EnglishWhat is Geeky Medics?
Updated
Geeky Medics is a medical education platform aimed at medical students and doctors preparing for exams and clinical practice. It offers free revision notes, OSCE guides, MCQs, videos, and AI virtual patients, with paid textbooks, question banks, and case collections available separately. The content is written in British English and is primarily relevant to UK medical curricula and examinations.
What Geeky Medics provides
The site combines free reference material with paid study tools. The main categories are:
- Revision notes — topic summaries covering clinical medicine, examinations, and practical procedures.
- OSCE guides — step-by-step station guides, including communication and counselling scenarios (for example, a myocardial infarction counselling OSCE guide).
- MCQs and question banks — practice questions for exams such as the MLA AKT and PSA.
- Videos — demonstrations of clinical examinations and procedures.
- AI virtual patients — simulated patient encounters for practising history-taking and communication.

Who it is for
- Medical students preparing for OSCEs, written exams, and clinical placements.
- Foundation doctors and trainees revising for postgraduate exams such as the MLA AKT or PSA.
- International medical graduates who need a structured refresher in UK-style clinical examination and communication.
How to use it
- Start with the free revision notes and OSCE guides for the topic you are studying.
- Watch the corresponding video if you need to see the examination or procedure performed.
- Test yourself with MCQs; if you need more volume or exam-specific practice, consider a paid question bank.
- Practise communication and counselling skills with the AI virtual patients or by working through OSCE station guides with a peer.
Limitations to keep in mind
- Content follows UK guidelines and terminology; it may not match other countries' protocols.
- Free content is broad but not a substitute for a full question bank if you are sitting a high-stakes exam.
- Paid resources require a purchase, and access terms are set by the platform.
