Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good resource, but possibly redundantI agree with the other reviewers that when it comes time for each rotation, you probably will end up turning to more focused review books in each specialty. On the other hand, if you are disciplined enough, this is a great quick read to do before each rotation. It'd be much harder to finish Step-up or impossible to read to Washington Guide in a weekend for internal med! The hard part is motivating yourself to sit down and work during your golden weekend! Also, I find ... Read More Rating:  - I'd save the money for other titles.I didnt find this book very useful. You'll end up needing to buy the individual books for each rotation, so i'd save the cash and buy those instead. This book really dosent contain much that those dont. I went out and bought it at the start of rotations, looked at it briefly, and shelfed it. There just isnt time to use multiple sources to study. I'd recomend a specific book like Step up or Blueprints for each rotation along with a question book like MKSAP. Rating:  - Riding the coattails of the other first aid booksHaving used First Aid for the USMLE step I, picking up this book before starting third year was a no brainer for me. Too bad it's not in the same league. Although the book has over 400 pages, it really has only 75 pages of useful info. Essentially that's the first 50 pages and then 5-10 pages at the beginning of each clerkship section. The rest of the book is basically high yield topics in each clerkship. While that sounds good, the topics are not written in any depth. So, when you finally ... Read More Rating:  - A Must Have Resource for clinical rotations!I love the fact that this book has just a few pages dedicated to each discipline which allows for it to be read rather quickly. It is perfect for those 10 minute periods of down time you frequently get on rotations. This book doesn't dawdle on the tiny details, but it focuses on the key points needed to succeed without leaving important information out. A must have for any 3rd or 4th year student! Rating: - First aidVery useful- better for some rotations than others (not very indepth for surgery) but the psych and obgyn sections are great!
