Mnemonics to First Aid 2009 for the USMLE Step 1

While studying for this lengthy exam, I thought of some mnemonics to make the memorization a little less rote. Hopefully these creations of my warped mind will help you too. Nothing is cited as these are my own mnemonics plus a few formatting suggestions for the next edition. Everything is posted as JPGs for now because Blogger does NOT allow files to be posted for "security reasons" (see http://www.joedolson.com/blogger/upload_file.php).

I've already submitted everything to First Aid (so don't bother submitting them again yourself). We shall see in the coming months what gets accepted, if any :)

My goal for this blog is to stay true as best as I can to the title, Study Book Nook. I'll periodically post about what I'm studying or reading (for fun!) that will hopefully be useful to some of you who are reading out there. I'm a medical student, so some of the target audience is likely to be as well. But I'm also interested in biographies, business management books, children's books, comics, cook books, DIYs, memoirs, music scores, and various pop culture books (Twilight anyone?! I found them so addictive that I read all the books in 3 days) among others.

So hopefully I will post something that you may enjoy.
Thanks for visiting! I hope the following mnemonics help you.
