PassMED: Medical Finals Examination Revision

Internet Resources

This is a collection of websites that students have found useful. We have no affiliation with any of these sites.

GP Notebook : Despite the name, this site is not just for GPs. It contains the equivalent of a medical textbook, but separated in to bite-sized chunks ideal for reference. Indispensible.
PatientUK : Again a misleading title, as it contains much useful information about diseases for doctors in its "PatientPlus" articles.
Emedicine: An exhaustive texbook of up-to-the-minute medicine. Scarier than Kumar and Clark, it is for reference only.
Wikipedia : very good medical articles.

Surgical Tutor : aimed at the MRCS market, but if you pick your topics carefully (i.e. the basics) good for finals.

Clinical Tutor : a free website containing many MCQs. The problem is that despite there being 300 questions they tend to repeat when you do multiple tests. You'll see what we mean. The solution is to choose to do all the questions for one speciality at once: for example do all the cardiology in one go, then all the respiratory etc. A very useful feature is to turn on confidence intervals to discover whether you are good at guessing (only important if your paper is negatively marked) and thus if you should guess in the real exam.
On Examination : non-free site containing many MCQs/EMQs. The site started off as an MRCP revision site, and the quality of the MCQs for finals is sometimes a bit hit and miss. There are relevant MCQs, and they are all explained, but we found many of the questions not very relevant (for example the bizarrely high number of paediatric questions). With the MDU discount it is worth trying however.
123 Doc : another non-free MCQ site
Fleshandbones : free MCQs, but without explanatory answers.
PasTest : A new site containing practice questions and more. PasTest has a very good name for its comprehensive practice question books.

Ask Dr Clarke : Dr Clarke is famous amongst medical students for running revision courses. This website is useful because it contains revision material from the courses, as well as videos of examinations.
MedicalFinals.co.uk : Contains lots of information in various formats.
Revise4Finals : has some useful revision aids including guides on examination, elective planning, and revision notes.
Fleshandbones : access to medical images and some revision notes.
Wikipedia's attempt to write medical textbooks : Sparse at the moment but shows promise
