Advantages-
1) Bulleted text lets you get through a lot of material efficiently.
2) There is enough detail in each section to prepare you for the test

I like this book and to be honest I complement my studies with Swanson's Family Medicine and Step-Up Medicine. Reviewing from the 3 books I feel that I get better information and reinforce my knowledge. I strongly recommend the 3 of them, and if you learn looking images and ordered items, this book is for you.

I was board-certified in Internal Medicine in 1978. I have taken numerous internal medicine review courses and board review courses since then. The Harvard Intensive Review of Medicine courses, MKSAP reviews, and ACP-sponsored seminars were all superb. But this is the best course I've taken. The presentations are consistently well organized, well paced, and interesting.

Book itself from what i have heard is excellent, but warehousedeals service was crappy to say the least, the code for web access for the multiple choice questions inside the book had already been used up by people at warehouse deals, I had to return the book and request refund
