Product Description
This book is a primary review tool to prepare students for both the internal medicine clerkship and the end-rotation NBME shelf examination. This logical alternative to several limited-focus books blends a bullet-outline format students prefer in a review book with comprehensive paragraphs, as needed, for optimal preparation. Illustrations, charts, tables, graphs, mnemonics, and "Quick Hits" pearls for the clerkship speed and supplement learning. Ample content without superfluous detail enables students to readily evaluate and expand their knowledge of cardiology, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, hematology, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, genitourinary disorders, fluids and electrolytes, dermatology, and musculoskeletal problems. A new section in this Second Edition presents 100 USMLE-style clinical vignette-based questions with answers. A color insert contains over thirty full-color images. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and color photographs.

 A must have for step 2ck and step 3 USMLE August 12, 2008
a nice complete review book with no mistakes, professionally and friendly written i find it more than helpful for my prep for step 2 ck , with a bonus of the online subscription that comes with the book
cons: the hematology and renal chapters need to be more inclusive, yet its a review and not a textbook, overall 5 stars
 Excellent Resource July 6, 2008
Excellent book. Well written and organized. I used it during my 3rd year rotations with great success. Provides an easier read then the straight bullet format of some other review books.I have noticed the occasional type-o, but I would strongly recommend this book for 3rd/4th years.
I love this book March 8, 2008
This book is great for 3rd and 4th year rotations! Covers the important info about the most important diseases, without getting bogged down with too much extraneous info. There is also a great section that deals with how to work up common complaints such as chest pain or change in mental status, that is REALLY helpful on rotations. Also a great section on how to interpret EKG, xray and some physical exam pearls. I haven't taken step 2 yet so I can't say how helpful it is for that, but it definitely helps to fill in some knowledge gaps and is a great quick and informative reference. I would recommend it to any 3rd year student!
The best there is February 23, 2008
I used this for both family med and internal med clerkships. It is amazing. Everything you need is in this book. Read it, know it, and you'll ace the shelf exams.
This book is wonderful! February 12, 2008
I used this book during my MS3 internal medicine rotation. For a review book, it is quite thorough! Don't be fooled by its fairly slender size --- the pages are so information-dense that you'll likely need several weeks to get through the whole book. The chapters are divided into short sub-chapters, which makes the book easier to tackle when you have a few spare minutes on the wards. Most of the diagrams and flowcharts are very helpful --- in fact, I sometimes referred to them when my team wanted me to give presentations on specific topics. Combine this book with a good question source (like MKSAP 3) and you should be well-prepared for the internal medicine shelf. :)
