Didactic Study Guides
Core clinical medicine topics for your didactic year
Cardiology
From ACS to arrhythmias, nail down EKG interpretation, heart failure management, and valvular pathology in one streamlined resource.
Dermatology
Identify lesions, classify rashes, and distinguish skin cancers. Covers inflammatory conditions, drug reactions, and autoimmune skin findings.
Endocrinology
Diabetes protocols, thyroid workups, adrenal crises, and pituitary syndromes. Untangle the feedback loops that trip everyone up.
ENT
Hearing loss differentials, otitis patterns, sinus disease, peritonsillar abscesses, and neck masses you'll actually see on exams.
Gastroenterology
GERD to GI bleeds, IBD to bowel obstructions. Covers liver disease, pancreatitis, and the diagnostic workups behind each.
Gynecology
Menstrual cycle physiology, abnormal bleeding workups, PCOS, endometriosis, STI screening, and cervical health guidelines all in one place.
Hematology & Oncology
Classify anemias by MCV, decode coagulation cascades, and recognize hematologic malignancies. Covers transfusion medicine and smear findings.
Infectious Disease
HIV by CD4 count, hepatitis panels, antibiotic selection, and opportunistic infections. Everything from gram stains to empiric therapy.
Nephrology & Urology
AKI vs. CKD staging, nephritic vs. nephrotic patterns, acid-base interpretation, and kidney stone management from presentation to treatment.
Neurology
Cranial nerve pathology, stroke algorithms, seizure classification, and neurodegenerative disease. Connect anatomy to clinical presentation.
Obstetrics
Preeclampsia protocols, ectopic pregnancy workups, labor stages, and fetal monitoring. Prenatal through postpartum in a logical flow.
Ophthalmology
Eye exam techniques, glaucoma types, retinal emergencies, and neuro-ophthalmology findings. Know when it's routine and when it's urgent.
Orthopedics
Shoulder to ankle, fractures to dislocations. Special tests, imaging reads, and pediatric ortho conditions organized by region.
Pediatrics
Milestones, vaccine schedules, congenital conditions, and childhood emergencies. Age-specific presentations that show up again and again on exams.
Psychiatry
Mood disorders, psychosis, anxiety spectrum, and personality clusters. Includes psychopharmacology with side effects and first-line picks.
Pulmonology
Asthma stepwise therapy, COPD management, PE algorithms, and PFT interpretation. Obstructive vs. restrictive made clear.
Rheumatology
RA vs. OA, gout crystals, lupus criteria, and vasculitides. Autoimmune workups and DMARD protocols tied to each diagnosis.
