 Rating:  - Must have review for step 2 and rotations!A great idea - just a few pages dedicated to each discipline which allows for it to be read rather quickly. That book doesn't dawdle on the tiny details, but focuses on the key points needed to succeed without leaving important information. This book is a great resource for any medical student on rotations! Get it before you start your third year and keep it close until graduation. It will even be helpful as you rotate through your intern year! Rating:  - Ok, but you will definitely need other books.This book is far from comprehensive. If you only read this book for your clinical rotations, you would without doubt fail the rotation shelf exam, and probably not impress your residents/attendings. The only use for this book was to read before starting a new rotation to get a general overview before proceeding on to read other sources such as the blueprints book.

It was useful for just one thing: making me feel less nervous about starting clinical rotations, since it gave me a general idea of what would be expected of me. The most useful parts of the book are the ward tips that give you a feel for the setup of each service. The actual review of relevant topics was pretty poor - too many details to be a broad overview of what you should be learning, but not enough details for you to ...

I found it really made me look like a superstar because I would write a "sample note" on an index card and carry it in my white coat. So when it came time for me to write notes, I didn't miss much. Every clerkship has their expectations for note writing and this book is so helpful especially in your 3rd year when you know zippo about how to write good notes. ... Read More
