"As a medical student, I can certainly say that I probably don't know nearly as much physical exam technique as Sir William Osler taught his students - so I need an app for that! iOrtho+ is an app that has descriptions and videos of musculoskeletal physical exams for those of us who have a lot of physical examination skills to learn."

"Overall this app fulfills a need among surgical residents to use downtime to prepare for the in-service exam"

POM1 from the University of Virginia has links to instructional modules and videos demonstrating physical exam techniques.

A great handbook for test and exam developers.

Videos and notes regarding physical exam procedures by Stanford faculty.

"The app provides mini flashcards for over 130 bugs including high yield keywords and disease associations. Quizzes include vignettes that have more information about each organism, but this app still does not include all the relevant board exam related microbiology information. This app cannot be used as the only microbiology resource when studying for boards, but the app may be useful to quickly study on the go."

"When it comes to OSCE exams and presenting cases, practice is essential. In order to develop these vital skills, doctors and students need to gain vital experience. Thankfully, there is now an app to help do this."

"Interns touched their patients (which could be either a physical exam or just a handshake or a gentle, caring touch) during 65 percent of visits and asked open-ended questions 75 percent of the time. But they introduced themselves only 40 percent of the time, explained their role only 37 percent of the time and sat down during only 9 percent of visits."

Studying for an exam is now easy, simple, and fun with Cram. Cram's multiple-choice testing mode resembles the type of tests you're used to from images, to multiple answers, to timed tests. When your test is over, Cram grades and records your test performance so you can track your progress.

http://www.medicaleducator.... presents some key techniques to help pass your medical student exams

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.

"Because both are dyslexic, special accommodations had to be made."

This pattern suggests that students who are tested throughout the semester with high-level questions acquire deep conceptual understanding of the material and better memory for the course information
