Clinical Reader
A very interesting and helpful site , mentioned in the KillerStartups blog. It includes a quality collection of accessible clinical, scientific and health literature. A wealthy collection of videos and podcasts are available as well.

SciVee : YouTube for Science

SciVee is about the free and widespread dissemination and comprehension of science. Created for scientists, by scientists, SciVee moves science beyond the printed word and lecture theater taking advantage of the internet as a communication medium where scientists young and old have a place and a voice.

YouTube and Tutorials

YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. YouTube allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.YouTube.com and across the Internet through websites, mobile devices, blogs, and email.

YouTube can be used also in medical education by viewing some of the posted videos as tutorials. For example, I searched for Cataract or Phaco , retrieved a valuable videos.

I also tried (Clinical or medical) examination , which is an interesting subject for 1st and 2nd year medical students, and found good resources, as well.
Search and enjoy viewing !!!

Using the Internet in Educating Science & Medicine

The Virtual Labs Series produced by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute were recognized as the best multimedia products designed to use the Internet to educate about science and technology. Below are links to the labs


The Cardiology Lab
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/vlabs/index.html
The focus of this lab is on heritable diseases of the heart. You are cast here as a virtual intern to accompany a doctor examining three different patients. Each patient is examined using more than one diagnostic tool, and at each stage, the doctor will invite you to examine the patient yourself and ask for your opinion.

The Neurophysiology Lab
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/vlabs/index.html
Record electrical activities of individual neurons while you deliver mechanical stimulus to the attached skin. Inject fluorescent dyes into the neurons to visualize their morphology. Identify the neurons based on the morphology and the response to stimuli, comparing them to previously published results.

The Immunology Lab
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/vlabs/index.html
Components of the immune system called antibodies are found in the liquid portion of blood and help protect the body from harm. Antibodies can also be used outside the body in a laboratory-based assay to help diagnose disease caused by malfunctions of the immune system or by infections. This virtual laboratory will demonstrate how such a test, termed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), is carried out and show some of the key experimental problems that may be encountered.
