Done by Dr. Maryam Altayeb This page is a catch-all of the knowledge I have gathered in medicine, and highlights important concepts tested in exams (shelf & board) — divided by specialty and topic.

Resources used: UWorld Qbank (Step 1 & Step 2), AMBOSS, Boards & Beyond, Osmosis, First Aid for the USMLE, UptoDate, Alfaisal University Lectures & my notes

<aside> 📢 I tried to include as many topics as possible but this list isn’t exhaustive! note: the coloured topics are commonly asked about during exams ★ = must know topics, do not skip them!
