A Curriculum Ignored? The Usage of Unofficial Commercial and Peer Learning Resources in Undergraduate Medical Education at a Canadian Medical School.

Commercial and student-developed educational resources are readily available, and may supplement or even replace aspects of the formal curriculum. Since this has the potential to impact what students learn and ultimately impact patient care, gaining a better understanding of the prevalence and patterns of use of these resources is of great interest.
