Welcome to First In Medicine

Thank you for visiting First In Medicine – a unique medical education website aimed specially at medical undergraduate students. This website is the work of Glasgow University medical graduate, Dr Harish Thampy and has been made possible with help from the Medical Protection Society.

The main purpose of the site is to provide peer-reviewed teaching material for medical students ie. providing educational resources for students that have been written by students. In this way, the site content is written at an appropiate level for those sitting final examinations. The teaching material included in this website has two main parts:

(1) Clinical Skills Guides: teaching material related to clinical examination technique. During his time as an undergraduate, Dr Thampy worked extensively with his faculty in organising peer-led clinical skills workshops which culminated in the production of basic guides to clinical examination.

(2) Summary Sheet Collection: an extensive series of notes covering all major clinical topics required for final examinations. We are in the process of recruiting senior reviewers for each section of Summary Sheets so that all notes are continually updated and revised.

These notes are not intended to be used as a sole resource for your learning. Instead, they are intended to supplement hospital based teaching and the myriad traditional-style textbooks available. Any mistakes contained in the notes are solely the author’s. Please feel free to use the 'Contact Us' form to provide feedback (good or bad!) to help continually revise the notes for future students.
