Algorithms - A way to memorise

Memorising scores are very difficult, creates ultimate confusion when you memorise say, different trauma scores etc. The only way out is to find out the scores which are in regular use in practice and practice imaginary patients. A Medical Algorithm is any computation, formula, survey, or look-up table, useful in healthcare which helps you remember better.  http://www.medal.org gives lots of algorithms and scores. You can practice the scores repeatedly and memorise them better. Registration is free and only after registration you can access all the algorithms. You can even download the .xls files or try their online calculators. Also arranged subjectwise.  More than 10141 algorithms, organized into 45 chapters, are available as spreadsheets which can be opened in your browser.
