You Are In Medical School.. Now what?
If you found this site useful , feel free to use the link above!
*insert name of medical school* Wants to know your location... Cos you made it !
Now that you are here you must be both excited and chuffed with yourself.
As you start to settle down and get through the first few weeks of messing around and finding friends you may start to ask questions such as:
How do I learn all of this stuff?
Do I need to memorise everything?
What is the most efficient studying method?
Do I get to have a life though?
How many hours should I study for?
Read below for Medical School Resources and general tips to get you that degree youve been working hard for. Safe to say.. you wont be missing the UCAT.

Leicester Med School
So here I have compiled resources made by medical students to get you through the exams.
The links should take you to a download link , most files are either pdfs or notability notes.
Exam Structure
Year 1 - ESA 1 , ESA2 + MOCK OSCE
Year 2 - ESA 3, ESA4 +OSCE
Year 3 - EOY3 + OSCE
Year 4 - EOY4 + OSCE
Year 5 - Finals + OSCE
cOLOURFUL NOTES
Now the origin of these colourful notes is unknown, many rumours have been spread.
These are useful summary notes for each topic which can be useful in the run up to exams or to scope out topics before going through them during the year.
Be wary of spelling mistakes and in some cases incorrect information. Do not use this as your main source of revision but as a supplement.
NOTE : some information is from the older curriculum, use your learning outcomes to guide you.
OTHER resources
Pre-Made ANKI Collections
Use these decks with caution and more of a supplement to your own learning. It covers most of the curriculum but a few gaps are present some bigger than others. Click the image with red book for the links.

All 3113 cards I made in between making youtube vids, eating takeaways, going to the gym, avoiding revision, revision , enjoying the outside, modding my car etc.
Took alot of time but here they are for you to use :)
hopefully you can make more out of it than me
Year 4 (added Nov 2023)
All 3459 cards I made as I could whilst hanging onto the degree. Balancing enjoying myself and stressing for exams.
4th Year was an interesting one..
I am far too tired to list what exactly is in here but from what I remember its basically all the goodies you need. OPIC, Psych, Paeds, Neuro etc etc Includes psych flashcards using the popular psych handbook everyone raves about.
Anyway, my advice to those who are still medical students. Enjoy your freedom.. it may be a bit more limited once you get out..
But hey atleast you get paid once you graduate :)

Also the free version of Wix only allows 10 comments, so hats off to you guys who made it !
I have added another comments section below so maybe that works for the time being
Hi, thank you so much for these! is there any chance you still have the MEH notes/anki for 1st year please? as not included on mega and the link on the icon does not work :( Thank you :)
Hi! Thank you so much for these! Is there any way I can organise them by session? For example, did you create all of session 1 cards on the same day? If so I could arrange the cards by date and seperate them that way.
You got me through 3rd year, THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you so much for all the content here! Everyone is still loving and using these <3
Welcome to comments section 2.0 , hope Uni is going well , I am starting to miss the shared housing situations and the shenanigans that brings with it, being plonked in random places ive never heard of, lectures I would fall asleep in and ending a long day on a nice Peri grill supreme burger meal ... ahh the good old days
