Free Open Access to Medical Education.

The amount of reliable and mostly free content available online has changed the game of learning. As my peers and I continue to traverse this lifelong educational journey together, I have tried to curate a list of resources I have found useful (so please excuse the critical care bias) and maybe others will also find value in bookmarking.

Disclaimer: this is not an all-inclusive list, but I am always open to expand this list so if you have any suggestions, shoot me an email at GulatiU@ihn.org or DM on Twitter @udaygulati.
