Are there any med students/MDs, who would be willing to share some tips about organizing knowledge in Obsidian?

Currently I have PKM set up as:

1. **Main note:** table of contents
2. **Within main note:** notes for each specialty plus general category
3. **Within each specialty note:** notes for symptoms, diseases, procedures

**I don’t use any specific plugins or themes**. Are there any that would be useful in my case?

Also, I would like to customize my page view. Is there a way to have locla graph view always visible but as a small window in the bottom right corner?

I’m not a medical doctor myself but I’m a psychologist with a keen interest in neuroscience: brain mechanisms, networks, areas, cognitive functions etc.

You can use your PKM vault for advanced indexing. For example you may have an “Amygdala” note with a backlink section that consists of every paper that is about Amygdala.
