Mind Maps for Medical Students

Product Information

The HSRT has been extensively studied in health professional students and working professionals[ 14, 31]. Descriptive statistics of post-HSRT scores for all subjects ( N = 131) were as follows: total ( M = 23.

Mind Maps always feature in my revision and this book creates the perfect mark scheme to my revision maps. The data of the present study build upon those of previous studies [ 25, 26] and should provide a springboard for those interested in investigating the effect of mind mapping on critical thinking and clinical reasoning during medical school and beyond. Additionally, requiring MM subjects to learn mind mapping may have created contextual interference that hampered short-term retention as demonstrated by the results of the post-HSRT; however, this may actually promote long-term retention as noted in the contextual interference literature[ 32]. All subjects were matriculated, first-year medical students and the study was conducted on a half-day during their orientation. The fact that no significant difference was found between groups may lend support to the utility of mind mapping in medical education.Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Future studies should be designed to allow subjects to create multiple mind maps so that they can gain proficiency in the technique. Many learning strategies, such as case-based learning and PBL, assume the learner is committed to lifelong learning and will integrate previous knowledge with newly acquired knowledge[ 10, 11]. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.

With over 100 maps included, the book will be invaluable throughout medical studies and particularly useful in the pressured run-up to final exams. I am a GP trainee and found this a very useful summary but also the medical students I teach loved it and found it perfect for clinical medicine. Yet, despite the lack of exposure to mind maps and their novice status, subjects in the MM group were able to integrate, and ultimately, retain enough information so that they did not score significantly less than subjects in the SNT group. An innovative, visual textbook for medical students to help learn and understand core medical conditions.

This baseline quiz was used as a covariate to account for potential differences between the groups prior to initiating any note-taking strategy.

SNT is defined as any study strategy that does not rely on reorganizing information using architecture commonly seen in a concept map or mind map[ 25].Where appropriate the mind map is followed by additional reference information to remind you about, for example, risk assessment tools, staging criteria, and treatment algorithms. In medical school, academic information is available to the medical student through reading, visualizing, or listening.
