Summary Sheets

Medical undergraduates face a huge task in learning enough detail on all the various clinical topics in order to pass the final exams. Students are often at a loss to know how much they are expected to cover and what level of detail is required. First in Medicine uses the unique approach of providing (in most cases) a double A4 page outlining key facts on clinical topics (the 'Summary Sheets'). As these documents are in the early stages of development, there may be additions / omissions to be made over time. Feedback is always welcome and can be made using the 'Contact Us' page.

The notes are an amalgamation of notes from textbooks, internet resources and hospital teaching. They have been written by the site owner during his time as a medical student and as such should hopefully prove to be a useful peer-written resource.
As always, any mistakes contained within the summaries are my own.

We are in the process of recruiting senior reviewers (usually senior SHOs / SpRs) who are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Summary Sheets. They are also given the task of making the notes as clinically ‘life-like’ as possible (eg treatment sections: unlike textbooks that simply provide a list of possible treatment options, First in Medicine aims to provide facts that reflect what actually happens on the wards). Sections that have a senior reviewer are clearly marked and with time, all sections will have a designated senior reviewer.
