Revision as of 00:24, 15 January 2010

The medical profession makes extensive and deep use of information maps in its study programs.

Five sources of medical study mind maps are named. Some are extensive so we have made separate articles in WikIT. Links to these articles are given below in context, but are summarized here:

In making use of these maps, you should evaluate the sources and decide whether you can rely on their accuracy and completeness. Be aware that WikIT does not endorse or validate the maps and our editors are not qualified to do so.  

Study and learning[edit]

ICU Mind Maps[edit]

extract as sample only

One of the most significant sources of medical mind maps is Life in the Fast Lane, a website edited by a team of Australian physicians, with 353 detailed PDF files for download.



Given the size of the list, a catalogue with links is given in a separate WikIT article on ICU Mind Maps. They cover, in extraordinary detail, the following extensive range of topics in medical study:

  • Respiratory Equipment and Procedures
  • Other Equipment and Procedures
  • Antimicrobials
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Specific micro-organisms
  • Imaging
  • Laboratory tests
  • Monitoring and Other Investigations
  • (Also see the Respiratory section of Equipment and Procedures)

University of Dundee[edit]

extract as sample only

Mind maps from the University of Dundee, UK, cannot be downloaded and saved, but a viewer for the Thoughtograph software can be accessed from a link at the same site. This allows the mind maps to be viewed and you can interact with them – opening and closing branches and exploring different areas.

Lecture maps[edit]

This provides lecture mind maps covering the following topics:

Year 1[edit]

  • Cardiovascular Lectures
  • Genito Urinary Renal Lectures
  • Introduction to Systems of the Body Lectures       
  • Musculoskeletal – Action Potentials
  • Musculoskeletal Lectures
  • Respiration Lectures

Year 2[edit]

  • Cardiovascular Lectures
  • Haematology Lectures
  • Respiratory Lectures

Year 3[edit]

  • Ageing and Health Lectures
  • Dermatology Lectures
  • Life Cycle and Reproduction Lectures                   
  • Musculoskeletal Lectures
  • Ophthalmology Lectures
  • Renal and Urology Lectures
  • Dermatology – Medico-Legal Implications
  • Musculoskeletal – Concepts in Arthritis
  • Ophthalmology – The Red Eye
  • Renal and Urology – Urinary Incontinence
  • Reproduction Lectures

Clinical textbook maps[edit]

In addition, 220 mind maps derived from clinical textbooks are provided for the following topics:

  • Clinical medicine
  • Ear, Nose and Throat and Head and Neck Surgery
  • Head and Neck Neoplasia
  • Cardiology
  • Respiratory System
  • Central Nervous System
  • Blood Disease
  • Kidney
  • Gastrointestinal Tract
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Endocrine
  • Connective tissues and joints
  • Infectious diseases
  • Tropical
  • Systemic disease and the mouth

Medmaps[edit]

MedMaps UK is a site offering mind maps on medical topics to medical professionals. Quote “The purpose of this website is to create a collection of free medical mindmaps in order to facilitate learning of complex topics.”

It is accessible to professionals only. We are hoping to gain access for the purpose of cataloguing the contents here. Stay tuned.

Medic’All Maps[edit]

extract as sample only

“Cartes en médecine” is a site in French with maps covering:

  • Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD)
  • Cancer (Cancérologie)
  • Hepato-Gastroenterology (Hépato-gastro-entérologie)
  • Infectious diseases (Infectiologie)
  • General medicine (Médecine générale)
  • Medico-social (Médico-social)
  • Nutrition
  • Ear, Nose and Throat (Oto-rhino-laryngologie)
  • Pulmonology (Pneumologie)

These are covered in a separate WikIT article  
 

Madhero88[edit]

Branches of Brachial plexus

This collection of medical mind maps are sourced from the Wikipedia user page of Madhero88 and are here acknowledged as the work of Madhero88 (Maen K A), who has released them under the Creative commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.

Thumbnail and full sized images are here: Medical mind map sources – madhero88

Topics covered are these:

  • Alkaline phosphatase
  • Aspirin
  • Aspirin – Adverse effects and drug interactions
  • Axilla
  • Beta blockers
  • Brachial plexus
  • Carpal tunnel and carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Excess lead
  • Growth hormone physiology, summary
  • Hyperkalemia
  • Inguinal region and Inguinal Hernia
  • Lower limb muscle innervation
  • Lung cancer types
  • Metabolic syndrome mind map
  • Neuromuscular depolarizing agents
  • Neuromuscular blockers nondepolarizing agents
  • Patient history taking
  • Shoulder joint
  • Skull fracture
  • Smoking health effects
  • Upper arm fractures
  • Upper limb muscle innervation

Continuing Professional Development[edit]

Case management[edit]

Practise reference information[edit]

The Visual Medical Dictionary allows you to enter a disease, drug or therapy name and start exploring relationships. It yields a result in a form close to a mind map.

Organizing large medical reference sources[edit]

Navigating to appropriate sources[edit]
