So, You Want To Be a Doctor? blog is Dr. Daniel Williams? sort of an online publication of lectures and other informative articles and content for medical students and aspiring med students in various fields. The entries are basically downloadable transcripts of his lectures, some of which even have videos and audio files.

What I liked about Medical Mastery

The blog is quite easy to navigate. There are tabs at the top of the pages for those who might want to read testimonials, know more about the blog administrator, inquire about the pricing, and others. At the side bar of the homepage are links to lectures on various topics about medical education, med schools, med admission, and even medicine and medical practice. The lectures are practical information that would really be of great help to students studying medicine and other related disciplines. The most commonly used tags are also displayed on the home page to facilitate easy searches. There is also an option for search so you could easily find lectures or articles that you need.

Each lecture comes with options for downloads of audio files or lecture transcripts. Aside from topics such as MCAT practice tests and test techniques, test anxiety, and med school interviews and admissions, there are also self-help and inspirational articles for med students and hopefuls. There?s this article on MCAT verbal reasoning, which convinced me that the lectures would really be helpful. An entry entitled the “15 Things Every Future Doctor Must Know” lists the articles and lectures that would guide a med student or aspiring med student through the whole “course.”

Suggestions for improvement

Apparently, with the use of videos and mp3 files, the use of media is maximized, although the blog could still do with more photos for a more interesting read and browsing. A little more spice in the layout and array of entries would also do to avoid making the blog look quite boring.
