Unfortunately, there is a yearly subscription rate of $99. For those going into medicine or pediatrics, it is worth it.

PathConsult gives concise outlines of path topics with lots of images.  It has a searchable database, and best of all it has a “differential diagnosis” feature where you can compare up to 3 disease entities at the same time (on a single page).  Seems like a great way to study different diseases and recognize their distinguishing characteristics.

Mnemonics have existed almost as long as the medical knowledge itself. Many of these mnemonics float down from professors, demonstrators or other students. This site serves to expand the circles of sharing/exchange to a larger group worldwide. Also, by maintaining in a common source, it ensures that the knowledge will not die, but continue to be available to later learners.

MD Consult offers the most comprehensive information available in one convenient online resource. With instant access to full-text articles from over 80 medical journals and Clinics, 50 leading medical references across a wide range of specialties, clinically relevant drug information, and over 10,000 patient handouts.

Molecular Biology of the Cell is the classic in-depth text reference in cell biology. By extracting fundamental concepts and meaning from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and create a coherent framework through which non-expert readers may approach the subject. Written in clear and concise language, and illustrated with original drawings, the book is enjoyable to read, and provides a sense of the excitement of modern biology. Molecular Biology of the Cell not only sets forth the current understanding of cell biology (updated as of Fall 2001), but also explores the intriguing implications and possibilities of that which remains unknown.

Modern biology is rooted in an understanding of the molecules within cells and of the interactions between cells that allow construction of multicellular organisms. The more we learn about the structure, function, and development of different organisms, the more we recognize that all life processes exhibit remarkable similarities. Molecular Cell Biology concentrates on the macromolecules and reactions studied by biochemists, the processes described by cell biologists, and the gene control pathways identified by molecular biologists and geneticists. In this millennium, two gathering forces will reshape molecular cell biology: genomics, the complete DNA sequence of many organisms, and proteomics, a knowledge of all the possible shapes and functions that proteins employ.

The evolutionary approach influences the organization of the text, which is divided into four major parts. As it did in the preceding edition, Part I introduces the language of biochemistry and the structures of the most important classes of biological molecules. The remaining three parts correspond to three major evolutionary challenges—namely, the interconversion of different forms of energy, molecular reproduction, and the adaptation of cells and organisms to changing environments. This arrangement parallels the evolutionary path outlined in Chapter 2 and naturally flows from the simple to the more complex.

From the authors:

This book is intended as an introductory text for use in immunology courses for medical students, advanced undergraduate biology students, graduate students, and scientists in other fields who want to know more about the immune system. It attempts to present the field of immunology from a consistent viewpoint, that of the host’s interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microbes. The justification for this approach is that the absence of one or more components of the immune system is virtually always made clear by an increased susceptibility to one or more specific infections. Thus, first and foremost, the immune system exists to protect the host from infection, and its evolutionary history must have been shaped largely by this challenge. Other aspects of immunology, such as allergy, autoimmunity, graft rejection, and immunity to tumors, are treated as variations on this basic protective function. In these cases the nature of the antigen is the major variable.

The purpose of the Video Atlas is to shorten the learning time needed, to gain an accurate three-dimensional understanding of human structure. It is designed to show you, in the simplest way, the true appearance of the structures of the human body. It is not intended to be either a guide to the process of cadaver dissection, or a replacement for it!

Each of the six volumes of the Video Atlas is divided into a number of sections. Each section is divided into short sub-sections. Each volume consists of approximately 60 sub-sections. These vary in length: the average length is 2.5 minutes.

These are short, guided introductions to topics which are fundamental to gross anatomy.

The reader’s rapid assimilation of medical concepts is the key to the continuing success of this best-selling book. A caption explains the concept illustrated on each page, and a few simple sentences reinforce the concept with interactive (programmed) learning, which links to the following page. Dr Dubin’s light and entertaining style, known world-wide, makes learning enjoyable.

The Parasite Image Library is the image depository for the DPDx (Diagnosis of Parasitic Diseases), a website developed and maintained by the CDC. Our goal is to use the Internet to strengthen diagnosis of parasitic diseases, both in the United States and abroad.  The interactive and rapid exchange of information permitted by the Internet, allied with already available diagnostic reference resources, will enhance our capacity to address the global problem of parasitic diseases.

In this website, we outline the main components of the neurologic exam. The goal will be to demonstrate through streaming video segments how each step of the neurologic exam is performed. In addition, we will briefly discuss which neuroanatomic systems are tested by each part of the neurologic exam, so that its functional and practical relevance will be better appreciated.

…the Sylvius project, an eponym for two Renaissance anatomists, was initiated by S. Mark Williams, Ph.D. (Duke University Medical Center and Pyramis Studios, Inc.) with the mission of transforming neuroscience education through the development of innovative learning technology and methodologies.  A central goal of the project has been to create high-quality visual glossaries and atlases to facilitate the learning of human central nervous system anatomy.

Now in its Sixth Edition, this popular, practical text presents all the information clinicians need to use the EKG in everyday practice and interpret hypertrophy and enlargement, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, pre-excitation syndromes, and myocardial infarction. It is an ideal reference for medical students in ICM courses, house officers, or anyone directly involved in patient care, whether student, teacher, or practitioner. The book includes more than 200 facsimiles of EKG strips and numerous clinical cases…A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, an image bank, an interactive question bank, and an EKG image with explanation test bank.

This interactive ECG tutorial represents an introduction to clinical electrocardiography…The tutorial is organized in sections based on a recommended “Method” of ECG interpretation. Each section provides some didactic teaching points, often linked to illustrations, and an interactive quiz.
