Stat Pearls is a good fit for me. Taking charge of my own revision and education has changed my life in regards to the satisfaction of revising, learning new topics, and contending with the challenges I have with multiple choice questions; but most importantly, I see a vast improvement in my clinical acumen while improving my open mind approach without which, leads to confirmation bias in the emergency department.
