Medical Resources
Over the course of my time in medical school, I have made a number of resources that are helpful for revision and as a quick reference when on the wards. I can't guarantee the accuracy of any of the files, but they're what I have used to study for and pass all of my exams, so they were good enough for me! Some are better quality than others. All images are the property of their respective owners.
Clinical Summary Sheets
Below is a collection of summaries for various examinations, investigations and other clinical tidbits that I have made during medical school. The physical examination summaries are just that - summaries, so they may skip details, particularly on the techniques for doing certain steps. I use these when practicing exams to ensure that I haven't forgotten to check for important signs.
The other summary sheets are mainly for important investigations, particularly those that I have been assessed on. As such, they contain the detail I was required to know at the point at which they were last updated, and so are most certainly not exhaustive documents.
