I was actually just finishing my orientation video for Med school when I stumbled on this post. I will be starting my first year in a few months, and I think this list of sites will be a great resource as I fight the urge to pull out all of my hair..

Very great compilation of sites here. I skimmed a few of them, and I was pretty impressed. It makes me feel a little better to know our future doctors are such well-written individuals.

I have a few med student friends (who never have time to hang out with me), and I always tell them they got the abbreviate wrong. If I were studying to be a doctor I would write it “medical stud,” instead of “med student.”
