Medical school has too many resources and too little time. Source Control is a peer-ranked database that tells you exactly which resource is best for each topic — built by students, for students.
You're studying Heart Failure. You have Pathoma, Boards & Beyond, Osmosis, and UWorld open. You have 2 hours. Which one do you use?
You text a classmate. They say B&B. Your study group says Pathoma. Reddit says it depends. You waste 20 minutes deciding and end up using all of them superficially. Sound familiar?
Search or browse by organ system. Every major med school topic is here — from Heart Failure to Preeclampsia to Schizophrenia.
Each topic shows a ranked list of resources — Pathoma, B&B, UWorld, Sketchy, and more — sorted by average student rating. Not sponsored. Not curated by a company. Just real opinions from people who studied the same material.
Used Pathoma for Cardiomyopathies? Rate it 1-10. Add a comment if you want. Your rating is tied to a specific topic — not just "Pathoma is good" but "Pathoma is a 9/10 for this specific topic."
After 5 ratings, you unlock the compare feature. Pick a topic, then choose which resource was better in a head-to-head matchup. This powers a ranking system more reliable than averages alone.
Ratings are tied to exact topics, not vague resource impressions. "Sketchy is good" tells you nothing. "Sketchy Micro is 9.1/10 for Tuberculosis" does.
No resource pays to be featured. No affiliate links. Rankings are purely peer-generated.
Every rating improves the signal. The more students contribute, the more accurate and useful the rankings become for everyone.
Anyone with an account. We don't verify school enrollment right now — we rely on the community to self-select. If you're here, you're probably a med student.
Yes — and you should. Pathoma might be a 9 for Cardiomyopathies and a 6 for Renal Pathology. That granularity is the whole point.
No. Source Control is not affiliated with any resource or company. Rankings are entirely based on student ratings.
One rating is enough to appear. The rating count is always shown so you can judge credibility yourself.

Yes. Built by a med student, for med students. No ads, no sponsors, no paywalls.
