Please use MDnerd for its intended purpose (i.e. primarily as a resource to help/guide Australian medical students prepare for mid-year and final exams)

It is NOT intended and should NOT be used as a resource, guideline or reference for clinical practice or decision making. The resources provided should not be utilised and applied to patients looking for medical information or advice. If any of the information presented seems slightly questionable, please consult your senior colleagues, guidelines, research papers or personal doctor to enhance your understanding.

By using the MDnerd resources, you agree that MDnerd are not responsible for any actions you take or do not take based on the information provided.

I would like to acknowledge that the skills needed to practice medicine, surgery, and other healthcare roles are broad and complex. There is a limit to what you can learn from one resource. Developing your clinical acumen comes from real-life clinical exposure, engaging in tutorials and listening and asking your supervisors and colleagues for help.

We only know what we know and we do not know what we do not know!

I understand that there may be overlooked errors despite my best efforts, especially since research, guidelines and best practice are rapidly changing in Australia and even within states. If you would be so kind to point them out to me, it would be much greatly appreciated. Please, please do NOT accept anything as fact without questioning it!

Happy studying!
