In case you need inspiration, here are some examples of what people have contributed:

Renal:

Dr. Dulugos teaches histology early in the course. Learn it well! You’ll have a practical exam where you’ll rotate through microscopes and ID the structures. For this module, the physiology and the diseases are a lot easier to understand if you have a strong histology foundation....

GI:

The GI module, also known as Welcome-to-the-organ-systems (the 10 days of Hematology prior to GI are just an extended Winter break), was the longest, most densely-packed module that I have experienced in the first 2 years...

Cardiology:

This module, as complex and crazy as it seems, is so well taught and well organized it seems easy. The profs are great, the notes are great, and BUY THE TEXT.

The recommended textbook (aka Lilly) is small, to the point and tells you everything you need to know. It is awesome for the cases, and awesome for learning cardio. You cant go wrong if you just go to class to listen to Dr Hogan /Ellis and read Lilly.

Neuro:

If you're one to prefer a more in-depth explanation of neuro-mechanisms, try the Concise Text of Neuroscience. It's a great book of detailed descriptions, and time consuming but not excessive. If you're interested in neuro, this is a good investment. And there is always Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine....
