This page has links to other sites and blogs that I think you will find useful. Each has a description next to the site or blog.
“Official” Medical School Sites
The Association of American Medical Colleges has great information about the field of medicine. The home page includes links to Careers in Medicine, which is a great place to start learning about what kind of doctors there are, what they do, and how much they make. You’ll also find links to MCAT information, financial information, and the MSAR.
The MSAR is a must-have for choosing your medical schools. You’ll find great information about the school’s average MCAT, GPA and other statistics. Be aware that rarely this information does differ from the school’s website, so you’ll want to double check with the schools, especially about individual medical school requirements. You’ll also find a good amount of this information, along with school rankings, on my list of schools page. I’m adding more schools all the time!
Medical School Blogs
Steve has done a great job of chronicling his time spent as a premed applying to medical school and throughout his medical school career. This is a great source of information to see just how the premed and medical school experience is!
This is another great chronicle of a student’s journey through premed and medical school. Justin is a “non-traditional” applicant, which makes his story particularly interesting.
One of the best premed blogs I’ve seen. You’ll get all kinds of tips on how to do everything from get the classes you need to preparing yourself well for your medical school interviews. Well-researched, well-written and a great read for any premed student.
A blog that chronicles the journey of a woman of faith through her medical school journey as a wife and mother. Great blog to see what it’s like to be a parent in medical school!
Great information that you’ll want to know about applying to medical school. Interesting content with interviews, FAQs and more!
This blog has a ton of useful information. It includes interviews about why different people choose their specialties, book advice, interesting clinical information, and other things you’ll want to know as a premed and medical student. A definite must-read.
Another great blog about the medical school experience. Lots of posts so you get a good feel for each stage of medical school.
Another solid blog about a medical student’s experiences. He even managed to get a medical school scholarship, which is very impressive! Also has some great advice on MCAT preparation, particularly about verbal reasoning.
Diary of a Caribbean Med Student
Just like it says, this one goes through Benji’s experience at the American University in the Caribbean medical school. A great resource for understanding what Caribbean medical school is all about.
