SST is back on business!

Assalamualaikum and hello to all my fellow friends,

As I mentioned before, we from the SST organizer is planning to proceed with SST on Internal Medicine and Obstetric & Gynaecology. Like before, the purpose of this SST is to create a book of our own effort to help each other in our journey to become a successful medical students together thus becoming successful doctors together, insyaAllah. One of the main objective is to be able to create this book before SSM postings starts so that we can use it for our study groups as a study material (not as reference book) and of course to be used as quick revision for our study before exams.

This time, there will be more improvements that we planned to do so that we all can benefit together. The improvements for this coming SST are:
  • all notes will no longer be hand written, must be in typed form to ease reading and looks nicer
  • the notes will be classified by system as well as by symptoms (easier to remember differential diagnosis) or will be classified in such a way it is more practical.
  • many tips will be included (especially for O&G)
  • will be more organized, complete and tidy (insyaAllah)
