Hi, I've been off MomMD for a while, but it's great to be back... :wave:

Just thought I'd put in a plug for a piece I put together for AMSA. It's my take on "Juggling Med School and Motherhood," but I'm sure any number of you MomMDers could have written a better guide...

Please let me know if I missed anything glaringly obvious! :scratchchin:

best,

Jen

For nontraditional students, OldPreMeds is a great place to network: www.oldpremeds.org.

Check out my post in the general forum about the upcoming conference too!

www.MedicalStudent.com has many of the sites listed above and more. A great resource.

Also (if not already mentioned) webpath was GREAT for my pathology course: http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html

From the University of Alberta Dept. Med. site, Drugs & Drugs, online book on most commonly used drugs:

http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/drugs&drugs/

Textbook prices can be outrageous. I had great luck finding books on half.com.

1. Chemistry (I and O), Physiology (mammilian),Pharmacology, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Genetics (basic) - http://cool.mcgill.ca/

2.Histology and Pathology - http://pathguy.com/histo/000.htm

3. Physics for high school review - http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Default2.html and for college review - http://courses.dce.harvard.edu/~physe1b/

4. For surgeon hopefuls, like myself, to quench your thirst and to offer a noble excuse for procrastination. (Sorry I'm runnig late, I "was exptected" to observe in the removal of an acoustal neuroma....OH YEAH BABY ) a wonderful site where you can observe surgical procedures. http://www.or-live.com/

5. And for MCAT practice http://www.princetonreview.com/medical/testprep/testprep.asp?TPRPAGE=82&type=MCA T-TRY&adcode=7911

6. Another for MCAT http://www.e-mcat.com/

7. To get a better idea (only after viewing sites 1 and 2 above) of what the limited time frame is for learning material and what medschool students are speaking of when they say they are overwhelmed, I recommend the following site http://www.neoucom.edu/Students/ProfDev/PeerMentorResources/

8. For those asking me about anatomy I use the mlissa link above, thanks Melissa great site!!

(Site 7 above is "public access" by clicking on current students) clicking on the menu at right will show the course of study in detail, and show what is learned within each semseter. This is not the current schedule as explained on site, but brings light to the expression "being hit with a fire hose of informaton."


ENJOY ladies!!! and bless you in your decision/preparation

Step one and two scores and specialty choice:

This is just data from my school, but you all may find it helpful

the study stack thing is too elementary, not tailor made for usmle, more like nursing stuff.

is there any source/link for usmle specific flash cards?
