The medical profession makes extensive and deep use of information maps in its study programs.  
This is the information mapping area of WikIT.  Information maps are diagrams that represent visually the way topics and concepts are related and organized.  They are used to understand and handle complex information, to generate ideas, to plan and to organize.
 
  
 +
Six sources of medical study mind maps are named.  Most 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 - Allergy Cases]]'''''
 +
* '''''[[Medical mind map sources - ICU mind maps]]'''''
 +
* '''''[[Medical mind map sources - madhero88]]'''''
 +
* '''''[[Medical mind map sources - Medic'All Maps]]'''''
 +
* '''''[[Medical mind map sources - MedMaps]]'''''
 +
* '''''[[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.

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

Six sources of medical study mind maps are named. Most 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]

Allergy Cases[edit]

Allergy Cases is a website tightly focused on allergies and immunology. The author of the maps on that site is V. Dimov, M.D., Fellow, Creighton University Division of Allergy & Immunology and the reviewer is S. Randhawa, M.D., Fellow, LSU (Shreveport) Department of Allergy & Immunology. The maps and information there are endorsed by two relevant professional bodies: The AAAAI and the ACAAI.

This article focuses only on the mind maps, but there is extensive reference information included on the allergycases.org web pages with the mind maps.

ICU Mind Maps[edit]

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

University of Dundee[edit]

Mind maps from the University of Dundee, UK, can be downloaded and saved and 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, though not making changes.
 
 
 
 
 
Lecture mind maps covering the following topics can be found at the site:
