The purpose of this website is to create a collection of free medical mindmaps in order to facilitate learning of complex topics. Mindmaping is a way of incorporating imagery, colour, and visual-spatial arrangement to your notes. These elements have been separately shown to improve recall of learnt material. Mindmapping allows for the whole topic to be displayed on a single page, which increases revision speed and allows you to see connections between different ideas more easily. The difficulty in using mindmaps for revision is that it often takes a fair amount of time to design them and there are many topics to be covered in medicine. In preparation for exams, it would be very difficult for a student to make a good mindmap for every topic. One of the aims of this website is to help you overcome this problem.

New knowledge is rapidly altering the basic sciences that are fundamental to the practice of medicine. To address this concern, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute convened a group of scientists, physicians, and science educators to identify the essential scientific background physicians in the 21st century will need. The resulting report, Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians, lays out a series of scientific competencies that students must master prior to attending medical school and medical students must understand upon completion of their M.D..

"Our study suggests there is no significant difference in themes addressed or levels of reflection achieved when students complete a similar assignment via online blogging or traditional essay writing. Given this, faculty staff should feel comfortable in utilising the blog format for reflective exercises. Faculty members could consider the option of using either format to address different learning styles of students."

"Creating an enabling and nurturing environment prior to and during residency training may be necessary to sustain the motivation to engage in health advocacy. Findings from this study suggest possibilities for a resident-guided participatory curriculum development process around health advocacy. Recommendations for promoting health advocacy in postgraduate training include effective integration of health advocacy in the curriculum by providing protected time and resources, providing experiential learning opportunities and fostering a community of practice for physician health advocates."

Based on these findings, streaming video technology seems to be a viable tool to complement in-class delivery methods, to accommodate the needs of medical students, and to provide options for meeting the challenges of delivering the undergraduate medical curriculum.

"Chapter 2 also discusses a series of clinical implications and recommendations for stakeholders wishing to engage these dynamic spaces. Chapter 3 reviews three recent administrative and judicial cases that have emerged from the inappropriate use of social media and Chapter 4 concludes with the main implications of and significance of the findings. Further research is clearly required to solidify the evidence on the use of social media in health care and to explore and document its economic, clinical, governance and tactical impact and utility."
