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.

 Not as good as medical handbook! November 2, 2008
If u can use medical handbook like Harrison , it would be better . This book is only good for 2nd and 3 rd medical students . Not good for resident level .
 Amazing book October 21, 2008
This was the best investment for my money and my time when preparing for step 2. One of the best books I've ever read, condensed but adequate, it pinpoints exactly what you need to know. I am a resident now and it still is one of my favorites. I give it a five.
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!
