Although operating theater attendance is recognized as an important component of the medical school curriculum, overall attendance at sessions was low. Attendance could be increased by ensuring students knowing what is expected of them, making them feel welcome, setting learning objectives, and allowed them to actively participate. These results highlight the need to ensure that the time spent by medical students in the operating room is positive and maximized to its full potential through structured learning involving all members of the theater team.
"Welcome to the Resident Exchange, a unique place for medical residents to share cases, learn and connect. Each week, we'll provide you with thought-provoking cases and discussions from a growing network of residents across various hospitals and specialties. The topics have been handpicked to provide keen clinical encounters, enhance practice-based learning and stimulate discussion via board examination-style questions. We look forward to your participation. "
"Welcome to the Virtual Interactive Case (VIC) system for creating simulations of encounters with patients in clinics. VIC cases are clinical reasoning exercises with feedback. Their role is to provide a bridge between theory and seeing patients in clinic (or ER), providing students with what Ericsson has called "deliberate practice" as a way of gaining clinical expertise. The strength of VIC is that it is optimized for rapidly creating a large number of cases, by using a patient template, and creating variations of cases with different differential diagnoses for the same presenting complaint."

"Welcome! This is a place where stories about Canadian family medicine are shared by family physicians, patients, and their communities. These stories deliver powerful messages about the meaning of being a family physician, and about the contributions of family medicine and family physicians to the history of medicine, health care and life in Canada."
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.
"BMJ Learning has recently launched a series of slide presentations on various medical education topics. You are very welcome to use them in your presentations if you wish. They cover a range of topics from curriculum development to setting up OSCE's."
"Welcome to Patient Pictures - clear, accurate clinical drawings with explanatory notes to help
you explain medical conditions, tests, treatments and procedures to your patients. Each page can
be viewed on screen, printed out or e-mailed to patients or carers as follow-up information. "
