Medical profession's use of mind mapping
The medical profession makes extensive and deep use of information maps in its study programs.
Four 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:
- Medical mind map sources – ICU mind maps
- Medical mind map sources – madhero88
- Medical mind map sources – Medic’All Maps
- Medical mind map sources – University of Dundee
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.
