Medical profession's use of mind mapping
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:
- 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.

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.

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.” There is a separate article on Medmaps. |
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.
