WikiPremed is hosted by the Wisebridge Publishing Company.

Any Wisebridge printed item is also available as a free download which may be freely copied for commercial or noncommercial purposes.

Wisebridge Publications are much, much less expensive than ink jet cartridges, even less expensive for teachers than using the school copier . Our books are nicely bound and well thought out in every way.

Every printed version is accompanied by a free DVD containing every publication of the WikiPremed Project. The DVD is also free to any teacher anywhere in the world who requests a copy of it.

Organic Mechanisms Pocketbook

  • A Resource for Understanding and Retention
  • College Course Review
  • MCAT Preparation
  • Laboratory Reference

The Organic Reaction Mechanisms Pocket-Book is designed to assist premedical students with one of the most formidable challenges of undergraduate science and the MCAT, the reaction mechanisms of organic chemistry. Presenting the mechanisms in a clear, straight-forward way, this unique book makes learning and retaining them manageable.
