus on teaching clinical skills, particularly skills of physical examination and bedside procedures.

Sites were selected for an intended audience of medical students and house officers.

Sites have been reviewed and assigned a preliminary rating from 1 () to 
5 () stars, 5 being the best. These rankings represent an initial assessment of the overall utility and educational value of the site. It is expected that user participation in submitting comments and ranking the sites will help to further refine the ratings.

This database is an ongoing project at the Carl J. Shapiro Institute for Education and Research at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Please note that the site currently does not work with Netscape version 4 or earlier (you will get a blank page). Use Internet Explorer or Netscape 6.2.
