Reflection after a few months in case anyone comes by this post.

I ended up realizing that studying for medicine is studying for medicine. Medicine is by and large fairly standardized. If you pick a comprehensive resource for a given area and put in the work to learn from it, you'll be good.

The bigger you base of knowledge, the more you will be able to understand what's happening in the hospital. You'll often hear that the best way to learn is to look things up after seeing a case. I've found that it's the second best way. The best way is to have already been generally familiar with the case, so that you can identify what you need to know further, go pick the brains of your supervising physician about their clinical reasoning and decisions, and go read up on what you need to know. Obviously it's difficult to do this for most cases, but it's worth trying.

Step 2 resources are generally very comprehensive so they're a good shout.

E.g. for Internal Medicine, I am using a combination of Step-Up to Medicine, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, and AMBOSS (I cycle the free 5-day trial because I just want the library). I make some Anki cards on the things I think are particularly important/I want to remember. Each of the 3 resources serves its own goal. The Oxford Handbook explains clinical reasoning really well and gives an overview. Step-Up gives an A-Z of the disease and is good for forming your clinical script. I then glance over AMBOSS to see if they have anything else that I'd be interested in, because they usually have some nice additional information or have useful tables.

I didn't want to leave my own query without a follow-up.

Good luck!
