Great, Free Online Revision Resource for Medical Students!!
As a member of Med School Guide, I feel I should inform medical students in the UK of a new revision resource that myself and a fellow final year medical student have set up.
The idea is that medical students become members (for free), read revision notes and presentations submitted by other medical students and then contribute some of their own revision notes and tips.
This makes revision for clinical and preclinical exams easier for everyone - simple!
So far there are 800 members on the site and over 200 sets of revision notes. I hope everyone finds the site useful, let me know if you have any problems.
