These three sites will tell you everything you need to know:\nhttp://prehealth.uchicago.edu/handbook/toc.html\n\n\nAmherst has an excellent "Health Professions" page on its web site with many links to information about what medical schools look for in applicants and how best to prepare for medical school and other health profession grad programs such as dentistry, veterinarian school and pharamacy school. http://www.amherst.edu/~sageorge/health.html\n\n\n\nSyracuse University has an excellent website of links to information and associations in for a variety of health related professions:\nhttp://hpap.syr.edu/intsites.htm\n\nCarolyn Lawrence, www.admissionsadvice.com

Try taking a class from kaplan, princeton review or get a book on the topic from your library or bookstore.

I would think that any local medical center or hospital could offer materials for this type of research.  The medical section of the University library would also be an excellent resource.  Online is allows a good place to start though.

I agree with Chandni above.\n\nAlso: sometimes getting a copy of previous/sample USMLE exams might prove worthwhile.  Speak with others who have successfully taken the exam.  And, lastly, take a peek at Part 1 of the National Board Exam.  It also covers the first two years.

The Institute for Supply Management is a great resource. They will administer the test through Prometric. I am actually signed up to take the first module May 20th. There are about 2500 locations to take the test throughout the US (assuming that is where you are) and other locations worldwide. \n\nThey also offer a wide variety of study materials for purchase, however, they recommend you do not solely rely on them. So far, I have the study guide and the diagnostic kit along with the Purchasing Handbook. \n\nISM is a very reputable instutition, if not the most reputable outside of an actual university. If you become a member, you get a fairly nice discount. Each of my modules are costing me (actually, my company) $120. Hope this helps!\n\nAddition: I should note, you have to take 4 modules before you can actually get the certificate. I am not sure how much you know about the certification. You also are required to have 5 years of experience before they will allow you to apply for the certificate. ISM is a great place to get all of it done in one location instead of having to go between organizations.

For anatomy:\nhttp://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html\nhttp://www.mic.ki.se/Anatomy.html\n\nFor physiology:\nhttp://physiologyonline.physiology.org\nhttp://www.mfi.ku.dk/ppaulev/content.htm\nhttp://www.mhhe.com/biosci/ap/foxhumphys/student/olc/\n\nI could be more helpful if you were more specific, because anatomy and physiology, especially physiology is too much to be contained in a website, not even in huge text books (I have two more-than-a-tousand-page text books on physiology and sometimes I dont find the information I want).\n\nMy suggestion is that if these websites weren't any helpful, then post the questions and i may be able to answer some of them.\nGood luck.

You asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to answer them all:\n\nFirst, the MCAT is just a test required for entry into medical school... if you are already in medical school and are coming to the US for residency, you don't have to worry about it.\n\nThe USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) is required for medical licensure.  It is broken up into 3 steps.  Generally, US medical students take Step 1 (basic science knowledge) after their 2nd year of medical school, Step 2 (clinical knowledge & mostly diagnosis-focused) after their 3rd year of medical school, and Step 3 (clinical knowledge & mostly managment-focused) after their first year of residency.  Step 2 is broken into 2 sections- Clinical Knowledge (multiple choice on computer) and Clinical Skills (12 standardized patients in an office setting).\n\nIf you are going to be graduating from medical school in India, and then applying for residency here in the US, you will take both Step1 & Step2 before applying (you don't have to schedule them with any time between, although it would probably be helpful to keep a month between for studying).  You don't have to worry about Step 3 until you start residency.\n\nLike stated by the other answerer, go to usmle.org to apply.  All of the tests are very expensive, around $500 each, but the exact prices will be on that website.  The tests are conducted at Prometric Testing facilities, and there are so many of these that you won't have to travel far to get to one from any US location.  The Step 2 Clinical Skills, however, is only located in 5 cities in the US so you have to schedule this one a few months ahead of time to be assured you get the location & date you want.  Basically, for all of them, you apply at usmle.org and they mail you a scheduling permit after 2-4wks that you then use to schedule your test online.\n\nNow, about preparing- there are many Review books for preparation.  The most popular ones are "First Aid for the USMLE" and the "Step Up" series.  Kaplan is a very popular test preparation company and they offer an online question bank that most people subscribe to for a month or two for practice questions.  Find more information about that at www.kaplan.com .  Also, many foreign medical graduates take the 8 week Kaplan Review courses for the USMLE since they generally have to get a much higher score than US grads to get the same residency spots.  The courses are very expensive ($3,000-$5,000), but look on their website for all of that information.  You can usually get boot-leg copies of the videos of the lectures they give from e-bay for less than $100.\n\nBasically, there is a lot of information you are asking about and I think you would benefit from looking around different medical message boards such as www.prep4usmle.com or studentdoctor.net\n\nGood Luck!
