Makindo is a comprehensive free global medical education resource with over 3000 searchable topics for preclinical and clinical students (GMC MLA and beyond), and also covers Preclinical exams, Finals, USMLE, Medicine, Surgery, Specialities, MRCGP and more. It’s open-access, non-profit, and designed to help learners study consistently without paywalls. If you’d like to help make Makindo better, email makindo.info@gmail.com.
Why Makindo ? Well 10 years ago my 6 year old was doing a school project on the Moon landings. She wrote "one small step for man and one large step for Makindo" rather than Mankind. I loved it as a unique name and so here we are 10 years later still doing this global app for Makindo.
