Let's Learn Together - Medical Education Resources

Medical Education Resources
[Important Note: This is not necessarily an endorsement of every link, nor should any of this be considered medical advice. This is for learning purposes only.]

Some of the other articles/blogs on this website overlap (e.g.: Learning & Healing Are Intrinsically Connected, Living Is Healing: Part 1, etc.). I have a bias towards specific subjects (such as Austere, Emergency, Functional, Lifestyle, Nutritional, and other more "niche" forms of medicine), so some of the included links might be reflective of that.

I tried to stick with Free and Open Access Medical education (FOAMed) resources as much as possible. All of them are legal as far as I can tell. They are sorted into very general categories, but are not in any particular order.
