The Student Doctor Network (SDN) provides extensive information to guide students through the premedical curriculum, applying to medical school, completing medical school, and applying for residency. SDN also provides information for allied and other health professionals, such as dentistry, optometry, and nursing. SDN is a non-profit organization and offers this website to users at no cost. The SDN forums are moderated by medical students, dental students, and physicians. The forums are highly popular where students and residents go to share ideas, ask questions, or 'hang out'. Over the last 5 years, SDN has grown into a large online community of pre-medical and medical professionals. SDN members are willing to help new applicants, offer advice, or even review/edit application essays. SDN is the best and largest site for individuals currently in their medical training.

I have used this website to answer most of the questions I have about medical school and how to be accepted. I have received numerous practical tips and ideas and I have improved my approach to entering medical tremendously. Also through the online forums I have made numerous friends and contacts which gives me real life access to others who are going through the same process that I am or have already been through it. Not only does it give advice on premed sitiuations but it continues through medical school, residency to being a full fledged doctor. I have searched other premed websites and I have found them not nearly as comprehensive with the information available as Student Doctor Network. If you are wanting to gain access into the world of medicine as a physician or you are in medical school and have questions or need advice, this is the place to go. If the website can't answer your questions, it can provide links or websites that can answer it for you. What a great website! I am fortunate to have found such an informative place for gaining access into the world of medicine.

The student doctor network (SDN) provides a collection of resources for pre-medical and medical students (as well as other allied health students) that is simply unmatched anywhere else. Examples include The Big Guide to Medical School, a collection of links, interview feedback reports for both medical and pharmacy schools, as well as the newly added medical student rotation feedback section. The crowning achievment of SDN is the discussion forums. With well over 40 separate forums, there are opportunties to retrieve information from 40,000 other registered users. Discussions topic range from pre-medical student, medical student, international medicine, and residency (as well as many, many more). Quite simply, there is no other way to have instant access to so many other pre-medical students, medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. The site is volunteer run and free to the public. Personally, I have been a member of SDN for over 4 years. I started posting as a high school senior and continue to do so as I finish undergrad and move onto medical school. The site has made the difficult and confusing process of applying to medical school less complicated as well as given an outlet where similarly-minded students can discuss the pressures unique to a career in medicine. I strongly encourage students interested in a medical career to visit the site.
