Mind Maps for Medical Students

Product Information

Mind Maps for Medical Students is a small, concise and innovative way of reviewing central topics to clinical medicine.

Mind maps, in contrast, use a central theme in the middle of a page with categories and subcategories that radiate peripherally, thus making them truly non-linear. In medical school, academic information is available to the medical student through reading, visualizing, or listening. Its clean and simple interface makes it easy to create mind maps, and the app's intuitive gestures allow for quick navigation and editing.

They were then given an unfamiliar text passage, a pre-quiz based upon the passage, and a 30-minute break, during which time subjects in the MM group were given a presentation on mind mapping.Note how different colors were used to indicate different hierarchies (eg, green is primary hierarchy, blue is secondary, aqua is tertiary, etc. Because critical thinking takes time to develop, short-term changes in critical thinking was another limitation of the current study. Offering real-time collaboration and chat features, you can create and edit mind maps with your classmates, making group study sessions more efficient and engaging.

Over 100 maps are organised by body system, and include disease definitions and descriptions, pathophysiology, causes, risk factors, investigations, treatments and complications where relevant and applicable.

Mind Maps for Medicine is a key medical textbook for all medical students but particularly those who consider themselves visual learners. XMind offers amazing templates and an extensive library of icons, which will give your mind maps a professional and visually appealing look. The ability to integrate information by finding valid relationships between concepts allows students who construct either mind maps or concept maps to reach a metacognitive level[ 15]. The SNT group consisted of 65 subjects ( n = 65) and the MM group consisted of 66 subjects ( n = 66).

The GRE is a standardized entrance examination used as part of the US graduate-school admissions process. A GRE text passage was used in this study because the GRE is taken by students who are, in general, of a similar age to those entering US medical schools. A two-tailed independent samples t test revealed no significant difference between the means: t (129 df) = -1. All subjects were given 25 minutes for note-taking and at the end of this time period, all passages and notes were collected.

A free version is available, but upgrading to a premium plan unlocks additional features and storage. There are no significant differences in mean scores between groups on both the pre-quiz (quiz 1) and post-quiz (quiz 2). Perfect for the visual learners but also learners like myself who did not think they were visual learners but were taken aback by the clarity of presentations. In graduate medical education, West et al[ 17] used the concept map learning strategy developed by Joseph Novak[ 18] in resident physicians, and studied the validity and reliability of concept mapping assessment (CMA). Mind maps can be used as a teaching tool to promote critical thinking in medical education by encouraging students (adult learners) to integrate information between disciplines and understand relationships between the basic and clinical sciences[ 21].
