So... If you're just entering Medical School, or are wanting to enter there is one very important thing that you need to know!
Studying, studying is king!
If you read my post on my daily life (Here it is if you haven't) you know that I spend my day's studying. Because of the large amount of information I am presented in class each day I need to learn a large amount of data in a very short amount of time. Because of this, I need to study in a way that is very efficient, without wasting any of that precious commodity, time.
We live in the age of information! You can find information on anything if you are willing to spend enough time. But if time is the most precious and limited thing you have you don't want to spend it on hours searching for good, accurate, and well formatted information. I would like to suggest 3 websites that have all these things that I use in my daily study routine!
All these sites should have free trials of some kind or another, but if you like them and would like to subscribe I have been able to secure a discount for you with a couple of the sites! I'll put the links are at the end of each description! If you have any problems please send me a message and I'll try my best to help! (It also helps me out by giving me a discount as well if you sign up using them!)
This is probably my favorite of all these sites that I will give you. They have found the best professors who are some of the best in their fields from top universities around the world to teach each course.
The way they format it is also awesome! Each topic it taught in concise, high yield videos which can be played at two times speed if you just don't have a lot of time! Each video is then followed by a series of short questions that test you on the topic discussed to ensure that you understood what was talked about.
In addition you also get access to all of the powerpoints for the lectures and links to additional resources to supplement the videos!
Pros:
Short format and good questions!
Cons:
The topics do assume that you have a certain level of understanding of the topics being discussed.
Discount Link:
(25% off!!!)
This is a dense website, and if you need to brush-up on topics or just like reading a lot this is the website for you! The main use of this website is to give you a massive number of questions on every topic tested on in the USMLE test (medical school qualification tests) and spaced repetition of those topics.
Pros:
Questions! Lots and lots and lots and lots of questions!
Cons:
Reading! So much Reading!

This is a website for an awesome professor. He is brilliant and he knows how to communicate his knowledge to his students! Need I say more?
If you need a massive library of videos which puts the individual concepts of each subject you are taught into perspective of the body as a functional unit this is the best professor you can get! Whenever I get to a topic I am not really good at or I need to get a perspective of how it works with the rest of the body, this is where I go!
Pros:
An excellent professor who teaches you in the classroom with his students and knows how to communicate with you in a way that is understandable!
Cheap, one time fee for complete access to 700+ videos!
Cons:
The lectures are very long (45min-1hr) you can listen to them at 2 times speed but it is still a major investment of time.
No Discount code. :(
Hope this helped! Let me know what you thought below!
