How To Cite Resources In Medical School

For me citing resources is one of the least favorite things to do when writing a paper. You’d think I’d be better at it after two years but I still have to check how to do it right before I start citing. So I decided to create a post with samples that you can copy-paste and change the text that will hopefully help you with citing and save you some time. 

I use Vancouver style, but I’ll try and make examples of a few different ones since there are quite a few that are frequently in use.
