is there a website where you can read some of the things that doctors read in medical school?

Question

like diseases and physiology, but I want it exactly or very similar to what doctors read in med school.

Answer 1

Well, that depends. You can download medical student notes from certain places, such as the University of South Carolina's medical school site (It's got stuff on Immunology, Virology, Parasitology and Mycology), you can find it at: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/book/welcome.htm

You can check out the site MedicalStudents.com (www.medicalstudent.com/) for lots of different textbooks, including some used by US Army Medical Trainees and lots of others. It's one of my favourite sites.

Amedeo is a great organization. They're making free textbooks available for doctors and medical students. Here's their website: http://www.freebooks4doctors.com/

And the links to some of my favourite textbooks:
HIV Medicine 2006: http://www.hivmedicine.com/
SARS Reference: http://www.sarsreference.com/
Influenza 2006: http://www.influenzareport.com/

But there's hundreds more available.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You can find just about anything on the web. I am a medical student, and most everything we study can be found SOMEWHERE on the web, but don't believe everything you read online. Make sure when you read something, you check the source! Usually you should trust ONLY materials with an academic source, limit this to a university source or something on a government site, like NIH (national institutes of health) or CDC.

I'm not going and telling you to look things up to solve your own medical problems or give people advice. For any serious medical problem you should always consult a physician, but for your own personal knowledge, it's great to look stuff up on your own.

In medical school we use mostly lecture notes from professors, and textbooks to supplement. You won't be able to gain access to lecture notes, and I doubt you want to spend $150 on a text. But maybe you can find a text in a library somewhere. But yeah, the internet is a great source, the issue is just reliability!!! Wikipedia is GENERALLY accurate, but there are definitely exceptions to that, so don't take something on wikipedia as gospel without confirming it with some other online academic source!

Answer 3

All of the above are excellent answers.

Another approach...

Many academic medical libraries in the US subscribe to
medical textbooks, and "put them" on the Web pages
of the library.
Also, most medical journals are available by paid subscription
only (as the New England Journal of Medicine). Individual libraries
vary as to which of the over 5,000 medical journals they subscribe to...and "put" on their library web pages.

However, the above medical books and journals are only accessible by password (given to the medical school affiliates)....
but very often "freely" [no password needed] to anyone who physically goes to the medical school library.

At the medical school library, use their computers, and go to that medical school home page...there just might be some links.
[Or go to the medical school library's Web page at home..
and check out their restricted access collection...you will get information and titles...but not acess without a password]

Most US medical school libraries that receive at least some state funding may be used for education and research by anyone.
Just call ahead and ask for a reference librarian.
She or he can tell you what their policies are, if they have free textbooks online, and what kind of help they provide to the public.

Our library has a "bundle" called...called Access Medicine..
which has the full text of over 40 clinical and related science areas.

Again, the above answers are great, including the "caveats" about
diagnosing and treating oneself...and that reading the medical literature presupposes one knows how to read medical literature.

Answer 4

No. drugs is both technological information (learn from analyzing) and paintings (learn from journey). also, one calls for the ideal preparation to have the capacity to distinguish which medical literature is in reality valid, and if so, which subset of sufferers the learn is proper to. it would want to be no longer achieveable to figure this out on one's own. might want to you step onto a plane who's piloted by way of someone who realized the thanks to fly 'analyzing the web'? for sure no longer, you would possibly want to comprehend that attitude is lacking. That stated, there are regrettably medical doctors who supply up analyzing after ending up residency, and use pharmaceutical drug reps as their significant source of 'new' options, and practice drugs thoroughly concentrated on journey. This attitude thoroughly ignores the very shown reality that drugs, regardless of being an paintings, could nonetheless be in accordance to technological information, it really is advancing each of the time (albeit at diverse expenses for diverse specialities).

Answer 5

You could find articles on the PubMed website. You'll have to search an area of interest you're looking for. These will all be scientific articles, so if your not too familiar in the field, you may need to reread them a bit before they are understandable. I know I had to as well.

Answer 6

You would have to look up (what ever it is you want to look up) in a medical journal....such as "New England Journal of Medicine".

Mostly, they print studies. You would have to know how to read a medical study and know how to interpret the data presented.

Answer 7

just look up medical information or in that neighborhood
