Abstract:
An increase in third-party commercial resources targeted towards medical students has led to substantial changes in the way students prepare for medical assessments. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to identify the third-party resources most used by medical students. A total of 1056 citations were screened with 19 full-text studies included. Twenty-two unique third-party resources were examined, with meta-analysis revealing the three most used resources to be First Aid, UWorld, and Pathoma. Medical faculty should consider curriculum adaptation to better cater to the learning needs of students and institute systems that ensure equitable access to verified commercial resources.
