Our selection of high-yield conditions within the field of internal medicine encompasses a comprehensive range of topics that are crucial for your medical school exams. These conditions represent a significant portion of the material you can expect to be tested on throughout your medical education. We have carefully curated this information to provide you with the essential exam knowledge required to excel in the most commonly tested conditions in internal medicine.
It's important to note that our focus is primarily on general internal medicine, and as a result, we have not included specialty-specific conditions in this particular compilation. For more information on specialty-specific topics, we recommend referring to the next FAQ question, which provides further clarity on this matter.
Will there be other products and services released?
The Internal Medicine Flashcards serve as an introductory component of our product range, designed to provide you with a solid foundation of high-yield medical school content. However, we are committed to expanding our offerings to encompass a broader range of subjects and formats.
In the near future, we will be releasing additional box sets that cover a wider array of specialties, ensuring that you have access to comprehensive and targeted study materials for those specific areas of medicine. This will enable you to delve deeper into the intricacies of various medical specialties, allowing for a more well-rounded education.
Furthermore, we are also working on developing resources tailored specifically for OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) preparation.

How accurate is the information?
We ensure that the information presented in our resources is sourced from reputable references such as the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) Guidelines and relevant literature. Our content is predominantly tailored to the curriculum followed by UK medical schools, emphasising the management of conditions within the NHS (National Health Service).
It is important to recognise that treatment protocols may differ based on the specific location where you are working or studying. Therefore, while our materials provide valuable exam revision material, we strongly advise healthcare professionals to confirm and adhere to the local trust guidelines once they begin practicing on the wards.
By utilizing our cards for exam preparation, you can familiarize yourself with the general principles and essential knowledge required for the management of various conditions. However, as you transition to a clinical setting, it is crucial to stay updated on the specific guidelines and protocols followed within your local healthcare system.
We strive to provide you with a solid foundation of information and encourage you to prioritize ongoing learning and staying up-to-date with the guidelines and protocols applicable to your practice environment.
Is the information up to date? How will it be updated?
The information included in our resources is sourced from the most current guidelines available at the time of publication. It is essential to acknowledge that medical guidelines are subject to regular updates and revisions as new evidence emerges and best practices evolve.
To ensure that you have access to the most up-to-date information, we commit to releasing new editions of our resources every few years. These updated editions will incorporate the latest guideline changes and revisions, reflecting the advancements in medical knowledge and practice.
We strive to keep our users informed about the availability of new editions and guideline updates. Any significant changes will be clearly highlighted and communicated on our website. This way, if you have purchased an older edition, you will be aware of the guideline updates and can make an informed decision about whether to acquire the latest edition.
We recognize the importance of staying current with the latest guidelines, and our goal is to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information possible. By periodically releasing new editions, we aim to ensure that our resources align with the most current guidelines, enabling you to stay at the forefront of medical knowledge and practice.

Will this be useful for all medical schools?

By focusing on the core concepts and key information that are frequently tested, our Flashcards provide a solid foundation for exam preparation. They serve as a valuable tool to reinforce your understanding of fundamental principles and to consolidate the key points necessary for success in medical school examinations.

Our aim is to provide a resource that can benefit students from various educational backgrounds, ensuring that they have access to high-quality study materials that support their learning journey.
Can I use the information on the Flashcards for my medical practice?
As mentioned in a previous FAQ question, it is crucial to emphasise that our resources should not be used as the sole basis for making clinical decisions. While our materials serve as a valuable tool for revising medical knowledge, they are primarily tailored to align with the requirements of medical school exams, including finals.
The information provided in our resources outlines the national guidelines that are commonly tested on these exams. However, it is essential to recognise that clinical decision-making involves numerous factors that may vary based on individual patient characteristics, local protocols, and specific healthcare settings.
We strongly advise healthcare professionals to consult and adhere to the local guidelines and protocols specific to their practice environment when making clinical decisions. These local guidelines take into account the context, available resources, and regional considerations that can significantly impact patient care.
While our resources contribute to building a solid foundation of medical knowledge, it is vital to integrate them with the most up-to-date local guidelines and protocols for accurate and appropriate clinical decision-making. By doing so, you can ensure that your investigations and management plans are aligned with the best practices and standards specific to your healthcare setting.
