Read chaptersWelcome to Makindo Medicine.

One topic. Three simple steps.
For example, begin with delirium. The same approach works for any topic you are studying.

See Homework & ExamsMake each session useful
A simple routine: read one small section, answer a few questions without looking at the notes, read the feedback, then write down one thing you would do differently next time.
Use the explanations to understand why an answer is correct, not only which answer is correct. Where clinical decisions depend on severity, contraindications or local policy, check the source and discuss uncertainty with your teacher or clinical supervisor.
Common questions
Do I need an account to start?
No account is needed to read the textbook or use the homepage search. Question-bank services and some class assignments may need the live website service or an account, depending on the feature.
Where is my study progress saved?
My Learning's reading progress and notes are generally saved in the browser you use. You can export a learning backup from My Learning; do not assume it will automatically appear on another device. Account-based question progress is managed separately.
What should I do if a question seems wrong?
Compare the explanation with current UK guidance and discuss it with your tutor. Some of the question material is still undergoing clinical editorial review. Do not rely on an unverified answer when making a patient-care decision.
Can I use Makindo on a phone?
Yes. The main book search, chapter pages and learning links are designed for phones, tablets and computers. If you lose connection, previously opened reading material may remain available, but live question and homework services need a connection.
