Thread: How to improve one's medical general knowledge?

Hello everyone

I'm a first year medical student and at times I realise that my peers have a greater medical general knowledge than me. For example, if we are shown a picture of a patient with a ribcage that is inverted, I may be able to identify this. However, a classmate will be able to say that it is a Pectus excavatum.

This has happened on several occasions and I'd like to know how I can expand my medical general knowledge? Any book tips?

Thanks in advance!

u dont need to read , u need to visit wards and opd clinics. more u see, more u remember and gain knowledge..first see there and then read and then again see.
